On October 25, Beijing time, the Chinese Table Tennis Association officially punished national table tennis player Liang Jingkun, and the official punishment reason: "In the table tennis competition of the 2022 WTT Macao Championships, Liang Jingkun, a player of the national table tennis team, made an inappropriate celebratory action after the match with teammate Lin Gaoyuan, causing adverse social impact. ”
The punishment imposed by the Chinese Table Tennis Association on Liang Jingkun was a ban, canceling Liang Jingkun's qualifications for subsequent international and domestic competitions in 2022, including the Henan Xinxiang WTT World Cup finals, the National Table Tennis Championships, the Asian Cup and the China Table Tennis Club Super League.
This means that Liang Jingkun can not participate in the remaining large-scale events in 2022, losing the opportunity to compete for more prize money and points, and also has a huge impact on the development of his career.
The heavy punishment of Liang Jingkun by the Chinese Table Tennis Association once again reflects the official concept of strictly administering the army, not tolerating any player's outrageous behavior, as long as there is a wrong behavior, he must be punished.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that the Chinese Table Tennis Association has issued a heavy fine, in the past 5 fines have been issued in a year, including coach Liu Guozheng and post-00 world champion Wang Chuqin have been banned, and the treatment method of the Chinese Table Tennis Association has always been strict.
In 2019, Wang Chuqin lost control of his emotions in a match with teammate Zhao Zihao at the Austrian Table Tennis Open, deliberately throwing away his racket, causing a negative social impact on the international image of the Chinese Table Tennis Association and Chinese athletes. In the end, Wang Chuqin was banned for three months, and his head coach Liu Guozheng was banned for one month. Subsequent fines also included a three-month ban in 2019 when Zhou Yu "tore up his racket"; Coach Ma Junfeng was banned for 1 month, and in 2018, Fang Bo "had a dispute with the referee on duty", and was banned for two league games.
It can be seen that Liang Jingkun was punished this time is not the first case, for Liang Jingkun's inappropriate behavior, the Chinese Table Tennis Association has never tolerated, are punished, to the outside world and public opinion an explanation, but also for the development of Chinese table tennis a maintenance, as an imitation team in the Chinese sports scene, China National Table Tennis can not have any adverse impact on society.
On the other hand, Chinese national table tennis has always had a model to look at, captain Ma Long has never been punished, no matter what the result of the game is, how fierce the event, the dragon team can always remain calm, which is a good example. I hope that this punishment can bring a wake-up call to Liang Jingkun, and there will be no similar actions in the future, respect the opponent, and respect his career development.
