Don't jump the gun so fast. I should add that they don't talk about Miwa's brother in that way anymore, especially after WTTC 2022. Like Cai Zhenhua pointed out during WTTC 2018 on 5/2 (so after Japan lost to England in the group on 4/28), Harimoto admitted in the Butterfly interview after...

Here is Li Xiaoxia's assessment of Ito at the end of WTTC 2019. 晓霞谈世乒|伊藤美诚打球冷，下手挺狠 https://video.zhibo.tv/detail/video/86375.html Mima Ito Xiaoxia on WTTC Right, I feel she's a pretty bright player She gives you the chill and is rather vicious Also, she emphasizes on placement It's difficult...

At the WTTC 2024 press conference on 2/8, Hirano touched on an interesting point, saying that she can't win with speed and that she wants to play like an adult. Zhang Cheng has said in a Chinese interview before that he keeps track of comments by the CNT, especially Li Sun. It's likely he's...

Football players are those who fail to make it as table tennis players... 🫣 PING PONG DING DONG Spurs star Son Heung-min dislocated finger in ping pong bust-up with team-mate on eve of S. Korea’s shock Asian Cup exit...

Market share continues to go up for Butterfly and YET another record high has been set in Q3 (10-12/2023) of FY2024. 3 consecutive quarters already. It's not just the Glayzer series, but also Dignics, Tenergy and Rozena sell. [url...

Ito's body is "once again" mysteriously much better than at Zennihon Takkyu 2024. [url unfurl=false]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ooip_Gn6H4[/url]

Ito Jota at it again with his weird logic. See how Hirano handles being the oldest for WTTC 2024 and the only one with Olympic experience. The fact is Ito's age (as well as her ailing body) doesn't leave any room for her to be selected as the reserve player. She would've earned more praise...

Next episode is on Hairmoto's 2 points at WTTC 2022 (Human Action in Minna no Sports that aired on 2/11). Very interesting insights from 5 witnesses. Minna no Sports 2024/2/10 https://d0000d.com/d/1i6hsfr6wlzv Minna no Sports 2024/2/11 https://d0000d.com/d/8pcw9mkw4xpb

Ito is a goner... In the exclusive interview with TV Tokyo after the 3rd member was announced on 2/5 (Human Action in Minna no Sports that aired on 2/10), Ito revealed that she had decided to participate in WTTC 2024 regardless of the selection, and the reason is that she thinks the other...

Aha! TV Tokyo is good at analogies... Tokyo 2020 Projection: LSW/CM/SYS Reality: CM/SYS/WMY Paris 2024 Projection: Ito/Hayata/Hirano Reality: Hayata/Hirano/Harimoto [url unfurl=false]https://youtu.be/Qd5HokBr04A?t=445[/url]

The ones from 2009-2010 are the closest to Tenergy. The ones from 2011-2013 start to deviate and serve as the prototype for the later ones. The ones from 2014-now last shorter and weigh more, that is, the "perceived" performance gain actually comes from the higher hardness. In other words, the...

A Weibo user wondered about the same thing last September. https://weibo.com/5651532453/NjjWH2e30 One reason I'm curious is because Hamamoto is 1 of only 6 non-CNT players (4 from Japan) to have defeated SYS. SYS 0 H2H 1 Soo Wai Yam JGT 1-3 Hong Kong Junior and Cadet Open 2016 2 H2H 1 Cheng...

Speaking of which, what is Hamamoto Yui up to? She has gone silent for a good while...

Ito gives a rare update on Instagram, saying again she wants to achieve what others have not. Eh, she has been really "active" for "the only active gold medalist" after Zennihon Takkyu 2024... [url unfurl=false]https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3KYceVBcU7/[/url]...

If it were China, they would've put Hayata in the center, Hirano and Ito to her left and right, and Kihara on the far left and Harimoto on the far right. TWC 2019

Oh, I've forgotten to post the selection criteria for ATTC 2024 and WTTC 2025. Ito will have to play the selection trial in June unless she becomes the top ranked JNT player around mid August or early September. 佢都有今日。LOL...

As Ito dwells on past glory, in the meantime, Zhu Yuling has truly moved on with life and officially "announced" her boyfriend - BTW, Kato Miyu has also moved on and announced her hiatus from competitive table tennis. 卓球女子・加藤美優、全日本選手権辞退で当面休養へ「今は自分の時間を」　１９年に世界選手権８強...

Speaking of doubles in WT, I think the last time Ito played in one was back at TWC 2018. Her win over LSW at WTTC 2018 really changed the landscape, which is when I think Ito first became 不可一世. In contract, AFAIK, Hirano has never mentioned about the 250 pts she gave up to Hayata to this day...

Well, it has nothing to do with ESN. In the face of geopolitics, no amount of gross margin is going to be high enough. Butterfly became the villain last time when the US financial institutions screwed up and the rest of the world had to wipe their asses by paying the price - global inflation...
