On the evening of October 12, Beijing time, the first crown of the 2023 Table Tennis National Championship was born - in the final final match of mixed doubles, two non-main pairs Lin Shidong/Qu Man, Xiang Peng/Liu Weishan met in a narrow road and launched a fierce showdown, and the result was that 18-year-old Lin Shidong and 19-year-old Quang Man won a big victory and won the gold medal 3-0, realizing the dream of mixed doubles national championship, congratulations to them!
It is worth mentioning that Lin Shidong/Quang Man won the championship in a row against Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, Zhang Benzhihe/Hina Hayata in the WTT Lanzhou Star Tournament not long ago, and now he is dominating the national championships: Congratulations to the national table tennis mixed doubles successor, the young player is fearful!
The mixed doubles battle of the national championship was tragic, and the combination of Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, Yuan Licen/Wang Yidi, Xue Fei/Chen Xingtong, where the main players of the four major countries of table tennis were eliminated, and only won one game in total; In the semifinal match, defending champions Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu lost 2-3 to Xiang Peng/Liu Weishan, and Liang Jingkun/Qian Tianyi were swept 0-3 by Lin Shidong/Qu Man.
From the perspective of strength, it is not surprising that Lin Shidong/Quang Man, who has recently won consecutive victories, advanced to the final, but Xiang Peng/Liu Weishan is indeed a dark horse that is upset, and the strength of the two is still relatively inferior, so it is generally more optimistic that Lin Shidong/Quang Man will win the championship.
After the start of the final, the two sides fought inextricably in the first game, although Lin Shidong/Quang Man had the advantage, but because Lin Shidong only ended the men's singles semifinals battle dozens of minutes ago, so the body will inevitably be consumed, and it is normal to feel fatigue, fortunately, he is only 18 years old after all, he is in a strong age, and finally won 11-9 with Qu Man.
In the second game, Lin Shidong/Quang Man played more smoothly, Lin Shidong's physical feeling also eased, and then he and his partner slammed 11-3 quick victory, and the big score became a 2-0 lead, only one game away from winning the championship.
In the third game, Xiang Peng/Liu Weishan still couldn't find much way to win, and the two who fought back in the water were defeated one by one - whether it was singles strength or doubles cooperation, the two really couldn't take advantage of anything, and in the end, Lin Shidong/Quang Man sealed the victory 11-8, defeating their opponents to win the championship without losing a game, and Xiang Peng/Liu Weishan won the silver medal, which is also worthy of recognition.
At this point, the mixed doubles battle of this year's National Championships came to an end, and the seven main players of national table tennis Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong were wiped out, it is really the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave, a generation of new people for old people!
