Is it wrong for players to stick to their dreams, contribute to the team, and win a better life for themselves? It seems that such a question is easy to find the answer to. But there are always fans who forget that they are just a fan and make decisions on behalf of the fans of national table tennis. Once they can't make a decision for them, they start to attack them verbally. Does this really make sense? I have always been optimistic that Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu should become the official participants of the National Table Tennis Tokyo Olympic Cycle, and between Liu Shiwen and Wang Manyu, I also insist that the younger Wang Manyu should be given the opportunity to participate directly in the competition. Of course, I have such a point of view, does not mean that I do not like Liu Shiwen, in her ten years of grinding a sword to win the world table tennis women's singles championship, but also for her happy to tears. However, in the case of Liu Shiwen's serious injury and her recovery state is not very ideal, insisting that at that time, liu Shiwen insisted on participating in the Olympic Games, in fact, it was not the best choice.
The question is not an afterthought here. Rather, I want to say that at this time and another, sometimes the athlete's participation can not only look at how much she has paid and what height she has reached, but also depends on the competitive landscape at that time and the degree of progress of opponents and teammates, in order to try to avoid accidents as much as possible. But even if Liu Shiwen still stubbornly stood on the stage of the Olympic Games, and won the silver medal in the mixed doubles field, failed to win the championship, and I originally supported Wang Manyu to participate in the Olympic Games, suggesting that xu Xin and Sun Yingsha play in the mixed doubles at that time, but this should not be the reason for us to laugh at Liu Shiwen. She is fighting for her dreams and the honor of the entire national table tennis team, and her persistence should be respected and supported by everyone. In the end, it was not Liu Shiwen who made the decision to participate in the Olympic Games, but the decision-makers of table tennis, why should everyone pour salt on Liu Shiwen's wounds when she failed to come up with the best state, but has been overcoming difficulties and trying to persevere?
Today, after Liu Shiwen returned from the Olympics, she still chose to stick to it and did not retire immediately. Some fans seem to be unaccustomed to it, either saying that Liu Shiwen wants to play like Ni Xialian until she is sixty years old, or that she has gone from small jujube to old jujube to jujube grandmother, and wants to play a jujube aunt in Chinese women's table tennis. In fact, in the field of the Winter Olympics, Xu Mengtao, Qi Guangpu, and Jia Zongyang can become the elders of the Four Dynasties when their own strength has been very prominent, why is Liu Shiwen and Xu Mengtao equal in age, and she must be regarded as the object of ridicule by everyone? What is the starting point for these fans to make such a mockery of Liu Shiwen?
Indeed, the competition in the world table tennis arena has always been very fierce, and the replacement of Chinese women's table tennis is also very fast. But everyone should be able to see that when Liu Shiwen recovers from a better state, she can defeat Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha, so why should Liu Shiwen be ridiculed by everyone? Even if the national table tennis coaching staff gives more opportunities to young players, and Liu Shiwen slowly transforms from the main player into a senior sparring partner, in fact, as long as she enjoys this state herself and can contribute to the national table tennis, what can we not accept? Seeing that some fans deliberately intercepted a few photos of Liu Shiwen's expression when she was training in Hainan, and then claimed that such photos represented Liu Shiwen's bad mood and bad state, what is the meaning of looking at the picture and talking? The difficulty of the performance on the field can not testify for Liu Shiwen?
As long as Liu Shiwen can contribute to the formation of the combat effectiveness of the entire team of the national table tennis women's team, be a good role model and navigator for the growth of young players, and stand up at any time when the team needs her, her presence in the team will be meaningful. As for not giving her the opportunity to compete, I believe she is now also looking down. For example, in the upcoming Grand Slam tournament, her mixed doubles combination with Xu Xin will be replaced by the partners of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, and Liu Shiwen is not still training hard, staying calm, and listening to the call of the national table tennis coaching team? Such a small jujube, in the later stage of their careers, everyone is still less sarcastic, more support and understanding. Who can say that we will not become the next Liu Shiwen in our industry.
