The national table tennis in this station did not send all the main forces, only Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin three people to participate, like Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and other absolute main forces did not appear in the list, the intention of the coaching team is also very obvious, is to exercise more of them three.
The new and old tasks of the women's team are still well accomplished, but the men's team is still a little worrying, the younger generation of players still can't collectively pick up the beams, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin, etc. all need to be honed, and this expedition is also an opportunity for them.
This time, the national table tennis also sent many "post-00" young players, such as Lin Shidong, Xiang Peng, Ku Man, Chen Yi, etc., they are the strength of the next generation of national table tennis players, but also to focus on the cultivation of the time, so the coaching team also needs to test them through one competition after another, and finally select the best from the best, do a good job in echelon construction.
The list of participants in this competition has not yet been released, whether Japanese table tennis, Korean table tennis, etc. will participate in the game is not known, but according to the current situation, Chinese Taipei's Lin Yunru and the world table tennis championships dark horse Sweden's Moregold will play, which adds some challenges to the national table tennis men's team. Hopefully, the players can seize the opportunity to play a beautiful new year's war.
