Don't deflect my question. Answer it. And if you're on to retrospective period, address
my other question as well. Your change of stance over the last decade has been irrational. I've made my case by posting evidence of those players openly addressing the topic of retirement at 23 years old. Take it or leave it. Knock yourself out with your attitudes.
As for your argument that those players being way better than me, it makes no logical sense either. While I'm an amateur without the skills to play the game/execute tactics at their level, it doesn't necessarily mean I don't know/can't see what they need to do to win. For instance, I insisted Hirano had to slow her game down (
1,
2) back at Austrian Open 2017. Hirano
admitted it in 2019 that she could win just by playing fast in the past but everyone had caught on and played like her. It took her until 2023 to show results and she said varying the pace was crucial in beating SYS (

how Hayata hit too hard at times back in late 2019. Hayata said it
took her until 2023 to fix it.
Last example.
MATSUSAKI Daisuke, Ito's former coach, is actually an amateur as well. Having seen his multi-ball session with Ito, I'd argue Minori-san is better than him. Ironically, it is exactly someone like him who coached Ito into an Olympic gold medalist that
plunged the CNT into 5 years of fear.
honestly, your posts are all too long, with too much links and pictures often, so I just jump through it (i don't have the energy or time like you to spend on forums)
i don't really know what your question is, but your logic is flawed and I surely don't need to justify myself for your flaws?
because CNT can retire its players, it does not give you the privileged to do the same for other countries players, even if it is on table tennis forum
who do you think you are?
because China is the number 1 country in TT, you can bully other players on the internet?
CNT retiring players is a sad but silence topic and yet you go on for years about retiring some of Japanese greatest ever.
as I said, you are just a couch potato, and have something against Japanese womens for what ever reason unknown to me. But end of the day, Ito is there on her own merit and she does not need to make way for a player that plays 3 events in 200+ days in 2024, or even loose to Korean players for other players to have a chance.
sports is about fair competition, you not good enough, then go cry in the background and come back and beat the stronger player.
Ito is ranked high due to her ability and her paricipation, not some corruption and should be investigated.
you are asking for highly ranked players to retire, because you don't like her here or there or whatever.
its sports competition, not a popularity contest for petes sake
and for the player you want to have played in Smash, well, she needs to take part in more WTT and up her rating...
3 events in 2024 at time of entry deadline for Smash....while every one else is 5 to 7 times that.
and here you go jumping up and down and blaming it on Ito....
i'm glad your kids are not on the WTT circuit, Karen like mom approach
