April 30, 2024, Henan Province Release - On the occasion of May Day, People's Daily Online selected five outstanding sports model workers, and its Chinese table tennis player Wang Chuqin topped the list. It is worth mentioning that in the national table tennis men's and women's teams, only Wang Chuqin won this honor. "People's Daily Online" praised him for taking on the triple role of mixed doubles, men's doubles and singles in international competitions in recent years, and repeatedly played three high-intensity matches in a single day.
Indeed, in the 2024 WTT Star Challenge Doha, Wang Chuqin not only completed five matches in one day, but also returned with a winning record. However, although Wang Chuqin's iron man style and tenacious spirit earned him the title of "model worker", this honor did not completely translate into envious eyes, but made people feel a little distressed about his fatigue.
With less than three months left with the Paris 2024 Olympic Games approaching, Wang Chuqin has already secured his qualification for the singles event. He is expected to partner Sun Yingsha in the mixed doubles, and will also represent the national team in the team competition, continuing to carry the weight.
In the recent World Cup in Macau, Wang Chuqin unfortunately failed to play at his due level, losing to Ma Long with a score of 0-4, which was surprising. In the face of a tight schedule, Wang Chuqin will also participate in the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam event next, and the time available for reflection and summary is becoming more and more urgent. Between honor and pressure, Wang Chuqin's road to the arena is still full of challenges.
