The WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam will start, because the scale of the schedule is relatively large, and the official competition will not come until a few more days, and after the end of this event, the Paris Olympic lineup of national table tennis will basically surface.
Lin Gaoyuan was in good form in the recent World Cup, defeating Fan Zhendong and Zhang Benzhihe to reach the final, but when he was close to his first three-major championship, Lin Gaoyuan once again made the same mistake, and was reversed again by Ma Long when he had an absolute advantage of 3-0. In this game, it can be seen that there is still a huge gap between Lin Gao's long-distance "god who goes down the mountain", and after missing the golden opportunity, it may be difficult for his career to reach such a peak!
Lin Gaoyuan had a flash of inspiration, but his state still came too late, and he lacked the amazing moment when Qihao defeated Ma Long and Fan Zhendong in the team simulation match before the Tokyo Olympics, plus his own Olympic points are not dominant, it is difficult for him to have a place in the Paris Olympic team! Moreover, Lin Gaoyuan is still the second oldest person in the active players of the national table tennis men's team second only to Ma Long, and everyone feels that Lin Gaoyuan's career is estimated to be almost over, and retirement is about to be put on the agenda.
However, after the World Cup final was reversed, before the arrival of the Grand Slam, Lin Gaoyuan "exposed his own ugliness" and officially showdown his situation to the fans, it turned out that Lin Gaoyuan's father thought that Lin Gaoyuan could stay in the national team for three years It would be very good, but he didn't expect him to persist for 15 years. Although many people feel that Lin Gaoyuan's ability and talent are far inferior to top players such as Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Wang Chuqin, if you compare it with himself, then Lin Gaoyuan's struggle over the years has surpassed the goal set by his father for him!
Lin Gaoyuan has created a miracle, in the face of doubts from the outside world, he told his true thoughts: "From the front to the back is full of variables, from the back to the front is all fixed, so don't be anxious, boldly do what you want to do." At present, Ma Long's health and Fan Zhendong's state are the variables that determine the national table tennis men's singles Olympic lineup, and Lin Gaoyuan still has the possibility of counterattack!
