The table tennis event officially ended at the Hangzhou Asian Games, and the national table tennis won the gold medal in all events, except women's doubles. The winning of the men's singles event by the pair of Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong is a cause for celebration. However, Wang Chuqin won one more gold medal in the mixed doubles event, which was a historic breakthrough for him and achieved four consecutive Asian Games titles, which is outstanding in national table tennis.
On the other hand, we must pay attention to the strength of women's doubles. Although head coaches Ma Lin and Wang Hao introduced a new combined coaching team in the men's and women's teams, their performance was not satisfactory. Although the men's team rose steadily and won all medals under Wang Hao, the women's team appeared to be a stagnant pool. Sun Yingsha's strength is still online, while Chen Meng, Wang Maggie and Wang Yidi did not perform well in this competition. By observing the women's doubles match and on-field performance, we can see that they need to improve in terms of concentration, lineup style and mental state.
Marin needs to pay attention to this, which is crucial to his position as head coach. If he fails to improve these problems, it is still unknown whether he will be able to coach at the Paris Olympics. Although Liu Guoliang gave a lot of power to the general leaders of the men's and women's teams, and also gave them a lot of trial and error costs, the error tolerance rate of such a key event as the Olympic Games will definitely not be high.
In general, in this table tennis event, National Table Tennis performed well in singles events, but it still needs to be strengthened in women's doubles. Head coaches Marin and Wang Hao need to make further efforts to improve the strength of the women's team to meet more challenges in the future.
