The two men's singles semi-finals of the 2022 WTT Oman station were all over, and the duel between the four Chinese players made everyone addicted. In the end, Liang Jingkun staged a good reversal in the game, defeating teammate Xiang Peng in 7 rounds. In another semi-final, Lin Gaoyuan and Liu Dingshuo met in a narrow road, and the more powerful Lin Gaoyuan won the game, and the men's singles final will be played between Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan. Entering the Paris Olympic cycle, Ma Long and Xu Xin did not retire, and fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin's main positions were unshakable, which made the situation of Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan very embarrassing. This Oman competition is the best opportunity to test the strength of the two, who can win the championship, you can grab the last main ticket.
At present, the main players of the national table tennis in the men's singles event are Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin. The two big brothers, Ma Long and Xu Xin, have achieved a new peak in their careers, and the reason why they did not choose to retire is that it is difficult for them to give up their love for table tennis. After winning the men's singles men's singles final at the World Championships men's singles final, Fan Zhendong became the new successor of the Chinese team, and he was the biggest hit in the Major Events during the Paris Olympic Cycle. Although Wang Chuqin's singles strength is not stable enough, he has already seized the opportunity in the mixed doubles event.
The World Championships and Sun Yingsha have won the championship, and a mixed doubles ticket to the Paris Olympic Games has been locked. Among the remaining male players, Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan are the focus of the coaching team. The number of national table tennis participants in the World Championships, Asian Championships and other events is relatively large, and several main players can join hands as long as they are in good physical condition. The Olympic Games, the World Cup, etc. have limited the number of participants, and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games table tennis is still a men's team, a women's team, a men's singles, a women's singles and a mixed doubles 5 individual events.
Judging from the current competitive situation of the national table tennis men's team, whether Ma Long and Xu Xin can persist until the end still needs to play a question mark. If the two veterans remain in good shape, it is not ruled out that the Paris Olympic team competition will continue the original team of the Tokyo Olympics, but from the perspective of talent echelon construction, this choice is unlikely. On the men's side, Fan Zhendong has booked one Olympic ticket in advance, and the other ticket is spent on whose house, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun all have a chance. For the 2022 World Table Tennis Championships team and the 2023 World Cup, the performance of these three players will directly determine the ownership of Olympic tickets.
There are two pairs of national table tennis in the mixed doubles event, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Manyu, but the national table tennis coaching staff is actually more inclined to the former, and Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha have won the World Championships. In the Olympic men's team competition, the national table tennis can report the list of 4 players, one of whom is a P card player. Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin both participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games, and it is no accident that both will compete in the men's team competition at the Paris Olympic Games. And the remaining two tickets, may be the sword is not old Ma Long, Xu Xin, or it may be Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan, just to see the two Mesozoic players who can turn the tables against the wind?
