On the first day of the Durban World Table Tennis Championships, we can see from the video from Durban that Chen Meng's age is 34 years old in the video screen of Chen Meng's first battle, so the anchor at that time also described the 34-year-old Chen Meng, and many sharp-eyed fans began to discuss what Chen Meng's age was. We can check on Baidu Encyclopedia that Chen Meng was born on January 15, 1994, so the current age is indeed 29 years old, so what is the problem?
In fact, this interesting question that will be raised every time the national table tennis game is used to the false report of the player's age, with the continuous development of the Internet, the age problem can also be queried on the Internet, becoming more and more transparent. For example, Sun Yingsha, who was born in 2000, is her real age and has not been falsely reported, but what about others? After all, many opponents from foreign associations will always question the age of national table tennis players.
Let's take Sun Yingsha, who is now attracting much attention, as an example, in fact, now it seems that the championship is soft, the road to the national team is not so smooth, she played three national junior championships to have a chance to step into the door of the national team, and was 15 years old at the time, you know, if Sun Yingsha did not succeed for the last time, she would not have the opportunity to enter the youth championship again, and she would not be able to enter the national team, not even to mention the later champions. At that time, Sun Yingsha lost to Wang Manyu when she was 13 years old, when Wang Manyu was one year older than Sun Yingsha, and the third time Sun Yingsha defeated Qian Tianyi at the age of 15 to enter the national team, which was really very thrilling. And Sun Yingsha's age is a true portrayal of the age of many national table tennis selection children.
Table tennis star Xu Shaofa once said that the problem of changing the age of national table tennis athletes is widespread, and he is very worried that such a practice will crush people in the future, which is unfair. Some children are 2 years old, but their appearance, height and playing style are different from those of younger children. For example, Ai Fukuhara's mother also came to Xu Shaofa during that time period, she complained about the problem of changing the age of the players of National Pingping, saying that when Ai Fukuhara came to China to participate in the competition at the age of 6, she also recorded in detail the playing style, win rate and even age of the children she played, and as a result, when she came to play a few years later, these players became younger players than Ai Fukuhara, and Ai Fukuhara had to compete with different children.
So what causes players to change age? Xu Shaofa also introduced that he said in an interview that the problem of changing the age is because of the establishment of the local team, the number of places is small and limited, and there must be one up, and the children with similar age differences are selected and the rest have no chance, so only if they are small, it is possible to choose the next batch. And just like Wang Chuqin of National Pingping, I remember that Wang Chuqin said that he entered the Beijing team when he was 10 years old, and then said in his social media 19 years that he entered the Beijing team in 2009, then he was born in 98 at that time, but now I can see that Wang Chuqin found out that the age was born in 00, and it turns out that he was 2 years younger.
In fact, some athletes have changed their age more than once, and they may need to change their sports schools, in the provincial team, and in the national team, so that they can be experienced and get more opportunities. Sometimes the players don't change, the coach will help you change, so some children didn't play in the '92 generation, maybe he was around '90, and then changed to '94 or '95. The Table Tennis Association once said in an interview that now participating in junior table tennis competitions begins to test bone age, and if there are 2 bone ages that are not qualified, the entire team will be disqualified from the competition. When Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Table Tennis Association, was interviewed and changed his age, he also said that any project would have this problem, but said that 90% of national table tennis players changed their age is more alarmist, he believes that this piece of material can be played all over the world without changing.
Therefore, the topic of Chen Meng's age change this time has once again attracted public attention, it seems that Chen Meng has changed by 5 years younger, what do you think as a fan?
