The WTT Taiyuan tournament is about to start, but many table tennis fans are not interested and seem to have fallen into a period of fatigue.
Since the Asian Championships, the main athletes of national table tennis have been like little spinning tops, and they have not had a few days to rest. The game here has just ended, and the game over there is about to start again.
As early as before the Frankfurt game in Germany, some fans expressed their worries, believing that such a dense game schedule would be too consuming for athletes, and there might be some injuries.
Sure enough, before the WTT Taiyuan tournament, Chen Meng announced his withdrawal from the competition and explained the reason for his withdrawal very sincerely.
Chen Meng wrote in a very helpless tone the reason for his withdrawal, which was the injury in his waist.
Chen Meng revealed that he was injured in the training before the Frankfurt game, and in the process of the game, although he used bandages and waist support, it did not have much effect.
The back injury has gone from a one-sided pain at the beginning to a pain on both sides now, and it takes a long time for the pain to slowly move the waist.
Not only Chen Meng, but Sun Yingsha also announced her decision to withdraw from the singles competition before the game.
In the process of explaining the reason, Sun Yingsha said that she would continue to play in the mixed doubles competition, but according to her own state, after discussing with the coaching staff, she still withdrew from the singles competition.
Many table tennis fans expressed their goodwill and understanding for Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha's decision to retire.
Some table tennis fans bluntly said that so frequently let the main athletes participate in the competition, it is simply the main force as a "coolie", and the athletes are in the case of physical unbearable, "leave" is understandable, after all, take care of the body, maintain a better state, in order to better devote yourself to the future competition.
Many Xu Xin's fans have a better understanding of Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng's withdrawal.
In the eyes of many Xu Xin's fans, if Xu Xin was not allowed to play as intensively as in 2019, Xu Xin's career could have been extended for a few more years.
In 2019, Ma Long suffered a knee injury, Zhang Jike suffered a back injury, Fan Zhendong was in a sluggish state, and Xu Xin carried the banner of national table tennis alone.
That year, Xu Xin played a small match in the big competition, won 21 championships, and once played, Xu Xin played thirteen games in one day.
Many fans may still remember that Xu Xin injured his wrist, and Qin Zhijian wanted to ask the referee for a medical timeout, but the referee refused.
In the live broadcast screen at that time, Qin Zhijian personally helped Xu Xin tie the wrist guards, with tears in his eyes, and said to the referee, "I will go on it after tying", which moved many table tennis fans.
For athletes, the hardships of training are not terrible, and the failure of competitions is not terrible, but when it comes to injuries, the face will change dramatically.
Once an athlete has an injury, it means that they will either leave the field in the short term, or continue to persevere at the risk of serious injuries. Either way, it's not rosy for athletes.
Many fans who care about national table tennis have also proposed a solution, that is, to give young players more opportunities to play.
Many table tennis fans believe that young players can be selected for the national table tennis, which means that they have strong strength, but many competitions do not have many opportunities to compete because of the quota, and it is difficult for them to accumulate competition experience, which makes it difficult for young athletes to grow.
There are also some table tennis fans who believe that from the perspective of the construction of the national table tennis echelon, it is completely possible to let the main players give up some games and let young athletes go out to play more. Don't let the main team become a "coolie", and the young players become the "lookout stone" for the game.
