The prize money is a bit "low", the Doha Star Challenge is about to start, and the list of participants has been announced
These figures only represent the individual income of the athletes, and the actual distribution of bonuses also needs to take into account many factors such as coaches, staff, the Table Tennis Association and the General Administration of Sports, and the specific distribution plan is still unknown. Some netizens have expressed their opinions, pointing out that the bonus of the entire team is dwarfed by the income of a singer artist in a performance or an advertisement. But this phenomenon is actually closely related to the market mechanism. The relatively low prize money in table tennis is mainly due to the dominance of national table tennis in this field, and there are almost no sponsors from other countries other than Chinese sponsors. This market monopoly has led to a relatively low level of bonuses
Compared with table tennis, the prize level of badminton is several times higher, and the prize money of tennis is several times higher than that of badminton. Football is even higher than tennis in terms of prize money. It is important to note that not all athletes' prize money is maintained at a low level, it is only a phenomenon in this specific area of table tennis. What's more noteworthy is that the Doha Star Challenge will be held on January 8, adding a touch of anticipation to this table tennis event
The national table tennis entry list includes men's singles: Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Shidong, Zhou Qihao, Yuan Licen (qualifying round), women's singles: Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, Zhang Rui, Kuo Man, Men's Doubles: Ma Long/Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan/Lin Shidong, Liang Jingkun/Yuan Licen, Women's Doubles: Wang Manyu/Chen Meng, Zhang Rui/Kui Man, Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi, Mixed Doubles: Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, Lin Shidong/Kuo Man, Wang Manyu/Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun/Qian Tianyi
For athletes, a tight game schedule can lead to physical and mental exhaustion. In January, there will be events such as the WTT Regular Challenge (14-20 January) and the WTT India Stars Challenge (23-28 January). This series of matches has undoubtedly brought great challenges to the players. Despite the tight schedule, players were able to play instead of training to improve their game in the midst of intense competition. This way of training by competition can not only allow players to constantly summarize and revise their skills and tactics in actual combat, but also improve their game experience and adaptability
Moreover, the exciting matches of this WTT Star Challenge will be broadcast on the Migu video platform
