In fact, before the Tokyo Olympic cycle has fully ended, fans have seen the clues, that is, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin are the partner candidates specially used by the national table tennis team in the future Paris Olympic cycle in the mixed doubles field. That is to say, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha will replace Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin and stand in the mixed doubles arena of the Paris Olympic Games. Of course, there are many fans who support such an arrangement on the one hand, but also have a lot of unwillingness, their so-called unwillingness is more because of the special emphasis and recognition of Sun Yingsha's singles ability, and Sun Yingsha has indeed maintained a very strong performance in the process of playing against the main opponent Ito Mimachi, plus she has stood on the women's singles field at the Tokyo Olympic Games, so fans are more worried about what if she and Wang Chuqin will play mixed doubles at the Paris Olympic Games. Whether Sun Yingsha's singles qualification will be replaced by other teammates, which will undoubtedly feel a pity for fans who like Sun Yingsha.
However, according to the current competitive situation and the personnel growth law of the national table tennis women's team, at the Paris Olympic Games, the national table tennis gave a green light to players like Sun Yingsha, so that the possibility of letting her be a triathlon still exists. Why? First of all, because at the Tokyo Olympics, Ito had already made such an attempt, she played mixed doubles with Mizutani Hayabusa, played women's singles with Ishikawa Yoshijun, and then competed in the team competition with Ishikawa Yoshinori and Hirano Miyu. In the end, she won the Olympic championship in the mixed doubles competition, won Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen, who often could not win, and also won the bronze medal in the singles competition. In the team competition, it performed remarkablely, and there were also medals in the account.
It can be seen that a player participating in the three Olympic events does have a certain pressure, but it does not mean that he will not be able to achieve good results. Even from a certain point of view, if a player performs particularly well in the mixed doubles field in the front, it may create better psychological conditions for her to compete for better results and rankings in the later matches. National table tennis has not had such an arrangement, which does not mean that there will be no such arrangement in the future. After all, mixed doubles entering the Olympic arena is only the first time in the Tokyo Olympic cycle. For everyone, this is a process of moving forward in the process of exploration. Japanese women's table tennis has achieved good results by groping for the rules of this in the Tokyo Olympic Games and finding some solutions to problems. Then the national table tennis can also learn from some methods of Japanese women's table tennis. For example, by putting Sun Yingsha on the mixed doubles field, and then through her good results in this competition, it paved the way for her to have a better performance in the back singles or team competition.
In addition, we all know that Sun Yingsha herself is a player with a particularly prominent temperament. At the very least, even if they don't win the championship in the mixed doubles game in the front, they won't drop the chain in the singles and team matches in the back. The reason why the national table tennis coaching staff does not dare to let a player play three or two sports, most of the concerns come from doubts about the physical fitness of the players, as well as doubts about their playing temperament, or the ability to adjust their mentality. And Sun Yingsha is undoubtedly not a problem in these two aspects. The recent World Table Tennis Championships and World Cup competitions can be called back-to-back, the time between the two competitions is particularly short, Sun Yingsha has also shown a good competitive state in both competitions, twice into the final, once silver, once won the championship, it can be seen that she is one of the few players in the national table tennis team who can play a hard battle and can continue to fight a hard battle. Such abilities and qualities can also be achieved in the Olympic Games to perform all three events.
In short, we should believe that even if the National Table Tennis in the Paris Olympic cycle puts Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin in the mixed doubles event to take the lead, it does not mean that the singles qualification will be taken away by other players. In front of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, including Wang Yidi and Chen Xing and other teammates, Sun Yingsha's mental and physical advantages have always existed. As long as Sun Yingsha herself performs well and can persistently perform well, then her first three events at the Paris Olympic Games will also become a high probability event. I believe that the national table tennis coaching team dares to add such a burden to Sun Yingsha.
