The table tennis super finals have officially come to an end, so that the national table tennis competition in 2023 is officially over. In the past year, the players have gained a lot, Sun Yingsha, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin and others have achieved very good results, and Lin Shidong and Kuo Man's strength and ranking have improved significantly. Next, the schedule of the national football team at the beginning of 2024 has been released.
The national table tennis women's team can finally get a chance to rest after experiencing the finals and the table tennis super league. From January 3 to 5, 2024, the national table tennis men's team will compete in the men's year-end finals in Doha, Qatar, led by Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, etc.
The men's team will not return home after the finals, as the Doha Star Challenge will start on January 8 and end on January 13. It is worth mentioning that there is no registration for the next Doha Regular Challenge on January 14, and if it does, then the men's team will stay in Doha for nearly a month.
The men's team is expected to go to Doha, Qatar around New Year's Day to prepare for the men's finals, and Sun Yingsha, Chen Xing and others will participate in the Doha Star Challenge on January 8, which is destined to go later and spend New Year's Day with their families.
For the national table tennis team, the pressure in 2024 is still very high, the whole team is working hard for the qualification of the Paris Olympics, the men's team has the greatest hope of winning the quota is Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin and Ma Long, the competition in the women's team is very fierce, Sun Yingsha is currently ranked first in the Olympic trials, Chen Meng is second, and Wang Yidi is third. The National Table Tennis Olympic selection points are not the sum of the ITTF ranking points, but the statistics of the Table Tennis Federation points obtained from May 8, 2023 to May 7, 2024.
Therefore, after entering 2024, the pressure and challenges of the players are still great, and I look forward to the national table tennis players achieving good results in the 2024 Olympic year.
