This time, the national table tennis sent a 42-member team to the Saudi Grand Slam, but it was angrily reprimanded by public opinion, accusing the national table tennis of wasting resources, and netizens even compared the national table tennis with Aruna, "Everyone has one shot, not even a coach, let's waste taxpayers' money so much, okay?"
Among the 42 people on the national table tennis trip, there are actually only 12 men and women athletes, in addition, 7 sparring partners, 9 coaches, 11 physical fitness divisions and team doctors, 2 team leaders, plus head coach Li Falcon, exactly 42 people.
In this regard, netizens angrily criticized, "Can so many people be used? It's all taxpayers' money, there are so many people that they are extravagant, and the clothes are changed one after another, and foreign athletes are not treated so well." ”
"I remember that Han Ying of the German team didn't even have a coach, and the shoes she wore were about to fall off, and she was very lonely. ”
"How can there be so many team members in other foreign associations, it is conceivable that the strength of foreign association members is not comparable to that of Chinese players. ”
"Some people think that playing abroad is so good, you treat you as an athlete when you have results, who can look up to you when your grades are not good, Japan's Ito Misei has bad grades, and he doesn't even have a coach. ”
"The superiority of the national system is good, and I hope that athletes and coaches will work together to win the championship and win glory for the country. ”
"Looking at it this way, Aruna is very talented, and the national table tennis players are all supported by the team. ”
In fact, every time the Chinese table tennis team participates in an international competition, it will make corresponding travel plans according to the requirements of the competition and the needs of the team. As an excellent sports team, national table tennis has strict standards and requirements in ensuring the competitive status and physical and mental health of athletes. As a result, when traveling, the team will be large and will carry a lot of equipment, equipment and medical supplies to ensure that the team members can compete in the best possible condition.
In addition, the national table tennis also pays attention to logistics support, including nutritious catering, psychological counseling, etc., to ensure that the players can devote themselves to the game. These measures are all to ensure that the national table tennis players can play their best on the field, of course, Aruna is a one-man athlete, we really can't compare.
Aruna once defeated three players from the Chinese national table tennis team in a row in a certain tournament, so he is considered the "pioneer" of African table tennis. He did it without a coach, a team doctor or logistical support, and he was really strong on his own.
However, it cannot be said that our players are a waste of resources, it can only be said that our conditions are really good, and every taxpayer is the hero behind it.
