The 2024 Macau World Cup has ended for 2 days, and the national table tennis players have summarized one after another, and the 36-year-old veteran Ma Long is very excited and posted photos of himself winning the World Cup gold medal for the third time in a row. It can be seen that he has won the World Cup 3 times in 12 years, and this time should be the most precious, and he can still stand on the top podium of men's singles at the end of his career, Ma Long is indeed worthy of respect. I don't know if Ma Long will get the Olympic singles quota, if you look at the World Cup performance, he is indeed eligible to participate, and his results are better than Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong.
Sun Yingsha reversed Wang Manyu in the final, she was also very happy, "Thank you to everyone who cheered for us, thank you to the team side by side, thank you to the best of us, we will see you in the next arena." Chen Meng and Wang Manyu have not updated social media for the time being, and the two of them are competing for another singles spot in women's singles, it is worth mentioning that Chen Meng and Wang Manyu lost to Sun Yingsha in the Macau World Cup. Sasha is like Zhang Yining back then, she is definitely the big devil on the court, and she reversed her teammate Wang Manyu in one fell behind 1-3, showing her big heart.
And on the afternoon of April 23, Lin Gaoyuan finally updated social media, when Ma Long created a miracle to complete the reversal, Lin Gaoyuan became the biggest background emperor, and was reversed in the case of a 3-0 lead, which will be remembered by the outside world for a long time, and it is still on the final stage. Moreover, in the hearts of the national table tennis coaching staff, it may also leave the impression that Lin Gaoyuan's ability to resist pressure is not strong, and it will be more difficult for Lin Gaoyuan to compete for Olympic quotas in the future. Judging from Lin Gaoyuan's dynamics, losing to Ma Long in the final hit him too hard, and he smiled during the group photo, just to hide his frustration, or to force a smile, his heart was actually very lost.
Lin Gaoyuan first expressed his attitude towards life, "Life is for experience, not for deducing perfection, allowing oneself to be imperfect is the beginning of perfection." Then, Lin Gaoyuan used negative words such as gloomy, sluggish, and mediocre to describe himself, which seemed to be a bit too extreme, and Lin Gaoyuan also admitted frankly that he hoped to reconcile with himself.
"Slowly accept the dark parts of yourself, forgive yourself for being dull and mediocre, allow yourself to make mistakes, allow yourself to occasionally lose power, and bloom desperately with regrets, this is the only way to reconcile with yourself, it is difficult for us to do everything well, let people live without any regrets, just do our best! The most perfect state is not that you never make mistakes, but that you never give up on growth." Lin struggled to convince himself to accept the reversal at the World Cup, but the more it did, the more it showed that he cared.
In fact, it is understandable that this is the first time that Lin Gaoyuan is so close to the World Cup singles championship, although he will definitely not participate in the singles competition at the Paris Olympics, but if he can win the World Cup gold medal, I believe it will be a great achievement for him. Lin Gaoyuan is 29 years old this year, and he is not young either, he has won the Asian Cup men's singles championship and the WTT Star Challenge men's singles championship in his career, but Lin Gaoyuan has not won a heavyweight event like the World Cup. Next, I hope that Lin Gaoyuan will adjust his mentality and prepare for the Saudi Grand Slam in early May.
