I don’t usually watch table tennis games and I believe most of Japanese nether watched it. I think it is curious. Just one girl changes our lives so quickly. Thanks to her, I keep watching their games for some days and I haven’t thought that ping pong is a hard sport like this.
Players shout something that we can’t understand almost every time they scored. Sorry, not only players but audience!
Ai-chan’s is Ai Fukuhara.
How old was she? Maybe five years old. I remember she was a tiny girl and her racket was bigger than her face. She started crying whenever she was going to lose. (^^;) But now, she is selected for a national team. Time flies…
I heard the number of Japanese children who play table tennis is increasing because of her influence. Well, I think this is a good influence for kids and the world of table tennis!
