Ito says she wanted to leave her name in history. Her comment about having teammates for the first time in a while highlights the difference between her and Hirano. Other than Hayata, who else in the table tennis circle gets along with her? 【卓球】五輪争い26日決着条件　平野美宇「人生は自分で決める」伊藤美誠「他は考えていない」...

Have to make a separate post for the reports by Daily Sports since adding this one would go over the character limit. ４年前涙→悲願切符獲得の平野美宇「まだ実感はわいてない」リオ五輪補欠、東京五輪団体から初シングルス代表 https://www.daily.co.jp/general/2024/01/26/0017263401.shtml 　He won his first match 4-3 in a full game, but from there he...

As fate would have it, Hirano got up exactly from where she fell 4 years later, starting her counterattack by defeating WYD at Singapore Smash 2023 and sealing her victory by returning the favor to Ito at Zennihon Takkyu 2024. From WTGF 2019, with "Vivaldi: The Four Seasons" playing in the...

While Ito hints that she may not play the WT, she still wants to end (retire?) on a high note, and that she wants to quit but at the same time doesn't want to quit either. And guess what? Ito says she has been suffering rib pain caused by the cough from the cold she caught near the end of last...

Tokyo Sports did an interview with Matsushita Koji before the start of Zennihon Takkyu 2024. Very interesting insight. Courtesy of Bing Translate. 【卓球】平野美宇 vs 伊藤美誠　パリ五輪代表争い「決め手」は…レジェンド松下浩二氏が分析 https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/289772 　The battle of fate finally begins. Hina Hayata...

A message from Hirano's hometown Chuo City. 平野美宇選手 パリ五輪卓球女子シングルス代表に内定！ https://www.city.chuo.yamanashi.jp/attention/12367.html

ITO Jota and Mizutani have left their comments on Yahoo News. As usual, Ito Jota goes about with his weird logic, pitting the H2H among Hayata, Hirano and Ito. Mizutani says he spoke to Hirano after the match and it left him a lasting impression. Hirano says she kept running away the last...

My sincerest non-apology apology if I come across as harsh on Hayata (know that I supported her so much in the Tokyo 2020 cycle) but Hirano proves herself again. Hayata has MUCH more to do to cement her status as Japan's No.1.

Other than Idesawa, Ito didn't meet 2/3 of her projected opponents. OTOH, Hirano met 3/3. Projected opponents (in reality): R64 Ojio Y. (Nomura) R32 Idesawa R16 Izumo (Kimura) QF Yokoi R64 Mende R32 Mori R16 Odo QF Sato or Ando (Akae) Kinoshita is the biggest winner here as the...

Yet you know for sure the 2nd part was insinuating Harimoto.

1/26 WS R6/R16 Hayata 4-1 Shibata (Shibata had chances in G3 and G4 and Hayata could've trailed 1-3) Namba 2-4 Nagasaki Sato 1-4 赤江 夏星/AKAE Kaho (too late for Akae to play catch-up now as the next wave is already in motion) Odo 0-4 Hirano (didn't expect this one to go so smoothly) Yokoi 4-2 枝廣...

Congratulations to Hayata for securing the Olympic WS bronze today! WS R6/R16 Odo 0-4 Hirano G1 79, 99, 1110, 1113 G2 58, 78, 79, 89, 811 G3 24 TO for Odo, 34, 35, 45, 46, 56, 57, 59, 69, 610, 810,811 G4 16, 26, 28, 29 endline edge for Hirano, 39, 310, 410, 411 Ito 1-0 -> 1-1 -> 3-1 -> 3-4...

MS R5/R32 1506 Iwaida 0-4 Yoshimura M.

Forget Matsushima Sora and Matsushima Miku. 岩井田 駿斗/IWAIDA Shunto, still in elementary school, reaches MS R5/R32. https://www.butterfly.co.jp/players/detail/iwaida-shunto.html 石田 心美/ISHIDA Kokomi, still in elementary school, finishes in WS R4/R64. https://jtta.or.jp/news/17641...

WS R4/R64 Kihara 0-3 -> 4-3 牛嶋 星羅/USHIJIMA Seira Kihara turned the tables on another chopper again, after Han Ying and Sato.

Once again, tell that to Harimoto and Mizutani, and the folks in Japan and China. There were two rankings (best articles and best matches) done by Rallys at the end of 2023 and guess who topped both? It's NOT Hayata. https://rallys.online/read/20231222bestarticles/...

Another threat to Ito neutralized. As projected, Hirano has the more difficult draw. WS R4/R64 Izumo 1-4 岡田 琴菜/OKADA Kotona
