The Chinese table tennis team is currently resting, and core players including Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liu Shiwen and Chen Meng have returned to their respective homes. But there is another meritorious veteran who still has not stopped, he is the Olympic champion Xu Xin. According to the WTT World Table Tennis Federation, Xu Xin has participated in the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Asian Table Tennis Alliance as the first vice chairman of the Asian Table Tennis Alliance. In an interview, Xu Xin said that he knows that this role gives not only trust, but also a responsibility. The "People's Artist" of the Chinese table tennis team also stressed that in the future, he will make unremitting efforts to promote table tennis and strive for the fairness of the game and more discourse for the national table tennis team.
As a veteran of the national table tennis team, Xu Xin may have a hard time sticking to the Paris Olympics, but he said that no matter where he goes in the future, he will not leave table tennis. Some fans said that with Xu Xin gaining a firm foothold in the Asian Table Tennis Federation, the chinese table tennis team's voice in The Asian table tennis team in Asia and even the world table tennis arena will be further enhanced. For Xu Xin, the Tokyo Olympic Games have both regrets and successes. Although he did not get a singles ticket, he won the team championship with Ma Long and Fan Zhendong, which was also the second Olympic team gold medal of Xu Xin's career.
Unfortunately, he was unable to work with Liu Shiwen to win the first Olympic mixed doubles gold medal in the history of the team for national table tennis. After the Tokyo Olympics, the national table tennis coaching team began to carry out talent exchange work, for Xu Xin, Ma Long, Liu Shiwen and other veterans, if they can not maintain a good competitive state and a solid dominance, they will face the danger of being replaced by new people. In terms of the women's team, Liu Shiwen is half a position behind in the competition with Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, and whether Liu Shiwen will choose to insist on the Paris Olympic cycle is still unknown.
What worries fans the most is her and Xu Xin's mixed doubles, under the impact of the new world championship champions Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, the "Xinwen Combination" that once played invincible hands all over the world has gradually been replaced by the "Shatou Combination". For the mixed doubles, Xu Xin once said that he still hopes to be able to continue to partner with Liu Shiwen, even if the two are not dominant in age and physical fitness, but the experience and tacit understanding of the game are the capital of their competition. In terms of the men's team, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long are the two mountains in front of Xu Xin.
In addition, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin and others were also able to create threats to Xu Xin. From the perspective of singles, Xu Xin basically missed the Paris Olympic Games. If he wants to fight in the Olympics again, Xu Xin can only focus on team and doubles events. This time as the first vice chairman to participate in the meeting of the executive committee of the Asian Table Tennis Alliance, but also let many fans speculate that Xu Xin may fade out of the field and continue to shine for the national table tennis and world table tennis in a new field. In any case, we wish Xu Xin together and look forward to him continuing to write a new legend in the Asian Table Tennis Federation and even the International Table Tennis Federation!
