With the successful conclusion of the Macau World Cup, the itinerary of the national table tennis team is in full swing, pointing to the upcoming Grand Slam competition in Saudi Arabia. However, what will be more interesting is that they will compete in the Taiyuan Challenger on May 20, followed by the WTT Chongqing Championship in Chongqing from May 30 to June 3. This event is not only an important review before the Paris Olympics, but also a gathering place for top international players such as table tennis masters from all over the world, including Japan's Tomokazu Haramoto. This event will undoubtedly become the focus of global table tennis fans.
For the upcoming Chongqing Championships, the list of participants announced by the national table tennis can be described as star-studded. In the men's singles, Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and Liang Jingkun all appeared together, while the women's singles were led by Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi and Chen Meng. These players are all ranked in the top four in the world, which undoubtedly shows the careful strategy and layout of the national table tennis coaching staff. It is worth mentioning that despite the excellent performances of Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong, they were not selected for the Chongqing competition due to their lower rankings, which may indicate that they will miss out on the stage of the Paris Olympics.
It is widely optimistic that the eight main players participating in the Chongqing Championship are likely to form the final team of the Paris Olympics. In Men's Singles, consistent performances by Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long make them strong contenders for the Olympic singles and team events, while Liang Jingkun is expected to join the fray with a P-card spot. The women's singles is also gaining momentum, with Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha expected to represent the national table tennis in the singles and team competitions, and Wang Yidi may also fight for a place through the P card. The final confirmation of this lineup will be officially released by the national table tennis coaching staff.
The release of this list is not only an affirmation of the players' past performance, but also an investment in their future potential. The strategic layout of national table tennis has always been to improve the level of competition and technological innovation as the core, and strive to make breakthroughs in every major competition. However, challenges remain. Newcomers need to thrive on the international stage, while veterans need to stay fit and fend off stiff competition from global rivals.
