JTTA: Selection System to be Revamped for Paris 2024

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

Yeah, that's quite revealing as Ito's name should've come first because qualification by WR is listed before the selection trial in the selection criteria.

https://jtta.s3.ap-northeast-1.amaz...024ajia_2025world_selection_criteria_0821.pdf

the intern made a mistake. I think you're overthinking on this one

 

[zeio]

Hayata should step aside. Assuming one month preparation she would have to start training around now, doesn't seem like enough time to recover from her severe injury. Looks like JNT are testing out Odo to see if she can break into the main team. Miwa, Odo + Hayata for 2028?

To be frank, only Miwa is set for LA 2028. The odds for Hirano, Hayata and Ito are roughly the same if the selection system remains unchanged. There is no telling what happened to Ito wouldn't happen to Hayata and it doesn't have to do with injuries. It comes down to how she positions herself in the next cycle.

But Hayata and Ito is completely different
I think one important factor you forgot is Hayata is not Ito in terms of playing style, personality, attitude and even lefty combination.
Hayata to me has achieved way more than Ito has every achieved, so that also takes a lot of merit.

you some times can't just put things on an excel sheet and compare. They are real life people

Some of this is open to debate since Ito beat a lot of the top Chinese at ITTF events early but never got a singles WTTC medal while Hayata hasn't beaten a lot of the top Chinese but had a singles medal, but the more I reflect on what you wrote, I can't agree that Hayata has achieved way more than Ito, I keep running through my mind over whether the WTTC medal is everything because if Ito's unlucky draws when SYS was the lowest rated Chinese and I can't see it because Ito has basically played many WTTCs and being almost always eliminated by Chinese players.

I do agree that health permitting, Hayata's style is far more difficult to match up with than Ito for upcoming players. But I am focused on the achievement part and I don't think that is fair to Ito at all.

Hayata has achieved way more, it isn't just medal, but it is also image (something zeio and his pals are trying to destroy)

Ito is limited and zeio thinks all japanese people must retire when they are 24.
so anything in that line is just silly.

I don't just look at H2H with Chinese players, but as a whole.
Ito had early day glory, Hayata's time has really just started imo.

I had met both of them (including Hirano) 8 years ago, and I always thought Hirano would last longer, but Hayata was the more complete player as she grew taller. I have always my doubts on early success wonders, since it is just too rare - not even Chinese players can live up to it, and the only person ever was Deng Yaping, who retired at 24.... what is the odds, lol. Maybe zeio was calling for her retirement too

 

[apacible]

Yea I know, I was referring to the fact that they signed her up for WD and XD. If they didn't want to groom her they wouldn't have bothered arranging doubles pairings for her (see Miyu Kato).

Also interesting how Odo's name comes before Ito's in both singles and team listings.

Yeah, that's quite revealing as Ito's name should've come first because qualification by WR is listed before the selection trial in the selection criteria.

https://jtta.s3.ap-northeast-1.amaz...024ajia_2025world_selection_criteria_0821.pdf

Actually, it seems JTTA listed the names in the order stated in the selection criteria:

(1) Selection method for men's and women's singles representative players (maximum number of entries: 5 men and 5 women)
① Men's and women's Japanese representative players for the Paris 2024 Olympics (HAYATA, HIRANO, M. HARIMOTO)
② The highest ranked Japanese player in the singles world ranking for the week including 14 days before the final entry date for the Asian Championships (HAYATA AGAIN)
③ Winner of the Japanese representative selection tournament for the Asian Championships (hereinafter referred to as the selection tournament) (ODO)
④ If the players selected from ① to ③ above overlap and do not reach the maximum number of entries, the players will be selected in the following order.
a) The winner of the singles general division of the 2024 All Japan Table Tennis Championships
b) The top ranked Japanese players in the singles world ranking for the week including 14 days before the final entry date for the Asian Championships, excluding ② in (1) above (THERE IS AN OVERLAP as HAYATA is a member of the Paris Olympic Team, the Highest Ranked Japanese Player, and All Japan Champion, so ITO FALLS HERE. Ito qualified not under ② but under ④ b)

So, it really should be Hayata, Hirano, M. Harimoto, Odo, Ito in that order.

