Because Liu Shiwen/Xu Xin lost 3:4 to Japan's Mimato Ito/Mizutani Hayabusa in the mixed doubles final, missing the mixed doubles gold medal, they were criticized by netizens and fans.

Chen Meng is 30 years old this year, and he does not have an advantage in age. Now the national table tennis women's team has young players such as Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, Wang Yidi, etc., who have advanced technology and are full of energy and physical strength, which has a great impact on Chen Meng.
What are Chen Meng's chances of winning the Paris Olympics? "Taste the celebrities" first analyzes the two teammates who pose the greatest threat to her, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu.
Sun Yingsha was born in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province in 2000 and is currently ranked No. 1 in the world. She holds the racket horizontally in her right hand, and combines fast attack with curved circle play.
Sun Yingsha has advanced playing style, comprehensive technology, and steady playing style, and has the tendency to catch up with Chen Meng and become the new leader of the national table tennis women's team.

In 2023, Sun Yingsha won the women's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships.
In April 2024, Sun Yingsha won the World Cup women's singles championship.
On May 7, 2024, the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced: Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin will cooperate to participate in the mixed doubles competition of the Paris Olympics.
Sun Yingsha also automatically qualified for the women's team, I wonder if Sun Yingsha can participate in the women's singles competition at the Paris Olympics?
Wang Manyu is also a strong competitor to Chen Meng. Wang Manyu was born in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province in 1999 and is 1.76 meters tall.
(Wang Manyu serves)
Wang Manyu's forehand and backhand skills are excellent, and her twist and backhand are stunts. Wang Manyu's style of play is aggressive, her psychological quality is stable, her skills and tactics are reasonable, and she is also one of the key players of the national table tennis women's team.

However, at the table tennis WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam in May 2024, Wang Manyu was unexpectedly upset, losing 1-3 to India's Batra and not entering the round of 16.
The national table tennis team attaches the most importance to the results of the competition with foreign players, and Wang Manyu's loss this time has cast a shadow on her Olympic prospects
Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong's overall strength is not as good as Chen Meng's, and they do not pose a threat to her Olympic qualifications.
To sum up, "Celebrity Detail" believes that the probability of Chen Meng participating in the women's singles and women's team competitions at the Paris Olympics is 80%. Taking a step back, even if Chen Meng does not participate in the women's singles competition, the probability of participating in the women's team competition at the Paris Olympics is 100%.
Although Chen Meng is 30 years old and her age is not advantageous, her competition experience and stable psychological quality are not possessed by young players.

In the end, the "fine celebrity" predicted that the lineup of the national table tennis women's team to enter the Paris Olympics was: Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu.
Chen Meng participated in the women's singles and women's team competitions.
Sun Yingsha participated in the women's singles, women's team, and mixed doubles competitions.
Wang Manyu participated in the women's team competition.
The national table tennis team is under a lot of pressure, and if you are distracted, you will be eliminated. Over the years, Chen Meng has played ball wholeheartedly and has not dared to fall in love.

The Paris Olympics are approaching, Chen Meng doesn't dare to be distracted at all, she has to wait until after the Paris Olympics to think about love.
Chen Meng has a beautiful appearance, a good personality, high emotional intelligence, and a moderate figure, and has been pursued by excellent people of the opposite sex over the years. Chen Meng was afraid that love would drag down her career, and she didn't dare to accept it, resulting in her not having a boyfriend at the age of 30.
