After winning the women's singles championship at the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Meng's personal state has had obvious ups and downs since he returned to China. In the recent stage, in several national table tennis competitions, Chen Meng's performance has been unsatisfactory. It has always been a loss, and has not won any women's singles championships, and the personal situation is indeed more worrying.
Compared with the rise of Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng seems to have some feelings of silence. And it is not only the threat of Wang Manyu Sun Yingsha, in the new cycle, in fact, recently we have seen that after a group of younger players of national table tennis stand on the international stage, they also pose a great threat to Chen Meng. Like Ku man, who recently performed very well in Oman, he got a lot of outside calls. In oman matches, in the women's doubles women's singles competition, one person won two gold medals, and fans called on the national table tennis to focus on her in the new cycle, making her a p card player at the Olympic Games, and even some fans said that they could completely replace Chen Meng. Therefore, in such an external public opinion, it is obvious that chen meng has once again brought pressure, forcing Chen Meng to prove himself in the near future, absolutely can not be like before, want to occupy the core position of national table tennis, Chen Meng may really need to bo once, need to come up with some achievements.
And in addition to internal competition, an official decision on the recent Chinese Table Tennis Association has also brought Chen Meng a greater sense of oppression, which is equivalent to giving Chen Meng an ultimatum. At 17:00 yesterday afternoon, the Chinese Table Tennis Association issued a notice of a new cycle, and this notice is about the selection criteria of this year's Asian Games, which puts forward strict requirements for personnel selection. And we all know that this year's Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou in the second half of the year, so the Table Tennis Association determines the rules in advance and selects the strongest players is also a reprehensible decision. According to the notice, you can see that for men's and women's singles, the national table tennis is only two places, and these two places, the table tennis association requirements are one to give the Singapore Grand Slam singles champion, the other is to give the world ranking points player at that time.
And such an arrangement, I personally do not have much of a problem, after all, the Singapore Grand Slam competition has a lot of gold content, there are many top players to participate, can represent the highest level of the current stage of the competition, and another place by the world's first points players to participate, basically can also represent the strongest fighting ability of the national table tennis, so there is no problem in the rules, but such a decision, in fact, for athletes, will be more cruel. Because except for the player who is the number one in the world, everyone else needs to hit a spot. So this requires that in the Singapore Grand Slam, Chen Meng must show the strongest strength to face the game, face the challenge of Wang Manyu Sun Yingsha and some other players, and from the current standings, Chen Mengmeng can only rely on getting the Grand Slam champion to get the Asian Games tickets, so this time Chen Meng really has no way back.
For Sun Yingsha, another player in national table tennis, she has basically stabilized the qualification for the Asian Games. Because according to the rules, no matter whether Chen Meng can win the championship or not, Sun Yingsha can get the qualification for the Asian Games through the point advantage and stabilize the core position. So whether he can complete the return of the king, Chen Meng really has to see this time.
