Recently, the official website of the WTT World Table Tennis Federation updated the list of participants in several events in the new season, and the national table tennis will focus on the Singapore Grand Slam, and the full main luxury lineup will compete, at that time, it will compete with the masters around the world. Before the Singapore Grand Slam, there is also a WTT regular season challenge, which will be held in The Middle East from late February to early March in Oman Muscat, after the national table tennis only sent Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and Zhao Zihao to play, but the latest list has added Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong. It can be seen that the national table tennis has begun a personnel inspection to prepare for the Chengdu Team World Table Tennis Championships in April this year.
According to the official website of the World Table Tennis Federation, Wang Chuqin will play in Oman as the No. 4 seed, while the youngster Lin Shidong will become the No. 23 seed. In this update, in addition to the increase in the number of participants in the national table tennis, Nigeria's Aruna and France's Simon Gautz will also participate, with the No. 3 seed and the No. 5 seed, respectively, while the Chinese Taipei star Lin Yunru, who was previously on the list, and The Swedish World Table Tennis Championships runner-up winner Moregood, withdrew from the competition. This is also the first time that Chinese youngster Lin Shidong has competed in international competitions as a seed.
Combined with the personnel arrangement of the national table tennis new season participation plan, the team world table tennis championships will be held in Chengdu in April, and the competition and inspection within the team have begun ahead of schedule. According to the configuration of the team World Table Tennis Championships 5 men and 5 women's list, the national table tennis men's team can now determine that the first camp is Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and Xu Xin, then the remaining other players will compete for the remaining two places, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin, the three are the biggest favorites, they must seize the opportunity to perform themselves, so the Omani event is a rare extra opportunity.
Judging from the current rankings, among the three people Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin, Wang Chuqin is the lowest ranking, so he needs the opportunity of international competitions to earn certain points, so in this supplementary list, Wang Chuqin is also arranged to participate, which is equivalent to giving three people the same opportunity to prove themselves. The young lin shidong's outstanding performance last year also gave him the opportunity to perform in international competitions, and may be able to stage a dark horse miracle again, providing a certain pressure and urgency to the mesozoic team. This arrangement of the national table tennis coaching team has to be said to be quite clever, and it is also very crisis-conscious and precautionary. It is expected that the few people participating in the competition will be able to achieve good results in Oman.
