The 2023 Durban World Table Tennis Championships is about to start, and the participation lists of various associations have been determined, but many fans still feel unhappy about the defeat of a national table tennis athlete, she is the women's team star Qian Tianyi.
It is no wonder that Qian Tianyi is currently ranked sixth in the world, once surpassed Chen Xingtong, ranked fifth in the world, and recently defeated Misei Ito, Yuan Jianan and other national table tennis rivals, but did not participate in all the events of the World Table Tennis Championships, indeed some regrets, and even many netizens think that this is an unfair selection of the national table tennis coaching staff, so is this really the case?
Personally, I think that the reason why she did not win the Durban World Table Tennis Championships is by no means the partiality of coach Ma Lin and others, mainly from three reasons: first, the power time is too late, and the key inspection period of the coaching staff is missed; There is no advantage in competition within the second team, which is clearly behind the top five main players; Third, the doubles performance was mediocre and did not have too many highlights.
First of all, the first point, this is easy to understand, because since the end of the development of adolescence, Qian Tianyi's career has been tepid. Compared with Sun Yingsha, who has won the Olympic champion and world championship titles in the same age, she is definitely incomparable; Compared with Qu Man, who was born in 2004 and has defeated the main players Chen Meng and Chen Xingtong several times, she is also lackluster.
It was not until the arrival of 2023 that Qian Tianyi's results made a major breakthrough, but not to mention that January is only half a year away from the start of the World Table Tennis Championships, not to mention that Qian Tianyi did not start to make efforts until March, defeating Misei Ito, Yuan Jianan and others at the Grand Slam to win the runner-up, it was too late!
And just in March, Qian Tianyi lost to 14-year-old Japanese teenager Mikazu Changmoto, how can such a performance reassure the coaching staff?
Secondly, let's look at the current pattern of the national table tennis women's team, which has been basically stable in the past two years for Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha top three (the main force of the Olympic Games), Wang Yidi, Chen Xing ranked fourth and fifth (the main force of the World Table Tennis Championships), and Qian Tianyi If he wants to break through their suppression, he must do the following three points:
First, the results surpass one of them; Second, the performance of foreign wars is extremely outstanding; Third, the record of fighting with the civil war is not good - so did Qian Tianyi do this? It can only be said that it has been partially done, but it is obviously not prominent enough.
In terms of results, Qian Tianyi won the singles championship in lower-level international tournaments; In terms of foreign war performance, the five main forces all have the upper hand against Ito Mimako, although Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, and Chen Xingtong have recently lost foreign wars, but Qian Tianyi is also losing; In terms of civil war, although Qian Tianyi can also create an unpopularity, but if he encounters the top five main forces, he is obviously inferior, how can he compete to win them?
Of course, the above two reasons will only make Qian Tianyi lose the singles event of the Durban World Table Tennis Championships, and doubles may not be able to fight, after all, she was selected for the women's doubles at the last World Table Tennis Championships.
However, Qian Tianyi lost the foreign war with Chen Meng last time and was eliminated by the Japanese pair Mimato Ito/Hina Hayada, and her women's doubles and mixed doubles performance were not good in the following two years, and Qu Man on the one hand has the advantage of age, on the other hand, he has won many mixed doubles championships in international competitions with Lin Shidong, plus Chen Mengye and Wang Yidi team women's doubles, so it became inevitable that Qian Tian was out.
Let's compare Chen Meng with Qian Tianyi: Chen Meng did lose foreign wars, but Qian Tianyi also lost; But Chen Meng has so many gold medals and experience in the Olympic Games and the World Table Tennis Championships, does Qian Tianyi have it? So to sum up, Qian Tianyi's defeat this time is indeed reasonable, there is no conspiracy theory, look forward to her next competition to continue her efforts, strive to realize the dream of world championship, come on!