The same thing happened in how the Men's team was listed:
T. Harimoto, Togami, Shinozuka, Kenji Matsudaira, M. Yoshimura.
Likewise, M. Yoshimura qualified under ④ b) since there is an overlap with T. Harimoto being a member of the Paris Olympic Team, the Highest Ranked Japanese Player, and All Japan Champion

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Yokoi just soundly beat Odo 3-0 at Contender Almaty. There's going to be massive competition for that 3rd spot at LA 2028: Hirano, Kihara, Odo, Yokoi, Nagasaki, Ito?, and maybe some other dark horses (4 yrs is a long time).

 

[zeio]

Citing an example from tennis for future reference.

In the post-match interview after winning WS gold (first Asian, male or female, to do so in tennis at the Olympics), Zheng Qinwen said she learned from her final defeat at Australian Open 2024, that she kept her head cooler than usual, played with more patience, and didn't think of finishing the point in one shot at the first opportunity.

https://youtu.be/cSMHW7-Arl8?t=44

https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/fo...-be-revamped-for-paris-2024.24977/post-474046

In case all the posts I've made have not been crystal clear, the first requirement to "keeping the ball on the table" is to stop yourself from the strong urge to finish the point, more often than not with difficult shots that end up going long. The terms that refer to the situation in Chinese are:
起板(opening up, and in this case you need to hold back as Harimoto explained in the quote below);
發死力 (forcing the shots with your muscles stiffening up);
加保險 (adding insurance, which is equivalent to really spinny loops with a relatively higher and shorter trajectory);
上枱 (getting on table) and so on.

The 6th Japan Road to Paris Olympic Trials dated Nov 25-26 are fast approaching. See the website here: https://jtta.or.jp/tour/13250

The draws have been released already. Like the 5th Trials, draws were done in order of current Japan Paris Points Standings (e.g. 1 v 16, 2 v 15, etc.)

Men's Draw: https://jtta.s3.ap-northeast-1.amaz.../11/21155119/2023_Zennoh_CUP_OSAKA_M_Draw.pdf

Women's Draw: https://jtta.s3.ap-northeast-1.amaz.../11/21155118/2023_Zennoh_CUP_OSAKA_F_Draw.pdf

Furthermore, it doesn't seem there will be any TV Tokyo live stream. Like the 3rd Trials, it will only be broadcasted on FUJI TV and FOD Premium.

I made a previous post on how to watch FOD Premium if you have Japan VPN https://mytabletennis.net/forum/2023-zennoh-cup-osaka-11-2526_topic91479_post1134796.html#1134796

Going out on a limb here, but does anyone know where we can watch full matches of the 6th Japan Road to Paris Olympic Trials (Zennou Osaka)? I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find it. Of course freely available would be best but I don't mind paying for FUJI TV and FOD Premium if I have to but only if they still have those videos archived of course. Don't want to risk paying for it only to find out that it was a one-and-done livestream.

5ch comments once again show what the general public feels is more important in the pecking order, between WR and selection trials, as well as win rates against non-CNT players and CNT players.

It's fine to abolish domestic selection, but I want Japan's own selection criteria

ID:94/05EPD(3/3)
If the selection criteria were simply world rankings, since most of the sponsors would be Chinese, China would essentially hold the power in the ITTF, so it could be easily manipulated.

So I want Japan to have its own selection criteria as a risk hedge.
World rankings can be easily manipulated by seeding and participants.

