Recently, the official media Xinhua News Agency’s Sports Department selected China’s top ten athletes in 2023. However, the list immediately caused controversy as soon as it was announced. Many netizens questioned the selection criteria. Many well-known athletes, such as Sun Yingsha, Quan Hongchan and Zheng Qinwen were not included in this year's top ten athletes, and this year's most popular online athlete Wu Yanni was also not included in the list.
The specific list is as follows, chess Ding Liren, table tennis Wang Chuqin, Chinese women's basketball team, disabled track and field Wen Xiaoyan, breakdancing Liu Qingyi, tennis Zhang Zhizhen, swimming Zhang Yufei, swimming Qin Haiyang, mountaineering Dong Hongjuan, and track and field Xie Zhenye. Judging from the official comments given to each athlete, the Hangzhou Asian Games has become a very important selection indicator. Among them, Wang Chuqin, the Chinese Women's Basketball Team, Wen Xiaoyan, Liu Qingyi, Zhang Zhizhen, Zhang Yufei, Qin Haiyang, and Xie Zhenye all got it at the Asian Games. However, this indicator seems to be invalid for Quan Hongchan, because Quan Hongchan won two gold medals in the women's 10-meter platform at the Asian Games, but Quan Hongchan was not selected as the top ten athletes. According to the same standards, Wang Chuqin was elected into the top ten athletes directly by virtue of his 4 Asian Games crowns. If compared with the results throughout the year, Sun Yingsha is the best national table tennis player. However, Wang Chuqin defeated Sun Yingsha and was elected into the top ten athletes by virtue of his 4 Asian Games crowns. Such a comparison, Quan Hongchan should also be shortlisted.
In addition to the controversy caused by the failure of Quan Hongchan and Sun Yingsha, the collective selection of the Chinese women's basketball team also aroused doubts among some netizens, because the official announcement was of the top ten athletes, not the top ten teams, although the Chinese women's basketball team did achieve success this year Very good results, winning two consecutive championships in the Asian Cup and Asian Games. However, this time the selection is for the top ten athletes. It is not appropriate for the Chinese women's basketball team to be directly selected as a team. And if the Chinese women's basketball team can be selected, then other teams Can I also be selected? Many netizens believed that the selection criteria were not rigorous enough. It was clear that individuals were selected, but in the end, a team was selected as the top ten athletes.
In addition, there is another controversial point, that is, breakdancing athlete Liu Qingyi was selected, which directly caused dissatisfaction among many netizens. Some netizens even sarcastically said that if breakdancing can be selected, then Wu Yanni, the most popular athlete on the Internet this year, can also be selected. Judging from the official comments, Liu Qingyi mainly won the first gold medal in this event at the Asian Games and qualified for the Paris Olympics. He also won two points at Kitakyushu Station in Japan and Montpellier Station in France. The championship of station competition, but compared to Zhang Yufei, Qin Haiyang, Wang Chuqin, Zhang Zhizhen, Xie Zhenye and other famous players, Liu Qingyi has indeed received fewer honors, and when the world's top athletes such as Quan Hongchan and Sun Yingsha were not selected, Liu Qingyi was selected. Naturally, it will cause great controversy. This article is original by Xiao Lizi, please do not plagiarize or redistribute it.
