Hi, all table tennis fans, today let's take stock of the bits and pieces of the national table tennis players participating in the winter physical fitness competition. Oops, don't get excited, don't jump into the comment section and get angry just yet, let's talk about it after listening.
First of all, the introduction of the topic was that Sun Yingsha did not win the award, and the fans were on fire: "Sun Yingsha is not practicing track and field, it is normal not to win the award." "Yo, this is a bit interesting, do these fans think that the winners are all related to the track and field team?
Let's take a look at the results of each event, Zhang Yufei of the swimming team won the first prize in the individual all-around, and Wang Jiannan of the long jump team won the second prize in the individual all-around. The fact that there is not even a track team among the winners of the 3,000-meter run can shatter some misleading fantasies.
Luo Shifang of the weightlifting team won the medal in the 30-meter sprint, and the 30-second power cycling event was won by Ding Hongjie of the weightlifting team and Long Yiping of the diving team. Looking at the Y-run event, Luo Shifang of the weightlifting team and Jiang Zhenbang of the badminton team also won the award together. The badminton team won the first prize in the team award, the diving team also won the second prize, and the track and field team could only hope that they won the third place.
Not to mention that the national table tennis players are only good at table tennis, the athletes of the weightlifting team perform well in the Y-run and 30-meter sprint events, which are comparable to the athletes of the track and field team. This is simply a slap in the face to those fans who are only staring at table tennis, so that they can wake up.
Hey, don't make a fuss, I want the leading players of national table tennis back then, Li Xiaoxia, Ding Ning, and Liu Shiwen, all of whom are tall and eye-catching, focusing on the quality of single cricket, one pass ten, ten pass hundreds, and occupy the table tennis world. Don't say anything "It's normal for you Sun Yingsha not to win awards", think back then, which "normal" fan complained about the height of these superstars?
Recall, at that time for Li Xiaoxia and Ding Ning, where were the voices questioning their lack of height coming from? Their connection speed is simply the "fast knife hand" in the table tennis world. Although Liu Shiwen is not tall, once she moves, her speed is dazzling, and she is known as "the first fast knife in the table tennis world".
Now look at Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, these main players, the speed needs to be improved. Sun Yingsha's speed in COSCO has always been difficult to break through, and Chen Meng is just a junior sister in front of Li Xiaoxia. It's not like fans have always thought that "our players are in better shape".
The former leading players, Li Xiaoxia, Zhang Yining, and Wang Nan, are simply the queens of table tennis, but they don't just care about table tennis. Li Xiaoxia, singles cricket is of high quality and flexible, Liu Shiwen not only won the singles championship at the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, but also won the mixed doubles championship, which can be called a double champion.
= For the leading players who wear many positions, whether it is Li Xiaoxia or Ding Ning, the singles and doubles in the big and small tournaments are basically one shoulder. Which fan said that they "have a number of things that are generally considered fatigue"? Liu Shiwen is even more technologically advanced, and her height is not weak, and she is known as the originator of the masculine style of play of women's national table tennis.
If it weren't for Guo Yue, who retired early, her height and advanced playing style would have established a legend for her, should some people reflect on it?
Further back, in the era of Zhang Yining and Wang Nan, it was the norm to have many things. Wang Nan is the triple crown winner of the World Table Tennis Championships, and no one has matched it so far. The current Chen Meng is called the eldest sister by the fans, although she is not as good as Wang Nan, but in front of them, does the current leader seem a little immature?
Not to mention the current main player, it is Wang Manyu, although he is praised by fans as a model, tall and straight. But in those days, her height could only be considered average, because her predecessors were equally tall. This is a new take on the modern player, and these "model body" staples are less prominent by traditional standards.
Well, this is a glimpse of the national table tennis players participating in the winter physical competition. Sun Yingsha did not win the award not because she couldn't do it, but because the requirements for players in this era are different. Don't always hold the players of the past to the table, times are changing, and we need to change with them.
So, do you think the current leaders are more relatable and interact more closely with the fans, because times are changing, or is it because we prefer the idols we are close to? Do you dare to deny that the current players are no longer a replica of the past, but have their own style?
Perhaps, there is no standard answer to this question. However, times have changed, and so have the players. After this physical competition, perhaps we should give these young players more understanding and encouragement. You say yes, right?
But having said that, this winter physical fitness competition is not only a test for national table tennis players, but also an impact on the entire sports world. Looking at the former table tennis superstars, now they have to fight to the death with the athletes of the gymnastics team, swimming team, and track and field team, which can't help but make people feel emotional. The competition in sports seems to have gone beyond what we used to be familiar with.
In the face of this unprecedented physical competition, national table tennis players have shown a positive attitude towards the challenge. I have to admit that the concept of "height first" in the past has gradually faded, and the selection criteria under Liu Guoliang's benchmark have also changed. In this competition, national table tennis players of different sizes showed a variety of skills, providing a richer model for the training of national table tennis players in the future.
Luo Shifang and Ding Hongjie of the weightlifting team, and Long Yiping of the diving team, their outstanding performance has made the "power" players set a new benchmark in the minds of fans. This also makes us think about whether the future national table tennis team will no longer be limited by a single body type, but will be able to complement each other in different aspects and achieve better results.
Perhaps in the past, speed was highly emphasized, but now it doesn't seem to be the only yardstick. In the team awards, the excellent performance of the badminton team and the diving team has sparked a lot of discussion. Isn't speed no longer the only thing that players rely on for their all-round performance?
Take a look at the leaders of the past, who have focused on the use of technique and strategy in addition to speed. Li Xiaoxia and Ding Ning have many roles, which has undoubtedly cultivated their more comprehensive technical capabilities. Now, the technical shortcomings of players such as Chen Meng and Wang Manyu may be one of the reasons why they failed to win awards in the winter physical competition.
When it comes to the physical fitness of the players, it is impossible not to mention the charm of the leading players. Li Dazhui Li Xiaoxia and temperament king Zhang Yining, what they exude is not only the visual impact brought by their height, but also a kind of dominance and aura. And the current Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha, although they cannot be underestimated technically, seem to be a little deficient in aura.
The former leader gives people a sense of looking up, and that kind of dominance that surpasses everything is incomparable to the current main player. Wang Nan's glory of the triple crown at the World Table Tennis Championships is still unsurpassed. And the current leader, while closer to the fans, seems to have lost some of the awe-inspiring elements.
Of course, it is undeniable that the affinity of modern leaders does provide more opportunities for fans to interact. Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and other players frequently interact with fans, making fans feel closer. But does this mean that they don't need that kind of aura that surpasses everything in sports?
The challenges in the future are all-round for national table tennis players. Not only do you need to be technically better, but you also need to be more physically competent. Leaders need to constantly improve and adapt to the requirements of different events, not only to get better results, but also to make a deeper impression in the hearts of fans.
To sum up, the process of national table tennis players participating in the winter physical fitness competition not only reveals their outstanding performance in different events, but also highlights the challenges of the leading players in physical fitness and aura. The concept of the past has been broken, and the diverse body types of modern players are presented, which makes people look forward to the development of national table tennis in the future.
However, new controversies have crept along the way. Is the affinity of modern leaders really able to compensate for their lack of aura, and is the nature of sports changing because of closer relationships?
Perhaps, we can look at this physical competition from another angle. This may not only be an event, but also a challenge, a subversion of traditional perceptions. In the future, national table tennis may go to new heights because of this game, and may continue to adjust its pace in the midst of controversy. This competition allowed us to see the momentum of change and continuous progress of national table tennis, but it also triggered deep thinking about the nature of sports competition.
