In-form Harimoto ready to lead Japan in Asian Games women's table tennis

TOKYO - Maturing into her role as Japan's leading women's table tennis player, Miwa Harimoto is hoping to break China's dominance in four events at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

The 18-year-old became the first player to win four Japanese national titles in January when she added a maiden women's singles championship to her past triumphs in women's and mixed doubles, as well as junior singles.