As >>23 said, there are various problems with deciding entirely by world ranking
But if it is decided only by domestic selection trials regardless of world ranking
participation in international competitions will be neglected, and players will drop in ranking, which will put them at a disadvantage in terms of seeding and reduce their international competitiveness
Sponsors of players will also be uncooperative with participating in international competitions
Basically, it is a points system (said repeatedly, it will be rejected as an NG word, so from here on let it be P) that emphasizes domestic selection trials, but the period and number of trials should be reduced
I think it would be good to decide the right to participate in the selection trials and the seeding based on the world ranking.
Stop the farce of having the top finishers from Hopes and Inter-High participate in the selection trials
Allocate Ps accordingly for defeating the top players in world ranking
No Ps from the T-League are allowed

[Summary of the Paris Olympics]
After all, Harimoto, who had no popularity or ability, was not needed
If they had chosen Ito, she would not have lost to an unknown German player
In the match against China, they failed to take a single match and suffered a crushing defeat
As a result of making a ridiculous selection based on the delusion that "Harimoto can beat China"
the Japanese team has fallen to the level it was at at the time of the Rio Olympics

対中国の伊藤はどう考えても美和以下
もう長年中国トップにノーチャンスの状態
代表3人は王藝迪に勝っているが伊藤だけ勝てていない
王曼昱にも直前にスト負け最終ゲーム2点しかがとれない形でボコされている
ダブルスもみまひなだとしても中国の対策完了していてあんなに競ることもできなかっただろうし
みうみまも無理だっただろう
伊藤を選んでいたら中国に完全にノーチャンスとなる

伊藤が中国以外に盤石かというと最近はそうではない
日本だと代表3人のほか木原長崎だけではなく木村に負けたり
ワールドカップでスターシニーとワンエイミー相手に予選落ちしたりしている

ダブルスは早田があの状態であそこまでできたのだから
早田が万全ならば勝てた可能性が大きい
そうしたらまた流れも違ったかもしれない
中国に対して最初からノーチャンスの布陣でいくより
わずかでも可能性がある布陣を選んだのは正解

ここ数回の五輪のようにただやられるのを見るだけではない中国との試合を見ることができた

No matter how you look at it, Ito against China is inferior to Miwa
It has been a long time since she had no chance against the top CNT players
The 3 representatives have beaten WYD, but Ito is the only one who has not been able to beat her
She was beaten by WMY just before then, losing in straight games and only getting 2 points in the final game
Even if it was Mima-Hina in doubles, China's measures were already complete and they would not have been able to compete that well
Miu-Mima would have been impossible either
If Ito had been chosen, there would have been no chance against China

Ito is not solid against anyone other than China these days
In Japan, in addition to the 3 representatives, Kihara/Nagasaki and not only that, she also lost to Kimura and was eliminated in the group stage against Suthasini and Wang Amy at the World Cup

Hayata completed the doubles in that condition, so if she had been in top form, there is a good chance she could have won. If she had done that, the flow might have been different
Rather than going with a no-chance lineup against China from the start, it was the right decision to choose a lineup with even a slight possibility

We were able to witness a match against China that wasn't just about getting beaten like the last few Olympics

It was good to let Miwa experience the Olympics, considering the next one

Actually, it seems JTTA listed the names in the order stated in the selection criteria:

(1) Selection method for men's and women's singles representative players (maximum number of entries: 5 men and 5 women)
① Men's and women's Japanese representative players for the Paris 2024 Olympics (HAYATA, HIRANO, M. HARIMOTO)
② The highest ranked Japanese player in the singles world ranking for the week including 14 days before the final entry date for the Asian Championships (HAYATA AGAIN)
③ Winner of the Japanese representative selection tournament for the Asian Championships (hereinafter referred to as the selection tournament) (ODO)
④ If the players selected from ① to ③ above overlap and do not reach the maximum number of entries, the players will be selected in the following order.
a) The winner of the singles general division of the 2024 All Japan Table Tennis Championships
b) The top ranked Japanese players in the singles world ranking for the week including 14 days before the final entry date for the Asian Championships, excluding ② in (1) above (THERE IS AN OVERLAP as HAYATA is a member of the Paris Olympic Team, the Highest Ranked Japanese Player, and All Japan Champion, so ITO FALLS HERE. Ito qualified not under ② but under ④ b)

So, it really should be Hayata, Hirano, M. Harimoto, Odo, Ito in that order.

