With the end of the Macao Table Tennis Singles World Cup, the national table tennis Olympic points selection tournament has finally come to an end.
After the end of the Macau World Cup, the Olympic points of the Chinese table tennis players are as follows:
Men's Singles:
Wang Chuqin 22425 points
Fan Zhendong 17678 points
Malone 14535 points
Women's Singles:
Sun Yingsha 27650 points
Wang Manyu 14865 points
Chen Meng 13310 points
First of all, let's talk about the choice of the women's team, due to the current blowout of women's table tennis talents, in addition to Sun Yingsha sitting firmly in a singles seat, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu both have the opportunity to compete in the singles competition of the Olympic Games.
Not only that, but the Olympic points of the two are also very close, so the Macau Singles World Cup determines the last seat in the national table tennis women's singles event.
The final result of the game is also obvious to all, Chen Meng met Sun Yingsha in the semifinals in advance, and finally lost 2-4 to stop the finals, Wang Manyu defeated Zhang Benmeihe, and Sun Yingsha will meet in the finals, although it was reversed by Sun Yingsha in the end, but Wang Manyu's competitive strength is almost the same as Sun Yingsha, which will inevitably affect the choice of the Chinese Table Tennis Association.
Of course, some netizens said that if Chen Meng and Wang Manyu switch to one and a half districts and let Chen Meng play Zhang Benmeihe, then it should be Chen Meng who enters the finals.
Of course, we also need to admit that Wang Manyu got better luck, after the start of this World Cup, Chen Meng is only 210 points less than Wang Manyu, who can go further in the World Cup, who can grasp the initiative, now Wang Manyu has 1485 points more than Chen Meng, who can participate in the women's singles competition, the results are clear at a glance.
Chen Meng's state has not been very stable since the Tokyo Olympics won the championship, not only did not maintain the position of the first person in women's table tennis, but even gradually fell to the third place, as far as the current state of the two is concerned, Wang Manyu is indeed more suitable than Chen Meng to participate in the singles competition.
The men's singles candidates should have been clearer than the women's singles, after all, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin were completely unique before this year, so there is a high probability that the two of them will participate in the Olympic singles.
But who knows that Fan Zhendong's state is surprisingly poor this year, Singapore, Incheon, and Macau have not entered the semi-finals, but the young player Wang Chuqin has come from behind, not only surpassing Fan Zhendong in the world rankings to become the first, but also surpassing Fan Zhendong in the domestic Olympic Games selection points to become the first.
It is worth mentioning that Ma Long, as the captain of the national table tennis team, played well in the Macau World Cup and won the championship in one fell swoop, although the Olympic points are still in third place, there are many different voices on the Internet, and they have begun to let Ma Long replace Fan Zhendong to participate in the Olympic singles competition, the main reason is because Fan Zhendong's performance in the Paris Olympic cycle is too poor!
Fan Zhendong has not won any championship for nearly a year, and as the most promising athlete after Ma Long to take over the banner of "the first person in national table tennis", Fan Zhendong's performance has indeed worried countless fans.
Even so, Fan Zhendong is still in second place with the points he has accumulated, so there is a high probability that the men's singles quota for the Olympics is still Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin, and Ma Long will also partner Wang Chuqin to participate in the Olympic men's doubles competition.
This is indeed a pity for Ma Long, now Ma Long is 35 years old, the attitude of the national table tennis towards Ma Long is relatively free, there is no head coach, there is no specific arrangement, now the men's table tennis players are not stable, and they also need to cultivate new forces, although Ma Long is old and strong, but still needs to give way.
Throughout all competitive sports, the disadvantages brought by body and age cannot be ignored, for Ma Long, the Paris Olympics is probably his "last dance", but Ma Long's honor is enough for him to stay at the peak of national table tennis history.
According to the schedule of the national table tennis, on May 7, that is, during the Saudi Grand Slam, the points of the national table tennis men's team will be liquidated, no matter what the result is, we all hope that Chinese athletes can achieve good results in the Paris Olympics!
