With a month left before the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, the national table tennis team has gone to Wenzhou to assemble after the end of the table tennis super league, and will soon carry out a month of closed training to prepare for the World Table Tennis Championships in November. Compared with the Japanese team, Germany team, Sweden team and other teams have announced the list of the World Table Tennis Championships, the complete list of the World Table Tennis Championships of the National Table Tennis has not yet been released, and only 6 people can be determined at present.
The men's teams Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun passed through the National Games singles championships and the Table Tennis Super League MVP straight to the World Table Tennis Championships. The three Olympic team champions of the women's team, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, passed through the World Table Tennis Championships through the direct competition champion, the national games champion, and the table tennis super league MVP respectively. Some fans may ask, the above main force added up to only 5 people, why can we determine the list of 6 people? Mainly the Grand Slam Malone defended his title at the Tokyo Olympic Games, this time the Table Tennis Super League final was a personal score of 2 points, he is also the holder of the World Table Tennis Championships three consecutive championships record, there is no reason not to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships. Even if the national table tennis has not yet officially announced the complete list of the World Table Tennis Championships, Ma Long is also a member of the exemption team and can be sure to participate.
Therefore, there are only 4 places left in the World Table Tennis Championships, two for men and two for men, but the scope of the list has also been locked. Judging from the remarks of the men's team coach Qin Zhijian in an interview before, the Slovenian event held in November will be an important basis for the national table tennis assessment of the list of the World Table Tennis Championships. There are a total of seven team members participating in the Slovenian competition, 5 male athletes and 2 female athletes, these 7 are active main players or athletes with personal strength close to the main force, no matter which 4 players are selected to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, they can complete the tasks assigned by the coaching team. Their performance in the Slovenian tournament will directly determine the final list.
However, it is also worth noting that in the big list of Wenzhou training, Liu Shiwen and Zhu Yuling are also among them, indicating that they also have the opportunity to compete for the place in the World Table Tennis Championships. In the past year, Zhu Yuling's physical problems, some time ago also posted photos of hospital recuperation on social platforms, many fans are worried that Zhu Yuling can not catch up with Wenzhou training, and can not participate in this year's World Table Tennis Championships. And when she will recover from her injury is also unknown, adding to the uncertainty of competing for the World Table Tennis Championships list.
Although Liu Shiwen's elbow injury has recovered for more than a year, since missing the Olympic singles quota, coupled with the choice of retiring ding ning at the same time, Liu Shiwen is now in a state of half retreat and half play, and even the Table Tennis Super League has not participated. Even if she is the defending champion of the World Table Tennis Championships, whether she can get a place in the competition really has to be marked with a big question mark. Liu Shiwen and Zhu Yuling because of their respective encounters, even if they are nominally the main players, their competitiveness is probably not as good as Wang Yidi," which is very painful. The time for the World Table Tennis Championships is getting closer and closer, and the national table tennis is likely to announce the complete list of the World Table Tennis Championships early next month, and it is worth looking forward to whether Liu Shiwen and Zhu Yuling can be selected.
