Beijing time on January 23, the Japanese Table Tennis National Championship is about to usher in the second day of competition. The national table tennis rival, 15-year-old Harimoto Miwa, is about to make her debut, taking the lead in the women's singles event in the youth group. , and 16-year-old Matsushima Terukong, the star of hope for Japanese men's table tennis, will also participate in the men's singles competition in the youth group.
In the past two years, Miwa Harimoto and Teru Matsushima have defeated many world champions and reached the first-class level in the table tennis world. However, the Japanese civil war is difficult to fight and young stars emerge in an endless stream, so they do not dare to do so this time. Slow down!
The Japan Table Tennis Championships is the most important event in the island nation's table tennis world. Hundreds of people participate in each event, and the momentum is huge. Among them, teenagers have special men's and women's singles events, which also reflects their emphasis on age echelon construction.
Currently, the most outstanding achievements among the younger generation of Japanese table tennis are Miwa Harimoto, born in 2008, and Terukora Matsushima, born in 2007. The former has defeated Qian Tianyi, Hina Hayata, Mima Ito, Miu Hirano, and Ishikawa. Jiachun, the latter has defeated Ocharov, Tomokazu Hari, and Lee Sang-soo, so many fans think that they will be a bit "bullying" if they play in the youth competition.
However, in the last Japan Table Tennis Championships, although Miwa Harimoto performed well and easily won the women's singles championship in the youth competition, Terukora Matsushima was upset and lost to Keiki Hagiwara in the final 2-3. The runner-up position shows that the competition is still very fierce.
Of course, Hagiwara Keizhi, who was born in 2005, is still older than Matsushima Terukora. This battle was a "big fight against a small one", and he still won by a narrow margin, which shows that he is not particularly strong. What's more, in the following year, Matsushima Terukora developed by leaps and bounds. Not long ago, he defeated Harimoto Tomokazu and almost defeated Lin Yunru, while Hagiwara Keiki continued to be unknown. Comparing the two, the gap is clear at a glance.
Next, Miwa Harimoto will appear at 11:25 am on January 23rd, Beijing time, to participate in the third round of the junior women's singles, but the opponent has not yet been announced; as for Matsushima Terukong, he will compete at 12:00 noon. The third round of the youth men's singles match, but like Harimoto Miwa, his opponent has not yet been born, and he will not know until the second round is over.
According to arrangements, the second to fifth rounds of youth singles will end on January 23, and the list of top four will be born; in addition, the first round of regular singles will also kick off, but Tomokazu Harimoto, Hina Hayata and others They all have a bye and don’t have to play for the time being.
