As the majority of table tennis fans know, in the near future, whether it is within the national table tennis or the world table tennis, there are fewer big table tennis events. But the discussion of table tennis players is still very hot. For example, the Asian Games quota competition conducted by the Japanese table tennis team and the Asian Games qualifiers conducted by the Korean table tennis team have given young players a fair competition stage, so that table tennis players of any age can participate in the competition for the Asian Games quota, which has created some young players shortlisted for the Asian Games list of their respective table tennis associations, which shows that in the new Paris Olympic cycle, our two Asian neighbors are looking forward to emerging more powerful factions among young players. You can participate in fair competition with veterans, and hope that they can stand on the more important world table tennis stage through this competition and launch a new round of challenges to the national table tennis team.
However, when the opponents of the national table tennis have made new moves in the cultivation and excavation of young players, even the 17-year-old young player such as Kihara Miyu has begun to gradually rise in the competition, and Hayata Hina and Hirano Miyu have also competed and even ran in front of Ito Mimachi, and the growth of young players in the national table tennis team is also accelerating. In particular, Yuan Licen and Kuo Man both have more and more outstanding performances in domestic competitions, and they have also begun to have their own places in the world arena. For example, Yuan Lichen won the men's singles championship of the Doha Regular Challenge under the premise that many world-class celebrities competed. Kuman is also similar to Yuan Licen, who also won the Oman regular season challenge. This is not only a breakthrough in their personal achievements in the world arena, but also represents the entire post-00 generation of national table tennis, no longer limited to the two top players Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, but also more young players, who have also begun to stand up and prove their own value.
Of course, this huge progress of these young players is not only visible to domestic fans and the national table tennis coaching staff, the World Table Tennis Federation is also very concerned about them, and in the latest post, it clearly praised the young stars who have performed well recently - of course, among the 6 new star representatives, including the two young players of the national table tennis, that is, Yuan Lichen and Ku Mann that we just mentioned. In fact, looking back, before the start of the Olympic Games, when Sun Yingsha was temporarily unable to practice collectively with her teammates, Ku Man had a moment of pre-game training with Sun Yingsha for a short period of time because of her outstanding personal ability and more advanced play. Yuan Licen also had a history of defeating Ma Long and Liang Jingkun in the domestic club league in the early two years. It can be seen that there is a certain degree of competitiveness in the domestic arena, and for these two young players, it has been a while. When the national table tennis coaching team dared to put them on the world stage for training, they also fulfilled their mission and achieved many better sports results than their older, more experienced and higher ranking teachers and sisters in the world. It is this kind of efficient play that makes the World Table Tennis Federation look at them with surprise.
Due to the recent Tokyo Olympic cycle, the original competition pattern of national table tennis with veterans as the main player was broken by various accidents, resulting in Ding Ning choosing to retire directly, Liu Shiwen also finally failed to stand on the Olympic women's singles and team competition, but only participated in the mixed doubles competition, and Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, three players who did not have any Olympic competition experience, stood on the Olympic arena and became the new Olympic champion members, Sun Yingsha was even more in the absence of the World Table Tennis Championships, the World Cup including the Olympic Games, the three major championship results, At the age of 21, she directly stood on the Olympic women's singles field and became the final runner-up winner, and it was Ito Mimakoto who eliminated the most competitive and challenging ability in the foreign association in the women's singles semifinals, allowing her and Chen Meng to achieve a victory in the singles arena. Wang Manyu also completed the team championship task with Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha in the case of temporary topping. These successful experiences have laid the foundation for younger players such as Yuan Licen and Kuo Man to enter the main layer of national table tennis in advance and enter the ranks of future Olympic team competitors.
Although it seems that Yuan Licen and Ku Man still have a certain distance from the main core layer of national table tennis, when young players such as Zhou Qihao, Liu Dingshuo, Zhao Zihao, Qian Tianyi, Liu Weishan and other young players are difficult to play stably in the world arena, the competitive opportunities between Yuan Lichen and Yuan Lichen have actually appeared, depending on whether they can successfully seize it like Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, as well as Wang Chuqin. It is also hoped that they will take the opportunity of being praised by the World Table Tennis Federation this time to strive for their own problems in the face of various opportunities to participate in the future, continue to improve themselves, maintain a sense of competition and determination to compete on the basis of already having certain hard strength, and strive to stand on the podium of world champions and Olympic champions one day earlier. Come on, Kuman. Come on, Yuan Lichen.
