With only one and a half years left before the Paris Olympics, the current Olympic lineup of National Table Tennis has been initially clear, but the final lineup will not be determined until 2024. Due to the further restrictions of the selection rules of the table tennis project at the Paris Olympics, the national table tennis cannot be arranged exactly according to its own ideas as before, and some unfavorable factors can be avoided by arranging by itself, such as being a triathlon, which will not occur in the Tokyo Olympics. And the Paris Olympics are very likely. So how likely is that? Let's take a look at it together:

The singles team ➕ mixed doubles is a total of three people, singles has hard rules, mixed doubles ➕ does not look at individual rankings

In singles, it must be the top two of the three people participating in the team tournament by June 18, 2024, and there is no requirement for the third person. Then for the national table tennis, among the three people who can participate in the singles event, the two who can participate in the singles event must also be the top two seeds in the Olympic Games, so that they can 100% guard the upper and lower half of the area, and they are expected to win the championship. For example, the five golden flowers of the national table tennis women's team, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Wang Yidi occupy the top four in the world, and the fifth main Chen Xing ranks seventh. This ranking order has been maintained until June 18, 2024, then Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng participate in singles, and the third person in the group is Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong choose one of the three, or even choose the lower ranking, because there is no mandatory rule that the third person must be the third place. Unless the top ranked players such as Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng do not participate in the Olympics for "some reason", as long as they participate, they will have to decide the ownership of the singles event according to the world ranking.

Qualification for mixed doubles, which has nothing to do with singles events and individual world rankings, is selected through other methods: continental qualifying, Olympic qualifying, and mixed doubles world rankings. In addition, because it is a doubles, if you qualify, you must be a qualified pair to compete, and others can't. For example, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha is currently the world's No. 1 mixed doubles combination, even if you don't play the qualifying round, you can also play the Olympics through the world ranking, it must be Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha to participate in mixed doubles, you can't let Wang Manyu go, and it won't be other national table tennis mixed doubles combinations. The two athletes who win the mixed doubles spot must be selected for the team squad and participate in the team event.

So this makes many people confused about the rules, mistakenly thinking that the first two singles of the team lineup will be played, and the third place will go to play mixed doubles. In fact, it should be looked at the other way around: if you get mixed doubles, you will occupy a team place, and the singles event is the top two singles in the group three, and the remaining one will only play in the team, not that the third person will play mixed doubles, and the top two singles players can also compete for mixed doubles qualification, which is not limited.

Wang Chuqin has three things is the trend of the times, and Sun Yingsha may be entrusted with a heavy task

The Tokyo Olympics national table tennis does not have a person and triathlon, because there is no top two to participate in singles to restrict, and can be freely arranged. The Paris Olympics have this regulation, it must come in accordance with the regulations, and the national table tennis also has the possibility of combining three.

In terms of the men's team, after clearing some points on April 4, 2023, Wang Chuqin will automatically come to the second place in the world, and since Wang Chuqin's existing points are mainly obtained in the second half of 2022, the subsequent two points clearance has almost no impact on Wang Chuqin, Wang Chuqin can not only stabilize the world second, but also have a good possibility of coming to the world first. As long as this trend continues, Wang Chuqin will inevitably be one of the singles members of the Paris Olympics.

Among the other team members who have the ability to qualify for the Paris Olympics, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long do not have a suitable female partner, so the two do not have mixed doubles tasks, and only Wang Chuqin can participate in the mixed doubles of the Paris Olympics.

In terms of the women's team, the top four performances are basically stable, so no matter how the points are cleared, by July 4, 2023, Sun Yingsha will still be stable as the world No. 1, while Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Wang Yidi are competing for the world's No. 2 and another singles spot at the Paris Olympics.

Among the top four of the women's team, only Chen Meng does not have the ability to participate in the mixed doubles of the Olympic Games, and the other three have partnered with Wang Chuqin, and the results are also good, and Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha has won the World Table Tennis Championships, and we can also see that in the team's training competition, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha's opponent is the men's doubles combination, which is the treatment that other mixed doubles of National Table Tennis do not have, that is to say, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha is still the first choice for mixed doubles in the Olympic Games. If the coaching staff is not prepared to let Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha go to the Olympics, why add so many yards to the usual training now? Is it bad to schedule training other mixed doubles combinations early?

Moreover, the Olympic Games is a half-month comprehensive sports meeting, which means that it is not only table tennis, but also other events to be carried out, so there will not be three games a day and four games a day, and you must first play one to determine the champion, and then play the next event. In other words, in the usual table tennis competition, athletes who have multiple roles may immediately go to doubles after playing singles, and they will indeed be a little concerned about one or the other in terms of physical energy. But the Olympics is to play mixed doubles first, after the championship is decided, only to start men's and women's singles, after the singles to determine the champion, and finally to start the team, basically one game a day, can be adjusted and recovered, will not care about the other. Being three is nothing more than starting to play before others, and you can also find the feel of the game first, when others are still looking for state, you are already one step ahead, but it is beneficial, isn't it?

Therefore, as far as the current situation is concerned, Wang Chuqin is basically determined to wear three times in the Olympic Games, and Sun Yingsha is the most likely candidate for the women's team to wear three times. Of course, it is not ruled out that it is only for the Durban World Table Tennis Championships to prepare for this way, what changes will occur after the World Table Tennis Championships, this we can look forward to together, whether to continue to let Sun Yingsha and mixed doubles, or to arrange other main partners for Wang Chuqin?
