The International Table Tennis Federation held a special meeting on the allocation of places for the 2022 Chengdu World Table Tennis Team Championships, and decided on the selection method of participation qualifications by voting, that is, based on the results of the latest continental competition, the participation quota of all continents was also revealed, including 12 teams in Europe, 11 teams in Asia, 7 teams in the Americas, 5 teams in Africa, 3 teams in Oceania, and an additional mobile quota. Since the Chinese table tennis team is the host of the team competition of this World Table Tennis Championships, it has automatically won the quota for the competition, so a total of 40 teams participated.
2022 Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships will be the first international competition held by the International Table Tennis Federation after the Tokyo Olympic Games, the team World Table Tennis Championships test the overall strength of a national team, the Chinese table tennis men's and women's teams still have condescending overall strength in the two team events, The Chinese women's table tennis has won four consecutive championships after the 2010 Moscow World Championships, and the Chinese men's team has won an amazing nine consecutive championships after the 2000 World Table Tennis Championships in Kuala Lumpur, and the suspense of the Chinese men's and women's teams winning the world championship in Chengdu is not great. The only suspense is probably whether it can win the double crown with a sweeping momentum without losing a set.
Although the Chinese team is the only one, the ITTF still tends to Europe in the allocation of places in the team world championships, and the ITTF allocates 12 places in Europe! The European women's team as a whole can not compete with the Asian Chinese team, Japan team, South Korea team and even Singapore team, China Hong Kong team and Taipei team, the European champion German women's team has reached the Olympic women's team final four for two consecutive times, rio Olympic Games also won the runner-up, but in the Tokyo Olympic Games still lost to Hong Kong, China, the medal, the team's Shan Xiaona, Han Ying, the two main Chinese players in front of the top asian women's team almost low winning rate, while Romania, Russia and other women's teams are more difficult to make waves. The German team led by Bol and Ochalov in European men's table tennis and the Swedish team led by Moregold and Falke can have the hope of winning the medal, and the Chinese team and Japan team in Asia may join forces to advance to the semi-finals.
The overall strength of Asian table tennis is slightly stronger than the European teams, in addition to the national table tennis men's and women's team to win the championship probability is very large, the Japanese men's and women's team is also the second strongest team after the Chinese team, with the strength to win the card, Zhang Benzhi and Ito Mimachi as the iconic figures of the Japanese team, the world ranking has been among the top 5, but the rest of the team members are still difficult to set off a terrifying wave, even if Zhang Ben and Ito play against the Chinese team super level to get 2 points, teammates can not shake the national table tennis supremacy. In addition, the third place of the women's team at the Tokyo Olympic Games in Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea are also strong contenders for the women's team medal. The South Korean men's table tennis and Taipei teams are also hoping to compete for medals.
In order to balance the development of table tennis on all continents, the ITTF also gives the Americas, Africa and Oceania a certain number of places to participate in the World Table Tennis Team Competition, including 7 teams in the Americas, 5 teams in Africa and 3 teams in Oceania. The Women's Team of the Americas has a slight influence on the United States team led by Zhang An, the Diaz sister town to defend Puerto Rico, and the men's team is the Brazilian team led by Calderano, but these teams want to reach the top 8 of the group are very difficult, there is indeed a limited strength, and Europe, Asia is not a level level.
