Fan Zhendong is known as a legend in the table tennis world, but his recent performance has been unsatisfactory, causing fans to worry. In the face of all kinds of doubts and speculations, Fan Zhendong finally cleared up his doubts a few days ago and admitted that his state had declined due to personal reasons.
Since the second half of 2022, the star player of the Chinese table tennis team, Fan Zhendong, seems to have slowed down. Not only has he repeatedly failed to hit the championship in international competitions, but he has even faced many challenges in domestic competitions. Fan Zhendong did not disclose the specific reason for the trough, but there are two mainstream explanations.
One explanation suggests that Fan Zhendong's use of black headbands had a significant impact. Since the fourth quarter of 2022, he has often worn a black headband in competitions, but the results have not been satisfactory. Therefore, it is believed that the black headband may cause disadvantages and even directly affect the outcome of the competition. However, this view is still controversial.
Another explanation focuses on Fan's physical condition. In recent years, Xiaopang has been overly tired, and his body has gradually become fat, weighing more than 160 pounds. The change in posture made him unable to move on the field and seemed to be lacking in vitality. Many people have questioned whether Fan Zhendong has too many problems.
A recent remark sparked heated discussions, and Fan Zhendong said that he was not subject to the "CP" in the team. Some analysts have pointed out that this may be a hint that he has an off-team partner. As soon as this statement came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention on social media. However, Fan Zhendong did not respond to this.
At the end of 2023, Fan Zhendong was ill for a long time and withdrew from the Table Tennis Super Finals. This series of events has made Fan Zhendong's physical condition much attention. Many people believe that Fan Zhendong needs to lose weight to improve his physical fitness. It can be inferred from this that Fan Zhendong's current frailty and lack of training motivation may be the main reason for this downturn.
On the first day of the first lunar month, Fan Zhendong solemnly announced his return through Weibo. He made it a point not to be overly emotionally involved with the team members. This remark aroused heated discussions among netizens, and people hoped that he could actively cope with difficulties and return to the top.
It is worth noting that Fan Zhendong recently deleted his previous remarks that he was not a "CP" in the team. Some speculate that he has thought clearly and is in a stable state of mind, determined to reinvent himself to improve his competitive form. Faced with the balance between health and actual combat, he was frustrated but also more clearly adjusted the direction.
Although Fan Zhendong was repeatedly questioned and troubled, he always believed in his own strength and gradually recovered his vitality to show his strength. I believe that he can adjust his condition and continue to pursue his glory. Table tennis fans have worked hard to accompany him through the difficult times, and we look forward to the world-class young player continuing to create more miracles in the future.
