On September 4, after two days of intense selection, the fifth person selection competition of the national table tennis Chengdu World Championships team competition came to an end, Lin Gaoyuan and Ku Man won the championship, Lin Gaoyuan took the last train, and Ku Man only took an alternate qualification for the time being.
The final of the men's team, between Lin Gaoyuan and Xiang Peng, after the competition, the 27-year-old Lin Gaoyuan defeated the 19-year-old Xiang Peng 3-0, Lin Gaoyuan used his strength to justify his name, although in the international foreign war, the psychological quality is often not online, compared with the master and disciple behind him, his strength is still difficult to shake.
Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Table Tennis Association, has said that opportunities are fought, not let go. This qualifier is enough to show that the young players represented by Liu Dingshuo, Xiang Peng, Yuan Licen, Zhao Zihao, etc., are still far from Lin Gaoyuan in terms of strength.
The qualifications that are played with strength are more convincing. Lin Gaoyuan qualified for the World Championships, which is well deserved.
On the women's side, the coaching staff gave two selection rules, domestic and international competitions, that is, the selection champion and the WTT Oman women's singles champion competed for the fifth person in the world championship team competition. Participating in the Oman Challenge, only Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi, any one of them wins the women's singles gold medal, will directly lock in the world championship qualification.
Therefore, although Kuman won the selection competition, she is only a world championship candidate, can she finally succeed? It depends on Chen Xingtong or Qian Tianyi.
In the already concluded WTT Bulgaria regional tournament, Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi had a fight, Chen Xingtong was a 4-0 victory over the opponent, and a single set also exploded an 11-1 score, so Chen Xingtong's strength is very strong. In other words, if there is no accident, the fate of Ku Man is in the hands of Chen Xingtong.
According to the registration situation, Chen Xingtong, who participated in the WTT Oman Regular Season Challenge, competed for the gold medal, and the biggest competitor Ito Mimako retired, for Chen Xingtong, the strength is enough to be proud of the crowd, as long as he does not make mistakes, winning the women's singles championship is a high probability event.
From September 5 to 10, the WTT Oman Regular Season Challenge will be held, when Chen Xingtong will launch a women's singles championship, only by winning the championship, can you go to the World Championships, otherwise, Kuman will catch the last train to Chengdu.
Chen Xingtong, Ku Man, Qian Tianyi, who can become the ultimate lucky one? Let's wait and see.
