Then I believe that fans who are familiar with national table tennis know that in the past 2021, when Chinese table tennis was delivered to our fans, a very satisfactory answer was delivered. In the Tokyo Olympic Games, the national table tennis team won 4 gold medals, and in the recent World Table Tennis Championships and World Cup finals, the performance of the Chinese team was also the most eye-catching. It can be said that in the whole year of last year, the Chinese table tennis team is still proud of the crowd, and it is still the most prominent and dominant team on the international table tennis stage.
Then it can be said that in various competitions, our Chinese team has conquered domestic fans, and it is also to make the opponents in international competitions feel frightened. But such a situation is actually a big two-sidedness for our national table tennis, because we also know that as a national table tennis, if we have maintained a long-term dominance, if we do not give the opponent any chance, then this project will become the only one of our Chinese teams, which will lead to other teams slowly losing their desire to compete for table tennis, which will lead to a continuous decline in the level of international table tennis, and even lead to the table tennis project slowly fading out of the stage of world-class competitions. Slowly, there will be no opponents willing to compete with your Chinese team and fight against each other. So in the last cycle, we saw that Liu Guoliang, the chairman of the national table tennis, did a lot of work on such a problem. Including at the Tokyo Olympics, our Chinese team lost the mixed doubles gold medal was a big controversy, and many fans at that time said that Liu Guoliang deliberately let go of some opportunities for opponents. Including later on the stage of the World Table Tennis Championships, we saw that Liu Guoliang was still in the mixed doubles project, gave up a strong combination of the team, and split Wang Maggie and Lin Gaoyuan and the American team to form a team, these are our national table tennis to help the world improve the level of table tennis. Then in a short period of time, it may be difficult for fans to understand Liu Guoliang's behavior, but from a long-term point of view, Liu Guoliang's plan similar to raising wolves is a direction that national table tennis should go. Because on the whole, only when the international table tennis level continues to improve, the pressure and motivation of the Chinese team will be more sufficient, then it can better enhance the overall influence of table tennis in the world, and everyone can pay more attention to national table tennis, so this is not wrong.
Recently, there was another very good news about Liu Guoliang's plan to raise wolves. Then just yesterday the U.S. Table Tennis Association announced a major decision, according to the latest news, the U.S. Table Tennis Association has decided to hire Chinese athlete Gao Jun as the head coach of the U.S. national table tennis team, and he will work hard for the progress of U.S. table tennis in the future. Then as a Chinese athlete, to be recognized by the American Table Tennis Association, we really have to praise Coach Gao Jun. Then maybe some old fans are more familiar with Coach Gao Jun, in the previous player era, Coach Gao Jun was also the main force of our national team, and he also represented the national table tennis team, and each stage got very good results. After that, Coach Gao Jun transferred to the United States and became a professional player of the American team. Then after retiring, naturally Gao Jun came to the level of the coaching staff of the American team, in the world table tennis championships not long ago, Gao Jun coach led the combination of Lin Gaoyuan and Zhang An, and also won the bronze medal of mixed doubles, it can be said that the personal coaching experience and career resume are quite rich, and his vocational education can make the American table tennis rise to a certain extent.
The fact that Gao Jun can become the coach of the U.S. table tennis team has indeed further improved Liu Guoliang's plan to raise wolves in the world, so that the U.S. team can improve its competitiveness. So first of all, this has a good impact on our national table tennis to achieve their goals, of course, as a strength player, we will not be afraid of the challenge of the American team, but when the rise of American table tennis, in fact, for these players in Japan and South Korea is a big impact, especially we see gao jun coach he is very good at coaching in the mixed doubles event, then this will give a big blow to Japanese table tennis, we all know that in the Tokyo Olympic Games not long ago, Ito and Hayabusa Mizutani were the mixed doubles champions who defeated our Xinwen combination. So. In the future, they will definitely develop in the mixed doubles event, especially the core of Japanese table tennis, Ito Mimako, in this World Table Tennis Championships, although he did not participate in the mixed doubles competition, but when her singles is hindered, he may also move to the process of mixed doubles preparation, then at this time the American team may bring her a fatal blow. Therefore, such a decision by the American team will directly exacerbate the overall competitive relationship between the international teams, and also make our national table tennis a big winner behind the scenes, so that table tennis will receive more attention, which is also the thing that Liu Guoliang is most looking forward to.
