In the late evening of March 19, 2023, Beijing time, the WTT Grand Slam came to a successful end, and China became the biggest winner:
mixed doubles champions Sun Yingsha/Wang Chuqin, runner-up Zhang Benzhihe/Hina Hayada;
men's doubles champions Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin, runner-up Zhang Yuzhen/Lin Zhongxun;
Women's doubles champion Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu, runner-up Chen Meng/Wang Yidi;
women's singles champion Sun Yingsha, runner-up Qian Tianyi;
men's singles champion Fan Zhendong, runner-up Ma Long;
National table tennis won five championships Sanya, Japan one Asian South Korea one Asia, undoubtedly, the national table tennis world dominance is still difficult to shake, the biggest winner of national table tennis players Sun Yingsha, the triple crown, the world's first in the short term can not be shaken, 112,000 US dollars equivalent to 770,000 yuan bonus, which is with sweat, tears synthesis, one of the most respected and trusted players.
After Sa Sa won the triple crown, Liu Guoliang, president of the WTT World Table Tennis Federation, president of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, and first vice president of the ITTF, personally presented the award to Sa Sha and took a group photo with a smile, and also took a group photo with the World Table Tennis Federation and Singapore officials, which shows that Liu Guoliang or not, the major table tennis federations and Singapore officials have fully affirmed this competition and Sha Sha's outstanding contribution, and Sa Sha's strength is responsible, no problem!
But after Fan Zhendong won the men's singles championship, the award-giver was not Liu Guoliang, and that's it! There is no group photo, in other words, Liu Guoliang did not appear at the award scene of Fan Zhendong and Ma Long, which made many fans not understand, especially Dongge fans said that Liu Guoliang is unfair, do not treat like this, 3 crowns and 2 crowns are treated differently?
In fact, Liu Guoliang has a lot of things now, look at these important positions of him! You can see his daily work status, very busy! However, this award-giver should have some differences, such as the level of the event, the gold content of the champion and other aspects will be slightly different, Liu Guoliang personally awarded an award to a certain person in a WTT series should have corresponding regulations, the specific details are not officially prompted, it is really not very clear, it is no wonder that Dongge fans express their personal wishes so much!
Dong Ge won the championship and presented the award, does anyone know him?
The author's personal opinion is for reference only, Sun Yingsha's importance to the national table tennis women's line can be described as who I am for, there should be very few people who can replace her, or even no, at least now this situation, and the men's team is not the same, and there are many losses in the foreign cooperation, Dong Ge won the championship before it was somewhat unstable, directly swept by Ma Long, at that time, many people thought that Dong Ge was injured, Yang and other remarks, the injury has been confirmed, Yang is really not officially confirmed... ～
So, why was Liu Guoliang accused of being unfair in the award? One is that the prescribed process can not be changed, we don't know what identity the person who presented the award to Dong Ge is, anyway, it is not one of the three big guys in the two table federations, there may be only one explanation, the champion Fan Zhendong, the runner-up Ma Long, Liu Guoliang If the award is presented to Dong Ge, Ma Long's feelings will be taken into account, and the women's singles runner-up Qian Tianyi is far less influential than Ma Long, personally I think it may be so, Dongge fan blessing is good! After all, Fan Zhendong is still a brother, and he will not be replaced by anyone in the short term, right?
