On December 27, Beijing time, the 2023 competition calendar of national table tennis has basically ended, and the upcoming 2024, as the Olympic year, the dream team of Chinese national table tennis will always be on the road and will never stop.
The latest issue of the national table tennis calendar in January 2024 has been revealed, and after reading this calendar, we have a feeling in our hearts that Wang Chuqin is worthy of being selected by Xinhua Sports in 2023, the top ten athletes of the year, and he will take on the most important task for the national table tennis again in 2024.
The whole year of 2023 is over, and after the 2024 event calendar is released, there will be three competitions in the Chinese national table tennis in January, in fact, there are three competitions for the men's team and only two competitions for the women's team, and Wang Chuqin has the most competition tasks. First of all, on the 3rd ~ 5th of January, the Doha men's year-end finals will be held, which is different from the women's finals in Japan before, this is the men's finals, Wang Chuqin is definitely going to participate, he is the second in the world.
This year-end finals is from No. 3 to No. 5, and in three days, he will definitely have to go from singles to doubles, and there is no suspense about this. Then after playing the year-end finals, Wang Chuqin did not have time to rest, followed by the Star Challenge in Doha, in the Star Challenge, Wang Chuqin also had to shoulder a huge responsibility this time, and the time was from the 8th ~ 14th. In this Star Challenge, Wang Chuqin will play in all the events he can play, and in the men's singles, the six superstars of national table tennis will play collectively.
In addition to the men's singles, Wang Chuqin in the men's doubles event also has to go up to participate in the competition, this time in the men's doubles event in addition to Fan Zhendong, the rest of him and other national table tennis main forces are all available, and Wang Chuqin and Ma Long formed a pair. In the mixed doubles event, he and Sun Yingsha have to continue to play, and there are three more competitions in the Star Challenge, and Wang Chuqin is under a lot of pressure.
In addition, the next regular challenge of national table tennis is still in Doha, 14th ~ 20th, this time the mixed doubles national table tennis coaching staff registered the Shatou combination again. In other words, Wang Chuqin is really a continuous rotation, playing three important games in a row in 17 days, the year-end finals must be played well, and the star challenge must be played well. And then in the mixed doubles event, in the regular challenger, he must also win the championship.
Because it's already an Olympic year, it's basically certain that the Shatou combination is going to play in the Olympic mixed doubles, so you have to show good results in every competition you participate in, so that you can reassure the coaching staff. Therefore, it is equivalent to Wang Chuqin who has just won the award, and now the task is coming, he has to participate in all three competitions and compete for 6 championships, and he may be the only one who has such a heavy task in the men's team, which shows that the coaching staff is the most important to him.
