At the end of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, the Chinese team was still the winner, and Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha won the title of best player
On February 25, with Ma Long's 3-1 Simon Goetz of the French team, the Chinese men's team won the championship 3-0 French men's team, which is the 23rd time that the national table tennis has won the Swaythling Cup and the 11th consecutive championship of the national table tennis. The men's team final was not as thrilling as the women's team, Wang Chuqin easily defeated Felix Lebrun 3-0 in the first set, and Fan Zhendong met Alex Lebrun in the second set, falling behind 1-2 and reversing the match with Alex Lebrun getting the set point, which was really good. Then in the third set, Ma Long also defeated Simon Goetz in three consecutive games after falling behind 0-1 to seal the victory for the Chinese team, and the national table tennis team won the championship 3-0 France. In addition to the semi-finals, the national table tennis team and the South Korean team played very hard, and the Chinese men's team played quite well in other competitions.
The women's team encountered great difficulties in the first group stage against India and the last women's team final against Japan, but fortunately, they finally won the game. In the group stage, Sun Yingsha lost to Mukherjee, Wang Manyu won Batra in the second set, but then Wang Yidi lost to Akula, Sun Yingsha played again to defeat Batra to equalize, and then Wang Manyu won Mukherjee, and the national table tennis turned the danger into a disaster. In the women's team finals, everyone didn't expect Sun Yingsha to win Zhang Benmei and Chen Meng in the first set and lose to Hina Hayada in the second set, and then Wang Yidi lost to Miyu Hirano.
Even if Sun Yingsha loses, she is still the brightest player. In the final, she won two 3-0 victories over Japan's first and second singles, proving her own ability. Fan Zhendong made eight appearances, won all eight times, and scored two points against South Korea, and Sun Yingsha and Fan Zhendong deserved to be the best players. By the way, Fan Zhendong won the Victor Barna Award for the best male athlete, and the Diane Skell Award for the best female athlete, congratulations to Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha.
Overall, the Chinese team successfully defended the men's and women's team championships, and it is still a big winner, but the men's team has more opponents, while the women's team's main opponent is the Japanese team. The Japanese women's team has also made rapid progress, Hina Hayada has lost six previous matches with Chen Meng, but this time she broke through Chen Meng in the competition. Miu Hirano also won the main national table tennis player Wang Yidi in the competition. So even if they lost to the Chinese team in the final and won the runner-up, the Japanese women's team on the podium was still very happy. Because they see the hope of winning the team gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
I wish the national table tennis here, and I also hope that the national table tennis men's and women's teams will be prepared for danger in times of peace and maintain their victory!
