Road To Tokyo - Tomokazu Harimoto | From Young Talent to Leading Man

[@gustavosuenaga]

His 2018 Japan Open win was epic Beating Ma Long and Zhang Jike in the same tournament, just wow.

[@cheechinwong5585]

@@gustavosuenaga I watched how he beat ZJK in the 2018 Japan finals. But in 2019 in the same tournament he lost 4-0 to Sun! After that you can count easily how many finals he won!

[@АзатХалел]

Lin Un Ju тоже выйграл

[@moritz7363]

Even at 14-15, he said some really wise and inspiring things in his interviews

[@user_1abc]

Anybody can say wise things after memorising them as interviews could easily be scripted but to have a game like Harimoto even at age 20 is pretty impressive let alone beat players like Ma Long and Fan Zendong in your teens.

[@parkwoojin6566]

wish harimoto can receive his greatest return and gift at his age of 21 in Paris Olympic. He really deserves this.

[@infinitysagaart2867]

What an inspiring story from Harimoto Tomokazu! I wish he can win the gold medallist in Tokyo Olympics 2020 againts Ma Long or Fan Zhendong in the final.

Harimoto is wonderfull....table tennis is going into new territory

[@gustavosuenaga]

Amazing player and an extremely respectful person. Too bad some people take his shouting as a way to annoy the opponent.

[@DioBrandotw1]

I think his shoutings are a bit disrespectful, they are simply too much every time

[@chickenonabarrel]

@@DioBrandotw1 I think it's far from disrespect. It proves that he musters up all of his strength and will to go up against his opponent, which shows his deepest understanding that the opponent is not someone to be trifled with. It also indicates his appreciative attitude towards every single point he manages to gain, which helps him build up his own courage. I don't see him throwing a tantrum for any point he loses.

[@AJ-oi2dw]

I don't get why some think it's disrespectful. 😣 "Cho"-ing (Lol you know what I mean) is already part of the Table Tennis culture. Deal with it. I mean what's wrong with celebrating every point you win? And if you're his opponent, and you get distracted/annoyed by it? I think you're playing the wrong sport. Clearly his opponents don't mind because they're pro! Its just the fans who cry about it. I've been seeing a lot of hate towards this Kid for that reason. His shouting doesn't change the fact that he's soon gonna be the top player together with Lin Yun Ju. The Contrast is just funny to me because YunJu doesn't Cho at all. HAHAHA Both are good anyhow

[@arshiachidambaram7764]

@@DioBrandotw1 he clearly stated it helps him release stress

[@DioBrandotw1]

@@arshiachidambaram7764 I don’t care, you must have some respect for the other player.

May the olympics be the advent of a dominant Harimoto, and dazzle us more.

Darko Jorgic: How about no.

[@soumilmukherjee679]

I got goosebumps while watching this...

[@JustinajustinaJustina]

Harimoto just woooo,so incredible little boy .

[@Chartstoffarm900]

Wish him all the best. He deserves it definetely. One of the best at this time. Fair, full of respect. Hope he can reach a medal.

[@faker3033]

he is so young, he has the best conditions to dethrone Ma Long as the GOAT

[@jediv3381]

One of the best videos on Harimoto!

[@colahola]

He is definitely one bright, smart young man.

[@void0350]

Harimoto takes the ball so early and does so brilliantly.

[@user-of8mk2lr7j]

本当にかっこいい

[@LewT1]

Watched this after his Round of 16 loss.. such a shame. Harimoto for 2024 Olympic Gold!!

[@preetichaturvedi1]

It is really very heartening to see when in the interview Tomokazu said he hoped to reach the level of Ma Long and Fan Zhendong someday and later on went on to beat both of them.

[@denisliske8855]

The match of Harimoto and Mizutani in WTTC 2017 was not the Round of 16 match. It was actually the second round. How can WTT not give the right information in such a high quality video.

[@oliverchou2197]

Hate to admit that Harimoto is really threat to China right now in Olympic but we can't forget Silent Assassin(Lin Yu Ju) .

[@zydanammar1371]

It seems like he'll be the no. 1

[@farukhhasan11]

Hari is a great motivation for the young players. He needs to learn emotional intelligence a bit more to control his emotions and shot selection. I suppose his coach already tells this to him. Hari is a sensation to watch.

[@faker3033]

It is Harimotos Olympics, his home turf, hope he will preform

[@nhat-huyvo9528]

In reality, Harimoto was reincarnated in this world, but in his last life, he was a table tennis player from an other world. Luckily Harimoto did not lose his memory of his last life.😂

[@egae5328]

HE LOST AGAINST A LEGEND!

[@Nakaso2002]

金メダル。期待してるよ

[@bioinformaticsonline5988]

A long hiatus is good for the kid since he has stocked some new tricks under his sleeves and may catch Chinese players by surpise.

[@hamzamehboob9014]

He is the greatest threat to China's dominance in table tennis I think he can beat ma long to the the great player of all time

[@faker3033]

Yes, definitely, he has better conditions and shows more talent than even Ma Long at this stage in his career

[@LZcool]

Such a good player, just please get him a mouthstrap so he stops screaming EVERY SINGLE POINT.
