After the Incheon Championships, the ITTF updated the latest world rankings, and Wang Manyu continued to surpass Chen Meng to become second in the world. On the other hand, with the rich points of winning the runner-up this time, Wang Manyu also surpassed Chen Meng in the Olympic selection points to become the second in national table tennis.
According to this situation, Wang Manyu undoubtedly has a high probability of winning the women's singles seat in the National Table Tennis Olympics. Therefore, for Wang Manyu, the current situation is indeed very favorable to her, and it is worth being happy. However, just recently, with the International Table Tennis Federation updating an important event, it is an opportunity for Chen Meng to usher in a counterattack. For Wang Manyu, I'm afraid it's a little too early to be happy.
According to media reports, after the Incheon Championships, the national table tennis team will return to China and continue to prepare for the Macau World Cup from April 15 to 21. This competition has resumed after three years, and the points and rewards are very rich, and this event is also the last very important world competition before the national table tennis team announced the Olympic list. It is understood that the total prize money of this competition is as high as 1 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about 7.23 million yuan. On the other hand, the core players who win the championship will receive 1,500 points. If the national table tennis player wins the singles championship, he can get 3,000 Olympic selection points.
So this time the points are quite generous, and whoever can reach the top of the singles championship this time will basically lock the ticket to the Olympic singles. Therefore, for Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, the attraction is very great. For Wang Yidi, considering that she has been kicked out of the previous and has not been able to participate in the competition for the Olympic women's singles quota, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve good results in this competition, because she lacks a clear goal.
In this way, with this World Cup coming up, it is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Chen Meng to counterattack and prove himself. Judging from the Olympic selection points, although Wang Manyu surpassed Chen Meng to the second place in the women's team, judging from the specific points details, Wang Manyu is now less than 300 points ahead of Chen Meng. What does this mean? It means that Chen Meng has a chance to turn the tables at any time, and it means that as long as Chen Meng advances to the finals in this competition and gets high selection points, she will be able to get rid of Wang Manyu. From this point of view, there is still a very big opportunity for the first sister of national table tennis, so don't be discouraged.
Of course, since Chen Meng has the opportunity to turn the tables, Wang Manyu also has the opportunity to throw Chen Meng away from a long distance. So for Wang Manyu, this is also an opportunity to prove himself. In a previous interview with the media, Wang Manyu had reluctantly said that her chances to compete for the Paris Olympics ticket were getting fewer and fewer, and she had to rely on her own efforts to seize the opportunity, so this time the Macau World Cup is undoubtedly a very good opportunity for her. Since Wang Manyu achieved such good results in the previous Incheon Championship and almost won the championship, she undoubtedly has the strength and form to strive for the top in this World Cup this time.
In this way, whether it is for Chen Meng or Wang Manyu, the next time they participate in the Macau World Cup, they should put down all their previous honors, start from scratch again, and strive to have a good state and mentality to get good results, so that they can have the opportunity to realize their Olympic singles dreams in the future, I hope they can all cheer.
