Although the WTT Women's Finals has come to an end, the controversy in the last day of the game has been fermenting, both appearing in the two women's singles semifinals.
During the game between Chen Xingtong and Wang Yidi, he used the pause to pick up his mobile phone and browse for a while, and was captured by the photographer, Chen Xingtong was looking at the mobile phone at the time, and did not notice that the camera was already aimed at her.
However, the World Table Tennis Federation does not seem to explicitly stipulate that electronic devices cannot be used during the game, Chen Xingtong responded to the problem of remembering, when the big score was behind, but Xi picked up the mobile phone to browse the information, adjust the mentality, and has nothing to do with the game.
Some netizens said that if Wang Yidi was reversed at that time, it would be questioned more, saying that it was unfair to Wang Yidi that a coach sent her tactical commands.
As the head coach of the women's team, Ma Lin also responded to Chen Xingtong's question, there is no rule that mobile phones and computers cannot be used in international competitions, and Chen Xingtong was asked after the game, she said that she wanted to adjust her mentality in the key game, and she had told her to pay attention to it next time, this game, the national table tennis coaches, sparring partners, and staff were all watching the game on the spot.
Liu Guoliang has also been watching the battle, and has also witnessed Chen Xingtong's actions, and there is no response to the outside world, and Ma Lin also made it clear that Chen Xingtong will not be punished.
National table tennis has always strictly required players to play in the game, and violations of the rules will be punished, there have been many examples before, Zhang Jike kicked the board, Wang Chuqin threw the racket, and Liang Jingkun made indecent actions.
Chen Xingtong has not been punished, mainly as a reminder, so as not to cause misunderstanding, Chen Xingtong's performance this season is remarkable, the fifth seed can reach the semifinals, it has been considered a success, and I look forward to a better performance next year.
