JTTA Selection Trial for ATTC 2026 and WTTC Continental Stage 2027, 5/26-27

[zeio]

Denso Polaris is a JTTL team. Sato and Shibata extending their contracts with Mallets (many coaches and players are also affiliated with Miki House) shows they have not severed their connection entirely, unlike Hashimoto.

p.s.
Looking into it more, Sugasawa and Abe (now a manager) were also under either Shitennoji or Miki House or both at one point...

The Yahoo Japan comments on Hochi's report of Sato, Hashimoto and Shibata are essentially my sentiment from late 2022 that they (along with Kato) are the 2nd most unfortunate.

Hashimoto didn't even finish top 16 at Zennihon Takkyu 2025 so she didn't even make the NT Reserve Players. Sasao made it probably for winning Zennihon Shakaijin Takkyu 2024. Takeya made it probably for winning Inter-High 2024 (It was back in last August and so should've made the previous list in October but the council meeting probably didn't happen before then).

Uda as the top NT Reserve Player is tantamount to saying he is not worse than the NT Players.

Morizono Masataka is now the Men's Junior NT head coach.

It's crazy in my opinion to base NT/NT candidate off of one domestic tournament if the goal is to win internationally. Hashimoto faced fellow chopper in R32 and it went into expedite at the 2025 All Japan and lost 4-1. But she's had a fantastic 2024 beating a number of CNT players and making it to the finals of 2025 SC Chennai only losing to Miwa. Japan seems stuck in their old ways with regards to National Team membership.

 

[zeio]

Ito saying "I wish it could be simpler than that" reinforces my projection that the odds of the golden generation for LA 2028 continue to remain roughly the same.

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Miu Hirano must be pinning her hopes on doing well at the World Championships in May because she did not sign up for either Contender Taiyuan (next week) or Contender Tunis (near end of Apr). She will most likely fall below Kihara and probably Hashimoto (and outside chance of Nagasaki) because she has big points expiring on Apr 22 ... 265 pts with 90 in reserve for net loss of 175 pts which drops her to 1355 (Kihara 1300, Hashimoto 1250, Nagasaki 1195). She has to be careful not to fall below top 6 Japanese to play Grand Smash events where there's big prize money and ranking points. She should be well rested for the WTTC though so we'll see how she does.

As I suggested during Asian Cup 2025, Hirano is currently taking a real break in Hawaii to refresh herself, contrary to what NextLevel dismissed as excuses.

Everyone needs a break. What is an excuse is saying that needing a break is why someone is losing. And then deriding someone who plays better despite injury that working with zeio would have prevented as being dumb etc.

Could've waited to vacation until a certain someone was done in Incheon...

Yet another strawman argument by putting the cart before the horse once again. It's exactly because she's losing, that she needs a break, not the other way around. Like SYS until ATTC 2024, Hirano had been playing non-stop with zero days off after Paris 2024 before heading into the T.League 2024/2025.

Where was your scrutiny when Ito kept using the constant competitions, injuries and illnesses as excuses throughout the Paris 2024 cycle and even to the point of blaming how her style had become stagnant on the selection system?

Same with Hayata who cited the tropical climate as an "environmental factor" for her poor form in Singapore Smash 2023 and 2024. How did Yahoo Japan users react? Where was your scrutiny?

I'm not fond of repeating myself, but compare that with Hirano and even Harimoto.

If Ito and Hayata said they were losing due to lack of rest and poor condition and you weren't there to criticize them, then apparently it's you that is 寬己嚴人/tolerant with yourself but strict with others.

Again, Hirano never said, "I lost to all these players because I didnt take a break." You did. You criticized Hayata for not knowing when to quit or rest. Yet now what we are hearing is that dumb Hayata takes more breaks that Hirano the wise. The problem is not with the players, it is with what you put in your head as silly narratives. They don't make excuses, you make them for the players you like and discount them for the players you don't.

Every player manages themselves as they see best. I am a fan, I do not pretend to be their best manager as you do. Have you offered your expertise to Hayata yet? Or maybe Hirano could use it.

Miyazaki: "It's beneficial to Japan. XT is no problem."

