ITTF-ATTU Asian Championships Tashkent 2026, 10/18-25

[kindof99]

The schedule for this ATTC was really crazy packed. Did anyone even count how many games Miwa played for these several days? At least four matches in the final day.

If LTY just kept chopping for the last several points with good placement, the result might be different. I thought Harimoto would blow it off after leading 7:2.

It came down to the gap in experience.

Harimoto went over his 3-4 loss to FZD at Paris 2024 in Part 3 of the Butterfly interview and said he would've fallen into the trap if he stepped around when asked what if he took more risks and how FZD's push broke his spirit at 7:7 of G7 as he didn't know what to do even though he knew a push was coming up next.

Harimoto's mom was a former china national team chopper. It surprised me that Harimoto was so bad against a chopper. Mom needs to give more lessons.

And his dad used to play penhold...

HT Vs LTY

 

[Metaxa]

Once the blocking came back and Tianyang stopped scoring as many free points, it was a fair match. Harimoto hugging and piggybacking on his coach, the one that some say should retire. Thats clearly a pipe dream with that relationship.

LTY failed to carry their forehand parallel shots (which required a run-up) through to HT’s forehand. But this may well have been down to HT’s merit, as they played better (lower and faster after the collision) push-drops, because those were a sight to be desired in the first two sets.

HT pushed further more to the backhand side of LTY after game 2. It was not easy for HT to pivot for forehand. Harimoto played much wider placement and moves away from the table a little bit to block/quick loop LTY's forehand loop, which contributed to his win.

His overall game definitely improved in game 2, he should reaply have won that game IMHO, but LTY is tough. I think that Harimoto missed so much in game 1 and parts of game 2 on defense that LTY didn't worrry as much about placement after a while. But thankfully it didn't last forever.

The CNT dif not predict Hashimoto would play 2. If you have any evidence they did, you can share it. I think they fully prepped Kuai Man for Hashimoto ans it showed in their singles match

In any case, we will see how this all plays out. Hopefully, you atill think that Chen Yi's lack of success at the junior level has some special meaning and her growth spurt hurt her table tennis in some permanent way. You make such random statements but never the mea culpas.

My last post was based on WH's response on the MT F lineup at Aichi-Nagoya 2026. You seriously think they didn't prepare for all possible scenarios? Nakazawa put Hashimoto in 1st singles (ABC) with Hayata in 3rd singles on the first try at ATTC 2025. And if many of us here and those in Japan and China have been saying Hashimoto should've played 2nd singles (XYZ) at WTTC 2026 and Nakazawa had to elaborate his rationale afterward, you think the CNT coaches wouldn't have thought of that?

This is second time fatique was a factor Miwa lost in WS F and WD F after ATTC 2024. Even Tieba users doesn't deny that fact as part of the reason for CY's win, after 5 consecutive losses, including the one in WT F (more if WD/XD are counted). As I've stressed repeatedly, they've been keeping a close track of their win rate and players they beat and lost to from junior to senior years and CY lost to Harimoto in all 4 U19 events at WYC 2022.

Last but not least, it was CY that told Table Tennis World that her growth spurt became an obstacle in 2022, citing her loss in U19 GT SF against JPN at WYC 2021, how the team put her in 1st singles up against chopper Ojio Haruna because she had never lost. Therefore, I wrote that post on CY based on her own account. So please, I've wasted enough time with your baseless allegations over the years.

世青赛上，只参加团体的陈熠经历了“稀里糊涂”就输了球的1/4决赛，也完成了半决赛对阵日本队先输后赢“自我救赎”的过程。“半决赛队伍把我排一号，是因为我之前一局都没输过小塩遥菜。但1/4决赛输球确实把我‘打蒙’了”。半决赛第一盘负于小塩后，陈熠顿感被逼上了绝境。第四盘上场前，她往脸上猛拍了两遍凉水，“对木原美悠1比2落后，在那种无路可退的压力下，我已经忘了紧张了，完全专注去想下一板球该怎么打。决胜局打到9平后能赢下来，说明我之前对自己的磨练是对的”。

(At the World Youth Championships, Chen Yi—who competed exclusively in the team event—experienced a quarterfinal loss [TL's note: 2-3 Elizabet Abraamian of RUS] that left her feeling completely bewildered, followed by a semifinal comeback against Japan that served as a moment of personal redemption. "The team put me in 1st singles for the semifinal because I had never lost a single game [match] to Ojio Haruna before. But that quarterfinal defeat really left me dazed." After losing the opening match of the semifinal to Ojio, Chen Yi suddenly found herself backed into a corner. Before stepping onto the table for the fourth match, she splashed cold water on her face twice. "Trailing 1–2 against Kihara Miyuu, under that kind of do-or-die pressure, I forgot all about being nervous; I was entirely focused on how to play the next shot. Winning the deciding game after it reached 9:9 proves that the hard work I’ve put into my own development was the right path.")
