In the field of sports competition, Chinese table tennis has always been our pride. In recent years, the athletes in this event have almost always shown their best form, winning numerous gold medals for the country. But in this context, there are also some excellent athletes who are buried for various reasons.
Qian Tianyi is a 23-year-old young athlete who, although she ranks sixth in the world, can only be used as a sparring partner in the Chinese table tennis team. This situation has aroused everyone's attention and discussion. Why is an athlete who is the sixth in the world only a sparring partner on the national team?
This is because when choosing athletes to participate, coaches tend to choose the top five athletes who rank before her. While this choice seems fair, it is also somewhat irrational. Therefore, after every table tennis competition, there are always people who feel sorry for these buried outstanding athletes.
There are rumors that Qian Tianyi may choose to leave the national team and join the teams of other countries. But judging from her posts on social platforms, she did not have such plans, but chose to continue to stay in the national team. Although there are many people who think that she has no future in doing this, Qian Tianyi does not seem to think so. She values her own improvement and feelings for the country more.
In addition, there are some athletes, such as Yan An and Fang Bo, who choose to leave the national team and go overseas in order to have more opportunities to compete. They have had a lot of opportunities in leagues overseas and have learned a lot. But in any case, every athlete has the right to choose his or her own development path.
Their choice, whether to stay at home or go abroad, is based on their own judgment and considerations. For the national table tennis team, their success is inseparable from every athlete, including those spalring partners who pay silently behind their backs. It is hoped that the Chinese table tennis team can continue to carry forward and win more honors for the country.
In this context, some veterans and former athletes in the table tennis industry have also spoken out and questioned this selection system. They believe that the selection system should be fairer and more transparent, and not rely solely on rankings. Because in actual competitions, many times, the ranking does not fully reflect the strength and state of an athlete.
Some athletes may burst into incredible strength at key moments, while others may perform erratically in key matches. Therefore, the selection system should be more comprehensive, taking into account the actual performance, psychological state, technical characteristics and other factors of athletes.
In addition, it was suggested that the national team should be more open and allow more young athletes to join, so that they can be better developed and prepared for future competitions. For those athletes who have achieved certain results in the international arena, they should be given more care and support to help them adjust their condition and improve their strength.
At the same time, Qian Tianyi's affairs have also attracted the attention of the majority of table tennis fans. Many people called her on social media, hoping that she could show her strength in the international arena as soon as possible. There are also many people who say that Qian Tianyi's affairs are a mirror of China's table tennis industry, reflecting the inadequacy of the selection system. They hope that the national team can learn lessons and improve the selection system, so that more outstanding athletes will have the opportunity to win glory for the country.
Table tennis, as China's national sport, has always attracted much attention. Every competition is about the honor of the country. Therefore, for every athlete, they want to be able to win honors for their country. But behind this, their efforts and sweat are also worthy of our respect and cherishing.
It is hoped that in the future, the Chinese table tennis team can continue to walk in the forefront of the world and win more honors for the country. At the same time, I also hope that those athletes who pay silently behind their backs can receive the attention and support they deserve, and show their strength and style.
