16-year-old Japanese table tennis sister Miwa Zhangmoto

Zhang Benmeihe, who is in the prime of life, makes no secret of her thoughts after the women's singles seal of the World Table Tennis Championships. Although he won the silver medal in the team competition of the World Table Tennis Championships in February last year, he made his first appearance in the individual competition. In addition to the women's singles, she will also form the women's doubles and mixed doubles with Miyu Kihara and Teruku Matsushima, respectively. "I want to aim for gold medals in three events. Even if I want to get a medal, it's okay, but I still want a gold medal. I want to keep aiming high. Looking forward to the Japanese team's first time to win three crowns in a single World Table Tennis Championships, she poured her strength into words.

In the women's singles competition, Miwa Haramoto aims to help the Japanese team win the championship again after 56 years. Before clash with tough opponents China, Jang Ben-mi and his hypothetical opponent in the third round was North Korea's Kim Jin-young, a left-handed man who had a rare grain of high rubber on his back and released a unique spinning ball. In the women's singles final of the Asian Table Tennis Championships in October last year, Miwa Zhang lost 1-3. In this regard, she said: "I lost last time. We are also taking measures against grain height. The coach of the Japanese table tennis women's team, Rui Nakazawa, reformulated the tactics, and Miwa Zhang confidently said, "I am sure that (this time) I can win."

For the great cause of the "Triple Crown", Zhang Benmeihe has carried out intensive training from the basic aspect. Coupled with physical training for the lower body, a 3-kilometer run per day is essential. "If you don't have a steady foot, you can't move, and you can't be stable." At the WTT Challenger Tunis in April, Miwa Haramoto defeated teammate Hina Hayada 4-1 in the women's singles final, and defeated world No. 1 Satsuki Oto/Sakura Yokoi 3-1 in the women's doubles final against Miyu Kihara to win the double.

Miwa Haramoto's singles world ranking surpassed Hina Hayada in April and topped the Japanese women's table tennis team. She is now ranked No. 6 in the world after China, but she categorically says that "it's just numbers." Japanese media believe that this World Table Tennis Championships is a big step towards the gold medal of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, and the young master who has just entered the second year of high school will challenge the top of the world. "I think it's still the strong ones who can win the gold medal at the World Championships. ”
