Rio Olympic bronze medalist Jun Mizutani knows what he must do in order to stand on the podium at the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time, and is poised to continue challenging China's dominance in the sport.

"I won't be able to win a medal if I don't beat Chinese players," Mizutani said Tuesday at Narita airport before departing for the May 29-June 5 event in Dusseldorf, Germany.

"I want to put everything I have out there."
