Since the first stop of the ITTF 2023 opening year from March 7 to 13 - the 2023 World Table Tennis Championships Asian Qualifiers, from March to early April, international table tennis events have been frequent: WTT Doha Regular Challenge, WTT Singapore Championship, WTT Doha Feeder, WTT Amman Feeder Tournament. The last game was still ringing and the WTT Xinxiang championship was raging again, and although the happiness of the fans was somewhat similar, the coaching staff of various countries had their own troubles.
However, the biggest trouble for the coaching staff of various countries this year must be how to determine the list of participants in the Durban World Table Tennis Championships, so that the players are satisfied, the fans are satisfied, the sponsors are satisfied, and then, the coaching staff must always be satisfied.
Take China, Japan and South Korea, the three strongest in East Asia, it can be said that the drama will change, and each has its own ingenious differences - South Korea is like gambling, Japan is like the college entrance examination, and China is too mysterious. I wait for the fans to eat melons, but I might as well stand by and watch.
South Korea: Gambling based on luck
The process by which South Koreans decide places is simple and brutal, that is, the game is decided. Whoever happens to have good luck when he plays, wins and qualifies, and goes out with joy; Go home if you lose, there is nothing to say. According to this method, the South Korean team has long set the list of the Durban World Table Tennis Championships:
Men's singles: Lim Joong-hoon, Jang Woo-jin, Lee Sang-so, Ahn Jae-hyun, Cho Seung-min
Women's singles: Tian Zhixi, Shin Yubin, Choi Hyo-joo, Lee Si-wen, Seo Hyo-won
Men's Doubles: Jang Yu-jin/Lim Joong-hoon, Cho Dae-sung/Lee Sang-so
Women's doubles: Shin Yubin/Tian Jihee, Choi Hyo-joo/Lee Si-wen
Mixed doubles: Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin, Cho Dae-sung/Kim Na-young.
Japan: More nervous than the gaokao
The college entrance examination is nervous, and the process of determining the list in Japan is probably even more nervous than the reference college entrance examination. The reason is that the selection criteria in Japan are complicated and sad.
First of all, we must look at the world ranking of the ITTF, secondly, we must look at the results of the selection of the team, and most importantly, we must look at the results of the main members of the Chinese national team. You only have one pass, well, it's like passing one college entrance examination, but the others have not passed, so you wait for next year. Finally, there is the exit of the total score over the line. So here is the list of Durbansai:
Male figures: Tomokazu Tsukimoto, Maharu Yoshimura, Hayara Daijo, Mizuki Oikawa, Daito Shinozuka
Female: Miyu Ito, Kiina Hayata, Miyu Atsaki, Miyu Kihara, Miu Hirano
Otobi: Tomokazu Tsukimoto / Daito Shinozuka, Hayara Daigami / Yukiya Uda
Female twins: Miyu Ito / Kiina Hayata, Miyu Kihara / Miyu Atsuzaki
Mixed Twins: Tomokazu Uramoto / Kiina Hayata, Daito Shinozuka / Miyu Kihara.
Guo Ping: The standard is too mysterious, you don't understand
The selection criteria of the national table tennis competition can be described as one word: keep pace with the times, each session is different. It's dizzying and breathtaking. Take this year's Durban World Table Tennis Championships. In the last year, for the selection, there was a battle for the strongest on the surface, which not only made the players nervous, but also made the fans mesmerized. Fortunately, some people failed to fight, and there were make-up matches. It doesn't matter if you can't fight again, there is also a quota designated by the coach. And even if you win the championship, you are not necessarily the strongest in the coach's mind, so there is an additional clause: watch the results of an international competition. So someone relied on the laurels of international competitions and gladly got a list of competitions. Even at this point, if someone really hasn't made it yet, don't panic: there are still coaching staff reserved places and beckoning to you.
Therefore, National Table Tennis did not hurry and called out a list of Durban World Table Tennis Championships:
Men's Singles: Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan;
Women's Singles: Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong;
Men's Doubles: Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan/Lin Shidong;
Women's Doubles: Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu, Chen Meng/Wang Yidi;
Mixed doubles: Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, Lin Shidong/Qu Man.
Well, this list is not bad, not to say, at least a few people are sad, and most people rejoice.
