At the just-concluded World Youth Championship, China's players were not outstanding. On the contrary, because there are two talented girls in the Japanese team, the competition between Chinese and Japanese players becomes fierce. If the Japanese women's team still has a big advantage in adult events, and the winning rate can reach more than 80%, then the strength comparison of young players in the two countries may be 50-50.

So, who are the two talented girls of the Japanese team?

First, nature is very concerned about Zhang Benzhi and her sister Zhang Benzhi. In the U 15 competition of the World Youth Championship, Zhang Benzhimei, born at the age of 6 in 2008, swept all the gold medals she participated in, namely, women's team, women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. Although China didn't send any players to participate in the competition, Zhang Benzhimei, who is 13 years old, played with small players in many competitions, so her performance was not low.

We may not need to introduce more about Zhang Benzhimei's life, because her brother is the "famous" Zhang Benzhihe. What we should pay more attention to is Zhang Benzhimei's physical condition-although she is only 13 years old, Zhang Benzhimei's height has reached 1.6 meters, which makes her physically better than Ito Meicheng, the number one opponent of China women's table tennis at present.

At the same age, Zhang Benzhi Mei is also stronger than Ito Mei Cheng. 20 15 years, 7 years old, all-Japan women's team champion; In 20 18, at the age of 10, she was selected into the Japanese junior team with a proud record of 3 1 win 1 negative; In the same year, he won the China Youth Open Championship (10 won the U 13 championship); In 2020, 12 years old, U 18 champion of Czech Youth Tour.

With the World Youth Championship winning four gold medals, Zhang Benzhi's status as a talented girl has been settled. The Japanese media can't wait to compare her with Micheng Ito and come to the conclusion that she is more promising than Micheng Ito. Ito Mikei won the mixed doubles gold medal with Shuigu Junyi at the Tokyo Olympic Games, and Japanese media hoped that Zhang Zhimei would make a greater breakthrough in singles.

The second place is Miyo Muhara, who is already famous in the adult arena. In the U 19 World Youth Championship, Miyo Muhara won 1 Gold 3 silver. The only gold medal came from mixed doubles, but her performance in singles was also remarkable, and she will definitely be one of the important opponents of China women's team in the future.

In the women's singles semi-final, Miki Muhara beat Wu of China 4-3, and lost to another player from China 3-4 in the final, and finally won the runner-up. Judging from the progress of the competition, the strength of You Mei Muhara and Kuaimen is equal, and each game is very tangled, but You Mei Muhara's mentality is more anxious, which finally makes her hate.

Although the problem of psychological quality has yet to be solved, it is undeniable that her level has tended to the top. Similar to Miki Ito, she is good at attacking near Taiwan, and single-handed fighting skills can often tear apart the opponent's defense. Moreover, her doubles ability is also excellent. Born in 2004, she partnered with You Mei Nagasaki in the final of 20 19 ITTF Tour, defeating Sun Yingsha/Manyu Wang of China, the world table tennis champion.

From Fukuhara Ai, to Ishikawa Kasumi, to Hirano Miwoo, to Ito Meicheng, to Muhara Miyo, and then to Zhangben Zhimei, Japanese women's table tennis has never stopped, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger. This is a great pressure and motivation for China women's table tennis, and it is a great promotion for the development of table tennis.