The same thing happened in how the Men's team was listed:
T. Harimoto, Togami, Shinozuka, Kenji Matsudaira, M. Yoshimura.
Likewise, M. Yoshimura qualified under ④ b) since there is an overlap with T. Harimoto being a member of the Paris Olympic Team, the Highest Ranked Japanese Player, and All Japan Champion

What we are concerned here is not merely the order in which they were listed, but the intention behind wording it that way. Why so convoluted? The selection criteria were first confirmed on 2024/1/15, exactly a week before Zennihon Takkyu 2024. At that point, Hayata was 1195 pts ahead of Ito, and Ito's odd of becoming the highest-ranked JNT player by the deadline was very low, but it didn't really matter as ② was redundant and ④ロ） would've sufficed. In the selection criteria for WTTC 2021 that was first confirmed on 2021/6/5, despite the potential of overlapping players for (3), it was worded without accounting for that situation.

It's really weird to see the participating players listed by WR but then the entries in a different order that plays down WR. With Odo taking on 4 events, 2 of which decided by Development Headquarters, it makes people wonder if there really is discord between JTTA and Ito, Ito and Hayata, as well as Harimoto1 and Hayata.

Harimoto vows transforming his playing style, stressing how it all comes down to attacking, while reflecting how he was pinned to the BH by FZD.

張本智和、２８年ロス五輪で「絶対メダル」　攻撃型へ変身「攻めてなんぼ『張本、攻めてる』という状況を増やす」
https://hochi.news/articles/20240827-OHT1T51155.html?page=1

　日本卓球協会は２７日、東京都内で関係者らを招いてパリ五輪の報告会を行った。男子団体４位、男子単８強のエース・張本智和（２１）＝智和企画＝は２８年ロサンゼルス、３２年ブリスベン五輪の２大会で「絶対にメダル」と目標を掲げた。実現のために、気付いたことをメモすることを始め、プレーも攻撃的なスタイルに進化する。出場３種目でメダルに届かなかったパリ大会の雪辱へ、３１日のＴリーグ初戦でリスタートを切る。

　雪辱へ向けた歩みはすでに始まっていた。３種目でメダルに届かなかったパリ大会から１３日に帰国し、１７日に練習を再開した張本智は「次の２大会で絶対にシングルスのメダルを取りたい。３０歳までの９年間が勝負」と覚悟を口にした。２８年ロサンゼルス、３２年ブリスベン五輪で、表彰台に上がることを自らに課した。

　行動を変えた。メモを取り課題を整理する。パリ五輪シングルス準々決勝後、「７―７の１球」と記した。金メダルの樊振東（はん・しんとう、中国）を３―２で追い詰めたが、３―３の最終ゲーム７―７からバック側を突かれ、７―１１で力尽きた。メモを取るタイプではなかったが、その日のうちにペンを走らせた。「ミスした球にフォーカスするのでなく、課題を整理した。（帰国後）メモを見ながら、課題が一つひとつできるようになっている」

　もう一つの進化はプレースタイルだ。頭から消えないのは、団体準決勝のスウェーデン戦。第５試合で２―０から逆転負けした。パリ前までは、成績の振れ幅をなくすために「安定感」を重点的に磨いてきたが、試合を決める術（すべ）の重要性を感じた。「守りはできる。やはり攻めてなんぼだった。失敗はいいので『張本、攻めてる』という状況を増やしていく」と攻撃的な卓球にシフトする。「この悪い記憶をいいもの、悪いものにするかは今後の自分次第」と言い切った。

　３１日に琉球の一員で臨む金沢とのＴリーグ初戦で再出発を切る。国際大会は９月のＷＴＴチャンピオンズ・マカオ大会から出場し、１０月のアジア選手権ではタイトルを目指す。「『張本は強い』と意識付けたい。この４年はスタイル、戦術を増やし、後悔なく努力したい」と張本。エースは真の強さを突き詰めていく。（宮下　京香）

張本智和「ピークの３０歳までに絶対にメダルを」　パリ五輪終え決意新た「次に向けて頑張る期間」

Hayata has achieved way more, it isn't just medal, but it is also image (something zeio and his pals are trying to destroy)

Ito is limited and zeio thinks all japanese people must retire when they are 24.
so anything in that line is just silly.

