My gut feel is Ishikawa and Ito will be playing in the Olympics, although Hirano is currently ahead of Kasumi.

JTTA Oct 4 2019
Hina Hayata is back on the National Team, Shibata is now relegated to the Reserves.

uh ? on jtta site http://www.jtta.or.jp/player/tabid/230/Default.aspx,
i can see that Hayata was #5 on JNT list in 2018, now she is still in the list in 2019 but as #6.

It makes little sense that Hayata was on the list last year but didn't participate in any of the big competitions, what is this list for ?

i stick to my conspiracy theory that she got some form of "punishment" for something which is not being disclosed to the public.

Hayata hasn't been on the National Team for most of 2019 because of drop in WR, JTTA just put her back on Oct4.
Just check the participation list Tournament by Tournament in 2019, and you’ll see she was on her own most of this year.
Good for her she clawed her way back.

Very happy for Mima Ito, but I gotta say, I've never seen Miu Hirano cover the table so well like this. So hard to get her out of position now.

Hayata relative to Shibata +320pt Oct
-1125, -900....-900, -900
In Nov Hayata should still be 95 pts ahead of Shibata.

Right..
In general, it is interesting to see the results of the October duel of these players ...They are in four tournaments in October ....

Ito will gain at least 1170pts in Swedish Open, so +270pts for a total of 11135pts.

Hirano -960pts, Ishikawa -1280pts.

In Ishikawa's case, she'll have to finish 1st(2550pts) in World Cup to get past Ito and at least QF(1275pts) to get past Hirano, who also must finish in Pos 17-20(765pts).

Looking really dire for my idol.

Although Ishikawa still has a chance to rise above Ito in the ITTF ranking .... In December ... Ito will receive a deduction of old points for November 2018 (-3150), Ishikawa (-1260) ...
Of course, there will be a replacement from the reserve, but Ito does not have very good reserve points ..
