Congratulate! The 3 world champions in the table tennis world advanced, the top 8 of the team was released, and Ni Xialian was eliminated by cutting 1 point
On September 15, Beijing time, the team eight finals of the table tennis European Championship were all released, and three of the four participating world champions - Boll (Germany), Falk and Karlsson (Sweden) all advanced with their teammates, but Ni Xialian's Luxembourg women's team was eliminated 1-3 to Spain and stopped at the top 16.
Although Ni Xialian played bravely in the match, she won the first set against the number one main player Xiao Yaoqian, but she couldn't bring her teammates, and the rest lost three games in a row, so she didn't have a chance to qualify: it's a pity, I look forward to the 60-year-old that she can play this event again next year!
Unlike the Asian Championships, the European Championships currently hold team competitions in odd-numbered years and individual competitions in even-numbered years, so only team competitions are played this year. This year's men's team is very competitive, in addition to defending champions Germany and veteran Sweden, France also has the strength to attack the championship after the strong rise of the Lebrun brothers, and these three teams have also attracted everyone's attention.
However, in the battle of sixteen to eight, Germany and Sweden passed 3-0 smoothly, but France almost lost to Slovenia, Leblen Felix Jr. won 2 points in a row, brother Alex won 1 point and lost 1 point, and finally won 3-2, not easy!
The Slovenian men's team actually has a strong player, Dako, but he played decently this time and only scored 1 point. Relatively speaking, England's Piczeford is even more uncomfortable, as a famous player who was once named by Liu Guoliang, he scored 2 points in a row against the Hungarian player, but the whole team was eliminated 2-3 on aggregate, which is indeed a pity.
In terms of women's team, Germany and Romania are the most promising teams to reach the final, the former being the champions of the last European Championship and the latter being the champions of the new European Games, but they advanced 3-0 and 3-1 respectively, and Romanian world runner-up Samara.
The situation on Ni Xialian's side is similar to Pichford, but her teammates lost without giving her a chance to win 2 games - in terms of strength, the strength of the Luxembourg women's team is indeed very average, entering the top eight is a little reluctant, and the sixteenth is almost just right.
The next men's quarter-finals are: Germany vs Croatia, Portugal vs Denmark, France vs Belgium, Sweden vs Hungary. As for the women's team 1/4 final, the arrangement is: Germany VS Italy, Portugal VS Sweden, France VS Slovenia, Romania VS Spain. Let's sit back and wait for all the final four lists to be released!
