Beijing time on January 15, the national table tennis players are still preparing in Beijing, WTT Macau China Star tournament will be opened on January 19, yesterday, WTT official website also announced the national table tennis participation list, of which the men's singles has 14 people to participate, women's singles have 13 people to participate, mixed doubles have 15 teams to participate, is simply comparable to the National Games. There are no points this season, but the total prize money is as high as 12.7 million yuan, which is of course the best for our national table tennis players to get a prize money before the Spring Festival.
Wang Manyu also went to Beijing with her head coach Xiao Zhan early, last year she ushered in a big harvest, but all this has passed, Wang Manyu wants to continue to work hard this year, you must train hard, and strive to usher in the opening of 2022. At 8:45 a.m. this morning, the official website of the Heilongjiang Provincial People's Government forwarded an article by the Heilongjiang Daily, which was titled: Decision of the Propaganda Department of the Heilongjiang Provincial CPC Committee on Conferring the Titles of "Model of Longjiang" on Wang Manyu and Cai Wei.
The article talks about Wang Manyu's achievements in 2021, helping the national team win the women's table tennis team championship at the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Women's Singles Championship and the Women's Doubles Championship at the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, and the only player in Heilongjiang Province to win the world championship in 2021, which is definitely the pride of the people of Heilongjiang. At the National Games in September, she helped the Heilongjiang team play in 4 events, played with her own injuries, won the women's singles championship and the women's doubles championship, mixed doubles silver medal, such results have created the history of table tennis in Heilongjiang Province, but Wang Manyu is not satisfied, she blames herself for not leading the women's team into the final four.
Wang Manyu single-handedly made the Heilongjiang Table Tennis Association a big winner in 2021, and the article also highly praised Wang Manyu, saying: She has set a lofty ambition of serving the country in sports since she was a child, with a belief like a rock, diligent study and hard work, strict self-discipline, in the National Games, World Championships, Olympic Games and other major competitions, not afraid of strong hands, tenacious struggle, brave to compete for the first, showing superb competitive level and the excellent quality of daring to fight, winning glory for the motherland, fighting for the nation, and adding color to Longjiang.
Seeing this news, I really want to congratulate Wang Manyu, the title of "Longjiang Model" is of great significance, there are only 2 people in the province, and Wang Manyu has won this honor with the achievements he made last year. Yesterday, Heilongjiang Provincial Television also carried out a live broadcast of the award, Wang Manyu himself did not go, this award was led by the leadership of the Heilongjiang Table Tennis Association, there were many middle school students on the scene, Wang Manyu also became a role model for these students, hoping that she will continue to work hard in the new year and strive for more honors for her career.
