When it comes to national table tennis, as China's national ball, there is a saying called: you can always believe in national table tennis. Yes, as the world dream team, as long as there is a Chinese team to participate, the champion will basically not fall behind. No, in the WTT Oman game, the national table tennis team with a semi-substitute lineup still showed super strength on the field, winning all five gold medals. In this Oman race, there is a supernova who becomes the biggest winner. Her strength also reflects Liu Guoliang's strength from one aspect, and she has unconsciously completed the upgrading of national table tennis.
In this Oman competition, the national table tennis did not send the strongest lineup to play, but sent a semi-substitute lineup, including world champion Chen Xingtong, one of the five main players of women's singles, also went to participate. But more of the contestants are a group of young players, such as the youngster Kuman, who was born in 2004. But unexpectedly, this young boy will become the biggest discovery and biggest winner of the Chinese team in this event.
The women's singles final that most attracted the attention of fans was between Ku man and Fan Siqi, and the progress of this match was just like the rhythm before Ku Man entered the women's singles final, without much effort. In the first set, although it was once 8:8, after that, Kuman did not give the opponent a chance and directly won 11:8. In the second set, Kuman played smoother and smoother, 11:5, and won easily. In the third set, it was another 11:5, with Kuman taking a 3-0 lead. It wasn't until the fourth inning that Fan Siqi caused some trouble for Ku man, and the two sides were once tied 8:8, 9:9, 10:10. In the end, This round Fan Siqi laughed to the end, pulled back a round, and saved some face. The fifth set went back to kuman's rhythm, winning 11-6 straight and winning the title 4-1.
The win, for Kuman, made personal history, the first time in her career that she won the WTT Challenge singles title. In the process of winning the championship, Kuman can be said to be in very good shape. She first played three consecutive 3-0 games in the qualifiers to win three consecutive games. Then in the main competition, she defeated Liu Weishan, Chen Xingtong, and India's Batara. Among them, Chen Xingtong is also one of the five main players of the national table tennis women's singles and the world champion. In the following semi-finals, Ku man, who was in good shape, directly swept Qian Tianyi 4:0 to reach the final. In the final, he defeated Fan Siqi and won the championship.
That is to say, this time in the women's singles championship journey, Ku Manhao won 8 consecutive victories, and four first-class national table tennis masters fell under her shooting. In the previous women's doubles final, Kuman also defeated the Indian duo with partner Zhang Rui to win the women's doubles championship. It can be said that Kuman is the biggest winner of this Oman station, winning the double championship.
In fact, Ku Man's progress also proves Liu Guoliang's vision. In the past two seasons, the controversy over the renewal of national table tennis has always existed. In this regard, many fans are worried about the dominance of national table tennis in the world table tennis. Now it seems that this fear is superfluous. Unconsciously, the national table tennis, especially the women's team, has completed the replacement. Ding Ning retired, and although Liu Shiwen was still playing and in good shape, in the long run, she basically faded out of the main lineup. Today's national table tennis women's team, with the rise of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, two post-00s young players, the national table tennis women's team should be worry-free in the next few years. Nowadays, the younger Kuman is making rapid progress, which can reassure fans. No matter when, the national table tennis is indeed trustworthy.
