On April 24, the Korean Table Tennis Association Asian Games and world table tennis trials officially came to an end, after two stages of competition, the Asian Games, World Table Tennis List has been released: men are Jang Yu-jin, Cho Dae-sung, Ahn Jae-hyun, Hwang Min-ha, Cho Seung-min, women are Tian Zhixi, Kim Na-young, Lee Shi-win, Yoon Hyo-bin, Kim Ha-young.
Among them, Tian Zhixi ranked in the top ten in the world in March, so he automatically qualified for these two competitions and did not need to participate in the selection competition. Zhang Yuzhen and Jin Naying won the first place in the first stage of the selection competition, and eventually became the first team members to qualify after Tian Zhixi.
From the above list, it can be seen that in the 10-person list selected by Han Ping-Pong, except for Tian Zhixi and Zhang Yuzhen, the rest are all young players, of which Jin Naying, who first qualified for the competition, is only 16 years old. And several Famous Korean Table Tennis players did not appear on the list, some of them did not participate in the selection competition, and some of them were not selected because of poor results.
Shen Yubin and Zheng Rongshi, who are the six main players of the Korean Table Tennis Tokyo Olympic Games, did not participate, Shin Yubin missed out because he did not recover from injury, and Zheng Rongshi missed these two games because he was temporarily retired from the national team. One of the views on Jung Young-sik's retirement from the team is that he was forced to make this decision because Han Ping-Pong threw the pot that did not stand on the podium at the Tokyo Olympics to Jeong Young-sik, and I don't know if this is the case. Jeong Young-sik is currently the highest-ranked player in the world of Korean table tennis, and it is a pity that he did not have the opportunity to participate in the game.
Lin Zhongxun, a young player with a lot of momentum recently, is also absent due to injury. The other three famous players, former men's doubles first Lee Sang-so, chipper Xu Xiaoyuan, and world champion Liang Xiayin, performed poorly and were eventually forced to lose. With their defeat is an indirect indication that Han Ping-Pong has also ushered in a "renewal", Han Ping-Pong's team is full of youthful atmosphere, Zhang Yuzhen and Tian Zhixi undoubtedly shouldered a heavy responsibility.
Many people are very optimistic about the selection method of Korean table tennis and Japanese table tennis, and the fair competition is strong, but the biggest problem with this selection method is that it is easy to appear "civil war king", and the team is invincible to win the line, and the result is that it is difficult to move outside the team. Like the national table tennis, which has too many outstanding talents, every game is very important, so in order to be safe, it is generally not directly based on the selection competition, but the selection and recommendation of both prongs, and finally the best team is selected.
At present, only 7 people in the Asian Games list of national table tennis have qualified for the competition, and it will be necessary to wait for the final list. After the Japanese table tennis, the Korean table tennis team has also been completed, and the Korean team will start training on May 29, and then start to participate in international competitions including WTT. Looking forward to the new event!
