Entering 2022, the national table tennis ushered in a short holiday, and the main team members went to Macao after making slight adjustments to participate in the championship. The two fierce men's table tennis players, Xu Xin and Liang Jingkun, are in the list of participants, Xu Xin will not retire for the time being, and Liang Jingkun has gained more self-confidence through the World Table Tennis Championships. When it comes to goals, 25-year-old Liang Jingkun said that in the immediate future, we must strive to get the opportunity to play in the team competition of the World Table Tennis Championships, and then the Asian Games will also strive for the opportunity to play and qualify for singles, and the ultimate goal is the Paris Olympic Games.
Entering the Paris Olympic cycle, in order to train young players, the national table tennis team participated in the World Table Tennis Championships with a new lineup, excluding Ma Long, Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen. In this case, the national table tennis encountered many challenges, but in the end it won four championships, and the advantage is still relatively obvious. Liang Jingkun gained a lot in the World Table Tennis Championships, he won the third place in men's singles and the third place in men's doubles, especially in the men's singles field, Liang Jingkun performed well.
Looking back at the journey of the World Table Tennis Championships, those three 7-game battles made Liang Jingkun unforgettable, with opponents chasing after him, and also having his own big score lead equalized by his opponents, and there was a desperate reversal that was staged after 0-3. It was those three games that further improved Liang Jingkun's self-confidence, both at the technical and psychological levels. In Liang Jingkun's words, in the past, it may only use brute force, but now that we know that with ingenuity, people are not so frizzy.
In addition, through the World Table Tennis Championships, Liang Jingkun also found many deficiencies. Therefore, even during the isolation period, Liang Jingkun will also practice his physical fitness hard, and he must seize all the time to improve himself. Although Liang Jingkun is an age-appropriate player in the Paris Olympic cycle, in the face of the alternating environment between the old and the new, the team is also interested in cultivating Liang Jingkun, but the national table tennis talent is abundant, and in the end, it is still necessary to rely on the results, and the young players behind Liang Jingkun are also eager to try.
In the face of fierce competition, Liang Jingkun is sober-minded, and he has clear short-term goals and long-term goals, mainly three competitions. The first is the team World Table Tennis Championships, and Liang Jingkun hopes to get a chance to play. Secondly, the Asian Games, Liang Jingkun also has to strive for the opportunity to play, but also strive to get the men's singles qualification. Finally, there is the ultimate goal: the Paris Olympics, and Liang Jingkun hopes to gain the trust of the coaching staff and qualify for the Olympic Games.
Liang Jingkun's goal is clear, but it is not easy to achieve, Ma Long and Xu Xin still will not give up easily, Ma Long may also impact the Paris Olympic Games, and Xu Xin said that until he really can't win the young players, he will retire, but now he still has value and motivation. In addition, Fan Zhendong is a new generation of leading figures, Wang Chuqin's upward momentum is fierce, and Lin Gaoyuan and Zhou Qihao are also working hard to make progress. Can Liu Guoliang give Liang Jingkun more opportunities? The answer will ultimately depend on Liang Jingkun himself to reveal, only to continue to work hard!
