Today is the last day of the year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Chinese table tennis team ushered in the Spring Festival holiday after the end of the WTT Macau Championship, and this year can spend a reunion year with their families. This morning, the Chinese Table Tennis Association and the WTT World Table Tennis Federation have posted a national table tennis new year video, although the team members who appeared in the two videos are not exactly the same, but Liu Shiwen is leading the way in both videos, wearing a red team uniform, she is smiling like a flower, and she is in a good state.
In the National Table Tennis World Table Tennis Championships released by the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Shiwen, Wang Chuqin, Wang Manyu, Xu Xin, Sun Yingsha, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long appeared on camera one after another, saying auspicious words about the Year of the Tiger, wishing everyone a happy new year and a prosperous Year of the Tiger. Finally, Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, made a final appearance, saying that he brought the Chinese Table Tennis Association and all the personnel of The Chinese Table Tennis Association to bid farewell to everyone and wished everyone a happy Year of the Tiger and a safe and healthy family. In the WTT World Table Tennis Federation's national table tennis New Year's eve video, in addition to the eight main players, the rest of the team members who participated in the WTT Macau Championship also appeared one by one to send their New Year wishes.
In the two videos, the first to appear in the camera is Liu Shiwen, who sends her blessings with a bright smile on her face. In the WTT Macau Championship, Liu Shiwen, who returned to the field, competed in the mixed doubles and women's singles events, mixed doubles partner Xu Xin won the championship, and the women's singles defeated Sun Yingsha to reach the final, and finally won the runner-up, which also proved that she still has a strong competitiveness. However, due to the fact that in the past two years, Liu Shiwen did not participate in many international competitions due to injury, in the latest edition of the world ranking updated by the WTT World Table Tennis Federation, Liu Shiwen's ranking dropped by six places, ranking only seventeenth, which is the lowest ranking in the women's table tennis main lineup.
In the two New Year's eve videos, the vast majority of people, including Liu Guoliang, wear the national table tennis red team uniform, only Wang Manyu wears a black and dark blue team uniform, which is different from everyone else. In the latest edition of the world rankings, Wang Manyu is still in fourth place, behind The National Table Tennis Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and Japan's Ito Mimachi. In this issue, everyone's points in 2020 have dropped from 50% to 20%, and everyone's points have dropped, and Wang Manyu is only 105 points away from Ito Mimachi's point difference. After Sun Yingsha reached the top of the world, among the four Olympic champions of the national table tennis women's team, only Wang Manyu has not been the world number one, and the world number one should also become one of Wang Manyu's goals.
