Sun Yingsha has reaped the honor again.
On December 26, the International Table Tennis Federation officially announced the annual world rankings of five individual events, among which Sun Yingsha won the first place in the women's singles and mixed doubles lists. It can be described as a double happiness.
In the women's singles list, the national table tennis still occupies the top four, Sun Yingsha still maintains the first, and it is a fault lead, Sasha is 8550 points, Wang Yidi in second place is 4505 points, Sasha is 4000 points ahead, and Wang Manyu in third place, she is only more than 300 points less than Wang Yidi, and the veteran Chen Meng ranks fourth, 3995 points.
The most important event of the national table tennis women's team at the moment is the Paris Olympics, and everyone is actually competing fiercely for three Olympic tickets. Judging from the current situation, Sun Yingsha has locked a ticket to the Olympic Games in advance, and Sasha is not only leading the women's singles fault, but also the mixed doubles between her and Wang Chuqin is also invincible in the world. Not surprisingly, Sun Yingsha will compete in the women's singles, women's team and mixed doubles, and will challenge for three Olympic gold medals.
Among the other members of the women's table tennis team, although Chen Meng ranks fourth, in fact, Da Meng's Olympic qualification is also stable, in 2023, although Chen Meng did not achieve too good a championship title, but in fact, her results are not much different, and she has always maintained behind Sun Yingsha, and Chen Meng's foreign performance is too good.
Chen Meng rarely suffered defeats against foreign players, especially when compared to several of Japan's main competitors. From the perspective of the national table tennis coaching staff, no matter who is sent to the Olympic Games, it doesn't matter, but the players participating in the Olympic Games must have a premise, that is, good results in foreign battles, and it doesn't matter what the results are with their teammates.
is still the same sentence, who wins the Olympic championship, that is the national table tennis players themselves to consider, and the coaching staff considers, to put it bluntly, as long as the Chinese players win the gold medal. Who cares if you are a player?
Therefore, judging from the external results of the national table tennis women's team, as long as there are no big ups and downs in the results in the first half of next year, Chen Meng will most likely get an Olympic ticket, and she will also serve as the No. 2 women's singles player. In other words, the women's singles combination of the Tokyo Olympics will return to the Paris Olympics.
As for the third ticket, it is set to be produced between Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi, and Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, and Zhang Rui, these players, have obviously fallen behind. Whether Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi can enter the final list, in addition to testing their singles results in the first half of next year, the most important thing is to see their women's doubles results.
Judging from the annual ranking of women's doubles, the situation of national table tennis is not optimistic, with the Korean pair of Shin Yubin and Tian Zhixi in the first place, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu in the second, and the combination of Chen Meng and Wang Yidi in the third. Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi, if they want to get the last Olympic ticket and participate in the women's team competition, the first thing is to play women's doubles.
If the combination of Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha can be invincible half a year before the Olympic Games, then Wang Manyu will get the last ticket, and if the combination of Wang Yidi and Chen Meng can win the end, then Wang Yidi will surpass Wang Manyu and participate in the Paris Olympics.
Now the situation is already obvious, the national table tennis women's team chooses three out of four, in fact, it can also be summarized as Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi, choose one of the two. Who can go to Paris will depend on the results in 2024.
