Recently, everyone is very concerned about the list of the National Table Tennis Asian Games, but after the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced the Asian Games selection criteria, a total of 10 places in the Asian Games have been determined. Of the remaining 2 places, there are 7 more favorable contenders to compete fiercely, but from the current situation, the advantage of Xu Xin, a veteran of the Olympic champion, is not very large.
It is understood that this Asian Games will have men's and women's teams, men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles and mixed doubles a total of 7 events, and the national table tennis will send 5 male and female athletes each, a total of 10 athletes to participate in the competition, and its selection criteria are as follows:
1. Pass the physical test
2. WTT Singapore Singles Champion
3. During the 14th week of 2022 (April 4-10, 2022), the top three are the highest in the world
4. Born after January 1, 1999, during the 14th week of 2022
(April 4-10, 2022) 1 Chinese athlete with the highest singles ranking of men and women
According to such selection criteria, the current list of confirmed athletes is as follows:
Men's events: Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin
Women's projects: Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Qian Tianyi
Among them, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Chen Meng, and Sun Yingsha won the singles quota of the Asian Games with their outstanding strength and high world ranking, in addition, Liang Jingkun and Wang Manyu won the right to participate in the Asian Games by virtue of the strength of the top three in the world ranking (within the national table tennis), Wang Chuqin and Qian Tianyi and two post-00 players won the quota by virtue of the highest ranking strength among the young generation, and the last 2 places remaining will be discussed and decided by the national table tennis coaching team among the remaining national table tennis players.
However, from the current analysis of the national table tennis lineup, in terms of men's table tennis, the most likely ones are Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Shidong, while the women's table tennis is Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, and Ku Man, for the following reasons:
In terms of men's table tennis, in the remaining lineup of national table tennis players, Xu Xin and Lin Gaoyuan are ranked the highest in the world, and the strength is stronger, while Lin Shidong and Xiang Peng are relatively young and have room for training, but relatively speaking, although the veteran Xu Xin is ranked highest in the world among the remaining players, and he is a left-handed athlete, or a doubles king, Sending Xu Xin may be the best choice for this competition, but as a veteran, the national table tennis may give this opportunity to young people or Lin Gaoyuan. And as an Olympic champion, Xu Xin does not lack a team performance of the Asian Games.
However, Lin Gaoyuan's opportunities may not be very large, especially in recent years, Lin Gaoyuan's competition performance decline is still somewhat obvious, whether it is a foreign war or a civil war Lin Gaoyuan's performance is a bit low, but to 2022, Lin Gaoyuan's state has warmed up, but on the one hand, Lin Gaoyuan is not small in age, plus the state has rebounded but has not yet reached an excellent point, so whether this national table tennis selection will reuse Lin Gaoyuan is also unknown.
And Xiang Peng, Lin Shidong two young players also have the opportunity to launch an impact on the quota of this Asian Games, mainly because the two athletes are young enough, and in the recent competition Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong have made a lot of progress, aside from the results, lin Shidong belongs to the type of dare to fight from a technical point of view, and Xiang Peng's forehand progress is very large, there are places worth cultivating, so although there is some gap with Xu Xin and Lin Gaoyuan, there are still opportunities.
In terms of women's table tennis, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, the two world champions are still very strong, and there is also a chance, and the young general Ku man is a new sharp army in the national table tennis women's team, but these three people are relatively speaking, the national table tennis may be more inclined to Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong, on the one hand, the strength of the two is indeed very strong, the performance of foreign wars is also good, the strength can be said to be infinitely close to the three main forces of national table tennis, and it is indeed difficult for the young general Ku Man to grab the quota, but how to choose between Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong, It is also a headache for the national table tennis, after all, the current strength of the two is not much different, how to choose depends on the final decision of the national table tennis coaching team.
