Dear fans, are you also eager to get the results of the AIPS2023 best athlete list?
As Chinese, we must be most concerned about the performance of Chinese athletes.
Let me reveal the list right away and share my thoughts with you!
Sun Yingsha and Fan Zhendong's ranking in the list of the best athletes in 2023
Without further ado, let's take a look at the specific data. Among the 73 finalists announced this time, only three Chinese players were shortlisted, namely: double table tennis champions Sun Yingsha and Fan Zhendong, and swimmer Qin Haiyang.
Among them, Sun Yingsha ranked 21st with 53 votes, and Fan Zhendong ranked 33rd with 24 votes.
Although neither of them made it to the top 20, it was not easy for them to make it to this global authoritative list.
Introduction to the list of the best athletes
So how much weight does this list of the best athletes have? It is organized by the International Association of Sports Journalists, which brings together 405 sports journalists from 107 countries and territories.
Arguably, this is one of the most representative and authoritative lists in the sports circle.
Among the countless athletes around the world, only 73 can be shortlisted. Therefore, the list itself represents a high international visibility and influence.
Top three male and female athletes in 2023
There are different rankings for the men's and women's categories. Let's take a look at who the first athlete was.
The top three finalists in the women's category were: American gymnast Simon Biles, Kenyan middle-distance runner Kipyegon Faith and Spanish footballer Bonmati Aitana.
The top three in the men's category are: Serbian tennis king Novak Djokovic, Swedish benchmark Duplantis and Argentine legend Lionel Messi.
The significance of Sun Yingsha and Fan Zhendong being on the list
In the face of the sweep of the old Western powers and traditional projects, the shortlisting of the table tennis duo can be described as a strong alliance and a certain glory for China. The outside world values prize money and commercial value, and the rewards of table tennis events are not high, so it is not easy for them to be selected.
This marks an increase in table tennis' international influence. I hope that in 2024, Chinese table tennis can make greater achievements!
Looking forward to the development of table tennis in 2024
In the coming year, the ITTF and WTT should continue to increase their efforts to promote table tennis. Plan well to attract more young people to join the family. Improve the marketization and entertainment of table tennis, enrich the form of the event, and expand the international influence!
I firmly believe that with the strong support of the two sessions, China's table tennis industry will reach new heights!
Some netizens said: I hope that this year, our table tennis duo can beat Western celebrities and enter the top 10!
Some netizens said: There is indeed a gap in strength, and China needs to start from youth training and cultivate more world firsts!
Some netizens said: Don't pay attention to business, only ask about technology! Our Chinese table tennis has never lacked powerful players!
It can be seen that fans generally hope that Chinese table tennis can achieve greater achievements. I think business and entertainment are great for sports, but technology is the key. Therefore, we must not only improve our market influence, but also devote ourselves to solid basic training. This will require the concerted efforts of the sports community, the business community and the government.
Finally, let's look forward to the arrival of the 2024 French Open and see what amazing new records our two heroes will create!
