Everyone was convinced of her “ability to cope”… “Treasured images” of Yoshizumi Ishikawa, a “gold medal” winner in terms of likability.
《I was able to feel the unique Paris Olympics that took place amidst historical buildings and beautiful cityscapes!
Former women’s table tennis player Yoshizumi Ishikawa (31), who participated in the “Paris Olympics 2024” as an anchor, updated her SNS on August 12. She updated her offline photos and reflected on the 14 days. As a caster,
“When I won, I was as happy as if it was me, but unfortunately, when I lost, I was under a lot of pressure, and when I thought about how much effort the athletes had put in for this day and their frustration, it was hard to find the words.
He expressed his feelings, saying, “I am so happy to have won. The comment section was lined with words of praise, such as, “That was a really wonderful commentary,” and “I was moved by the way he was interviewed without being seen on camera.
Ishikawa has been popular for his fresh looks and personality since he was active, but he was also a very good newscaster. His consideration not to show too much of himself and his respect for the athletes were conveyed from the screen, and his words were simple and easy to understand. His words were simple and easy to understand, and his information and thoughts were delivered directly to the viewers. One TV station staff member even described it as “the best harvest of this tournament.
Looking back on Ishikawa’s table tennis career to date, she defeated a succession of working professionals to reach the top four at the 2007 All-Japan Championships, and then won the title of the best table tennis player since the genius of Ai Fukuhara. She was called the most prodigious table tennis prodigy since Ai Fukuhara, and was also referred to as “Ai-chan 2nd generation.

In 2012, after a match, Ishikawa rushed to a bookstore to buy manga books, and in 2011, after his retirement, he enjoyed fine Chinese food with male athletes, showing his various sides. Will she have more opportunities to appear on TV programs in the future?
Her charm is her fresh smile and honest, straightforward manner. That hasn’t changed a bit since she was a child. I think she will continue to receive offers from TV programs, but that doesn’t mean that she will be a celebrity in the near future. She will continue to play ping-pong as her core activity.
It seems a bit of a waste for Ishikawa, whose market value is currently exploding, but her fans will be very satisfied if she continues to show her fresh and lovely appearance from time to time.
