News on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, Beijing time. It's the Year of the Dragon. Ma Long said with a smile in an interview at the beginning of the year: It's the year of my birth, and I will at least wear a red one at the beginning of the year, which is auspicious. Yes, the Dragons, born in 1988, are about to turn 36. And Sun Yingsha, who was born in 2000, and Wang Chuqin, also ushered in their natal year this year. They are also dragons at the age of 24, not only have the youth and love to play at this age, but also have the maturity and courage that this age does not have!
Before the Paris Olympics in July, the Chinese national table tennis team will participate in five consecutive major competitions, namely the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, South Korea in February, the Singapore Grand Slam in March, the WTT Incheon in March, the Macau World Cup in April, and the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam in May. In June, there may be some races that you are not sure to participate in. In July and August, it is a fierce competition on the banks of the Seine. The significance and responsibility of the Olympic year for China's national table tennis is reflected in every player. Let's take a look at Sasha's preparations: Entering 2024, Sun Yingsha will go all out.
Sun Yingsha is ready, from the beginning of the Olympic year, she has no sense of disobedience, and directly connects the good state of the previous years to this year, and even more sublimation. Let's take a look at the 4 competitions this year, Sun Yingsha's 4 beautiful moments. There is a reason why so many fans like this little girl.
1, World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, South Korea. The Chinese national table tennis team may not have expected that the players from the two neighboring countries in Asia would issue extreme challenges. They are also sprinting for the Olympics, and they are also very hard-working. The Chinese men's team encountered a stubborn sniper from the South Korean team, and the Chinese team went all out to win 3-2. The Chinese women's team encountered the Japanese team's desperate attack and defense. After Sun Yingsha defeated Miwa Zhang 3-0 in the first set, Chen Meng unexpectedly lost to Hina Hayada 1-3 in the second set. The third set was in trouble, Wang Yidi lost 0-3 to Miyu Hirano, and the women's team fell behind 1-2. If you lose again at this time, the national table tennis will lose the gold medal!
At the critical moment, Sun Yingsha was not afraid, did not flinch, and directly defeated Hina Hayada 3-0, giving Chen Meng a chance, and Chen Meng then defeated Miwa Zhang Ben 3-0. After the Chinese women's team won the —— game, there was a moment of "friendship": Chen Meng said with tears in her eyes: If the responsibility for losing is too great, thank my teammates—— Sasha saw her sister crying, and she was also very emotional, and said: Okay!
Sasha has a friendship
2. Singapore Grand Slam. There are three Grand Slams that have been confirmed this year: Singapore, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Beijing, China. In Singapore, the Chinese team has gained a lot, the men's singles championship belongs to Wang Chuqin, the women's singles champion belongs to Wang Manyu, and the men's doubles champion belongs to Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan. The women's doubles champion belongs to Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, and the mixed doubles champion belongs to: Shatou Combination!
Yes, there are many competitions this year, but there are more singles and teams, and there are fewer mixed doubles events. And Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin's excellent performance and tacit understanding all reassured the fans! The group photo of the two of them after winning the championship, the "cute" post-00s cute and cute combination, also turned netizens —— Tokyo Olympics, the mixed doubles gold medal was lost, so the Paris Olympics, mixed doubles gold medal, we are the strongest!

3, WTT Incheon Station. This stop is a "retest" for the past two stops, and once again look back at the opponent's new tactical changes. Fan Zhendong won consecutive victories over Matsushima Terukora and Tomokazu Zhangmoto. Ma Long won consecutive victories over Lin Zhongxun and Lin Yunru. Liang Jingkun defeated Simon Goetz in a row, Hugo, Chen Meng defeated Zhang Benmeihe, Szokos, Wang Manyu defeated Zheng Yijing and Tian Zhixi in a row.
Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan did not come to participate in this stop. One of the highlights of the Incheon station was the pre-game press conference and banquet, where the Chinese team made a "beautiful appearance": our sa sha was painted with light makeup. A little vermilion is just right. A little bit of powder, no more, no less. Sasha is more heroic in the arena, but in fact, in life, she is a beautiful and handsome girl!

4. Macau World Cup. ——At this time, the national table tennis team was already a little tired. Especially in this event, a full week, continuous fierce battles, to the final semi-finals, in the finals, all rely on willpower! And Sun Yingsha faced Chen Meng in the semi-finals, and when she faced Wang Manyu in the finals, there were crisis scenes in a row: Chen Meng lost 1-11, and Wang Manyu once fell behind 1-3!
Unexpectedly, this time Sasha gave birth to a new picture: sitting on a billboard, facing the fans who like her, thinking, calming, resting, and accumulating energy. Drink saliva, wipe sweat, look tired but can't see any flaws, tired but full of explosive power. Two bad battles, Sasha not only left two classic victories. It also left this "full of tenacity" picture.
