Recently, the Chinese team is preparing for the World Cup in Macau, which will start on April 15 in the middle of this month, and for these main players, in addition to competing for high prize money, they will also hope to get more Olympic points and prepare for the Paris Olympics.
Judging from this year's competition schedule, there will be a Saudi Grand Slam tournament to compete in after this competition, and the final stage for the final battle is the Paris Olympics. Therefore, for the main players such as Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong, they are naturally looking forward to adjusting their condition and achieving good results.
It is worth noting that as the Macau World Cup and the Paris Olympics are approaching, just recently, official media held a voting event to select the most anticipated athletes for the Paris Olympics in the hearts of fans. It can be seen from the voting data released by the official media that the top two this time are Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, and their votes are far ahead of Fan Zhendong, who is ranked third.
First of all, Sun Yingsha's current votes have exceeded 50,000, while Wang Chuqin's votes have exceeded 35,000, and now she is running for 40,000. Such statistics are enough to prove that in this poll, there are as many as 100,000 fans who support the two players, believing that they are the most anticipated players of the Paris Olympics. Although Fan Zhendong ranked third, his votes were only 6,234 votes, which is indeed very different from the data of the other two post-00s in national table tennis.
From this point, it can be seen that Fan Zhendong has not been able to win the singles championship for most of the past six months, which has dealt a great blow to his overall influence. Of course, judging from the data and performance of the past two years, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha can win the major awards of the Olympic Games, which is actually deserved.
First of all, since the end of the Tokyo Olympics, Sun Yingsha has frequently topped the women's singles world championship in the past two years, compared to the first sister Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha has now become a small demon king, and she can defend her honor for the women's singles every time at a critical moment. So it can be said that now Sun Yingsha is a veritable first sister of the Chinese team, and her strength is beyond doubt. If there are no special circumstances, Sun Yingsha has a high probability of winning the women's singles championship at the Paris Olympics this year, so you might as well wait and see.
On the other hand, Wang Chuqin has grown very fast in the past two years, and since winning the championship in the 2022 Macau Championship, he has been out of control. It can be said that now Wang Chuqin has won the world's No. 1 ranking, which is indeed well deserved. With such influence, it is natural that they can get the support and love of so many fans this time.
I hope they will do well in the next World Cup events, strive to win the highest honor at this year's Paris Olympics, and repay the support and trust of the fans.
