Mima Ito, who won the women's singles at the international table tennis tournament held in Qatar for the second time in a row, returned to Japan and said, "I was very confident that I was able to win firmly before the Olympics." He showed his response toward the Tokyo Olympics.
Ito won both women's singles in two international competitions held in Doha, Qatar until the 13th, demonstrating his ability to rank second in the world.
Ito, who returned to Japan on the night of the 14th, responded online to the press, saying, "There were a lot of difficult matches in both tournaments, but even if I lost, I was able to take it to a development where I could grasp my own flow. It went up and I was able to play the game mentally calmly. Each game was very intense. "
In this tournament, the strong Chinese athletes competing for the gold medal at the Olympics did not participate, but Ito said, "I think that the Chinese athletes will be able to show amazing skills and tactics, and when they played before. I have a different self. I want to play against Chinese players sooner, but I am confident that the next match will be okay for the Olympics. "
The International Table Tennis Federation is planning to hold an international tournament in China in May, but Ito has not decided whether or not to participate.
For the future, Ito vowed to make a leap forward, saying, "I was very confident that I was able to win the two tournaments firmly before the Olympics.
