On January 9, Beijing time, the Chinese table tennis team is participating in the WTT Star Challenge Doha in Doha, Qatar, this competition is the first international competition to enter the 2024 Olympic year, and this event has also attracted high-level players from all over the world to participate.
For the national table tennis women's team, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng and Wang Yidi, these players, must all hope to win the final women's singles championship, but for these players, everyone's level is equal, who can win this championship means that they have a good start to the new year, and can win more championships in the future, so as to lay the foundation for themselves to grab a women's singles ticket to the Paris Olympics, especially the veteran Chen Meng definitely wants to play another Olympic Games, but the current world ranking has slipped to fourth, Chen Meng must catch up.
If Chen Meng is inactive again in this Star Challenge, it is likely that the gap will be widened by the three teammates in front of him, and it will be more and more difficult for Chen Meng to participate in the Olympic Games。
In the past, similar public welfare activities would send Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha to participate, but this time the national table tennis officially appointed Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu as the public welfare ambassadors of the table tennis on campus, and the two entered the experimental middle school of Beijing Normal University as the representative of the players, and had a discussion and interaction with the members of the school's table tennis club, and the head coach of the national table tennis women's team Ma Lin also went to the scene to help.
In this event, the national table tennis women's team appointed Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu as player representatives to participate, implying that Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu's current status in the national table tennis women's team is relatively high, and the influence and popularity are also the largest, Ma Lin also approved and supported this decision, Chen Meng regretted not being able to participate in this public welfare activity, for Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu should also understand the significance of this event, as well as the responsibility and mission of serving as table tennis public welfare ambassadors on campus, I believe that the two will go all out in the new cycle to achieve more brilliant honors for national table tennis。
