Hina Hayata is in a state of unrivaled performance in international competitions with no Chinese rivals! Hina Hayata: The key to “Gold at the Paris Olympics” is “Pushing the Limits!

In the absence of Chinese rivals, the Warriors would be unbeatable.

At the WTT Star Contender Ljubljana (June 11-16), an international table tennis tournament held in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, Hina Hayata (23) won the women’s singles and mixed doubles to claim her second consecutive international crown.

Her opponent in the final was France’s rising star Pavard (19). It was a strong opponent who had defeated Mimasa Ito (23) and Miu Hirano (24), but Hayata won in straight sets, 4-0. Her accuracy on the third ball attack from the service was excellent, and even in rallies, she was not all attack, but used her block to invite self-destruction. Over the past year or two, her game-making while watching her opponent has improved, and she has grown in terms of her game management from the days when her strength was her strong hitting and rally battles. Even though he was not at his best, he was able to show his ability and control the match. It was a win with a comfortable margin.

In just over a month, Hayata will be on the stage at the Paris Olympics.

Hayata can score points with all kinds of patterns, including her service, forehand, and backhand. She will certainly have an advantage at the Olympics, where she will be competing against various types of players. She is aware of the gap in ability between her and the Chinese players, which is why she continues to compete while they are strategically missing tournaments to avoid having their data taken away. She is trying to push the limits by gaining experience and evolving until the very last minute of the competition.

This is the key to gold at the Paris Olympics.
