The 2022 Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships Team Competition will kick off on September 30, and some participating countries have already determined the final rosters. Not long ago, after the Japanese team announced the final contestants, everyone's eyes were focused on the national table tennis, looking forward to Liu Guoliang's early announcement of the final list of participants.
The national table tennis insider does not seem to be in a hurry to announce the list of team members, after all, the time is still early, but netizens can not sit still, have begun a heated discussion on the Internet. In the past two days, there is a red-headed document suspected to be inside the national table tennis, and the content is exactly the final list of participants that everyone cares about. In this document, the men's team was led by fan zhendong and Ma Long, the top two in the world rankings, and Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan and the young Xiang Peng were selected; On the women's side, the four major Hua Dan played together, plus Chen Xingtong formed a strong team.
As soon as this list came out, it caused a lot of controversy, in which the men's team Xiang Peng replaced Liang Jingkun as the biggest variable. The four major Hua Dan of the women's team were selected at the same time, and there was no objection, the only thing that made everyone disagree was why liu Shiwen, 31, could not be given the last opportunity to represent the national table tennis to participate in the competition? After the retirement of the last captain, Ding Ning, the national table tennis women's team, has not elected a new captain, and Chen Meng has always been regarded as the most suitable candidate for the new captain, but Chen Meng has not been particularly successful except for an Olympic singles gold medal. Although Sun Yingsha has returned to the world first, she is introverted, her leadership is not enough, and she is not a suitable candidate for the captain.
Wang Manyu's aura is very suitable for being a captain, but at present, her qualifications are not enough, and she needs more experience. In this way, in fact, the most suitable candidate is 31-year-old Liu Shiwen, although she is currently facing a semi-retired state, but whether it is seniority or leadership, Liu Shiwen is the most suitable. Now it is up to Liu Guoliang to be willing to give Liu Shiwen a chance, if she is not selected for the roster in the end, then the suspense of the women's team captain will continue.
