On March 23, the WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament has come to an end, and the national table tennis men's team and women's team successfully won the championship of 5 events! It is worth mentioning that Sun Yingsha won the gold medals in the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles events, becoming a veritable 3 champions. In addition, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin also had good performances, each with 2 gold medals. Although the national table tennis men's team and women's team players won the WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament, they still cannot be taken lightly. According to the official schedule announced by WTT, the championship Xinxiang station will start on April 9.
On the evening of the 22nd, WTT officially announced the 4 P card players of the championship Xinxiang Station, national table tennis players Lin Shidong and Chen Xingtong got the wild card qualification, plus the 8 national table tennis main players who have been determined before, a total of 10 people participated in the WTT Championship Xinxiang Station! It is worth mentioning that Lin Shidong won the wild card qualification of the WTT Championship Xinxiang Station, which triggered fierce discussions among domestic fans, and even some fans believed that it was carefully arranged by the national table tennis coaching staff, and there was no so-called fair competition, and the coaching staff directly designated national table tennis players to participate in the competition.
In the eyes of the vast majority of fans, although Lin Gaoyuan's competitive state has declined significantly in the past two years, his overall strength is still higher than Lin Shidong's, and Lin Gaoyuan still has a good performance in the just-concluded team trials! In this case, Lin Gaoyuan has no reason not to qualify for the WTT Championship Xinxiang Station, and Lin Shidong's qualification for the championship is obviously unfair. It is undeniable that Lin Gaoyuan did have a good performance in the team trials, but this does not mean that he is stronger than Lin Shidong.
In this regard, some fans even took out a list of foreign battle statistics of the children's national table tennis men's team, during the Paris Olympic cycle, Wang Chuqin played a total of 35 foreign battles, 32 wins and 3 losses, with a win rate of 91.43%, ranking first; Malone played 20 outside games, 18-2, with a 90% win rate, temporarily in second; Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun ranked third and fourth respectively in terms of winning rate; Lin Shidong played 32 outside battles, 27-5, with a win rate of 84.38%, ranking fifth! It is worth mentioning that Lin Gaoyuan played 28 outside battles, 21-7, with a win rate of 75%, ranking 13th.
Although the outside win rate does not reflect the strength of a player, it can at least reflect the player's own recent state! For a long time, Lin Gaoyuan's external victory rate has not been high, and it is precisely for this reason that Lin Gaoyuan has even been complained by fans that "outsiders in foreign wars and insiders in civil wars". The most important thing is that the national table tennis coaching staff did not give Lin Gaoyuan a chance, but Lin Gaoyuan never seized the opportunity and let the opportunity sneak away every time. Seeing Lin Shidong's foreign battle data, do you still think there is a problem with him winning the WTT Championship Xinxiang Station P card?
