On December 27, 2023, the South Korean team announced the list of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, and after two team selections, 10 players were determined to participate.
The Busan World Table Tennis Championships is the first major event in 2024, the time is from February 16th to 25th, with two events of men's team and women's team, with 5 games and 3 wins, and the whole process is singles.
According to the selection criteria announced by the South Korean team, the three players with the highest ranking in the world directly qualified for the World Table Tennis Championships, the men's team Zhang Yuzhen, Lim Jong-hoon, Lee Sang-so, and the women's team Shin Yubin, Tian Zhixi, and Li Shiwen, and the remaining places were decided according to the results of the trials.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Shengmin and Zhao Dacheng, who are more familiar to everyone, did not participate in the World Table Tennis Championships selection, Park Kyuhyun got the qualification with his own efforts, surpassing Wu Huicheng, Park Kangxian and other experienced young players, the result is a little surprising, but only three people can play in the team competition each time, and Park Kyuxuan wants to show his talents, and it depends on how many opportunities the head coach Zhu Shihyuk can give him.
Some of the famous players of the women's team were defeated, Xu Xiaoyuan and Liang Xiayin, two veterans, failed in the internal selection, faced with the impact of young players, failed to prove themselves, Liang Xiayin won the World Table Tennis Championships mixed doubles championship, Xu Xiaoyuan's chipping is also very threatening, but the state is sluggish, far less than the peak, Jin Naying, as a key training player, the results are mediocre and focus on participation, but Yin Xiaobin performed well.
After the host announced the list of the World Table Tennis Championships, the most mentioned by outside fans is Zhu Qianxi, she can play a tiebreaker with Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, her competitive level is self-evident, it is indeed very threatening, and it will surpass the higher-ranked Shen Yubin, which will inevitably attract everyone's attention, but Zhu Qianxi can only participate in commercial events at present, even if the home game is taken care of, it still cannot violate the regulations.
For the national table tennis squad, I believe everyone has speculation, as far as the current situation is concerned, the men's team Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, the women's team Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Chen Xingtong, this lineup is too high, but the possibility of the coaching staff to promote newcomers is not ruled out, all in all, fans need to be patient, and the answer will be revealed at the last moment of registration.
