The table tennis women's finals will officially start in Nagoya, Japan on December 15, 2023, and the top 16 players in the world will be selected to compete in this event, which is divided into two competitions: singles and doubles, the singles semifinals and finals use a best-of-seven system, and a best-of-five system for doubles, reducing the possibility of an upset. The Women's Finals have a huge points payoff, with 1,500 points for the winner, 1,050 points for the runner-up and 525 points for the third place.
There are 7 people selected for the national table tennis event this time, namely Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, and Zhang Rui. After the end of the mixed team World Cup, these 7 people also took the plane to Nagoya, Japan directly from Chengdu non-stop, and now the national table tennis players have successfully arrived in Japan.
Sun Yingsha received the warmest farewell from the fans at the airport, Sasha was still wearing her low-key white down jacket, with black sweatpants and a black sports top, a pair of white sneakers on her feet, a black mask, and a blue suitcase with a white bag on top of the suitcase.
Wang Manyu's outfit is exactly the same as Sun Yingsha, wearing a black sportswear, not wearing a down jacket, and the suitcase in her hand is also black. And the most eye-catching dress is Chen Meng, I saw her wearing a yellow peaked cap, a black shiny down jacket, a yellow lining inside, and a black sweatshirt, but with green decorations, which made her overall outfit suddenly lively. Chen Meng has been plagued by injuries since the Frankfurt Championship, and has played less in the mixed team World Cup, hoping to play well this time.
Liu Guoliang made an important change in this competition, that is, let Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu play with women's doubles, Wang Manyu is in good shape in the mixed team World Cup, singles and doubles have good performances, if the recent form can be continued, the Olympic singles quota will most likely be tilted towards Wang Manyu. After all, there is only more than half a year before the start of the Paris Olympics, and the women's doubles combination of Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha will most likely be fixed, which will help the two use more than half a year to cultivate tacit understanding, check each other's shortcomings, and speed up the pace of running-in.
The first shot of Sun Yingsha at the airport made people teary-eyed, it was really not easy! I saw that when Sun Yingsha got off the bus, she dragged a suitcase with each hand, and the large suitcase was densely covered with labels for checked luggage. Table tennis has a lot of big and small events in a year, like Sun Yingsha and other national table tennis players are either in the game, or on the way to the airport, the physical exhaustion has reached a limit, so no matter how many honors and bonuses the national table tennis players get, it can't make people blush, this is their due reward for countless hard work behind the scenes!
The final battle of the Nagoya Women's Finals is imminent, and I hope that the 7 members of the national table tennis team can play well, play the final battle at the end of the year, and draw a perfect end to 2023!
