The time of the Group World Table Tennis Championships is confirmed! The list of 10 national table tennis attracted attention, and Liu Shiwen was afraid of losing the election. The International Table Tennis Federation has announced on its official website the timing of the 2022 Chengdu Team World Table Tennis Championships, which will be held in Chengdu from April 17 to 26, 2022, which will be the largest table tennis event of the year.
Judging from the announcement released by the International Table Tennis Federation, there are 40 men's and women's teams participating in this team World Table Tennis Championships, and each team can send 5 participants, which means that the national table tennis can send a total of 10 participants. In terms of the men's team, Fan Zhendong ranked first in the world, has locked a seat, Ma Long as a double circle Grand Slam winner, although he did not participate in the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, but the possibility of missing the team World Table Tennis Championships is unlikely, first of all, the performance of the national table tennis men's team in the Houston World Table Tennis Championships has been explained, for the time being, can not give up the veteran, there is also Ma Long also made it clear that he will not quit like this, so Malone should be able to get a seat. Another veteran Xu Xin is relatively hanging, because Xu Xin's state has shown a significant decline, if the coaching team also let him participate in the team World Table Tennis Championships, it will take a lot of risks, in addition, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin and other team members just need to accumulate experience in the competition, so it is difficult for the coaching team to let two veterans participate at the same time.
In terms of the women's team, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu will participate in the team world table tennis championships if there is no accident, and the remaining two places will most likely be won by Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong, which is the same as the list of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, when the national table tennis won the women's singles top 4, which shows that sending these 5 team members to participate will not take too much risk. As for whether veteran Liu Shiwen can participate in the team World Table Tennis Championships, it depends on the attitude of the coaching team, in contrast, the coaching team is more likely to choose young players to participate.
If the national table tennis held a selection competition, then Liu Shiwen needs to compete with Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and other team members, considering that Liu Shiwen's current state is indeed very general, it is difficult to occupy an advantage in the selection competition, so for Liu Shiwen, if you can not rely on the coaching team to guarantee, it is likely to lose the team World Table Tennis Championships list, it can be seen whether the veteran can participate, the coaching team will play an important role.
