Mima Ito is not especially tiny vs her JNT teammates. It is in part relative to the culture. That is my point.

The opponent was dead before it even started.

I actually think that's for lack of an answer to MI's versatility.

Yes, rekt indeed. Still, even MI showed some nerves closing it.

Poor Zhu Yuling, it looked like she was about to burst in tears a few times. And this comes fresh after the World Cup where she got utterly destroyed as well. As a defending champion. Yikes.

Agreed, but not to the tune of 0-4. I suspect that there was a game plan but it was so not working that she gave up after and said the plan was all wrong and couldn't fix it.

I recognize the merit in your words, but hey, I was sitting with Mima Ito and her teammates and that impression of minuteness was what stuck. I recall her as small amongst her peers, which is what I tried to convey.
Pretty much like when meeting Prince and his escort after concert. Your impression of the meister crowded by lanky females on stage gets a reality check. Ah well.

1.5m is seriously small, even for Japanese women. I mean Liu Shiwen it tiny and she's 10cm taller than Mima Ito.

She's 150cm can't be called other than tiny and that's the tiny me talking from my 154cm

Who cares about her size, she played an awesome final. This must have been the first womens' match I have watched from the beginning to the very end. I could not believe those shots she pulled off were real until she did it again and again and again

Short players have a huge advantage in terms of shot mechanics. Tall players have a huge advantage in terms of reach.

I don't think anyone's here talking otherwise, just kinda pointing out how amazing she is and how amazingly is to someone so small to be so powerful and unpredictableWho cares about her size, she played an awesome final.

Again I missed this game ..... Mima in hirano mode , But I dont think she will fall as her teammate did in these days . She is always Mima Ito , a great threat for chinese ... By the way its Liu shiwen's fault that all the chinese got smashed like this she could make Mima Ito silent , she was up 3 - 1 but lost .

She is a good of example of great technique showing power without much real physical strength.
