At the Tokyo Olympics in Little Japan, Wang Manyu was lucky to replace Liu Shiwen and entered the Chinese women's table tennis team lineup.
After Wang Manyu performed well at the National Games and the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston, she was plagued by injuries before recovering her form recently and moving up to second place in the women's singles world rankings.
