If the Grand Slam is so easy to take, will the national table tennis make Lao Wa the first Grand Slam? Will it make the "two kings and one horse" entangled for a lifetime, and no one is a Grand Slam? The World Cup is suspended, and the grand slam in the traditional sense, only Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong have a chance to take it, and no one else has a chance. Chen Meng, originally she was the most likely to break Zhang Jike's fastest Grand Slam record and become the sixth grand slam in women's table tennis, but she lost to Wang Manyu in the women's singles semifinals of the World Table Tennis Championships, missed a good opportunity, and a defeat became a hatred for eternity, I believe her heart is very sad.
The men's team from Kong Linghui to Zhang Jike in the interval of 12 years, Zhang Jike, Ma Long, Li Xiaoxia, Ding Ning, the national table tennis has 4 consecutive Grand Slams, it is the four of them strong, plus just in the handover period, in the best time to complete the Grand Slam. Of course, there is also the meaning of deliberate achievement, and there is some controversy about the selection of men's and women's singles for the Rio Olympics.
Fan Zhendong was not selected, Zhang Jike did not participate in many competitions throughout the cycle, and there were many injuries during the competition. Li Xiaoxia also had the idea of retiring before the Olympics, and there were not many participants in the whole cycle. Even if Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong replaced Zhang Jike, and Liu Shiwen replaced Li Xiaoxia, the result may be the same. However, the participation of those who have not won the championship is more competitive.
After these 4 people, there are no Grand Slam players, does this matter? For the national table tennis, there are no loss of several championships, and the Grand Slam is just the icing on the cake. This also shows that table tennis is more and more valued, more and more people in the world love table tennis, and the increasingly high technical level is a growing threat to our table tennis players. Achieve greater results at a higher level of technology.
Competing for supremacy is not necessarily a bad thing, do not want to artificially decide the outcome of the game for one more Grand Slam, the championship is every athlete's dream, no one has the right to stifle their chances. They are all athletes, they have paid hardships, they have paid hard work, they have paid hard work. There are more and more high-level athletes, the level is getting closer and closer, what is not good, a single branch is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in the spring and the garden.
The three competitions to ensure the championship and defend the national honor are the ultimate goals of the national table tennis collective, and the Grand Slam is the personal goal, do not put the cart before the horse. Not deliberately pursuing a grand slam but holding a world championship shows that the overall strength of national table tennis is super strong, which is the real national table tennis.
