The WTT Star Challenge Doha tournament is underway, and the main players of the national table tennis who participated in the WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament have withdrawn from this tournament and are currently in Singapore for 7 days of quarantine, and will then return to China. Just today, wang hao and Chen Xuan, two Olympic champions of national table tennis, simultaneously reached the hot search high, which caused a heated discussion among fans.
The two were on the hot search at the same time, Wang Hao was the highest in the fourth place, and Chen Xuan was the highest in the fifth place. The reason why the two are on the hot search is because today someone broke the news that Wang Hao will also leave the national table tennis coaching team, becoming the third world champion coach to leave the national table tennis coaching team after Chen Xuan confirmed his departure from the team and Liu Guozheng was exposed to teach at the university. However, in this news, except for chen Xuan's departure from the national table tennis is confirmed news, the news of the other two is currently only a rumor and has not been confirmed. It is such an unconfirmed news that makes Wang Hao and Chen Xuan appear on the hot search, triggering heated discussion among fans and making fans nostalgic for their time on the field.
Wang Hao and Chen Xuan are the same group of players who entered the national team, and their careers almost coincide, Wang Hao is good at singles, and Chen Xuan has better doubles results. At the 2004 Athens Olympics, the two lived in the same room, and in the end, Chen Xuan and Ma Lin won the men's doubles championship, and Wang Hao won the men's singles runner-up. Subsequently, Chen Xuan did not get another chance to participate in the Olympic Games, and Wang Hao participated in two consecutive Olympic Games in Beijing and London, winning 2 team gold medals and 2 singles silver medals. In February 2014, Chen Xuan officially retired with 10 other teammates, and Wang Hao announced his retirement in December of that year.
Neither of the two who left the arena left table tennis, Chen Xuan became the head coach of Jiangsu men's table tennis as early as November 2013, and Wang Hao also became the coach of the Bayi men's team after retiring. After several years of training in the local team, Wang Hao returned to China in March 2017 to become the coach of the men's team, the supervisor Fan Zhendong, and Chen Xuan also returned to coaching in December 2018 and became a member of the coaching team. In February 2019, when the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced the strategic system for the preparation of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Wang Hao and Chen Xuan both became members of the coaching team of the men's first team of national table tennis.
The two prepared for the Tokyo Olympic Games with the national table tennis team, Wang Hao accompanied Fan Zhendong to prepare for the game, and Chen Xuan joined the mixed doubles coaching team to help Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen prepare for the game. However, at the Tokyo Olympics, Fan Zhendong lost to Ma Long and won the singles runner-up; Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen lost to the Japanese combination of Mizutani Hayabusa /Ito Mishimasa, and did not qualify for the mixed doubles gold medal. After the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Wang Hao and Chen Xuan accompanied the national table tennis to continue to participate in the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Wang Hao witnessed his disciple Fan Zhendong win the men's singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time, and Chen Xuan also accompanied Sun Yingsha, who was also the temporary head coach of Sun Yingsha, to advance to the final, and finally won two championships and one runner-up.
After the Spring Festival this year, the national table tennis gathered in Lingshui, Hainan for winter training, and also began the preparation for the Paris Olympic cycle. In February this year, according to public documents from the Nanjing Institute of Physical Education, Chen Xuan was appointed as the men's first-line coach of the table tennis team from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2025, which means that Chen Xuan still left the national table tennis. Subsequently, Guo Ping-Pong announced that Chen Xuan had resigned for personal reasons. However, during the lingshui closed training period, Wang Hao accompanied Fan Zhendong to train, but when the national table tennis set out for Singapore to participate in the Grand Slam competition, Wang Hao did not seem to go with the team, and during the Singapore competition, Fan Zhendong's off-field coach has also been served by Qin Zhijian, the head coach of the national table tennis men's team. Nowadays, the news that Wang Hao will leave the national table tennis is not known where the news came from, nor does it know whether the news is true or false.
