The national table tennis won 5 championships and 4 runners-up. The multinational duo of Diaconu and Xiao Yaoqian won the remaining runner-up.
The Japanese table tennis and Korean table tennis that sent many team members to participate in the competition did not receive any grains.
Wang Chuqin won 2 championships and 1 runner-up, becoming the biggest winner. Sun Yingsha won 2 championships, which is also very good. Lin Shidong won 2 runners-up, which is neither good nor bad.
On the last day of the competition, the medal ceremonies for mixed doubles, men's singles and women's singles were held.
In the mixed doubles final, Lin Shidong/Kuo Man lost 2-3 to Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha and was the runner-up. In fact, they have a lot of chances to win this game. Therefore, they are a little unconvinced. Of course, they can only blame themselves for not playing well.
When they got on the podium, they were obviously not very happy and a little lost. Especially Kuo Man, with a black face, his disappointment was overflowing.
After Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha stepped onto the podium, they were also expressionless and even a little restrained. The two defeated their teammates to win the championship, and they didn't dare to have a happy expression, let alone celebrate.
When the four of them took a group photo together, they were also expressionless and too serious. Lin Shidong is a little more natural.
A similar situation was encountered at the Women's Singles Awards Ceremony.
In the past year, Chen Meng has lost to Sun Yingsha many times, and she has been depressed. This time she lost to Sun Yingsha again, and Chen Meng was naturally unhappy. Especially Chen Meng has no way to take Sun Yingsha, and the gap has widened. Chen Meng was embarrassed and annoyed. Chen Meng was not happy, and Sasha was not happy either. In fact, she wanted to take pictures with a smile, but she wanted to take care of Chen Meng's emotions, so her facial expression was weird.
When Sun Yingsha accepted the award, Chen Meng, who was standing in the audience, was expressionless and his eyes were dull, probably still thinking about the final.
Chen Meng is not small. If you don't adjust your condition, it will be difficult to achieve good results in the future. Big dreams are also in a hurry.
In the final men's singles final, Wang Chuqin defeated Lin Shidong to win the championship. Lin Shidong once again settled in second place. He was a little unhappy when he won the mixed doubles runner-up. However, Lin Shidong is quite happy to win the men's singles runner-up. When Lin Shidong took a group photo with Wang Chuqin, a smile appeared on his face, and he was even a little happy.
Wang Chuqin also showed a rare happy smile. If you win the championship, you should be happy.
