At present, the national table tennis is preparing for the Macau World Cup. There are only a few days left before the start of this game, and the main players are already ready to move, looking forward to the end of the good results.
After the Macau World Cup, the Chinese team will go to Saudi Arabia in May to participate in the Grand Slam competition, considering that the Chinese team will announce the list of the Olympic Games in May, so the personnel arrangements for the Macau World Cup and the Saudi Grand Slam are actually for the Paris Olympics.
After the previous Incheon Championships, Liang Jingkun beat Ma Long and Fan Zhendong to the top of the podium to win the men's singles title, and his world ranking also surpassed Ma Long to third. At that time, many fans thought that the next fat Olympic seat was completely stable, and he might even replace Ma Long as the three musketeers of national table tennis and compete in the Paris Olympics.
However, judging from the latest World Cup and Grand Slam list arrangements announced by the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Ma Long is still the one who carries the banner, and if there is no accident in the follow-up, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin will be the three main forces in the Paris Olympics.
First of all, it can be seen that in the list of the Macau World Cup, the 35-year-old Ma Long is impressively listed, and the coaching staff has not given up on him. In the men's doubles match of the subsequent Saudi Grand Slam, Ma Long once again partnered with Wang Chuqin in the singles and doubles matches. Normally, if Liang Jingkun will replace Ma Long in the Paris Olympics, then the coaching staff will definitely arrange for him and other main players of the men's team to train in advance in the Saudi Grand Slam tournament in advance, and strive to play well in the team competition.
Now that the coaching staff has arranged for Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin to partner in the men's doubles world No. 1 in advance, and now they have arranged for Ma Long and Wang Chuqin to partner in the last Grand Slam match before the Olympics, we are very clear about what their intentions are. Obviously, right, the big fat Malone has been recognized by the coaching staff with his stable performance, and he still has the mission to lead the national team to win all the championships in this Olympic Games.
Here I would like to congratulate Ma Long, as the soul pillar of our national table tennis, he has once again won the trust of the coaching staff. Of course, there is no need to be too discouraged for Da Fat, and when Ma Long finishes the mission of this Olympic Games, he still has a lot of hope to participate in the Olympics in the future. After all, there are not many main forces carrying the banner, and it will be Ma Long's turn to be fat.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Wang Chuqin once again shouldered the heavy responsibility of the national team this time, one person and three events are very hard as the previous Singapore Grand Slam matches, I hope he will work hard to protect his body and avoid injuries again.
In addition, considering that the singles Olympic quota has not yet been announced, these two tournaments will also be the final venues. Which main players can win the luxurious 3,000 Olympic points, who can get the Olympic singles ticket.
