Following the conclusion of the tournament, Momota shared his thoughts on the experience on social media. He posted: “I have finished my commentary work for the World Championships. It was a truly valuable experience. Thank you very much to everyone. Watching the matches live gave me a great deal of inspiration.” He mentioned that the intensity of this year’s individual events rivaled that of team competitions, indicating that the competition at the 2025 World Championships will be even fiercer, with the skill gap between players narrowing further. This not only reflects the thrilling nature of the matches but also shows his deep immersion in the commentary process, allowing him to keenly feel the tense atmosphere of the arena. Having had a glorious career and also experienced setbacks like a car accident and injuries, Momota’s participation in the World Championships as a commentator likely included reflections on his own professional journey.
