Since entering Waseda University, Yui Odono and Yume Takahashi, winners of the women\u2019s doubles division of the 81st National Intercollegiate Table Tennis Championship (hereafter, the \u201cIntercollegiate Championship\u201d), and Yuya Oshima, winner of the men\u2019s singles division of the 11th National Student Invitational Table Tennis Championship (hereafter, the \u201cInvitational\u201d), have spent their days in single-minded pursuit of table tennis. Reflecting on the championship victories they have achieved, the trio says that despite feeling the pressure, they experienced few hardships. Odono told us, \u201cI first teamed up with Takahashi last year. After winning the Autumn Kanto Students League Tournament, we also won the Most Valuable Pair Award just before going to the Intercollegiate \"\"Championship, so we\u2019ve been able to enjoy playing each game without stressing out.\u201d Takahashi offered, \u201cI think we were able to clinch the finals because we had often fought close games before then and won our way through, so we were able to go to the finals with confidence.\u201d Oshima said, \u201cAt the Invitational, the top 16 Japanese athletes at the Intercollegiate Championship and skilled international students can participate. I wanted to pay back my coach from high school who came to cheer me on, so I\u2019m really glad I won.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"For all three, this year marks their last tournaments as students. In order to achieve their goals, cap their student careers with a crowning glory, and graduate without regrets, they vow to do their best at their respective championships.<\/p>\n
