Chen Xingtong apologized, but why did some people still not give up?
The Nagoya Table Tennis Women's Finals is over, but one thing is far from over, that is, the incident of Chen Xingtong looking at his mobile phone. The cause of the incident was in a women's singles semi-final, between the matches between Chen Xingtong and Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong looked at his mobile phone a few times, although the time was very short, but it was still captured by the broadcast screen.
Many netizens are questioning why Chen Xingtong is looking at her mobile phone in a grand manner, and whether she is receiving messages or sending messages? In addition, does Chen Xingtong comply with the relevant regulations with her mobile phone? For a while, the voice of doubt was very loud. At 2 p.m. on December 19, Chen Xingtong responded to the matter.
According to Chen Xingtong, before the game, she wrote down some precautions and technical points in the mobile phone memo, because she and Wang Yidi are teammates in the game, and there is no off-field coach guidance, so she took advantage of the game to open the mobile phone and look at it twice, the purpose is to remind herself. Chen Xingtong said that she did not receive messages and did not send messages.
In the end, Chen Xingtong also apologized to netizens who paid attention to this matter, and promised to pay attention to this detail in the future.
It is said that Chen Xingtong has already said this, and normally, fans and netizens should be satisfied. But what I didn't expect was that some netizens still didn't give up, in their opinion, Chen Xingtong was vague about the focus, whether it was a game between teammates, looking at his mobile phone during the break, or obtaining off-court information in violation of regulations, and some netizens came up with relevant regulations, bluntly saying that Chen Xingtong violated the rules, and also named Liu Guoliang and the International Table Tennis Federation to severely punish him, asking for an explanation.
Whether Chen Xingtong's "looking at the phone" violates the rules or not, netizens say it doesn't count, Chen Xingtong also counts, and the National Table Tennis and the International Table Tennis Federation have the final say. If Chen Xingtong really violates the rules, I believe that the national table tennis will not cover up, and if the ITTF does not deal with Chen Xingtong, it proves that Chen Xingtong has no problem with this. It is useless for netizens to provide evidence, so they can only get angry.
The interesting part of the question now is, where did this group of netizens with a strong sense of justice come from? Even Chen Xingtong could not apologize, so he had to let the ITTF deal with and punish him. If this is a player from the foreign association, it is understandable who Chen Xingtong is, one of the five main forces of the national table tennis women's team, why do our own netizens have to let Chen Xingtong be punished?
It may seem strange, but it's actually not that complicated. Chen Xingtong looked at the right and wrong of the mobile phone, let's not talk about it first, we can't talk about it, leave it to the national table tennis and the International Table Tennis Federation.
Chen Xingtong's mistake in this matter is that in the finals, she won a game that she shouldn't have won and lost a game that she shouldn't have lost.
If there were no these two games, Chen Xingtong would definitely not be able to make such a big fuss when he looked at his mobile phone.
Things have to start with a women's table tennis quarterfinals, when Chen Xingtong defeated Wang Manyu 3-0, in 2023, Chen Xingtong played against Wang Manyu twice, winning all of them, the last time was at the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, Chen Xingtong also blocked Wang Manyu from the semifinals.
In the subsequent semifinals, Chen Xingtong lost to Wang Yidi and was eliminated. In the duel between national table tennis, it was normal for anyone to lose and who won, but after these two games, some discordant voices came out. Some fans who like Wang Manyu are very angry, they think that Chen Xingtong can't fight with foreign wars, and neither can they fight with civil wars, but they will be energetic as soon as they beat Wang Manyu.
It seems reasonable for Wang Manyu's fans to be so angry, according to their logic, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi are now in a competitive relationship, both of them are favorable contenders for tickets to the Paris Olympics, Chen Xingtong won Wang Manyu, and then lost to Wang Yidi, which objectively led to Wang Yidi's Olympic points surpassing Wang Manyu, which put Wang Manyu in a disadvantageous position in the competition.
And Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong are both fellow villagers in Liaoning, so a conspiracy theory that is not very perfect came out, and Chen Xingtong was inexplicably infamous.
After that, the incident of Chen Xingtong looking at his mobile phone in the game was exposed, and it intensified, even if Chen Xingtong apologized in person, netizens did not buy it.
Now I can't conclude that Chen Xingtong was reported that it must have been done by a certain star fan group, because you can't rule out that some netizens have a great sense of justice.
But one thing is for sure, if Chen Xingtong didn't win Wang Manyu and didn't lose Wang Yidi, then this matter would not be so hot, even if it is a netizen with a sense of justice, he will not chase and beat his own players for an unintentional move, and they will not give up.
I hope that this turmoil will pass as soon as possible, and I also hope that Chen Xingtong will not be affected by this and prepare well for the next game.
For Chen Xingtong, being silent, not fighting, not grabbing does not mean cowardice, if there is a punishment from the National Table Tennis and the International Table Tennis Federation, he must accept it, but the unwarranted slander and moral kidnapping are here, forget it, take care of them, and Chen Xingtong will lose.
