On August 8, the much-anticipated table tennis Tunisia came to an end.
The 5 championships were won by 3 associations, the men's singles championship was won by the Brazilian table tennis brother Hugo Calderano, the women's singles championship was won by the national table tennis Zhang Rui, the mixed doubles championship was won by Zhang Benzhi and the two brothers and sisters, and the women's doubles championship was won by the national table tennis Zhang Rui and Ku man, and the men's doubles championship fell into the hands of Zhang Benzhihe and the wooden user.
In this station, the national table tennis men's team is difficult to find a crown. The main player Lin Gaoyuan, lost 1-3 to the Swedish famous player in the 1/4 game, stopped in the top 8, and now the national table tennis men's team is really a bit green and yellow, and I have to say that the national table tennis men's team really needs to refuel.
At the same time, there was another thing that made fans angry, the official mistaken use of the Chinese Taipei flag.
In the mixed doubles final, when the Japanese duo Zhang Benzhihe and Zhang Benmei won the championship by beating the Chinese Taipei players, the official social media of the World Table Tennis Federation mistakenly used the Chinese Taipei flag.
In the face of this absurd move of the World Table Tennis Federation, many fans expressed extreme dissatisfaction and besieged the social platform of the World Table Tennis Federation for the first time, demanding an immediate apology.
In the face of a large number of complaints and condemnations from Chinese netizens after the game, the World Table Tennis Federation changed the flag of Chinese Taipei and publicly apologized on social platforms on the evening of August and July, Beijing time.
The World Table Tennis Federation claimed that after they discovered the wrong use of social media by Tunisian staff, they immediately verified it and finally found that it was caused by the technical staff of the organizing committee of the event, and the World Table Tennis Federation has ordered the Tunisian Table Tennis Federation to immediately correct the mistake and apologize.
But it is clear that such perfunctory rhetoric is not acceptable. Because of this mistake, this is not the first time that the World Table Tennis Federation has appeared. At the "World Table Tennis Federation Regular Season Challenge Doha" in March this year, the organizers made the exact same mistake. In such a period, it is simply intolerable that such problems have arisen.
In addition, the World Table Tennis Federation directly said that this is a problem of the Tunisian Table Tennis Association, and some fans believe that the World Table Tennis Federation is throwing the pot, after all, the World Table Tennis Federation should play a supervisory role.
And looking at the two apologies of the World Table Tennis Federation, it is simply copy and paste. Each time, the content was "thrown" to the staff, and it was the staff of the event, not the headquarters staff of WTT.
At the same time, every time the apology content, there is a sentence "to the WTT World Table Tennis Federation to ensure that there will be no similar situation in the follow-up", and then hastily, but in the end it is always punched in the face, obviously it is difficult to convince Chinese netizens.
Many netizens said that it was because we did not put enough pressure on the World Table Tennis Federation, so they apologized for the first time, but in fact, they did not attract enough attention.
Some fans have called for Liu Guoliang to file an appeal and severely punish the initiator, whether intentionally or unintentionally, someone must be held responsible for such a result.
It should be known that this is a matter of principle for the Chinese national team, if the World Table Tennis Federation has made such mistakes many times, will other events follow suit in the future?
