On March 31, Beijing time, the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced the list of selected coaches for the formation of the Asian Games lineup of the national table tennis team, and the name of the former world champion Wang Hao, who was exposed to leave the team, did not appear, while another Liu Guozheng who was passed away from the team was on the list. The list of members also includes Qin Zhijian, Li Falcon, Lu Yuansheng, Yin Xiao, and Li Xiaodong. The leader of the group is Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Table Tennis Association.
National table tennis in 2022 there are many important competitions to participate in, at the doorstep of the Hangzhou Asian Games is one of them, player formation, there have been a number of singles places have been locked, according to the previous WTT Singapore Grand Slam event results regulations, the harvest of men's and women's singles respective champions and the highest ranking players in the world can get places, which means that the women's team's Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and the men's team's Fan Zhendong and Ma Long have already won the quota. The selection of personnel for the remaining projects will be selected by the coaching staff.
And there are about the national table tennis coaching staff changes, in the Asian Games coaching list can see some details, before, the former world champion Wang Hao was exposed to leave the national table tennis coaching team, once on the hot search, was more than a million netizens concerned, but the official delay in responding, whether it is leaving or staying, did not give a statement. This time, Wang Hao directly did not appear in the Asian Games coaching staff list, which may be a clear signal.
Wang Hao's achievements in the player period are brilliant, winning a total of 18 world championships, although he failed to win the Olympic men's singles championship to complete the Grand Slam, he is already a legend in the history of the national table tennis team. Since entering the coaching position, Wang Hao first coached in the Bayi team, and then entered the national table tennis coaching team in 2017, Wang Hao and Fan Zhendong's mentor-apprentice partner has been the focus of attention from the outside world, and at the Tokyo Olympic Games, it was Wang Hao who took Fan Zhendong. Nowadays, Fan Zhendong has won the men's singles championship in the competition consecutively and began to sit firmly in the position of the first men's singles of national table tennis, but Wang Hao was exposed to leave, which seemed a bit sad. The outside world generally believes that Wang Hao wants to train Fan Zhendong to win the Olympic men's singles championship and make up for the regrets that he did not do during his playing period.
Considering the excellence of Wang Hao's playing days, his experience and ability are a valuable asset for national table tennis, and if he leaves here, it is inevitable that there will be some pity.
China's national table tennis first team is now a stage of player replacement, the women's team Liu Shiwen gradually showed fatigue, 23-year-old Wang Manyu, 00 after Sun Yingsha has become the main force, the men's team side of the two veterans Ma Long and Xu Xin are still fighting, but believe that the remaining peak will not be too long, 25-year-old Fan Zhendong carried the banner, 00 wang Chuqin in Singapore Grand Slam won the mixed doubles and men's doubles doubles in one go. During the period when the team is undergoing blood exchange, it is also important whether the coaching staff remains stable.
