Although European table tennis has shown signs of rising in recent years, when it comes to the biggest competitors for the national team, it is still the Japanese team. Japan has the potential to challenge the national team for Olympic gold medals in all three events: singles, mixed doubles, and team competitions. For example, the Japanese team successfully blocked the national team at the Tokyo Olympics, winning their first-ever mixed doubles gold medal in history. However, they are now focusing on the team event for future Olympic victories. On one hand, the individual abilities of the Japanese team are still unable to surpass the top three players of the national team, and team events have greater uncertainty. On the other hand, the national team's echelon construction is currently experiencing some issues, and many media predict that the stage most likely to expose problems will be the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. As expected, the Japanese Table Tennis Association has begun making significant changes for the Los Angeles Olympics. They recently announced two new head coaches for the men's and women's teams at a press conference, including a former Chinese player who renounced his Chinese nationality and naturalized in Japan. According to Japanese media reports on January 20th, the Japanese Table Tennis Association announced the new head coaches for the men's and women's national teams at a press conference held in Tokyo on the 19th. The head coach of the women's team is Wang Rui, a former Hebei player from China, who has now changed her name to "Nakazawa Taku." The head…

On January 18th, it now appears that the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics in the United States is the only chance for Sun Yingsha, the world's number one and fan favorite, to win the Olympic singles championship. However, this is also the last chance for Wang Manyu, a formidable player on the national table tennis team! It's a pity that Sun Yingsha didn't seize the opportunity at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Chen Meng took away two women's singles gold medals! The most pitiful is Wang Manyu, who did not have the qualification to participate in the women's singles in two Olympics! Their only opponent is Zhang Benmeihe, the Japanese number one and a 16-year-old genius beauty! When two tigers fight, one must be injured! Fans can only sigh: Both are too tragic! Kuaiman and others only have the opportunity to compete for the women's team gold medal and mixed doubles gold medal qualifications. Wang Hao doesn't have an Olympic gold medal, but isn't he also a gold medal coach? Don't focus so much on Olympic gold medals! Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu both have World Championship women's singles gold medals, but they are not as important as the Olympics. The current sports circle in China only recognizes Olympic singles gold medals! In the 2028 American Olympics, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are unknowns, and in four years, a group of young players will quickly grow up. Nonsense, Chen Meng has already been crowned in Tokyo, and in the 2024 Paris Olympics, she is the one…

In the world of table tennis today, Zhang Benmei is undoubtedly one of the most promising new stars. At just 16 years old, she has already made a name for herself on the international stage, with her outstanding skills and remarkable mental fortitude earning her recognition as one of the strongest opponents to the national table tennis team in the next decade. Recently, news emerged that surprised many - her father, Zhang Benyu, turned down an invitation from the Japanese national table tennis team. What considerations lie behind this decision? Let's analyze it from the perspective of the father, the athlete's growth path, and the harsh realities of competitive sports. Abandoning Mixed Doubles in Favor of Focusing on Singles: A Wise Move The Japanese national table tennis team hoped that Zhang Benmei would take on the mixed doubles task during the upcoming Los Angeles Olympic cycle, aiming to replicate the achievements of Tokyo Olympics mixed doubles champion Ito Mima. In theory, mixed doubles is a project with relatively less competitive pressure at the Olympics, offering a higher chance of winning a championship than singles. However, Zhang Benyu resolutely rejected this proposal. This choice may seem risky, but upon closer analysis, it is actually paving the way for his daughter's future development. Zhang Benyu's reasoning is very clear: The mixed doubles task would divert Zhang Benmei's energy, and at only 16 years old, she is at a critical stage where her technical style and psychological quality are improving comprehensively. If she were to hastily take on three events, needing to balance…

China's national table tennis team is currently participating in the Mascot Star Challenge. The pressure on the Chinese team at this Mascot Star Challenge is significant, as they did not sweep all titles at the previous Doha Star Challenge. It will be challenging for them to achieve a clean sweep at this event, with the Japanese team being their main competitors. In recent years, Japan has taken the lead in cultivating young athletes and has produced many outstanding players. Among these, one individual stands out: the 16-year-old prodigy Zhang Benmei. Zhang Benmei has shown remarkable growth and maturity beyond her years on the court. Despite posing a significant threat to the Chinese team, Zhang Benmei also faces several issues. In the women's doubles final of the previous Doha Challenge, she suffered a crushing 0:3 defeat at the hands of her teammate Da藤沙月. This was not the first time Zhang Benmei had experienced such a defeat; she also lost 0:11 in the Asian Table Tennis Championship final. No one expected Zhang Benmei to be suppressed by her own teammate, Da藤沙月. Now, Da藤沙月 has become Zhang Benmei's new nemesis. Not only did Zhang Benmei lose 0:11, but the final score was also 0:3, leaving many fans speechless. With defeats of 0:11 and 0:3, netizens are questioning how Zhang Benmei can become the top player in the future. Some netizens believe that given Zhang Benmei's current situation, it will be difficult for her to become the top player if she cannot showcase her best form. However, Zhang Benmei's abilities are still strong, and…