I don't just look at H2H with Chinese players, but as a whole.
Ito had early day glory, Hayata's time has really just started imo.

I had met both of them (including Hirano) 8 years ago, and I always thought Hirano would last longer, but Hayata was the more complete player as she grew taller. I have always my doubts on early success wonders, since it is just too rare - not even Chinese players can live up to it, and the only person ever was Deng Yaping, who retired at 24.... what is the odds, lol. Maybe zeio was calling for her retirement too

Sorry what?

Even disregarding win rate against CNT, which does mean a lot, Ito has a world cup medal, four olympic ones including gold, broke more records at youngest ages, and was ranked the highest in WR during her career than Hayata ever was or anyone else. Some of these things Hayata may never achieve in her life, and I'm sure all those equites a bronze medal at World Championships and silver at Asian Games. They have both won Nationals 3 times.

Also, looking at it less stastically, if you study the matches, you'll see that Hayata needed to beat one CNT player, which happened to be the weakest one that almost every japanese player has beaten (WYD) to get these two major achievements. As someone else as pointed out, Ito was just unluckly lots of times in the draw.

She has definitely not achieved more than Ito at the present moment however you look at it.

Hayata is in the same boat as CM when it comes to recognition.

CM: Back-to-back gold.
Hayata: This bronze is more valuable than gold.

As I noted, this Olympics are more difficult, but the general public never sees it that way. Their focus now is whether Hayata can at least equal Ito's results at Tokyo 2020 - gold in XD, bronze in WS and silver in WT. Hayata has already failed.

Hayata has not demonstrated the ability to get past multiple CNT players (let alone the top 3), which Hirano and Ito have, albeit in lower tiers of competitions. She needs to achieve something that is unique/exclusive to her. Getting past WYD ONLY, albeit twice, is sadly not enough as Mizutani and Harimoto pointed out. No matter how many silver or bronze medals she gets, if she doesn't get past one, two or all of the top 3 CNT players on her way, she will be labeled as the one who is always catching up, just like how TV Tokyo depicts her in the promos to this day.

--While Japan's good performance was noticeable, China's strength and tenacity in the "clutch" moments were astonishing. What is the difference between Japan and China that determined the outcome?

Murakami: The most important point is defensive strength. CNT players have the defensive strength to not let the ball slip past them even if under attack. And it is because of their defensive strength that they do not hit difficult balls in situations where the score is 9-9 or 10-10. Even if the opponent takes the initiative, they patiently return the ball. JNT players go for the win as soon as the opponent's return is even the slightest bit weak. That is the big difference.

...

--If you had to pick one player as the MVP of the team matches, which one would it be?

Murakami: It would be Hirano, who played the most matches in doubles and singles. She was really good in this tournament, and she played her role well according to the order. Hirano and Hayata are now 24 years old, but in today's sports world, with advances in scientific training and nutritional management, even in their late 20s, they will not fall from their physical peak. If we can just raise our motivation, I think we can still close the gap with China.

 

[zeio]

Hirano is still ranked first by Tieba users in WS. And when it comes to Olympics, Ito is untouchable.

She has definitely not achieved more than Ito at the present moment however you look at it.

Ito's best chance to medal at WTTC was in 2021 when she was the 3rd seed and WYD was 7th, but that match wasn't even close to competitive. That was right after her triple medal feat at the Olympics too and WYD was barely recognized as a core team member, making it to singles only because of the absence of LSW, ZYL, and DN.

Ito has also played a total of 5 individual WTTCs while Hayata managed to medal on her second try. The only time Ito really had a bad draw was in 2019 when she drew SYS in round 3 and WMY in the quarters, but she completely underestimated SYS and was outplayed on that occasion.
