The national table tennis has begun its first training in 2022 in preparation for this month's WTT Macau Championship. Due to the fact that strong opponents such as Zhang Benzhihe and Ito Mimachi do not participate, this Macao Championship is more like an all-star game belonging to national table tennis, and the foreign combat pressure of the team members is not large. In the announced roster, Ma Long, Xu Xin, Chen Meng and other 7 Tokyo Olympians all competed.
Due to the need to alternate between the old and the new, Ma Long, Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen have consecutively missed the Houston World Table Tennis Championships and the Singapore World Cup. After more than 2 months of absence, the three veterans finally ushered in a comeback in this Macau Championship, which is also highly anticipated by fans. However, due to various reasons, they did not return to the national team as soon as possible.
According to the current news, Liu Shiwen was also in Guangzhou recently, participating in the filming of the promotional film and performing a battle performance with the table tennis tee machine.
When the ball speed of the tee machine is getting faster and faster, Liu Shiwen is also accelerating back to the ball, but in the end, she is a little overwhelmed, can't help but laugh, she also sighs that the intensity of the man-machine training is no less than the national team's swing training.
On January 6, Xu Xin finally had a move, he set off from Shanghai, arrived in Beijing in the evening, and Xu Xin, who wore glasses, looked handsome. Fans familiar with Xu Xin know that although he wears glasses every day, he is a short-sighted eye and is ridiculed as a "blind monk", in fact, Xu Xin wears contact lenses when playing games.
Xu Xin returned to Beijing this time and will participate in sponsor activities and appear in a live broadcast with goods. In fact, not only Xu Xin, but even the three famous coaches of national table tennis, Ma Lin, Wang Hao, and Chen Xuan, all have "extra tasks" outside of training, and they collectively participated in the recording of a Winter Olympic program, appeared in the snow field, and recorded programs with a group of entertainment stars.
From the uneven lineup of the national table tennis training, the coach went out to record the program, we can see that this winter training is not as closed and strict as the training of the World Table Tennis Championships, which also shows the importance of the Macao Championships.
According to previous news, the Macau Championship has no points, is not recognized as an official WTT competition, more like a commercial exhibition competition, so far, even the full list of participants has not been announced.
