Mima Ito.
Entering 2022, Mima Ito’s state has fallen into a trough.
On April 10th, on the last day of the Japan Table Tennis Asian Games Trials, Ito Mima lost 2-4 to 17-year-old Miyu Kihara in the top match of the group stage and lost the chance to compete for the second Asian Games singles spot. .
In addition, because in the last Asian Games trials, Ito Mima lost to 19-year-old Nagasaki Miyu in the quarter-finals, so it can be said that——If there is no miracle or replacement, Ito Mima will miss the Hangzhou Asian Games singles arena.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Mima Ito entered a bottleneck period. In the WTT Singapore Grand Slam, Mima Ito met the French-Chinese veteran Yuan Jianan in the second round and ended up being upset 1-3.
After the game, Mima Ito cried and said:“Before the game, I felt like I couldn’t use my strength. I didn’t know how to score. My feet couldn’t do anything, and my brain couldn’t think.
Previously, Mima Ito had said that he would focus more on women’s singles and women’s doubles and would no longer participate in mixed doubles competitions.
“If I participate in the competition, my goal is to win the Olympic gold medal and beat the Chinese players. At the Tokyo Olympics, because I was partnered with Mizutani Hayabusa, I can win the Olympic gold medal. I can confidently say that I have won the Chinese players. There will be no more mixed doubles matches.”
“I haven’t beaten Chinese players many times in women’s singles and women’s doubles, so I want to continue, I don’t think it can end in failure.”
But at present, Ito Mima has a high probability of only participating in the women’s doubles competition in the Asian Games.
