"Surprise selection" is "Surprise Selection" in the world table tennis national team "Surprise Selection", a 15 -year -old beautiful girl, Nagasaki World Table Tennis.Who is a 15 -year -old beautiful girl, Miyu Nagasaki?

　At a conference after public practice held at the National Training Center (NTC) in Akabane, Tokyo on the 20th of this month, Nagasaki said, "I wanted to come out, but the world rank was low, so I think it would be selected.There was no. I want to excite the team and make it a little brighter. "The world ranking was 128th as of March this year, when the selection was made.It is 20th for Japanese girls with thick layers.

　Kazumi Ishikawa (25 years old, all agriculture), the world ranking of the world ranking, who is in the position to lead the women's table tennis world, Mika Ito (Starts), the world's 5th place called the Golden Generation, and Miu Hirano (Elite Academy (Elite Academy)), Following the 12th place Haya Hayata (Nippon Life) 17 -year -old trio, why was the unnamed girl was selected as the fifth place to push the senior players in the top ranking?

While the Tokyo Olympics fighting with “overthrow China” two years later, I would like to report on the background of the newly spinning Cinderella story.

Dreams held by "Team Miyu"

　There is a signboard of Kishida Club in a residential area for about 5 minutes from Odakyu Line / Shonandai Station in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture.Akira Kishida, who was teaching table tennis clubs while working as a mathematics teacher in a local junior high school, was a table tennis club about 30 years ago.

　The name of the Kishida Club has become known for the town Asuka (Machi / Asuka), who has been going to Meiji University from Aomori Yamada and is currently playing Citizen.In January 2015, the All -Japan Championships Men's Singles, and in the spotlight, he polished his skills at the Kishida Club since childhood and won the All Japan Hopes (6th grade or less).

"When a player like a town grows up, we can accumulate various know -how. We are still focusing on the guidance of about 30 children, but our clubs come to enjoy table tennis.There are also people. Miyu's grandmother was one of them. I always said, "I want my grandchildren to do table tennis."Kishida says.

　In any field, the first step in which talent is engraved surprise the surroundings.

"I knew that the motor nerves were good just by looking at a little bit of work. My body was big, and my body was like a rubber ball."

　Looking back on Hitomi Muramura, a coach at Kishida Club.

"I thought I was a child who could be the best in any sport. It may be laughed, but if this child grows well, he will be a player who can fight equally with the top Chinese players.I guess. I imagined it until such a future. "

　Muramori humbles himself as "just an aunt", but if you're an enthusiastic table tennis fan, some people will be in the name.It is well known that Jun Mizutani and Seiya Kishikawa, who became the savior of the Japanese men's table tennis world, left Japan in Germany in junior high school, but in Germany at the same time.He is the mother of Morimi Muramura who served as a sleeping and eating.Muramori set up with Kishikawa and left a track record of winning a gold medal at the 2003 World Junior Championship.

"I also knew the rigor of table tennis through my sons, but even if I knew the rigor, Miyu had the potential to have a dream. I and Kishida, I usually work together.For members who love table tennis, her existence has become a great hope. Everyone has begun to pour the various things cultivated in their own experience for Miyu.It's "Team Miyu" "

　The girl who was originally right, imitated his favorite grandmother and held his racket with his left hand.When she starts hitting her ball, she gains the necessary techniques with the sense of different expectations.

"I was a child who loved winning the game. Basic practice was not very enthusiastic, and when it comes to practicing in a real battle style, Kishida looked back, but it is noteworthy that the team is.It is that Miyu has always been aware of the ball rotation of the girl who has just started table tennis.

Drive a rotary amount that is second to lose to Chinese players

　When asked the top Japanese players fighting on the international stage about the impression of Chinese players, most players, both men and women, answered that the ball rotation is amazing."So you can't control the ball where you aimed."

