On the 13th, the official website of the Table Tennis Association released the "Announcement of the Chinese Table Tennis Association on Optimizing and Adjusting the Selection Measures for the National Table Tennis Women's Team to Participate in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games".
However, according to the announcement, in fact, the first choice of the Olympic women's singles is basically determined Sun Yingsha, whether it is the results of the foreign association, or the world ranking, Sun Yingsha has locked an Olympic women's singles and team quota.
The key is in this second choice, because Li Falcon has made it clear that Wang Yidi was excluded from the Olympic singles list, so who should be selected by Wang Manyu and Chen Meng has become the biggest problem, starting from the selection of the Olympic quota, the Table Tennis Association has been revised many times on the selection method of the Paris Olympic Games.
According to the current selection criteria, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng still need to compete. However, the Table Tennis Association's approach makes people feel that it is a huge grass stage team, not only the selection criteria are inconsistent with the standards of the International Olympic Committee, but also the men's and women's teams are inconsistent. The candidates selected by such a selection method, regardless of their strength, will eventually be difficult to convince the public.
Coupled with the Aruna salary bargaining incident caused by the World Table Tennis Federation some time ago, whether it is the International Table Tennis Federation or the Chinese Table Tennis Association, in the past two years, the degree of commercialization has increased dramatically, and the money is abundant, but the management level is difficult to convince the public. No matter who ultimately represents the national table tennis in the Paris Olympics, or hopes that the Table Tennis Association can do a good job in logistics support, reduce internal friction, and maintain the best condition for the athletes, so who do you think the revision of the selection method issued by the Table Tennis Association is intended to protect?
