At present, the Macau World Cup is underway, and at present, Ma Long, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Manyu, and Sun Yingsha are playing well, and finally winning the men's and women's singles championships in advance in the finals. This means that the national table tennis has once again become the biggest winner of this competition.
And as the situation of this World Cup has basically been decided, it will also have a very big impact on the list of national table tennis follow-up Paris Olympics. First of all, before the start of this World Cup, the Olympic list of national table tennis is basically like this, first of all, in singles, the outside world generally believes that the men's singles is led by Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong, plus Ma Long will compete in the team competition. In women's singles, Sun Yingsha and first sister Chen Meng are basically Sun Yingsha and first sister Chen Meng, plus Wang Manyu competes in the team competition. These six main forces will join hands to compete in the Paris Olympics and win glory for the country.
As a result, I didn't expect that there was a major reshuffle in this World Cup, some of the main players of national table tennis who were pinned on high hopes were not able to play well, and some core players who were not expected to play very well in this competition, which impressed the coaching staff, which will undoubtedly affect the next Olympic roster arrangement.
First of all, in this women's singles competition, Chen Meng was very sorry to lose to Sun Yingsha in the semifinals and missed the championship. Wang Manyu withstood the pressure and successively defeated Zhang Benmei and other masters of foreign associations to advance to the finals, competing for the championship with Sun Yingsha. In such a situation, Wang Manyu is much higher than Chen Meng in terms of Olympic points first, and on the other hand, her recent super good performance will also impress the coaching staff. Therefore, the outside world generally believes that Wang Manyu has a great possibility to replace Chen Meng and get this Olympic women's singles ticket.
On the other hand, Fan Zhendong also received bad news after losing to Lin Gaoyuan in this game. Fans and media people are generally not optimistic about the future of Fan Zhendong's Paris Olympics, because from last year to now, he has not won the men's singles championship for almost 300 days, and he has lost to teammates Lin Shidong and Lin Gaoyuan in the last two world championships. In such a situation, compared with Ma Long's recent super good performance, defeating masters such as the world's No. 1 Wang Chuqin one after another, some fans speculate that Ma Long may be able to get a ticket to the men's singles of the Paris Olympics next.
After all, we know very well that although the national table tennis coaching staff needs to build an echelon, they must also keep the gold medal in the Paris Olympics. Under the current circumstances, Fan Zhendong is indeed not safe, and after comprehensive consideration, it cannot be ruled out that the coaching staff will temporarily change the decision to let Ma Long and Wang Chuqin compete in the Olympic singles competition, while Fan Zhendong will compete in the team competition.
In such a situation, the overall Olympic list of national table tennis is estimated to have undergone a lot of changes, compared with the previous speculation of the outside world, there is a big reversal, and Ma Long has the opportunity to compete for three rounds of Grand Slam, which is undoubtedly a very powerful achievement.
Of course, these lists are only personal speculations at present, and what kind of list the national table tennis will use to compete in the Paris Olympics will be subject to the list announced by the coaching staff headed by Liu Guoliang.