卓球・宮崎専務理事「男女ともに強化している日本にとって有利」ロス五輪で混合団体追加　１増の６種目実施
https://hochi.news/articles/20250410-OHT1T51175.html?page=1

　日本卓球協会の宮崎義仁専務理事が１０日に都内で取材に応じ「メダルが１個増える。混合団体は男女ともに強化している国は、主に中国、日本、韓国ぐらい。日本にとっては大変有利に進むでしょう」と見解を示した。昨夏のパリ大会で日本が４大会連続の表彰台となる銀メダルを獲得してきた女子団体は、実施されなくなるが、パリ大会から１種目増えたことや、男女ともに力をつけてきたことで、混合団体に期待をこめた。

...

　新種目の混合団体は、２３年から中国・成都でW杯が実施されてきた。男女ともに中国が２連覇、日本は２３年に３位に入っている。宮崎氏は「世界的に見て、女子のスポーツの強化がまだ進んでいない国が多い。そういう意味では、（混合団体でメダルを取るために）男女均等に強化していかないといけなくなるので、いいことだと思っています」と見据えた。

卓球　２８年ロス五輪に混合団体＆男女ダブルス追加で宮崎専務理事「日本にとって有利」選手選考は従来通りシングルス優先か
https://www.daily.co.jp/general/2025/04/10/0018854418.shtml

　それを受けて、日本卓球協会の宮崎義仁専務理事が１０日、都内で取材に応じた。「男女ともに強いのは中国と日本、それ以外だと韓国ぐらい。日本にとっては有利に進む。混合団体も問題はない」と所感を語った。

　ただ１つネックとなるのが、五輪に出場できる選手の絶対数は変わらないこと。日本から派遣できる選手数は従来通り、男女それぞれ３枠と変わらない見通しで、ダブルス種目が追加されたとはいえ、２枠を使ってしまうダブルス専門選手を優先して派遣することは難しい。パリ五輪と同じく男女それぞれのシングルス２人に団体要員を含めた３人を五輪代表とし、ダブルスはその中でペアリングする形を取ることが濃厚だ。

　「シングルスで勝負した上位２名と、あと１名は強化本部推薦となる」と宮崎専務理事。今後の選考方法については「変わってくると思う。（世界ランキング重視になる）でしょうね」と予想した。

In the T-League, she has won 12 consecutive matches without a loss this season. She said that she was mentally struggling when the tournament started in August right after the Paris Olympics, and recalled, "I had no time off at all. It's rude (to the spectators and people involved), but (at the time) I played the matches while really hating it." However, she said that the break helped her to reaffirm her love for table tennis. "Whenever I take a break from table tennis, I want to play again, so all things considered, I guess I really like table tennis. Until now, I thought I had to play because I had the Olympic dream, but I've realized that I actually want to play even when I'm not in that situation, and it's pretty fun."

She will have a 3-day break from the New Year holidays, from the 30th to January 1st. She will have a hectic schedule, starting her training on the 2nd, playing in the T-League on the 4th, and departing for Qatar on the 5th to compete in an international tournament. She said with a wry smile, "I have to prepare (for the matches) while taking a break."

zeio 2025 habit - retire Japanese players + insult vocab addition "straw man" and new word when running out of things to say "+ stop wasting my time"
zeio 2024 to beginning of time - I am born to retire Japanese players and be god on western table tennis forums and if anyone who doesn't agree with me, i will insult them.

so tell me straw women
how many teams entered in the 2 mixed team world cups, and how many send reserves?
and didn't Japan want to send reserves? and what happened?

also, who is whose practice partner in JNT, since you said they are like CNT

lol, he is just keyboard warrior
if he loss hyperlink ability, or internet disabled, there is nothing left.

he doesn't even work with Chinese players, or any players, but pretend he knows everything about every player, because it says so on the internet or chat groups.

So where did she attribute any specific losses to not resting? Strawman? You speak English but its nuances may confuse you. And if she took a break during that period, was that break long enough? Or she didn't take a break? You are the one attributing things that were never said.

First quote from Japanese is: "[Ranking of favorite Japanese female table tennis players of all time] The cute and strongest former ace player beat out "current ace" Hayata Hina by a large margin in first place"

Second quote in Japanese is: "Kasumi Ishikawa was the strongest! "Favorite female table tennis players" ranking

• 2nd and 3rd place are active in the Paris Olympics"
  
  Zeio, for short quotes like that, can you provide translations. There are people who are complaining that is not in English and the post was reported for that issue.