　Kishida and Muramori tried to raise a girl with extremely high physical abilities in front of me into a player who could dispel the complex of these Chinese players."If you practice with rotation from an early age, you can be a user of a drive that is better than the top Chinese players. I had the expectation that I could be a type of player who was not in the Japanese table tennis world."Says Kishida.

　The right -handed Southpaw also clarified the blue photo.Muramori recalls, "Because the body is right -handed, the backhand drive was good from the beginning."

　Muramori's clearly memorized the first time Nagasaki was in the first grade of elementary school to let the All -Japan Championships in the Kanagawa Prefecture qualifier, Shizuoka Table Tennis Sports Boy Scouts Opened Bambi.It is the quarterfinal of the section (2 years or less in elementary school).

　I couldn't play as I wanted, and Nagasaki was obviously frustrated.

"What do you want to do with Miyu?"

　When Muramori asked Nagasaki who returned to the bench at a timeout, a girl, who was just 7 years old, said, "I want to make a plunge."She may have had a lack of actual fighting experience, probably because she was unknowingly reluctant because she loses.

"Okay. You can do what Miyu wants to do. Don't worry about the result, just hit it."

　Muramori, who pushed his small back after saying so, would burn the scene unfolded in front of him to his eyelids.

　The height of the table tennis table used in the Bambi section is 66 cm, 10 cm lower than the normal table.Nevertheless, in the case of a girl in the lower grades of elementary school, a hit ball full -swinging as much as possible, often exceeds the net and exceeds the opponent's platform.However, the ball that Nagasaki shakes off with a full swing, drives in a tremendous amount of rotation, and almost all of them portrayed a beautiful arc and bounced on the opponent's coat.

"I was surprised at the power of Miyu's drive again. It was the moment I saw her switch on for the first time," says Muramori.

　The tournament was lost in the finals, and the All -Japan Championship Kanagawa Preliminary Round could not win until the end, but in the next year, Nagasaki will accelerate its growth speed.

　When he was a second -year student, he broke through the prefectural qualifying in the Bambi section, and in the national tournament he won the driving and serve of both hands as a weapon and won the best title in Japan.A year ago, when an unnamed girl, who had disappeared at the qualifying round of the prefecture, won, Muramori and Kishida were told by a table tennis person in other prefectures.

"Do you have a Chinese coach in Kishida Club?"

　The two returned, saying, "No, we are just a gathering of uncles and aunts."Nagasaki continued to grow steadily, and in the fourth grade, he won the turnip part (4th grade or less).

　Kishida was confident in their views when he held a camp in the club this year.

　Currently, Kishida's daughter, Satoko, who was the director of Nippon Life, was studying at Beijing, and the top -class children in China also participated.Older Chinese players had a lot of competition, but local Chinese coaches listened to Kishida while sending their gaze to Nagasaki's back.

"She will be the strongest among the children here now."

Nagasaki PHOTO by AFLO SPORT, who won the Hopes and won all the categories by age

　I don't know where the Chinese leaders have found the possibility, but Southpaw, whose height exceeds 160 cm in sixth graders, is also the top of the All Japan Hope (6th grade elementary school) following Bambi and turnip.I stood.It is the achievement since Ai Fukuhara that has won the third class of Bambi Cub Hopes in categories by age.A genius girl in Kanagawa, who won the East Asian Hopes in South Korea in August 2014, went to the JOC Elite Academy in Tokyo after graduating from elementary school.

"If I hadn't won the East Asian Hopes, I don't think I had been in the elite academy. Because of the environment where I jumped over high hurdles, we entrusted the dream of the" overturn China "we entrusted to Miyu.I thought it could be realized. The role of the ordinary aunts is over. From now on, Muramori recalls the growing Miyu from afar.。

　However, there were a variety of songs before leaving home and jumping into a new environment standing in the sun.

"If this is the case, Miyu -chan may be useless."

　Satoko Kishida, who saw Nagasaki's practice at NTC in Tokyo, arrived at the club when it was about a year since the girl who had the expectations of everyone came to Tokyo alone.
