According to the arrangement, Zhang Benzhihe will play mixed doubles with Hayata Hina, who are also the most likely mixed doubles team to represent the Japanese team in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games; As for the other place, it was given to Yukiya Uta/ Yoshida Shaji, which also means that Ishikawa Kasumi/Yoshimura Maharu, the mixed doubles champion of the 20th17th World Table Tennis Championships, missed the competition just like Miki Ito/Mizutani Junichi.
As early as shortly after the Olympic Games, the selection of Japanese table tennis team to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships was in full swing. According to the regulations, except Toshiyuki Mizutani, who has announced his retirement from the national team, all the main players who have participated in the Olympic Games have automatically obtained the singles qualification of the World Table Tennis Championships, including Zhang Benzhihe, yuriko koike, Mikei Ito, Ishikawa Kasumi and Miyu Hirano.
As for the other athletes, they took part in the trials of the World Table Tennis Championships. Results Yukiya Uta and Morikama Masataka from the men's team and Hayata Hina and Yoshida from the women's team stood out and qualified for singles, but the doubles arrangement was not released until September 12.
According to the arrangement, Zhang Benzhihe/Morikama Masataka, Yukiya Uta/Yukisuke Inoguchi will participate in the men's doubles competition, while Miki It?/Hayata Hina and Ishikawa Kasumi/Miyuki Ping Ye will participate in the women's doubles competition. As for mixed doubles, as mentioned earlier, Zhang Benzhi and Hayata Hina, Yutian Yuji and Yoshida Shazhi got the quota.
Prior to this, Mikei Ito had won the mixed doubles championship with Morikama Masataka twice in a row, and this time they were both selected for the singles team of the World Table Tennis Championships, but surprisingly, they did not combine mixed doubles. I don't know if this is the idea of the Japanese Table Tennis Association or the personal idea of Ito Miki (after all, Morikama Masataka doesn't have much say).
At present, it seems that the next stage of Ito Meicheng's preparation may be dominated by women's singles events. After all, the Olympic gold medal in mixed doubles has been won, so there is no need to "catch three things with one eyebrow and beard". We can concentrate on studying how to crack Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and other table tennis players in singles.
Before that, she will continue to cooperate with Hayata Hina to challenge the women's doubles gold medal in the World Table Tennis Championships-2065438+09. They almost reached the top, but lost to Sun Yingsha/Manyu Wang. So can they threaten China again this year? The answer will be announced soon, let's wait and see!
Note: Before the deadline for registration, the list can still be changed, and everything is subject to the final entry.
