At present, the Table Tennis World Cup is in full swing, and the pressure on national table tennis players to compete is very huge. It also tests the coaching staff's coaching ability. The original selection method of simply relying on world rankings and past results will only make the national table tennis fall into a vicious circle of eating the old book, and only by reusing players who are in better condition can the national table tennis continue to occupy a dominant position in the world table tennis arena. At present, with the deepening of the schedule, there are also continuous situations where national table tennis players have been eliminated, especially the situation of losing foreign wars, which has made the players participating in the national table tennis face huge results and public opinion pressure.
This year is the year of the Paris Olympics, and the national table tennis has also optimized the existing selection methods, paying more attention to the players' ability to fight abroad while attaching importance to the results and world rankings. With the current pattern of the national table tennis men's team, the position of post-00 player Wang Chuqin is very consolidated, and no one can challenge it.
But the competition after Wang Chuqin is very fierce, including Fan Zhendong and Ma Long. Even Liang Jingkun sees hope of competing for another Olympic singles spot. For this three-choice situation, the dominant one is undoubtedly the former world No. 1 Fan Zhendong, as the former leader of the national table tennis men's team, he has been ranked No. 1 in the world for a long time in the past many years.
He also participated in the Tokyo Olympics as a singles player, but unfortunately lost to his big brother Ma Long in the final, and missed the first Olympic singles championship of his career, so in the new Olympic cycle, Fan Zhendong's goal is to qualify for the Olympic singles and compete in the Olympic competition again.
Due to a mistake in the preparation strategy. Since the beginning of the previous year, in order to better prepare for the competition, Fan Zhendong has adopted the practice of giving up and participating in closed training camps, which has also made his state fluctuate, and this year he has lost the game in a row, resulting in his world ranking being surpassed by Wang Chuqin, not only that, but the state of good and bad has become an unfavorable factor for his competition.
Including the veteran Ma Long and Liang Jingkun, they have formed a strong impact on themselves, and now Ma Long, who has won the double Grand Slam record, is more out of a sense of professional honor and still sticks to the national table tennis team. There is less of a threat to himself, and Liang, who has never competed in an Olympic event in his career, has gradually become his strongest opponent. In the past, Ma Long had publicly stated that he would gradually fade out of national table tennis. Let Fan Zhendong's pressure be eased,
However, Liang's performance in two consecutive tournaments, from the runner-up in the Singapore Grand Slam to the gold medal in Incheon, proved his excellent form and consistent performance. has become the hottest player in national table tennis, and has also seen the dawn of competing for singles places, coupled with the appreciation and trust of Wang Hao, the head of the men's team. This has caused trouble to Fan Zhendong, so are you more optimistic about Fan Zhendong or Liang Jingkun being able to qualify for the Olympics? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
