The 2024 Table Tennis World Cup has ended, and the national table tennis has returned to China.
ITTF President Petra Sorin said it was very emotional to listen to the cheers of Sun Yingsha as she competed in the stadium. Seeing the crowd support her in the game and the way she gives back to the fans on the pitch is a great example for young players.
National table tennis head coach Li Falcon summarized the performance of the national table tennis players in an interview, saying: overall our performance is still relatively satisfied, to achieve the expected goal, it is not necessary to include the top four, the championship and foreign war is the most important investigation, the performance of the women's team is not as good as the men's team, in terms of results, all 6 members of the men's team advanced to the top 16, and the women's team did not qualify, and the number of games lost was more than that of the men's team.
3 players I think can achieve perfection, full score, Sun Yingsha makes many fans like, domineering and confident on the field, innate, and difficult for opponents to surpass her.
Wang Manyu is also a full score performance, especially the elimination of Japan's two main forces in the foreign war, and it is also a contribution to the national table tennis championship to reduce obstacles, this runner-up is not to lose the championship, and the tenacity and will quality of the game process are worth learning.
Malone once again made me re-recognize and admire him, a very great athlete, you never know when he will burst out again and play at the top.
And Lin Gaoyuan must affirm his breakthrough, but it is not the first time that the 3-0 lead has been reversed, and it has fallen short, unfortunately in the final, in addition to the opponent, there are also factors of their own play, and the group stage is also tied by Puka, which also shows that Lin Gaoyuan is chasing the problem, and he still needs to learn from Ma Long in many aspects.
As the only non-main force of the women's team, and it is also a young player, the minimum goal of the round of 16 has not been completed, and the technical and competition temperament still need to continue to work hard.
In addition, Liang Jingkun and Wang Yidi both lost foreign wars, especially Wang Yidi lost to the main Japanese team, which is not up to standard, and the game mentality needs to be adjusted.
As far as the current table tennis competition is concerned, the national table tennis men's team has more opponents, and the distribution of associations is more scattered, not only from Asia, but also many strong opponents in Europe, the women's team is mainly a few main players in Japan, their young players have a strong impact, and South Korea and individual European players have a certain competitiveness.
In the past year, the competition of the national table tennis men's team has taken turns, a year ago this time was Fan Zhendong's world, Grand Slam, Championships, World Table Tennis Championships won the championship in a row, and then Wang Chuqin gradually broke out in the second half of last year, won the Asian Games and the Star Competition, until this year's finals, star games, and Grand Slams continued to win the championship.
Liang Jingkun also reached the finals some time ago, and won the championship of the Incheon Championships, came to the Macau World Cup, Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan suddenly broke out, the two of them lost early in the Singapore Grand Slam in March, so it can be seen that the main force of national table tennis is taking turns to exert power.
The women's team is basically still Sun Yingsha's world, Chen Meng has reached the semifinals and finals many times, but she missed the championship, Wang Manyu won the championship last year, the Asian Championships, and this year's Grand Slam champion, and Sun Yingsha is behind head-on.
