On January 15, South Africa, after a week of fierce competition, the first challenge of the ITTF New Year officially ended. The powerful Chinese table tennis team is still the biggest winner, they have won the championship and runner-up of four events in advance, and will be encouraged by rich bonuses and points. The fly in the ointment is that the men's team sent 6 young players to participate, and only Lin Shidong broke into the top 8, which is really surprising.
Since the main force of national table tennis is still training in Lingshui, the coaching staff of this trip focuses on investigating reserve talents, mainly World Youth Championships and sparring players. After the start of the competition, the men's singles lost one after another, and Xue Fei and Liang Yancang, who were also well-known in China, directly lost to 100 players outside the competition; Sun Wen, who replaced Liu Dingshuo in the competition, surrendered without too much struggle in the face of Africa's brother Aruna; The young player Chen Yuanyu lost to Germany's Francesca; Hainan rising star Lin Shidong defeated Brazilian Hugo in five games after breaking through two levels in a row.
Fortunately, the women's singles withstood the pressure, and although Quang Man unexpectedly lost to the Taipei rookie and Chen Yi lost to Chinese veteran Shan Xiaona, Qian Tianyi, Zhang Rui, Fan Siqi and Jian Tongjuan successfully met in the semifinals. It is worth mentioning that Qian Tianyi, who is 00 years old, was ordered this time, withstood the test of multiple competitions every day, and all three events reached the finals, with the momentum of succeeding Olympic champion Chen Meng. In addition, in mixed doubles, Lin Shidong and Quang Man, the golden boy and jade girl, won the championship, which gave fans hope, after all, one is only 17 years old and the other is only 18 years old.
Looking at the foreign association, the entire European table tennis scene still maintains a strong competitiveness, Germany's Qiu Dang, Francesca, France's Simon, Felix and so on have become the main force. Including Ukraine's big black Maz Mudenko, ranked only 145th in the world, he still has to overcome domestic turmoil, difficult training conditions, how difficult it is to sweep Aruna and defeat Simon Goats. #我的生活也是头条 #
