Beijing time on April 2, according to some media reports in Taiwan, the male table tennis star, Olympic mixed doubles bronze medalist Lin Yunru has been diagnosed with positive new crown, this news came out, immediately caused a shock in the table tennis circle, everyone on the one hand is very concerned about Lin Yunru's condition, on the other hand, but also worried about the national table tennis players.
Because before that, Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha, Yuan Licen and others had played against Lin Yunru at the WTT Grand Slam and WTT Doha, which was really troublesome!
Lin Yunru's recent activity trajectory must be well known to many fans, starting from March 7, he appeared in the WTT Grand Slam in Singapore, the men's singles and Ma Long played inextricably, and the mixed doubles also had a trick with Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, but none of them won.
Soon after, Lin Yunru rushed to Doha, Qatar, to compete for the championship in the WTT Doha regular season and star competition, during which he met yuan Licen, a rising star in national table tennis, and was knocked out by the other side.
After the Doha Star Race ended on March 31, Lin Yunru returned to Taiwan and reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 after landing, which also made all the athletes who participated in the Grand Slam and Doha bad situation.
Since the Grand Slam tournament ended as early as March 20, more than a week ago, Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha and others are relatively small problems; and the WTT Doha regular season and star game is over later, so Yuan Licen and others should pay attention to it, but the national table tennis players did not meet Lin Yunru in the final end of the Doha star game, and the risk has decreased.
Prior to this, the national badminton athletes had an infection on the eve of the start of the Swiss Open, and then all of them withdrew for treatment, and at that time, some people were worried about the national table tennis team that was competing in Qatar, fortunately, as of the time of publication of this article, there was no bad news, and it should be safe for the time being.
At present, it seems that the international sports world under the shadow of the epidemic is still very unstable, at the beginning of this year, there were athletes "recruited" at the WTT Düsseldorf Competition, fortunately, at that time, the national table tennis did not send athletes to participate, and I hope that the players who participated in the Grand Slam and Doha tournaments can also be safe.
