Today, February 25, some of the team members who trained in the Hainan Lingshui Closed Training ended their training and set off from Guangzhou Airport to Oman today to participate in the WTT Oman Challenge. The specific time of this competition is from February 27 to March 5, the venue is Muscat, Oman, but because of the requirements of the rules of participation, players like Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, who are relatively ranked in the world, cannot participate, but there are also world champions, that is, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin, as well as Chen Xingtong of the women's team. In addition, the strength of the players He Zhuojia and Zhang Rui also participated, the specific list of participants is as follows:
Men's Singles: Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin, Zhao Zihao, Lin Qitao, Zhou Qihao, Xiang Peng, Xu Yingbin, Xu Haidong, Yu Ziyang, Xue Fei, Liu Dingshuo, Zhang Yudong, Yuan Licen, Cao Wei.
Women's Singles: Chen Xingtong, He Zhuojia, Qian Tianyi, Liu Weishan, Zhang Rui, Fan Siqi, Yang Huijing, Ku Man, Chen Yi, Shi Xunyao, Qi Fei, Zhu Sibing
Men's Doubles: Liang Jingkun / Wang Chuqin, Cao Wei / Xu Yingbin, Xiang Peng / Lin Shidong
Women's Doubles: Qian Tianyi / Chen Xingtong, Liu Weishan / He Zhuojia, Ku Man / Zhang Rui
Mixed doubles: Liang Jingkun / Ku Man, Wang Chuqin / Chen Xingtong
It is not difficult to see from here that Wang Chuqin and Liang Jingkun participate in the men's doubles and men's singles, and at the same time they also have to participate in the mixed doubles competition, which shows that Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin have become key training objects. On the women's team, Chen Xingtong and Ku Man are also in three categories, and the left-handed young champion of the World Youth Championships Women's Singles Champion Ku Man has also become a key training object. At last month's WTT Macau Tournament, she teamed up with Fan Zhendong to defeat Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, only to lose to Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen in the final. It seems that Kuman has slowly grown up.
In addition, Lin Shidong and Xiang Peng also participated in the men's doubles project this time, and it seems that the national table tennis is also increasing the training of the new generation. Because today the WTT World Table Tennis Federation also announced that the World Youth Championship champions Xiang Peng and Ku Man and the 37th ranked He Zhuojia qualified for the WTT Singapore Grand Slam, and Lin Shidong was also directly qualified for the main competition. Is it tilted towards the young players?
Congratulations to all the players, whether it is the WTT Oman Challenge or the WTT Grand Slam Singapore Tournament, they can achieve good results!
