WTT Championship Macao, National Table Tennis once again achieved a bumper harvest, successfully winning the men's singles and women's singles championships and runners-up. In the men's singles, Wang Chuqin won the gold medal and Ma Long won the silver medal. In the women's singles, Wang Manyu won the gold medal and Chen Meng won the silver medal. The dominance of national table tennis has not diminished in the slightest, and its ability to seize opportunities is very strong, and it has not given players from other countries any chance at all!
At the end of the WTT Championship in Macau, it is natural to hold an award ceremony, and the award presenter invited this time is very weighty, that is, the 60-year-old gymnastics legend Li Ning, who personally presented the award to the men's singles champion and runner-up. The picture of Li Ning shaking hands with Ma Long made many fans sigh at the dream linkage, these two king-level existences in their respective fields, staged the century handshake at the award ceremony, will definitely become a classic moment in the Chinese sports world.
National table tennis legend Liu Guoliang presented awards for the women's singles champion and runner-up, but the 29-year-old Chen Meng missed the gold medal again, and his mood was not particularly good. At the award ceremony, Chen Meng was blackface the whole time, probably thinking that he didn't play well enough, after all, Chen Meng originally had a chance to win the gold medal, but in the end he was reversed by Wang Manyu, so Chen Meng's heart must not be very comfortable, and black face is also understandable.
For Chen Meng, something more heart-wrenching than losing is Wang Manyu's statement after the game. Wang Manyu said very modestly that her championship trophy was not easy to come by, because Chen Meng played very well in this game, whether it was the serve or the forehand and backhand grab, Chen Meng put a lot of pressure on Wang Manyu. Wang Manyu was so modest, but it made Chen Meng a little embarrassed, after all, the terrible thing was not losing, but the opponent gave him a high evaluation after the game.
I still remember that after Chen Meng won the Olympic championship, in an interview with the media, he said: "I feel that my time has arrived!" At that time, Chen Meng was very confident and created a new era of his own, but who would have thought that Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha's technical level had improved by leaps and bounds, and they were originally good teammates who trained together, but they had become Chen Meng's biggest opponent in the international arena.
Now Chen Meng missed the gold medal again, it can only be said that Chen Meng's ability to seize the opportunity is not strong enough, and Wang Manyu's ability to withstand pressure is even better, and finally achieved a reversal to win the championship. The Paris Olympics will be held next year, and if Chen dreams of winning the Olympic championship again, then he must improve his ability to play on the field and strive to prove himself in the Olympic Games again!
