The WTT Singapore Grand Slam has come to an end, and the winners of various competitions have been released one after another, among which Wang Manyu, who is a two-time winner, has won a good result of 1 gold and 1 silver. So the question is, how much bonus can Wang Manyu, who wants to make money to buy a house for his parents, get?
What happened to Wang Manyu winning 1 gold and 1 silver in a WTT Grand Slam competition?
In this competition, Wang Manyu played in both women's singles and women's doubles competitions. Among them, in the women's singles competition, Wang Manyu defeated Pota 3-0, Diaz 3-0, Polkanova 3-0, and Sun Yingsha 4-3 to advance to the women's singles final, but unfortunately, in the final, he lost to Chen Meng 3-4 and won a silver medal!
In the women's doubles match, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha defeated Zheng Xianzhi/Liu Xinyin 3-0, Tian Zhixi/Liang Xiayin 3-1, De Nutt/Ni Xialian 3-0, and Hatta Xena/Ito Mimachi 3-0 to win the women's doubles championship. It is worth mentioning that in this tournament, the national table tennis women's team players have gained a lot, of which Wang Manyu won 1 gold and 1 silver, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha each won 1 gold medal, and more importantly, all three ranked in the top three in the world women's singles.
Why does Wang Manyu want to make money to buy a house for his parents?
Born in 1999, Wang Manyu began to learn to play at the age of 5, was selected for the provincial training team at the age of 9, and was selected for the national youth team at the age of 14, and has since won the championship of major competitions. After winning the women's singles title at the World Junior Championships for the second consecutive year, Wang Manyu was officially selected for the national first team in 2016. However, Wang Manyu, who has just entered the national first team, is not outstanding, and cannot compete with players such as Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Zhu Yuling and Chen Meng. Until 2021, Wang Manyu suddenly ushered in a big outbreak, and successively won the women's singles championships such as the National Games and the World Table Tennis Championships.
So, what is the matter that Wang Manyu wants to earn money to buy a house for his parents? Time back to before Wang Manyu's "fame", her parents did not hesitate to lay off and sell houses, just to support her to continue to play. In an interview, Wang Manyu admitted that without her parents, she would not be here today, because there is no house in Harbin and Qiqihar, so she wants to make money to buy a house for her parents. It can be seen that Wang Manyu is a very filial child.
How much bonus can Wang Manyu get?
According to the WTT Singapore Grand Slam prize rules, singles champions can get a prize of $100,000, runners-up can get $60,000, and because Wang Manyu won the runner-up in women's singles, he can get a prize of $60,000, equivalent to about 382,000 yuan. In the women's doubles event, the winner can get a prize of $12,000, so Wang Manyu can also receive this prize money equivalent to about 76,000 yuan.
Based on this, Wang Manyu, who obtained 1 gold and 1 silver, could get a total of 38.2 + 7.6 = 458,000 yuan. However, according to the regulations of national table tennis, the prize money won by the players will be divided according to the corresponding proportion to the players, coaching staff and the General Administration of Sports, etc., of which the players can usually receive about 30% of the prize money. After a simple calculation, it can be seen that Wang Manyu can get about 458×30% = 137,400 yuan.
Finally, I would like to say that I hope that Wang Manyu, who has filial piety, can continue to work hard and strive to become the world's first as soon as possible. So, how do you evaluate Wang Manyu's performance? Welcome to the interactive communication below!
