Original title: Mima Ito looks forward to the World Table Tennis Championships: I want to challenge all Chinese players and target women’s singles and women’s doubles to win
On November 5th, Beijing time, according to a report from Japan’s “Baozhi Sports“, Mima Ito is stepping up preparations for the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, which will open on the 23rd. She said in the interview:
“I want to challenge all Chinese players.”
As early as in the previous interview, Mima Ito did not shy away from her goal–
Hope to win the women’s singles and women’s doubles.
In this interview with “Baozhi Sports“, her goal remains unchanged: “I will keep the goal of winning the two events in mind, and do my best in a relaxed state to enjoy every game. “
After winning the mixed doubles gold medal, the women’s team silver medal and the women’s singles bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics, Ito only took a three-week break before setting his “new goal” at the World Championships and returning to preparations.
“After the Olympics, I took a rest for about 3 weeks and resumed training in early September. The first two weeks were difficult, but now I feel very good and fun.” When it comes to preparing for the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Ito is full of integrity. “I think I am stronger than at the Tokyo Olympics.”
In this World Table Tennis Championships, Mima Ito will participate in the women’s singles competition and will also partner with Hayata Hina in the women’s doubles.
Since the Olympics did not play women’s doubles, Ito was a little rusty with the women’s doubles:
“It’s been a long time since I practiced. I really look forward to it. I start over little by little. Even if I haven’t practiced for a long time, I can describe myself as’powerful’.”
Mima Ito’s iconic serve.Compared to the Olympic Games where only two people can participate in a country/region, there will be 5 places for the World Championships. At this World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese Women’s Table Tennis Team sent the Tokyo Olympic team gold medalists Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, and Wang Yidi. This is also the biggest opponent in the World Table Tennis Championships.
Facing a more difficult situation, Mima Ito said to “Baozhi Sports“: “I want to challenge all Chinese players. I face the game with this mood.”
At the 2019 Budapest World Table Tennis Championships, Ito, who was fighting on the third line, also made bold claims to win three golds. But the cruel reality is that Sun Yingsha, who is also a “post-00”, “double kills” in the women’s singles and women’s doubles events, and only won a silver medal in the women’s doubles event.
