On May 1, the ITTF Executive Committee approved the latest proposal formulated by the Actual Ranking Working Group, in order to reduce the impact of the epidemic on the event, the "initial points" introduced in 2020 have not been deleted! Soon on May 3, the International Table Tennis Federation officially announced the world ranking list for the 18th week of 2022.
This is also the first world ranking after the new points rule reform, and the results are not surprising to the fans, and sure enough, the world rankings in the 18th week of 2022 have changed a lot. Former world champion Zhu Yuling has missed a large number of competitions due to injuries and other reasons in the past two years, which has also made Zhu Yuling completely lose the world ranking, and the situation of many veterans of national table tennis has not been much better!
National table tennis Olympic men's team champion Xu Xin world ranking fell sharply, his ranking has fallen to 81, obviously this does not reflect Xu Xin's strength, to know that in the last world ranking before the world ranking restructuring, Xu Xin's world ranking is eighth, the world men's table tennis ranking eighth should be said to be in line with Xu Xin's strength. This time it suddenly fell to 81, and Xu Xin's fans shouted that they couldn't understand it.
And Xu Xin also suffered the same encounter is the former world women's table tennis sister Liu Shiwen, the new issue of the world ranking Liu Shiwen fell to 85, Liu Shiwen is much worse than Xu Xin! You know, although the Chinese women's table tennis is now very serious, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and Wang Yidi are very strong, but Liu Shiwen is a powerful veteran, even the national table tennis Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and other descendants are not sure to be able to defeat Liu Shiwen, the restructured world ranking jujube only got 85, the joke of the International Table Tennis Federation has widened.
In fact, when the International Table Tennis Federation announced the complete deletion of the "initial points" on May 1, many domestic fans had already guessed that the International Table Tennis Federation was still going to the national table tennis this time! The ITTF introduced the "initial points" in 2020, that is, the addition of a fixed number of points to the sum of the highest points, the 2021 and 2022 events provide players with the opportunity to fully earn ranking points, and the cancellation of the "initial points" allows players with excellent rankings in recent competitions to quickly improve their rankings and participate in higher-level events!
In the last edition of the world ranking of the points rule reform, Fan Zhendong led Mark by 3794 points with 10598 points, and the International Table Tennis Federation suddenly changed the world ranking points rules, which undoubtedly affected the most is the national table tennis! However, it should be admitted that under the strong strength, the careful thinking of the International Table Tennis Federation has not received much effect! In the world men's table tennis, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and Liang Jingkun won the top three, the women's table tennis world ranking Chinese team was seriously involved, and Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi won the top four!
The highest ranking of the Japanese women's volleyball team is Hayata Hina, Hayata Hina replaced Ito Mimako in the world's fifth place, ito Mimachi rank fell to the world's sixth! In fact, in order to target the Chinese table tennis team, the International Table Tennis Federation has not tossed less over the years, and this time it directly overturned the world ranking points system, which can be regarded as a big move in recent years! But our national table tennis talents emerge, change to change to the Chinese table tennis team has little impact, but foreign table tennis players are difficult to adapt, after all, under the absolute strength, the operation of the International Table Tennis Federation will not have too much impact on the Chinese table tennis team, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi monopolized the world's top four, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and Liang Jingkun won the top three, the International Table Tennis Federation bamboo basket hit the water empty!