This time, Team China did not send their main players, with Xiang Peng and Huang Youzheng achieving the best result of reaching the round of 16. Groth played well, maintaining a good rhythm and balance on both sides. He reached his first-ever Star Challenge final after defeating Japanese rising star Daiki Oshima in the semifinals. Harimoto was in top form, advancing strongly throughout the tournament and sweeping Aruna in the semifinals. The match started with a tight 3-3 scoreline, with both players focusing on the first three shots and rarely going beyond that. Midway through the game, Groth led 6-4 but suffered from receiving errors and mistakes, allowing Harimoto to catch up at 6-6. The score remained close until the end, when Harimoto took control and…

The WTT Doha Star Challenge is in full swing! In a key match-up, the second seed of this competition, Japanese youngster Zhang Benmeihe, faced off against Thai player Orawan Palanang. After five rounds of fierce competition, Zhang Benmeihe was surprisingly defeated by her opponent with a score of 2-3, ending her run in the second round of the tournament. Zhang Benmeihe is only 17 years old. Despite her young age, she possesses remarkable skills. According to the latest world rankings, Zhang Benmeihe has reached sixth place. Orawan Palanang, now 25 years old, currently ranks 47th in the world. Her achievements are not particularly outstanding. Prior to the match, the media generally favored Zhang Benmeihe to win the game. However, the outcome was unexpected. In the first game, both players quickly entered the state. They engaged in intense exchanges. However, Zhang Benmeihe seized the opportunity and took control in the latter half of the match. With a score of 11-7, Zhang Benmeihe took the lead.

On January 11, 2025, the Doha Star Table Tennis Tournament will conclude with its final day of competition. The Chinese national team has already secured the men's doubles championship and continues to compete for titles in women's singles and mixed doubles, facing off against Japanese opponents, including a decisive mixed doubles match against Koki Niwa/Mima Ito. Following the conclusion of the previous main event day, the top four singles players were determined. In women's singles, China still has two contenders: Kuai Man and Chen Yi. However, Zhou Qihao withdrew from the tournament due to injury, and other players such as Huang Youzheng, Xiang Peng, Xu Yingbin, Chen Yuanyu, Qian Tianyi, Zong Geman, He Zhuojia, and Shi Xunyao have been eliminated. Among them, the men's singles team has been completely defeated, with their best result being the round of 16. On the Japanese side, Tomokazu Harimoto, Daiki Yoshimoto, Miyuu Kihara, and Miyu Nagasaki have advanced.

In men's doubles, Xiang Peng/Xu Yingbin won 3-2 against Tomokazu Harimoto/Koki Niwa, while in women's doubles, He Zhuojia/Zong Geman lost 0-3 to Saki Shibata/Sakura Yokoi. The men's doubles championship by Xiang Peng/Xu Yingbin holds special significance as it is the first ranking tournament championship for the Chinese team this year. Although their individual performances were average, the experience of losing is certainly worth summarizing, and it is believed that they can do better in the future. Despite the absence of key players, the Chinese team has performed commendably against many…

The results of the second day of the Doha Star Challenge main event were truly unexpected! The Japanese women's team, originally full of confidence and hoping to make a big splash in their first major competition of the new year, suffered a devastating blow that left many feeling compelled to reflect. The Japanese team took this competition very seriously, sending five players to participate in this station's event. Among them, four were top eight seeds, with three being top three seeds. These five players are the number one seed of this competition, Hina Hayata, the second seed, Miyuu Kato, the third seed, Sarina Tokimoto, and the sixth seed, Miu Hirano. These four are the absolute mainstays of the Japanese team, along with Sakura Yokoi, who competed with Mima Ito for the fifth main position. With this super-luxurious lineup, the momentum was truly aggressive, as if the women's singles championship was already in the bag. They were clearly aiming to compete with the national table tennis team, wanting to prove their strength on the international stage, and even coveting the position of becoming the leading force in the world of women's table tennis. However, on our side of the national table tennis team, the strategy was much more sophisticated. We did not choose to confront the Japanese team head-on but instead focused on training our players. We only sent out the lineup of Ge Man, Xunyao Shi, Tianyi Qian, Zhuojia He, and Kuaiman Kuai. Among these, only Tianyi Qian can be basically confirmed as one of China's top five main players,…
