After competing at the World Cup in Macau, the Chinese national table tennis team has returned to China to rest and is about to start weeks of preparation for the upcoming Saudi Grand Slam.
Not only did the competition carry a huge prize money, but it was also the last major challenge before the Paris Olympics, so it attracted many of the world's best athletes.
The Saudi Grand Slam is the same size as the Singapore Grand Slam and has a prize fund of up to US$2 million, with the winner taking home US$65,000 and accumulating 2,000 points.
The singles main draw offers 64 spots, while the doubles go straight to the main draw, which will take place from May 1 to May 11.
For the Chinese table tennis team, this is the last chance to show their strength and adjust their form in preparation for the upcoming Olympic Games.
In the men's singles event, we will see top players such as Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Shidong representing the national team.
In this regard, netizen Xiao Ming excitedly posted on social platforms: "The national table tennis men's team lineup is too strong! Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, it's an iron triangle!
In the women's singles event, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng, Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi will take on the heavy responsibility.
Netizen Xiaohong excitedly shared with her friends in the group: "The strength of the women's team should not be underestimated! Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu's strength is first-class, and this championship must be ours!"
The Men's Doubles will be paired by Wang Chuqin and Ma Long, the Women's Doubles will be made up of Wang Manyu and Chen Meng, and in the Mixed Doubles, world No. 1s Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha will play together.
A netizen commented on Weibo: "The Chinese team has sent the strongest combination, and there is the world's No. 1 combination in the mixed doubles event, and the hope of winning the championship this time is really great!"
It can be said that the Chinese national team will send a full main lineup, aiming to win all individual championships.
Netizens have expressed their support and expectations, believing that the national table tennis players will definitely win glory for the country and create more brilliant records.
After the Saudi Grand Slam, the high-level competition has come to an end for the time being, but this does not mean the end of the table tennis season.
Feeder and Challenge competitions continue, providing players with the opportunity to adjust their form and earn points.
The Taiyuan Challenge in Shanxi, China, which kicks off on May 20, has attracted much attention because it provides a more comfortable environment for athletes to compete in and reduce fatigue from long-distance travel compared to international competitions.
On social media, netizens are discussing the upcoming Taiyuan Challenge.
A table tennis fan posted on Weibo: "The domestic competition is finally about to start! For domestic players, it reduces long-distance travel, which is more conducive to their state adjustment and competitive performance." "His focus on domestic competitions is evident.
Another fan chatted with his friends in the group: "The challenge is a great opportunity to see more Chinese players competing.
Hopefully they can play well in domestic competitions and strive for points and experience. ”
Some netizens expressed their opinions on the significance of domestic competitions: "Although the level of domestic competitions is lower than that of international competitions, they are also very important training opportunities for players.
It must feel different to be able to play on your doorstep. ”
The holding of domestic competitions has also been supported and valued by the coaching staff.
Coach Wang Dao said in an interview: "The Taiyuan Challenge is an important platform for our players, and we will continue to work hard to achieve good results. ”
Netizens also expressed their expectations, and some people left messages on social platforms: "Although domestic competitions are not as eye-catching as international competitions, they are also a good opportunity to see the strength of domestic players." We look forward to their wonderful performance at the Taiyuan Challenge!"
The holding of the Taiyuan Challenge not only provides a stage for domestic table tennis players to show themselves, but also brings more exciting games to the fans.
I believe that in this match, we will see more exciting performances and exciting matchups.
Fans inevitably felt a trace of regret because the table tennis aces of the six major countries unexpectedly chose to give up the Taiyuan Challenge.
This decision is widely interpreted as the advance determination of the Olympic squad, which is also a sign of understanding and respect for the long hours of fatigue of the athletes.
Especially for the 36-year-old veteran Ma Long, his Olympic journey is about to come to an end, and he needs more time to adjust and prepare physically and mentally.
Let's talk about Malone's early years.
Malone was named Malone because his father, mother, and himself all belonged to the Year of the Dragon zodiac.
This intriguing coincidence became his unique signature.
When Malone was 5 years old, his father decided to let him learn table tennis because he thought the sport would not only be a physical exercise, but also relatively safe and not prone to injury.
Ma Long's table tennis career began in the kindergarten of Tiedong District Sports School in Anshan City, when he began to get in touch with the sport with his coach Shi Haimei.
Subsequently, he received formal training with Coach Bai Xiaodong at Anshan Sports School.
In those days, regardless of age and gender, the team only looked at the results, and everyone trained together.
Malone quickly stood out from the team and made it to the top three groups.
Netizens are also full of emotion about Ma Long's growth experience.
A fan left a message on social platforms: "Ma Long's name and his life are really a match made in heaven! It seems that he is destined to become a legend in the table tennis world since he was a child." ”
This interpretation of fate makes people sigh at the wonder of life.
Another netizen shared his story: "I also learned table tennis when I was a child, but I didn't expect Ma Long to start at such a young age.
Sure enough, talent is very important!"
Some people expressed their admiration for Ma Long's achievements: "Ma Long's children are so powerful! He won the championship in less than half a year at the city sports school, and his strength should not be underestimated." ”
Ma Long's achievements are not only due to talent, but also due to his unremitting efforts and love for table tennis.
Such a growth story not only inspires the younger generation, but also lays the groundwork for a more brilliant career in the future.
For Liu Guoliang's decision, fans have expressed their support.
They hope that the main force of national table tennis can make full use of the next time to adjust, maintain the best condition, and welcome the arrival of the Paris Olympics.
As die-hard fans of the Chinese national team, we also sincerely wish them excellent results in future competitions and fight for national glory.
Come on, Chinese national table tennis!
