Wang Chuqin
After the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the replacement of the old and new national table tennis men's team quietly began, the World Table Tennis Championships sent a lineup dominated by young players, olympic champions Xu Xin and Ma Long did not qualify for the competition, although Ma Long and Xu Xin announced to the outside world that they were absent from the World Table Tennis Championships because the event was too concentrated and they needed to rest and adjust, in fact, the clear-eyed people could see that the coaching staff of the national table tennis men's team was preparing for the Paris Olympic Games. Tokyo Olympic cycle national table tennis men's team "five tigers" Ma Long, Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan performance is very different, veteran Ma Long and Xu Xin performance, and Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan performance is obviously not as expected, especially Lin Gaoyuan, who has been pinned high hopes on the past two years, the starlight has been dim, the National Games have actually been "ridiculed" by the provincial team teammates, which shows how poor Lin Gaoyuan's competitive state in recent years has been. Lin Gaoyuan's current situation in the national team is not exaggerated to describe it as "there are wolves before there are tigers". Ma Long and Xu Xin have not officially retired, and newcomer Wang Chuqin is "eyeing the tiger" for the main position of the national team, and he may replace Lin Gaoyuan at any time and become one of the "five tigers" of the national table tennis men's team.
Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin are one of the few left-handed players in the national table tennis men's team, and the comprehensive strength of the two is comparable at present, but from the perspective of their situation and the long-term development of the national team, Wang Chuqin's future in the national team is obviously brighter than That of Lin Gaoyuan. Since last year's defeat in the World Table Tennis Championships team competition, Lin Gaoyuan's state has not recovered to the best, although there have not been too many international competitions in the past two years, but in the limited domestic events, Lin Gaoyuan's performance is also difficult to satisfy, "one round tour", "two round tour" is more commonplace, in the National Games, Lin Gaoyuan's play is bad, the team competition performance is acceptable, he played badly in the singles competition, the men's singles competition was eliminated early, and the doubles performance was also "disliked" by his teammates. In the two challenge tournaments before the World Table Tennis Championships, Lin Gaoyuan actually lost to a very low-ranked foreign player, and his performance was shocking. At the World Table Tennis Championships, Lin Gaoyuan's performance was OK, stumbling into the quarterfinals and losing to Fan Zhendong, but in the World Cup finals, Lin Gaoyuan returned to the "origin" again, he lost to Hugo in the first round and was eliminated.
Wang Chuqin has made rapid progress in the past two years, although the technology is still very strong, but with the game style of daring to fight, Wang Chuqin has gradually been "valued" in the national team, he has also won the opportunity to participate in international competitions, although the performance has fluctuated greatly, but overall it is still quite outstanding, in the national games of the master Rulin, Wang Chuqin reached the men's singles final four, the performance is quite excellent, the World Table Tennis Championship Wang Chuqin lost to Fan Zhendong after scoring the men's singles round of 16, in addition to his partner Sun Yingsha won the championship in the mixed doubles competition. He has won the gold medal in the doubles event at the World Table Tennis Championships for two consecutive years, and is the only player among the male national table tennis players to do so. In the World Cup finals, Wang Chuqin broke through two levels in a row to reach the final four, he has kept a clean sheet Lin Yunru, Pitchford two world-class celebrities, the semi-final defeat to the final champion Fan Zhendong, the performance is very good. From the current trend point of view, in the Paris Olympic Games cycle, Wang Chuqin entered the main lineup of the national table tennis men's team, there is no suspense, if Ma Long and Xu Xin did not retire, Wang Chuqin may replace Lin Gaoyuan's position.
Although there are still two or three years before the Paris Olympic Games, it is still too early to talk about who will participate in the Paris Olympic Games, but in terms of all aspects of Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin, Wang Chuqin's probability of participating in the Paris Olympic Games is much greater than Lin Gaoyuan'. In fact, when the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Chuqin obtained the P card qualification, he is the key training object of the national team at a glance, from the current situation, Xu Xin faded out of the national team should be a sure thing, the doubles ability is very strong Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha in the mixed doubles event is very obvious, the two will be the Paris Olympic Mixed Doubles project to win the big hit, this will become Wang Chuqin's biggest capital to participate in the Paris Olympic Games, whether Ma Long retired or participated in the Paris Olympic Games, The possibility of Wang Chuqin participating in the Olympic Games is very large. On the other hand, Lin Gaoyuan, he has a bit of a "tasteless and tasteless abandonment" feeling in the national team, unless Lin Gaoyuan suddenly "metamorphoses" in the future, otherwise his possibility of participating in the Paris Olympic Games is close to zero, in addition to the strength has no advantage, Lin Gaoyuan, who is older than Fan Zhendong, does not have an age advantage, in this case, Lin Gaoyuan can not compete with Wang Chuqin at all.
