The 2024 Macau World Cup is about to start on April 15, and the national table tennis women's team has added a new rule to the Olympic selection regulations, which will undoubtedly put heavy pressure on the women's team psychologically and directly test the big hearts of the players.
A few words about this regulation
1. Members of the women's team who lose international matches in the Macau World Cup and the Saudi Grand Slam in May will be deducted 3,000 points;
2. The selected members must complete the Macau World Cup and the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam in May, and must not quit halfway, or they will not be able to get injured, otherwise they will directly miss the Paris Olympics.
The national table tennis coaching staff said: The women's team players selected for the Paris Olympic Games must have a strong sense of the overall situation, a high external victory rate, excellent results in the competition and strong psychological pressure resistance.
According to the current situation of the women's team, Sun Yingsha's first women's singles has no suspense.
The competition for the second women's singles in national table tennis was launched between Wang Manyu and Chen Meng, and it has been "white-hot". It can be said that the new rules mean that Wang Manyu and Chen Meng are a little "rectified to death".
These two new rules have sparked heated discussions among netizens, and many fans believe that the new rules are not particularly beneficial to the 30-year-old Chen Meng. Chen Meng is older, and his recent form has also declined, and there are also examples of retiring due to injury and losing several foreign wars in 2023.
In contrast, Wang Manyu's performance in foreign battles has been relatively stable, although she has also suffered from injuries, but she is younger and more physical.
There are pros and cons, striking iron needs its own hardness. If you have the ability to get tickets to the Olympics, I believe that the fans will not say anything.
Sun Yingsha vows to win the championship in this World Cup, and Wang Manyu is also ashamed, Wang Yidi wants to prove himself, the competition in women's table tennis is really fierce!
