In 2023, Chinese table tennis will once again make a sensation. Sun Yingsha broke the record again with an amazing performance, far ahead of the Japanese first sister. At the same time, Chinese table tennis ushered in two outstanding post-00s rookies, who emerged with a huge score difference of 11-1. However, a discussion is quietly unfolding around the selection of the national team coaching team.
First, let's focus on Yingsha Sun. She has occupied the top position in the world ranking for more than 150 consecutive days in 2023, becoming the first female singles player among post-00s players and the record holder for the highest ranking. Her international points have soared to 62,500, far surpassing the 1,800 points of Japanese sister Hina Hayada, and the 1,400 points of Mimato Ito and others. Sun Yingsha's performance made the Chinese table tennis team proud, and she became a treasure of the national team.
Secondly, Chinese table tennis ushered in two outstanding post-00s players. Xu Haidong shocked the world with a 3-0 victory against the European men's singles champion in WTT Kazakhstan. His performance was outstanding, and despite having the opportunity to compete in white, he chose to follow Zhang Yining's principles and maintain the dignity of his opponent. Another rising star, Shi Xunyao, also rose to prominence in international competitions, sweeping opponents with Zhu Sibing, proving that she is the hope for the future of Chinese table tennis.
However, the selection of the coaching team has also become a focus of discussion. Ma Lin insisted on supporting Chen Meng to continue as the captain, while Sun Yingsha could only become the vice captain. The decision sparked controversy by ignoring other standouts in the eyes of some. Some have called for the return of Kong Linghui, who is known for his fairness and impartiality and will decide the position of captain based on strength, indiscriminately. Kong Linghui's return may make the national team more balanced and unleash more potential.
Whether to support the return of Sun Yingsha and Kong Linghui has become a hot topic for table tennis fans and sports critics. Some people believe that Sun Yingsha's leadership ability and Kong Linghui's fair refereeing style will bring new vitality to the national team and is expected to further consolidate the dominance of Chinese table tennis. They firmly believe that the selection mechanism based on strength will push the team to go further and achieve more glory.
However, there are also some reservations about this proposal. They believe that the decisions of Ma Lin's coaching team are well thought out, and Chen Meng's leadership and experience play an important role in the team. They worry that changing the structure of the coaching team could trigger unnecessary confusion or even negatively affect the athletes' mindset. While chasing victory, they emphasized the stability and cohesion of the team.
As the Asian Games and Asian Championships approach, these topics will continue to generate heated debate. No matter what the final choice is, Chinese table tennis will continue to compete in the international arena with a solid foundation and new forces full of potential, and win honor and dignity for Chinese sports again. Looking forward to the Chinese table tennis team in future competitions to create another good result, win glory for the country, and also make table tennis fans excited and cheer for their idols.
