On the last competition day, the award ceremony for mixed doubles, men's singles, and women's singles was held.
In the mixed doubles final, Lin Shidong/Kui Man lost 2-3 to Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha and finished second. In fact, they have many chances to win this game. So they were a little unconvinced. Of course they can only blame themselves for not playing well.
When they got on the podium, they were obviously unhappy and a little disappointed. Especially Kuaiman, whose face was dark and his disappointment was palpable.
After Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha stepped onto the podium, their faces were expressionless, even a little reserved. The two of them defeated their teammates and won the championship, but they did not dare to express joy, let alone celebrate.
When the four of them took a group photo together, their faces were expressionless and too serious. Lin Shidong is a little more natural.
also encountered a similar situation during the women's singles awards ceremony.
In the past year, Chen Meng lost to Sun Yingsha many times, and he was depressed every time he lost. This time he lost to Sun Yingsha again, so Chen Meng was naturally unhappy. In particular, Chen Meng had nothing to do against Sun Yingsha, and the gap widened. Chen Meng was embarrassed and annoyed. Chen Meng was unhappy, and Shasha couldn't show her happiness. In fact, she wanted to take pictures with a smile, but she also wanted to take care of Chen Meng's emotions, so her facial expression was weird.
When Sun Yingsha received the award, Chen Meng stood in the audience with an expressionless face and dull eyes. He was probably still thinking about the final.
Chen Meng is not young anymore. If you don't adjust your condition, it will be difficult to achieve good results in the future. Dameng was also anxious.
In the final men's singles final, Wang Chuqin defeated Lin Shidong and won the championship. Lin Shidong once again finished second. When he won the mixed doubles runner-up, he was a little unhappy. However, Lin Shidong was quite happy to win the men's singles runner-up. When Lin Shidong took a photo with Wang Chuqin, he had a smile on his face, even a little secretly happy.
Wang Chuqin also showed a rare happy smile. If you win the championship, you should be happy.
