At the critical moment of national table tennis preparations, Wang Yidi's situation can be described as quite embarrassing. As a once-favourite to challenge for an Olympic singles spot, her fluctuating performances led to her declining status and eventually being relegated to a substitute role. Among them, it has to be mentioned that she has repeatedly lost in key foreign battles, which has directly affected her world ranking and status in the arena.
The rise of Sun Yingsha has further exacerbated the pressure of internal competition. As a representative of the "post-00s", Sun Yingsha's outstanding performance in many events, especially the successive victories in mixed doubles and singles events, has made her a new mainstay of national table tennis. During this period, Wang Yidi relied on the good relationship with the head coach of the women's team, Ma Lin, to get many reuse opportunities, and once climbed to the second highest position in the world. However, as the competition intensifies and continues to lose, Wang's Olympic path becomes more and more out of reach.
In the strategic adjustment of the head coach of the national table tennis team, Li Falcon, it was clearly stated that more attention will be paid to the performance of the players. This new policy is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Wang Yidi, who was directly excluded from the competition for an Olympic singles quota due to her poor performance in foreign competitions. Although there is still a chance to compete in the team, in the fierce competition between Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, it is extremely difficult for Wang Yidi to reverse the situation.
Faced with such a predicament, Wang Yidi's future is full of uncertainty. Whether she will be able to adjust her form, regain the trust of her coaching staff and compete in team events will be a major challenge in her career. Although Ma Lin was unable to secure more direct opportunities for her, Wang Yidi still needed to rely on her own hard work and performance to prove her worth. Overall, Wang's current situation is both a test and an opportunity, and every step she takes will affect her professional future.
