Speaking of Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Wang Hao believe that many fans and friends are not strangers, they are all very good national table tennis people, friends who often pay attention to table tennis know that Ma Long has won the double circle Grand Slam, which is really very powerful, on the other hand, although Wang Hao has also won a lot of honors in his career, he has represented the national table tennis in the Olympic singles 3 times, but unfortunately he has won the silver medal, and he is only one Olympic singles gold medal away from his career, and he can complete the feat of the Grand Slam.
On the other hand, Fan Zhendong, a disciple trained by Wang Hao, has also had a very good career, Fan Zhendong has won the singles gold medal at the World Table Tennis Championships and the singles gold medal at the Olympic Games, and he is only one Olympic singles gold medal away from completing the Grand Slam feat. Fan Zhendong reached the final of the Tokyo Olympics, and in the face of the hexagonal warrior Ma Long, Fan Zhendong had no choice but to lose. Now that the Paris Olympics are just around the corner, it may be the last chance for Fan Zhendong to win the Olympic singles gold medal in his career, after all, Fan Zhendong was born in 1997 and is now 26 years old, and when the next Olympics comes, Fan Zhendong will be about 31 years old.
And now the competition of the national table tennis men's team can be said to be very large, Wang Chuqin has grown up, Wang Chuqin of the Tokyo Olympics or P card, came to the Paris Olympic cycle is already the absolute main force, in major competitions at home and abroad, Wang Chuqin has performed very well, such as the Hangzhou Asian Games held in Hangzhou, Wang Chuqin has become the most dazzling star, Wang Chuqin defeated Fan Zhendong to win the gold medal in men's singles, and also won the men's team, men's doubles, The gold medal in mixed doubles, one person won 4 gold medals, which is really good, and he won the gold medal in men's doubles and mixed doubles at the World Table Tennis Championships, as well as the silver medal in men's singles.
Recently, the authoritative media Xinhua News Agency selected the top ten athletes in the sports world in 2023, namely Wang Chuqin and Ding Liren, Wen Xiaoyan, Liu Qingyi, Zhang Zhizhen, Zhang Yufei, Dong Hongjuan, Qin Haiyang, Xie Zhenye and the Chinese women's basketball team. Wang Chuqin is considered to be Ma Long's younger brother, and now that he has grown up and been recognized by authoritative media, I believe that Ma Long will also be happy for Wang Chuqin.
Fan Zhendong missed the list of the top ten athletes in 2023, the main reason is that Fan Zhendong did not meet everyone's expectations, Fan Zhendong is ranked No. 1 in the world, many fans think that Fan Zhendong should be stable enough and should take over the banner of national table tennis from Ma Long, but what he didn't expect was that Fan Zhendong lost to Tomokazu Zhang Ben twice in a row at home, and also lost to South Korean, European and American players, and also missed a lot of games in the 2023 season.
Many fans wonder whether Fan Zhendong can win the gold medal at next year's Paris Olympics and whether he can complete the feat of Grand Slam. Wang Chuqin is impressive, and at the same time, the Lebrun brothers have also grown up, which is really stressful for the national table tennis men's team.
By the time the Paris Olympics arrives next year, Ma Long will be 36 years old, and I believe that Wang Hao will not put the treasure on Ma Long, and the glory of the national table tennis men's team needs Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin to carry it, for Wang Hao, he must hope that Fan Zhendong will win the gold medal in singles, he has not completed the dream of a table tennis Grand Slam, and he must want to see his disciples complete, but for Fan Zhendong, it is really time to reflect on it, I hope Fan Zhendong can seize the opportunity, although table tennis players do not define success by Grand Slam, but players who can win Grand Slams are destined to have no regrets in their careers, are you right?
