On February 16, Beijing time, the Busan World Table Tennis Championships ended the first day of competition, the battle was very intense, the Chinese table tennis women's team narrowly defeated India 3-2, and the men's team won 3-0 and swept Belgium.
On the first day of the World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese women's team almost collapsed and lost to the Indian team, among which the Olympic champion Sun Yingsha lost to A. Mukherjee 1-3, and the world champion Wang Yidi lost 0-3 to Akula, but fortunately, Wang Manyu scored 2 points in a row (3-1 victory over Batra, 3-0 victory over Mukherjee), plus Sun Yingsha's 3-1 victory over Batra, the whole team finally staged a big comeback with a total score of 3-2, which is really unexpected!
Relatively speaking, the situation of the Chinese men's team is much more stable, although they are facing the old powerhouse, the former World Table Tennis Championships runner-up Belgian team, but the latter's glory has long been more than 20 years ago, this time after meeting Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long only won one game, and the national table tennis finally passed with a total score of 3-0.
Also winning big was the Japanese team, they beat Luxembourg 3-0 in their women's team debut, of which Hina Hayada and Miu Hirano won easily, while 15-year-old Zhang Benmei and Ni Xialian, who is also a clean sheet 60-year-old world champion, this 45-year-old "grandfather and grandson battle" also made fans sigh.
As for the Japanese men's team, they received a big gift, because Aruna, Nigeria's number one main player who was originally scheduled to play against them, and who had swept Tomokazu Zhangmoto, was forced to withdraw due to food poisoning, which made the whole team with only three participants insufficient, and finally sent the Japanese players to win without a fight.
The women's team of the host South Korean team won the first game easily, and swept the Italian team 3-0, of which Shin Yubin and Tian Zhixi were all clean opponents, and only Li Shiwen lost one game;
Next, the teams will continue to participate in the first stage of the group round-robin, and look forward to the performance of the national table tennis players getting better and better: come on!
