The WTT Macau Championship is still 2 days away, and the national table tennis players and coaches have already rushed to Macau, China.
This time WTT Macau Competition, there are 16 men's singles players, 16 women's singles players, 16 pairs of mixed doubles combinations, the national table tennis team has 14 male table tennis players, 13 women table tennis players, 15 pairs of mixed doubles combinations, occupying the absolute main force. In the current severe situation, the national table tennis still gives Enough support to the WTT event.
Since playing the WTT World Cup in Singapore in early January, the national table tennis players have not played for more than a month. WTT Macau is the first event for national table tennis to participate in in 2022. The main players of the national table tennis team all participated in this competition, and 12 of them had the experience of winning the world championship.
The fans at the venue of the match are already very much looking forward to the game. Tickets are said to have been sold out. The national table tennis team members appeared at the airport, and someone photographed them at the entrance and exit of the airport, preparing to rush to the competition city hotel.
It's winter and all the people are dressed thickly. Although the team members were wearing masks, they could still be recognized. Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong both wore casual clothes and appeared casual and capable. Both had just had their haircuts, were wearing black masks, and the spirit guy was very handsome.
Sun Yingsha wore a thick down jacket, wrapped like a rice dumpling, and her cute appearance was cute. It is estimated that Sasha came from her hometown in Hebei, only to know that it was very cold there, and did not think that the temperature in the south was relatively high.
Chen Meng achieved double gold at the Tokyo Olympics, and before he could feel the taste of "my time", he was hit by Waterloo at the Houston World Table Tennis Championships and the WTT World Cup. At the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Sun Yingsha won 2 gold and 1 silver, and Wang Manyu also had two golds, especially the heavy women's singles gold medal. Chen Meng only won 2 bronze medals. Sun Yingsha won the gold medal at the WTT World Cup, and Chen Meng only won the bronze medal. The three golden flowers Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu harvested full, but Chen Meng's results were dismal and quite embarrassing. In particular, she did not win the women's singles gold medal at the World Table Tennis Championships and failed to achieve a Grand Slam, which made her deeply regretful.
As the number one in today's women's table tennis world, Chen Meng is definitely not satisfied with such results. In particular, she herself shouted "My world is coming", naturally ambitious to get more championships. Although most of the WTT Macau competitions are participated by national table tennis players, it also brings together most of the world's high-level table tennis players, and the competition is fierce. Chen Meng's opportunity to prove himself came.
The three veterans of national table tennis have not participated in the competition since participating in last year's National Games, which is two or three months. What is their status? For the three veterans, the results are not the most important. How to do a good job of passing and helping, so that the young players can smoothly take over is their top priority.
Ma Long and Xu Xin were communicating at the airport. The two veterans will have to worry about the future of their younger siblings in the future.
Liu Shiwen, another veteran of national table tennis, seems very plain, but she also reveals a hint of sadness and seems to have something on her mind. It is said that Liu Shiwen will fade out of the international competition after playing the WTT Macau Competition, and she does not know whether it is true or not. However, it is normal for athletes to fade out of the competition or retire. Don't be surprised if the dragon python announces his retirement one day. Their game is really to watch one less game, and the majority of fans can enjoy it.
The national table tennis team members arrived at the local hotel and took a group photo together. Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Table Tennis Association, personally led the team. He stood in the middle of the line. Local leaders and Qin Zhijian and others are divided into two ends. Chen Meng stood behind Liu Guoliang, showing her status in the national table tennis.
A press conference will be held at 4:00 p.m. on the 18th, and a lottery ceremony will be held at the same time. Since most of the members of the national table tennis team in this event are of average level, the other five members of the foreign association are of average level and do not pose a threat to the national table tennis team members. Therefore, there is no need to worry about whether the national table tennis players will draw good or not. We just have to see good games. In particular, the three veterans can play high-quality games, not only to teach the young players in the game, but also to share their skills with the majority of fans.
