As the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang is leading the national table tennis team in Chengdu for a closed training camp. In order to help the players prepare better, Liu Guoliang used his personal connections to invite Zhang Yining and Deng Yaping. These two generations of big devils directly picked up the rackets and gave them to the main players of the national table tennis team. They serve as sparring partners.
Liu Guoliang helped the national table tennis team prepare for the competition in more than one or two aspects. He also specially shot a video to cheer for the national table tennis team. The main purpose was to warn the main players of the national table tennis team not to be complacent and to keep a low profile and attack the five gold medals in the Paris Olympics.
But Liu Guoliang never expected that his shooting would attract all the doubts. After the People's Daily and CCTV Sports reported it, a large number of comments about Liu Guoliang poured into the comment area. They were all doubts and questions, specifically dissatisfaction. The matter of the national table tennis singles list for the Paris Olympics.
Some netizens questioned: "Since I have been interviewed, let me respond to the questions about the women's singles quota by the way." "Please answer the question about why the Olympic list was submitted in advance. The Asian Games can respond to the list question, so why not respond to the Olympic list? What about doubts? ""Gold medals are reserved for those who perform best." But it seems that you don't select people for the Olympics according to this rule."
These comments often get thousands of likes, which means that many people are dissatisfied with the singles quota in the National Table Tennis Olympics. Arrangement, Liu Guoliang was under great pressure. From the moment the national table tennis Olympic singles list was announced, Wang Manyu's fans have been questioning the national table tennis coaching staff and the Table Tennis Association on the Internet, supporting Wang Manyu, who is ranked second in the world, as worthy of being in the Olympic singles, and dissatisfied with Chen Meng.
The ITTF once announced the singles list for the Paris Olympics. Among them, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu represented China. However, the ITTF also emphasized that the final team members are decided by each team, which means that the national table tennis coaching staff has the right to choose who they want to send. Athletes who compete.
It can be said that no matter how much Wang Manyu's fans make a fuss, the already announced Olympic singles list cannot be changed. If the Table Tennis Association and the National Table Tennis Coaching Staff are easily influenced by public opinion and cause the list to be changed, then there will be no credibility.
At the same time, the National Table Tennis Coaching Staff formulated new selection rules after the Busan World Table Tennis Championships. In the end, Chen Meng won and Wang Manyu lost a key foreign battle. This means that Liu Guoliang and the National Table Tennis Coaching Staff were disciplined when selecting people. of.
For Wang Manyu, her personal singles strength is undoubtedly second only to Sun Yingsha. From the comprehensive performance of the Macau World Cup and Chongqing Championship, it can be seen that Wang Manyu is the only active women's singles player in the world table tennis who has the strength to compete head-on with Sun Yingsha. However, the national table tennis coaching staff not only considers individual singles strength when assessing Olympic singles, but competitive sports have always been full of regrets. In the past, Liu Shiwen did not get a single Olympic singles opportunity in her career, and Li Xiaoxia was almost retired in 2016 and was called back to play in the Olympics. In singles, she retired immediately after the Olympics. Sometimes all athletes can do is to be themselves, and things at the decision-making level cannot and cannot interfere.
