Reina Sumi Serialization: “Talk Garden” 9th

Guest: Jun Mizutani (Professional table tennis player)

A serialization project by free announcer Reina Sumi, whose serialization began last year. The 9th event welcomed Jun Mizutani (Kinoshita Meister Tokyo), the Japanese national table tennis team who will participate in the Tokyo Olympics.

Mr. Washimi, who served as a reporter for world table tennis and T-League during the TV Tokyo era, has interviewed Mizutani many times. At the reunion after a long time, the conversation started while exchanging words with a smile on each other. While looking back on the year after the postponement of the Olympics, we talked about the same Japanese national team members Tomokazu Harimoto and Koki Niwa.
