Men's award ceremony: The players smiled brightly, Ma Long kissed the trophy and took a happy photo with Sun Yingsha

The 2024 ITTF Singles World Cup has come to an end. The national table tennis team members performed well in this event, winning two individual championships and runners-up, as well as two third places.

In the men's singles final, Ma Long once again showed miracles. Lin Gaoyuan won the first three games. Unexpectedly, Lin Gaoyuan suddenly felt out of order, and Ma Long showed his strong skills and strong psychological quality, won four games in a row, and won 4-3, staging a super reversal.

Lin Gaoyuan's psychological quality is still too poor. In the men's singles final of the WTT Budapest Championship in July 2022, Lin Gaoyuan won four games in a row by Zhang Benzhihe after winning three games first, and Lin Gaoyuan was relegated to the runner-up.

In this World Cup, Lin Gaoyuan swept Tomokazu Zhang 4-0 in the semifinals, avenging his previous loss to his opponent. Unexpectedly, in the final, he was magically reversed by Ma Long. Lin Gaoyuan is really embarrassed.

The moment he won the championship, Malone was very excited. Malone threw away his racket and raised his hands in celebration wildly.

Malone is 35 years old and his form has declined. It's been a long time since he's won an international men's singles title. Unexpectedly, in a major event like the World Cup, he defeated high-level players such as F. Lebrun, Hayasuke Togami, Wang Chuqin, and Lin Gaoyuan to win the men's singles championship. Ma Long is really a god! He deserves to be a hexagonal warrior and the GOAT of table tennis!

This is Ma Long's third World Cup men's singles title. In addition, he has 30 major championships, 6 more than Wang Nan, far more than other players. Malone's saga continues.

The award ceremony was held after the game.

After Japanese table tennis player Tomokazu Zhang put on the podium, he kept smiling. Like his sister Zhang Benmeihe, he won the third place and was very satisfied with the result.

Wang Chuqin, who also won the third place, was somewhat dissatisfied. In order to do well in this event, he gave up the Incheon Championship. His goal was naturally to win the World Cup men's singles championship, but he didn't expect to even make it to the final. He was a little lost, but still calm.

When the guests presented him with an award, Wang Chuqin smiled, looked very gentlemanly and polite.

Lin Gaoyuan once again led by three games, but was won by the opponent in four games in a row and missed the championship. This time it's the World Cup again. Losing the World Cup men's singles championship is a big loss. Lin Gaoyuan's eyes were empty, and he still didn't come out of the defeat.

When the guests came over, Lin Gaoyuan showed a polite smile.

Ma Long, who won the championship, smiled brightly. It's been a long time since he's won the men's singles title. Can you not be happy that he has won the men's singles title again, and that he has won the men's singles championship at the World Cup, which is very important? Malone's legend continues. When will he retire? Is it necessary to retire like this Ma Long? He can play for a few more years and enjoy the game. Fans can also enjoy more of the Dragons' performances.

Marlon kisses the trophy and enjoys a moment of happiness.

Malone raised the trophy and enjoyed the warm applause of the audience.

When the four players took a group photo together, they all smiled happily and peacefully. That's what sports need to look like. Do your best when playing. After the game, just enjoy the game.

At the last moment, the organizer called Sun Yingsha to the podium and took a photo with Ma Long. Sun Yingsha raised her mobile phone to take pictures, Ma Long lowered her head and took a photo with Sun Yingsha, who was a junior generation.

The two champions have big smiles. The 2024 Singles World Cup has come to a successful conclusion.
