Some comments by
Japanese folks on 5chan.
試合は負けたが、実況アナウンサーの語りがなかなか良かった。
絶叫もオーバーリアクションもなく淡々と喋っていた。
あと隣にキモイ褒め殺しの卓球評論家もいないから聞いてて気分良かった。
Despite the loss, the announcement of the live announcer was quite good.
There was neither screaming nor overreaction, and he was speaking idly.
I was happy to hear that there was no gross backhanded compliment table tennis critic next to me.
わざわざ日本人に勝つなよ、どうせ中国人に100%負けるんだから
しかも毎回毎回
Don't bother. Japanese can't win, because they lose to the Chinese 100% anyway
Every single time
石川佳純さん、引退してください!
いつも中国にボロ負けでは卓球が人気になどなりません。もう邪魔をしないでください
Ishikawa-san, please retire!
Table tennis does not become popular when it's always straight-game defeat to China. Please do not stay in the way
Unsurprisingly, a comment in response by a netizen with the handle "Kasumi fan 1":
ような話をするのは卓球界を冒涜することになる。石川が今日負けたからと言って引退すれば
他の選手は全て引退しなければならないことになる。石川の人気で日本の卓球が存在してることを忘れてはいけない。
A comment like this will blaspheme the table tennis world. If I tell Ishikawa to retire just because she loses today, then all other competitors will have to retire. Do not forget that Ishikawa's popularity is what supports Japanese table tennis.
用具を変える前も丁寧に4-0
用具変えて筋トレしても4-0
才能って辛いね
Before changing the setup, DN 4-0
Even if you change the setup and train muscle, still 4-0
Talent - it's so painful
毎回当然のように鄭怡静に勝つ伊藤みまってすごいんだなと改めて思いましたね
他の日本選手だと中国選手以外にすらまだ安定して勝てない
石川選手が昨年の香港選手に続き、今回は台湾選手にまで負けてしまったのは非常にショックです
石川選手の場合は打倒中国よりも前に、香港&台湾という大きな壁が待ち構えているようです。なんとかクリアしてほしいですね!!
I thought once again that it is amazing that Mima Ito beats CIC
Other Japanese players still can not consistently beat even non-Chinese players
It is a shock that Ishikawa was defeated by the Taiwanese player this time following the Hong Kong player of last year[Ishikawa suffered 1st round defeat at the hand of Lee Ho Ching, whom she had never lost to]
In the case of Ishikawa, before beating China, a big wall like Hong Kong & Taiwan seems to be waiting. I hope she can somehow clear that! !
