2024 Paris Olympic Games 329 events determined, the mixed events from the Tokyo Olympic Games increased from 18 to 20 events, the Chinese race walking team is expected to win the first gold in the newly added race walking mixed team events, but in the always a dominant table tennis event, can retain the existence of mixed doubles events, but also thanks to the host French combination Yuan Jiannan / Lebison in the past 2 years of excellent performance, the two are the 4th place in the mixed doubles of the Tokyo Olympic Games, just concluded Doha Star Competition to win the championship, It also allowed the French team to see the hope of winning gold at home, and also added a gold point for national table tennis, and strived to achieve the first gold of the Olympic mixed doubles!
Table tennis mixed doubles debuted as a new project at the Tokyo Olympic Games, each association only allowed a pair of combinations to participate, but also saw in swimming, badminton and other fields of mixed sports gradually joined the Olympic family after the attempt, originally thought that this gold medal will be spent in the national table tennis without suspense, who had expected the host combination Mizutani Hayabusa / Ito Mishimasa to win the gold, to the host Japan team won the first table tennis gold medal in the history of the Olympic Games. Perhaps inspired by the home field of the Host of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee did not cut the table tennis mixed doubles event, and was able to retain its appearance in the Olympic Games, more because the French combination Yuan Jiannan / Lebison had the hope of rushing gold.
French table tennis was once a powerful team in the world table tennis world, in the 1993 World Table Tennis Championships, the famous Guyting won the men's singles championship, and in 1997, the French men's team had The main players such as Gating, Sheila and Erova to reach the second place in the final of the men's team of the World Table Tennis Championships. The French women's team has been tepid, in the past two years, with the veteran Yuan Jianan participating in the number of competitions increased, the results are also slowly rising, Yuan Jianan eliminated the biggest opponent of national table tennis in Singapore's Grand Slam Ito Mimachi to reach the women's singles top 8, and the other 16-year-old Young Player Pavard is a small potential. In the past six months, France's young players have improved rapidly, in addition to the women's team's Pavard, the men's team's Le Brun brothers Alex and Felix have won the WTT men's doubles championship, repeatedly defeated first-class players in the singles field, and are expected to hit the top 8 or even the top 4 in the paris Olympic men's team and men's singles events.
Compared with the French men's team and the successor of the men's singles, the French table tennis team is most likely to win the medal in the Paris Olympic Games, or the veteran Lebesson / Yuan Jianan, Who once participated in the mixed doubles competition with Chen Meng at the 2015 World Table Tennis Championships, and is currently the main force in the French men's team, and Yuan Jianan defeated the No. 3 seed Huang Zhenting / Du Kaixuan of Hong Kong, China, to reach the mixed doubles semifinals in the Tokyo Olympics, but has lost to Liu Shiwen / Xu Xin, Lin Yunru / Zheng Yijing, regrettably rubbing shoulders with the medal.
Paris Olympic Games Lebison / Yuan Jianan wants to win the Olympic gold medal At present, there are two opponents are Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha, Zheng Yijing / Lin Yunru, the former has won the World Championships and Grand Slam titles, the French combination is difficult to shake the victory of the young national table tennis team, if you want to win an Olympic medal for the French team, Zheng Yijing / Lin Yunru, Huang Zhenting / Du Kaixuan should be the biggest opponent, but Leibesson / Yuan Jianan has swept the Chinese Taipei combination 3-0 in the Doha Star Tournament, The Tokyo Olympics also defeated the Hong Kong team, but these pairs won and lost each other, and the French team could not ensure that the Paris Olympics would win against the national table tennis brothers.
For the national table tennis, the mixed doubles continue to be retained, which means that it continues to maintain this gold point, it is an opportunity and a challenge, if the project is cut off, even the challenge can not be talked about, around 2019 Liu Shiwen / Xu Xin is also invincible, to the final of the Tokyo Olympic Games but suddenly stuck, the current Sun Yingsha / Wang Chuqin is in a good state, but there are still 2 years before the Olympic Games, how to maintain such a momentum is still worthy of in-depth study within the national table tennis.
