On July 2, Beijing time, Japanese table tennis player Satsuki Oto said through social media that his formula photos on the official WTT website were too similar to potatoes, which aroused strong attention from netizens.
Regarding the formula photo published on the WTT official website, Satsuki Oto said: "This photo on WTT is so much like a potato, so I hope to take another one." You know, this is a photo taken five years ago. "As you can see from the photos, when the WTT formula photo was taken five years ago, Satsuki Oto had a short hairstyle, coupled with the fleshy face and the turquoise uniform of the Japanese table tennis team, which did look a bit like a potato. And five years have passed, although Oto Satsuki's face is still fleshy, but he has begun to grow long hair. A 20-year-old girl is the age of beauty, and it makes sense to ask for a re-shot when she sees an unsatisfactory photo.
Although WTT officials did not respond to Satsuki Oto's request to re-take formula photos, netizens were also calling on WTT to re-take formula photos for athletes every three years and change them on the official website, the following excerpts are some interesting comments translation: "I looked cute five years ago", "I have really changed my appearance in five years", "I look forward to the new formula photos", "For young players, it should indeed be updated more frequently, because their height and appearance are changing day by day." ”。
In recent times, Satsuki Oto has undoubtedly been one of the most active newcomers in all WTT tournaments, and the 20-year-old has been ranked in the top 30 in the world rankings with her WTT feeder women's singles title in Dusseldorf and WTT regular challenge women's singles runner-up in Tunisia. In addition, her women's doubles pair with Sakura Yokoi has won three WTT tournaments this season and has risen to No. 14 in the world rankings. Although the limelight is not as good as that of Miwa Zhangmoto, who was selected for the Japanese team's Olympic squad, Satsuki Oto will still be one of the opponents that the Chinese team cannot ignore in the next Olympic cycle.
