At present, although it is not clear whether the Tokyo Olympic Games can be successfully held, the Japanese Table Tennis Association has come up with a selection idea for the 2024 Tokyo Olympic Games. So, what are their selection ideas in singles, teams and mixed doubles? Ping-pong talk takes you to interpret it!
First of all, let's pay attention to the specific selection of players.
Generally speaking, it is necessary to select 2 single-player and 1 extra team athletes, and select 1 mixed doubles from 3 players in singles and team competitions.
Among them, the main reference times for the determination of singles places are:
Period: From the end of the all-day championship in 2022 to the end of the all-day championship in 2024, this is the reference period for the list selection. Mainly refer to the performance of athletes in the following competitions: World Championships, Asian Championships, Asian Games, Paris Olympic trials, and 2 all-Japan championships.
The Japan Table Tennis Association will calculate the entry points of TAs according to the athletes' performance in the above-mentioned competitions, and select the Olympic entry list according to the sum of the points. However, it is worth noting that the points of the all-day champion in 2022-2023 are half of those of the all-day champion in 2023-2024.
