The national table tennis team is currently undergoing closed training to prepare for the 2022 Macau Championship. Previously, the Chinese team has announced the lineup in advance, and Ma Long, Chen Meng, Fan Zhendong, Wang Manyu and other Olympic champions and World Championship champions have led the competition. Liu Shiwen, who has been offseason for nearly 5 months, will also make her debut in Macau. Before going to Macau, Liu Shiwen rarely posted photos of herself playing when she was young on her personal social platform, and wrote, "Don't forget your original heart!" This move made netizens think about it.
Some fans believe that this indicates that Liu Shiwen will continue to participate in the Paris Olympic Games. Some people also said that Liu Shiwen may have been traumatized and hopes to be comforted on the Internet. Judging from the current competitive landscape of the national table tennis women's team, Liu Shiwen's situation is undoubtedly the most embarrassing one. After winning the women's singles championship at the 2019 World Championships, she became the team's well-deserved "big sister", but no one expected a sudden epidemic and injury to completely collapse the former world number one. Originally in the Tokyo Olympic Games, Liu Shiwen hoped to participate in the women's singles competition, and used an Olympic gold medal with the highest gold content to end her career.
But with the change of the objective environment, her dreams have all come to naught. In the face of the Paris Olympic Games, Liu Shiwen is actually worried in her heart, because her physical health is a time bomb. Rio Olympic women's singles champion Ding Ning, who also eventually lost to injury, regrettably missed the Tokyo Olympic Games. Liu Shiwen's current strength and state are difficult to compete with Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, and even Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong, who came later, can also shock Liu Shiwen out of a cold sweat. Missing a career Grand Slam, losing the Olympic mixed doubles first gold, and giving up a sister position, this series of encounters has hit Liu Shiwen hard.
As early as 2019, Liu Shiwen had a period of suffering. At that time, the national table tennis women's team was full of talents, in addition to the Olympic champion Ding Ning, there were also Mesozoic representatives Chen Meng, Zhu Yuling and young players Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, Liu Shiwen even fell into the embarrassing situation of not having a head coach. Fortunately, Coach Marlene extended an olive branch to Xiao Zao and helped Liu Shiwen win the Women's Singles Championship at the World Championships. The release of this release is both positive energy and thought-provoking social dynamics, and also makes many fans lament the various tribulations encountered by Liu Shiwen.
"Don't forget the original heart" is her true inner monologue, or forced by helplessness and unbearable psychological pressure, only to take this opportunity to vent, many fans are talking about it. The first race of the new season is about to be ushered in, and Liu Shiwen's performance has received widespread attention. If she can go low and high, or even win the championship, she may be able to occupy a place in the national table tennis women's singles competition; if she is in a downturn and out early, where her future will go will be the first question she needs to think about.
