According to the selection rules for the participants of this year's Asian Games announced by the Chinese Table Tennis Association, the lineup of participants in the Asian Games has been basically determined.

Previously, the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced the selection rules for the Asian Games.

In terms of singles, the rules stipulate that athletes who win the Singapore Grand Slam Men's and Women's Singles Championships will qualify for the Asian Games.

In this case, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng qualified for the Asian Games in advance of the singles competition.

The other place is the world's highest-ranked athlete, which would be pleasing to the eye if it coincided with the Singapore Grand Slam singles champion.

In this way, Ma Long and Sun Yingsha will qualify for singles at this year's Asian Games.

In addition to the four athletes qualifying for the Asian Games singles, there will be three men and three men and three men competing in the team competitions of the Asian Games.

According to the previous regulations of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, according to the 14th week of the world ranking as the standard, the three Chinese athletes with the highest singles rankings of men and women will be qualified for the team, in this case, Wang Manyu and Liang Jingkun will be qualified for the team.

In addition to Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, six athletes will qualify for the Asian Games, and two athletes of men and two men will be eligible for the Asian Games.

So, who will these four athletes be?

Previously, the Chinese Table Tennis Association stipulated that a Chinese athlete born after January 1, 1999, with the world ranking in the 14th week of 2022 as the standard, the highest singles ranking of men and women each, can be directly shortlisted for the men's and women's team lineup.

In the men's team, the athlete born after January 1, 1999, the current highest ranking athlete in the world is Wang Chuqin, while the women's team is Sun Yingsha.

In this way, Wang Chuqin will be qualified for a team.

On the women's side, Sun Yingsha has already occupied a place.

In this way, on the men's team, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin will be eligible for the competition, while on the women's team, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu will be eligible.

In this way, the men's team has one more place to participate, while the women's team has two more places to participate.

These three places, in accordance with the previous regulations of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, will be based on the results of participating in international and domestic competitions before the 2021 and 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, in order to help complete the tasks of the Hangzhou Asian Games, to help prepare for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, focusing on the construction of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games echelon, according to the recent competition results and point rankings, nominate those who have outstanding results in international competitions, strong psychological quality and strong ability to resist pressure and physical fitness tests. Entered the list of group project proposals for the Hangzhou Asian Games.

It can be seen from here that the national team coaching team has begun to increase the training of young athletes, both to facilitate the preparation and training of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and to focus on the 2018 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

In this way, it also means that Liu Shiwen on the women's team and Xu Xin in the men's team have completely lost the Asian Games! After all, they can't compete in the Paris Olympics, let alone in Los Angeles.

Judging from the recent period of competition, Lin Gaoyuan and Zhou Qihao's foreign war is not very powerful, and the age is not dominant, the training value is not large, and the younger Lin Shidong is likely to be shortlisted for the Asian Games.

In terms of the women's team, there are still two places left, from the recent period of competition, Wang Yidi is likely to lock in a qualification, and the remaining one place is likely to belong to Ku Man born in 2004!

But there is a big controversy at present, that is, There is no need for Malone to participate in this year's Asian Games, after all, Malone is already a double-lap Grand Slam winner, and there is no need to train himself through the Asian Games, and Malone is 34 years old, whether the national team will once again take Malone's singles qualification, and send a younger young player to participate in the Asian Games singles, so that it may play a better training effect.

In terms of the women's team, Wang Manyu regretted not being selected for singles, but in fact, Wang Manyu had already won the women's singles championship at the Asian Games as early as 4 years ago, which was the best opportunity for Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha to win the championship.
