The Paris 2024 Olympic Games table tennis events will be released in a best-of-seven format for the mixed doubles and singles events, with the exception of the Olympic team event that is a best-of-five format. This time, the use of P card players is deliberately regulated, and it does not mean that P card players can only change their use before the start of the team competition.
This time, the Paris Olympics will use P card players, and they can apply two hours before the start of each team event. This means that if the national table tennis wants to use P card players in the Olympic team competition, they can apply before the start of any team competition. This means that as long as the national table tennis players Kuo Man and Lin Shidong get the P card places, they will also have the opportunity to participate in the team competition of the Olympic Games.
Because Ma Long has already won the quota for the Olympic team event, the quota for the women's team event will most likely be Chen Meng. Whether it is Ma Long or Chen Meng, they are both veterans, and the instability of veterans is still limited physical fitness and reduced concentration in the game. At the same time, the advantages of the veteran are also obvious, and the game experience is very rich.
For the national table tennis coaching staff, there must be some unexpected factors in mind when arranging the Olympic Games, and fans cannot take it for granted that veterans will not have unexpected situations in the game. The uncertainty of competitive sports is part of the game, and everything has to be done in a good way. As young players, Kuo Man and Lin Shidong have the strength to get a P card, and these two players are also the main force of the next Olympic Games.
Kuo Man and Lin Shidong have not been accepted by the vast majority of fans so far. In the minds of most fans, these two players do not have the quality to compete in the Olympics. In fact, Kuo Man and Lin Shidong are already quite advanced in technology, Kuo Man has already beaten Sun Yingsha in three events last year, and Lin Shidong has also broken through Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin.
From the current hard power, these two players have not lost to the main force of national table tennis, and what Kuo Man and Lin Shidong need to strengthen is the experience of the game, the ability to resist pressure in the game and the ability to read the game. As a left-handed player, Kueman has cooperated with Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng in doubles.
Kuo Man can participate in the Olympic team competition in the way of a surprise soldier, and Kuo Man still has a certain advantage in the face of Zhang Benmeihe, because her ball line is relatively good, and she can contain Zhang Benmeihe's counterattack. Therefore, this player can successfully complete the task by participating in the Olympic women's team finals, and her participation in doubles can also ensure that the national table tennis combination can win the combination.
Kuaiman's dominance in doubles is very strong, and he has also defeated Miwa Zhangmoto. As long as this player participates in the Olympic team competition against the Japanese women's team, he can score two points alone. As a left-handed player, she can cooperate with the five main players of the current national table tennis team, and she is a seamless player.
Kuo Man was originally a key player to be trained in the next Olympic cycle of national table tennis, and she will definitely get a P card in this Olympic Games. Kuo Man's current age is the most appropriate, and Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi and others can also get the P card of the Olympic Games. Because of Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi's game performance, it is more stable in the eyes of fans.
The selection of P card players for the Olympic Games by national table tennis is focused on the next Olympic Games, and this selection direction will not change. In order to prepare for the next Olympic Games, there was no resistance for Kuoman to get a place in the P card. Because the national table tennis coaching staff thinks more long-term, Kuo Man does have to be trained in the competition.
Once Chen Meng has a fluctuation in the team competition, Kuo Man, as a young player, must be ready to compete in the team competition. Kuaiman is indeed a wonder in the team competition of the national table tennis Olympics, and the main competitor, the Japanese women's team, will not pay attention and prepare for the competition on her side. In case the national table tennis opens the Olympic P card, the preparation of the Japanese women's team before the competition will be disrupted.
Lin Shidong's doubles ability is also outstanding, although some fans think that Liang Jingkun is more suitable to get the Olympic P card quota, but from the perspective of training young players, the coaching staff will still choose Lin Shidong, which is his age advantage. Lin Shidong is currently struggling to fight against players with rich tactical changes, and he can still deal with opponents with average strength.
Lin Shidong is very explosive as a young player, and once he finds his offensive rhythm in the game, he will play more and more smoothly. At present, this player is still in the stage of playing power ball, and what needs to be improved is adaptability. In terms of fighting tough battles, this player still needs to continue to train, so in the period before the start of the Olympic Games, Lin Shidong will also accept stronger external challenges.
Fans consider Lin Shidong's game stability, in fact, the men's team is currently facing more pressure from the outside world. The main players have generally been defeated by foreign players, and Lin Shidong is the closest to the main players of national table tennis in terms of hard power. Therefore, it is more appropriate for the coaching staff to let Lin Shidong get the Olympic P card.
Because among the current younger generation of players, Lin Shidong is one of the more stable ones. Compared with the Japanese table tennis player Matsushima Terukor, Lin Shidong is more outstanding in technical ability. Since Matsushima Teruku can participate in the Olympic team competition, the coaching staff let Lin Shidong participate in the Olympic P card quota, also to let the young players of the national table tennis feel the atmosphere of the competition as soon as possible.
Vigorously cultivating young players has become an irreversible trend, and Lin Shidong and Kuo Man should feel the atmosphere of the Olympic Games, which is also to prepare for the next Olympic Games.
