A few days ago, I wrote an article about the big ranking of women's table tennis achievements, and some people gave different opinions on the views of the editor Xinxi to Wang Nan and Zhang Yining, including the ranking of Ding Ning Liu Shiwen. It is easy to understand, after all, everyone has a different opinion, the so-called radish greens have their own love. Some fans say that Zhang Yining should be ranked in front of Wang Nan, and some say that Wang Nan is stronger than Zhang Yining, that is, it should be ranked in front of Zhang Yining. Why are there two different views, thinking that Zhang Yining is stronger than Wang Nan? Xiaobian Xinxi 6 feels that it is nothing more than these two reasons.
First of all, Zhang Yining is strong, you may think that Zhang Yining won Wang Nan in the 2008 Olympic Women's Singles Final, and Wang Nan did not win the Olympic Women's Singles Gold Medal like Zhang Yining and Deng Yaping, because Wang Nan lost to Li Jiawei in the 2004 Athens Olympic 1/4 final, and Zhang Yining finally won the championship, and since then Zhang Yining has replaced Wang Nan as the new leader.
Secondly, zhang Yining may feel that Wang Nan lost two points in the final of the 2002 Busan Asian Games, which seems to be the failure of Wang Nan's career, because Wang Nan, as the number one in the team, lost to Kim Heung-mi and Kim Young-hee, causing the Chinese team to lose to North Korea and lose the championship, and Wang Nan also lost to Zhang Yining in the women's singles final.
This is the reason why many fans think that Wang Nan is inferior to Zhang Yining. But is this really the case? To compare two people, we must compare the results of two people, let's take a look at the individual results.
Wang Nan, 24 world championships, including the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games women's singles and women's doubles champions, the 2004 Athens Olympic Women's Doubles Champion, and the 2008 Olympic Women's Team Champion, that is to say, Wang Nan has four Olympic gold medals, and she is also the winner of three consecutive World Championships women's singles events in 1999, 2001 and 2003, plus four World Cup women's singles champions in 1997, 1998, 2003 and 2007, Wang Nan's career eight singles champions are good enough.
Zhang Yining has 19 world championships, including the 2004 Olympic Women's Singles and Women's Doubles Champions, the 2008 Olympic Women's Singles and Women's Team Champions, and Zhang Yining's Olympic Gold Medals are also four. Zhang Yining also has four World Cup women's singles titles in 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005, in addition to two women's singles gold medals at the 2005 and 2009 World Championships, which are also brilliant, and the number of gold medals in Wang Nan's singles is eight.
It is not difficult to see from the above that the two people have the same number of Olympic gold medals, the same number of singles gold medals, and both are four World Cup women's singles champions. The difference is that Wang Nan has three World Championship women's singles titles, Zhang Yining has two World Championship women's singles titles, Olympic singles gold medal Zhang Yining has two, and Wang Nan has only one. However, in terms of gold content, it is more difficult to win the World Championship than it is to win the Olympic Championship, from this point of view, Wang Nan's results are better.
Secondly, from the record of the two-person competition, Wang Nan has the advantage. The two men have played each other 7 times in the world's three major competitions, and Wang Nan has the upper hand with 5 wins and 2 losses. For example, in the women's singles competitions of the 1999, 2001 and 2003 World Championships, Wang Nan laughed to the end.
Wang Nan defeated Zhang Yining in the finals in 1999 and 2003, and Wang Nan defeated Zhang Yining in the semifinals of the women's singles at the 2001 World Championships. In the 2003 World Cup singles semifinals, Wang Nan also defeated Zhang Yining. Even Wang Nan, who was not at the peak of his career, could still beat Zhang Yining 4-1 in the 2007 Fifa World Cup singles final. Everyone watched the three competitions in which Wang Nan won Zhang Yining five times.
Of course, Wang Nan also lost to Zhang Yining, that is, Wang Nan 2-4 Zhang Yining in the 2004 World Cup women's singles final. There is also the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games women's singles final Wang Nan 1-4 Zhang Yining, and these just made Zhang Yining brilliant. Especially from 2004 to 2009, women's table tennis entered the period when Zhang Yining was a leading figure.
But if you compare the two people's three major competition records, it must be Wang Nan who is more powerful. It's just that Zhang Yining didn't have an unforgettable failure like Wang Nan, such as a record of one person losing two points.
Although Wang Nan lost to foreign players, such as the Olympic Games to Li Jiawei, this does not mean that Zhang Yining has not lost foreign wars, such as her repeated losses to Jiang Huajun of the Hong Kong team, and the 2008 Asian Cup lost to Feng Tianwei. So it's not like some people rumored, she doesn't have a silver medal in her hand, and if she lets her children play, she has to find Uncle Wang Hao to borrow such a myth!
It is precisely because of these, whether from the number of gold medals and the gold content and the record of the hand, Wang Nan is better, so Xiaobian still feels that if Deng Yaping puts the first place, the second place is Wang Nan, you say?
