The Chinese table tennis team announced to the outside world today through the form of an official document and on the official website that we selected the selection criteria for the women's table tennis team for the Olympic Games. As we all know, starting from the Singapore Grand Slam, to the Incheon Champions Cup and the next World Cup and Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, these four competitions will be the final assessment standard before the Olympic Games.
Grand Slam matches, i.e. Singapore and Saudi Arabia, are deducted 3,000 points for losing an external match, and 1,000 points are deducted for a loss of an external battle in the Champions Cup. But there is no need to think about the Incheon Champions Cup anymore, because it has been played, and no Chinese player has lost to foreign players, so the next thing to see if there will be players who will lose the foreign war in the World Cup and Saudi Arabia Grand Slam. The point deduction rules of the Grand Slam are very simple, 3,000 points will be deducted if you lose, and the single-leg elimination system of this game will lose at most one foreign war, and the key is the deduction of points for the World Cup.
The World Cup is also 3,000 points for losing one foreign war, and 6,000 points for losing two foreign wars, because the World Cup has a group stage, so there is the possibility of losing two foreign wars in a group in a row, and losing two group games at the same time means that you will not qualify for the group, and another 3,000 points will be deducted. In other words, if you don't play well in the World Cup, you may have to deduct 9,000 points at once. So the next two races were the most extreme.
For example, a major player of the Chinese team lost both games in the group stage, and the first round of the Saudi Grand Slam also lost, and she will be deducted 12,000 points. Sun Yingsha really wants to play the outrageous record we just said, and she will be deducted 12,000 points, and behind her Wang Manyu, Chen Meng and Wang Yidi, the gap between them and her is more than 10,000 points, as long as they play well, they will all be able to surpass Sun Yingsha.
In short, if there is no point deduction system, Sun Yingsha is now leading off a cliff, she is already as many as 11,000 points ahead of the second place, and the next World Cup and Grand Slam games, the total points of the two games are only 4,000 points, even if Sun Yingsha does not participate in these two competitions, or if there is really a first-round loss, she will not be overtaken, but after adding this deduction, Sun Yingsha's qualification cannot be said to be 100%, so before there is a deduction, Sun Yingsha is actually booked to qualify for the Olympic Games in singles and team competitions, but after this deduction, theoretically, it cannot be said that Sun Yingsha has qualified for the Olympic Games. Of course, the extreme situation we mentioned earlier is basically impossible for Sun Yingsha to appear. Because in the Paris Olympic cycle, she has only lost two foreign battles in total, and the results of foreign battles are very stable.
Sun Yingsha already has the possibility of being eliminated theoretically, and Chen Xingtong, who is ranked first, originally only had more than 5,000 points, 7,000 points away from the cost of ranking third, even if she wins the World Cup and Grand Slam games, at most add 4,000 points, it will not surpass Chen Meng. But now that there is a point deduction system, if she won all these two games and scored 4,000 points, two of the three Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, and Wang Manyu have the extreme situation we mentioned earlier - 9,000 points will be deducted in addition to two foreign battles in the World Cup group stage, 3,000 points will be deducted for losing in Grand Slam foreign wars, and 12,000 points will be deducted, Wang Yidi, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng may even become 0 points directly, so now even Xingtong theoretically has the possibility of qualifying for the Olympic Games.
But let's be honest, these are only theoretical, just like the Chinese men's football team participating in the World Cup qualifiers, it is also possible to rush into the World Cup, but everyone knows that this probability is very small. Therefore, the current situation is that Sun Yingsha has basically qualified for the Olympic Games, and the qualifications for the other two teams and one singles will still be produced between Wang Manyu, Chen Meng and Wang Yidi.
