Recently, the Top 2 opponents of the Chinese table tennis team in the Asian table tennis arena, Japan and South Korea, have held selection tournaments about the World Championships and the Asian Games, and the results have many accidents, the Two World Champions of the South Korean team Liang Xiayin and Japan's Ishikawa Jiajun have not been selected, and Lee Sang-so, Xu Xiaoyuan, Hirano Miyu and Niwa Takashi, who were once in the top 20, also did not have the opportunity to appear at the World Championships, and had to lament the speed of the two strong lineups of Japan and South Korea! In contrast, the European powers seem to be very slow to change, 59-year-old Ni Xialian, 39-year-old Han Ying, 42-year-old Gardos, 40-year-old Pol are still the absolute main force in each team, and they can reach the World Championship without participating in the selection tournament.
The South Korean table tennis team combined the Asian Games and the World Championships to select 10 places through a single round robin, and finally Liang Xiayin, the mixed doubles champion of the 2015 Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships, and Xu Xiaoyuan, the top 8 in women's singles at last year's World Table Tennis Championships, were unexpectedly defeated. Liang Xiayin has almost no achievements in the international table tennis singles, her ball does not have too many characteristics, the attack can not die, the defense is not strong, many games have not yet encountered the national table tennis on the out, the world champion is also in vain, but it is just stained with Xu Xin's light. Another powerful player, Xu Xiaoyuan, is familiar with each other in the team because of his cutting style of play, and it is difficult to play a place. South Korea's men's team Lee Sang-so's exit is more unexpected than Liang Xiayin, Seo Hyo-won, he is the troika of the Korean team in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, doubles once ranked 1st, singles firmly ranked in the top 20, is the main member of the South Korean team men's doubles and mixed doubles, with Jung Young-sik and Lee Sang-so missing the World Championships, Asian Games, the Korean men's team basically formed a main lineup led by Jang Woo-jin, assisted by Ahn Jae-hyun and Lim Joong-hoon.
The competition for the Japanese team was more intense, with the lion king cup finalists qualifying for the World Championships, and as a result, the women's team's Tokyo Olympic main force Ishikawa Yoshizumi Andyo Hirano miyu were out, replaced by two young players, Miyu Kihara and Miyu Nagasaki. The subsequent Asian Games selection tournament Ishikawa Yoshijun is out again, to know that she ranked 7th in the world, but also the absolute main force of the Japanese team in London, Rio and Tokyo three Olympic cycles, Ishikawa Yoshijun is still the mixed doubles champion of the 2017 World Table Tennis Championships, and can not be guaranteed by the Japanese Table Tennis Association to qualify for the competition, Japan and South Korea are both team members by strength to play the quota.
Unlike Japan and South Korea' selection competition, many teams in Europe do not need to be selected, and there are only a few team members in strength: Germany's Pol 40-year-old can still play to the world championship men's singles top 4, Luxembourg's Ni Xialian is 58 years old to win the world championship women's doubles third place, Germany's female chipping female player Han Ying is also 39 years old, and Shan Xiaona has long been among the top 3 main players of the German women's team, Austria's Gardos is also 42 years old, the Lack of competition among European players, young players can not take over, resulting in veterans can comfortably lie flat into the competition list Regardless of the results, at least have a good attitude, easy to play, more to enjoy the sport of table tennis, anyway, this time lost the next time there is a chance to participate. This gave birth to Person's 7 Olympic Games, Ball played for more than 20 years and could still be alive, and Ni Xialian would show a sweet smile after every game, regardless of whether she won or lost.
