Then after the National Games and the Table Tennis Super League, everyone can rarely see the figure of the national table tennis player. Because at present, the national table tennis players are carrying out closed training at the Wenzhou Olympic Sports Center, and the team is trying to prepare for a new national event, the Houston World Table Tennis Championships in November.
After winning 4 gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, the goal of national table tennis is obviously to continue to dominate the gold medal list, play the spirit of national table tennis in the first international event of the new cycle, continue to continue our dominance, and play the best performance in the process of the first game, so as to open the Paris cycle in a way that opens the door, and can also bring more pressure to some teams that want to challenge the national table tennis psychologically. Therefore, the current preparation task of national table tennis is very urgent, and the team has been preparing intensely since the start of training. Previously, we also saw the relevant video flowing out, our national table tennis chairman Liu Guoliang, the coach of the men's team and the women's team, were the first time to participate in the preparation of the team, in order to raise the strength of the players to a better level in the short cycle of preparation.
Then after a period of closed training, before the start of the national table tennis, there is another most important problem, that is, to determine the list of the World Table Tennis Championships in advance, in less than a month of the competition, the early establishment of the list is very helpful to the participants but targeted training, after the list is released, the national table tennis can also focus on the participants to make up for the class, for better promotion. And yesterday's list of the World Table Tennis Championships was finally officially released, Liu Guoliang gave fans across the country an answer. Then in the final list of national table tennis, everyone can obviously feel that the national table tennis is still based on cultivating new talents, so many veterans have no chance to participate, which is very regrettable. Among them, including female table tennis player Liu Shiwen. We see that in the women's singles list given by the national table tennis, in addition to the three cores of the Olympic Games, Chen Mengwang Manyu Sun Yingsha, the remaining two coaches of the team are recommended for Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong, who have performed very well in the National Games and the Table Tennis Super League, and the national table tennis coaching team did not leave the opportunity to Liu Shiwen. And in terms of mixed doubles, Liu Guoliang came up with a new combination, with the joining of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, the two mixed doubles places were also finalized, so the fans who originally thought that Liu Shiwen could still rely on mixed doubles to break into the World Table Tennis Championships were also very regrettable, and it was difficult for the Xinwen combination to return to the stage in a short period of time.
Therefore, such a decision really makes it more difficult for many Liu Shiwen fans to accept. Because we all know that after the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Liu Shiwen is actually not far from the time of personal retirement. In the Tokyo cycle, it is true that her personal ability has declined significantly with the impact of age and injury, and she cannot stop the impact of young players. So under such circumstances, the majority of fans also hope that the World Table Tennis Championships can become Liu Shiwen's last stage, so that she can rush once and leave no regrets. But apparently, Liu Guoliang did not choose to do so. After the national table tennis announced the decision, Li Falcon, the coach of the national table tennis women's team, also gave the current selection goal. Li Falcon said in an interview that although the women's team completed the replacement of the old and new in the Tokyo Olympic Games, in the face of the Paris cycle, the national table tennis hopes to build a new young competition group on this basis, and the national table tennis hopes that the women's team will form a new competitive situation. Then from Li Falcon's words, it can be said that the reason for Liu Shiwen's failure is directly given, that is, the national table tennis still has to consider the future competitiveness, give young players more opportunities, and directly form a new competition system, so that Chen Xingtong and Wang Yidi, more competitive young players, to intensify the competition of the team.
And such a result, although it is very regrettable for Liu Shiwen personally, it may be really difficult for Liu Shiwen to play on the international stage again in the future. But Liu Guoliang's approach is not wrong, he has also been intensifying the competition of national table tennis through various means and maintaining an internal virtuous circle. Finally, we also hope that with the strong support of Liu Guoliang, the young players of the national table tennis team can cherish the opportunity to give everyone a satisfactory answer at the World Table Tennis Championships.
