I wonder if not selecting Batra is going to backfire on them.
IND: No Batra, yes medal.
THA: Yes S. Sawettabut, no medal.
HKG: Yes DHK, no medal.

Just wondering why Japan women didn't select either of their top class defenders, instead opting for Mende and falling back onto Ito. Also no Odo. An idiosyncratic team selection.

Because it isn't a selection as much as a qualification - Rin Mende won the trials. Had Odo or one of the defenders won the trials, they would be in her place. Ito at the time was qualified by ranking and since it was in Japan she wanted to play. At best they could have replaced Nagasaki, but I try to remind people that team selection is not just about picking the team you think is best, it is also in part about ensuring that the players who are going to play for you believe it is a meritocracy.

Preechayan won the U15 XD of WYC 2025. Like Faraji at ATTC 2024 and 2025, teenage players with fast reflex always have the potential to upset under the right conditions.

Almost forgot Uda is also there. Doubt he will get to play since it is SF and F next. At least Shinozuka outdid himself ~

So semis are
Mens: Japan vs Korea and China vs Taiwan
Womens: Japan vs Korea and China vs N. Korea

Was there an internal trials where Fan Shuhan was selected? I know they probably dropped Wang Yidi and maybe CXT to prepare the next gen, but surprised that Qin didn't go...
