Japan's only Olympic gold medal in table tennis history came in the mixed doubles final at Tokyo 2021. Mizutani and Ito defeated China's Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen to win the first mixed doubles gold medal in Olympic history. What has been achieved will forever go down in history.
It stands to reason that with this experience of fighting side by side, Mizutani Hayabusa and Ito Misei should have formed a friendship comparable to a golden sword. However, Mizutani Hayabusa recently revealed on his current Fuji TV channel: "I was blocked by Misei Ito. ”
At this year's World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, Mizutani Hayabusa, who has been retired for a long time, became a front-line reporter for the TV station, reporting on the Japanese team's game in Busan. During the interview, while talking to the Japanese women's team, Mizutani asked Ito if he had read his new book. Misei Ito said bluntly: "No, I will never read your book. Subsequently, Ito further stated that he would not use honorifics for Mizutani Shuya.
At the time, it was pointed out that the relationship between Mizutori and Ito did not seem to be as strong as expected.
During this TV interview, the host Yukiji Higashino asked him: "After the World Table Tennis Championships team competition, did you send a line or other information to Misei Ito?" ”
Mizutani replied with a wry smile, "I was blocked by him." It was about four months after the Tokyo Olympics. After we met, I posted a ** that we took together. When I asked her in the taxi, 'I sent**, why didn't I get a 'read' reply. She said, "I've blocked you."
Mizutani further revealed, "When we were talking in Busan this time, I said, 'I hope you can unblock the line,' but she replied, 'I'm sorry, it's already been deleted, so it can't be unblocked.'" I can only express my disappointment. ”
Regarding Mizutani's experience, the host expressed sympathy: "It's really rare for someone who is talking to you face-to-face to block you. ”
Mizutani continued to stubbornly state, "We have a good relationship! ”
In fact, Mizutani Hayabusa and Ito have a long-standing relationship. In 2007, when Ito was only 7 years old, Mizutani Hayabusa, as a senior who had already become famous in the national team, guided Ito Misei to carry out a condolence exchange action.
Later, Ito gradually grew and became stronger, and finally became a competitor of the same level who could stand next to Mizutani Hayabusa. The two teamed up to achieve success in the mixed doubles, winning many accolades until they became the gods of the Eastern Olympics.
It seems that such a solid foundation of friendship should not be reduced to a plastic friendship in any way.
Some Japanese netizens analyzed in the comments that Misei Ito may really be rigid with Mizutani Hayabusa. "Misei Ito is a person with a double cleanliness fetish, Mizutani Hayabusa hugs others without wearing **, and he lost two buildings before, Misei Ito really won't be close to such a person. ”
A pair of mixed doubles overlords in the past, now one is disliked by the other party, and the other is **. Mizutani Hayabusa is really miserable. The so-called "team spirit", "culture" and "inheritance" of the Japanese table tennis team are really funny.
The latest development of Mizuwell's "old face separation and forgetfulness" is that Misei Ito's mother posted on social ** on March 3 that Misei Ito is doing business at home ** (signed photo for fans), and Mizutani Hayabusa will move ** to your own line and post it with the following text after seeing it:
Maybe Micheng's mother took pity on me and gave me a ** with a big smile on my face. What a cute girl, but the line has been deleted [covering face].
Or the obsession and the line have been removed, like an abandoned little resentful woman. I laughed again [laughs] [laughs] [laughs].
