On May 12, Beijing time, the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam has ended, the national table tennis won 5 gold medals, Wang Chuqin achieved the triple crown, and Chen Meng also won the women's singles and women's doubles championships, and the two of them became the biggest winners. Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, Fan Zhendong and others need to summarize well, they were out of the singles game early, putting the national table tennis in danger, and teenagers like Lin Shidong and Qian Tianyi brought a big surprise to everyone, and the national table tennis is full of talents. In fact, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, the two world No. 1s, are only 24 years old, and they have been playing for many years in everyone's impression, and they are actually young players, and they will lead the Chinese team to continue to dominate the table tennis world.
Since entering 2024, the schedule of national table tennis has been very intensive, almost every other week or half a month to participate in the competition, and the general schedule is more than 7 days or 10 days, which is a great test for the athlete's body and psychology, and needs to bear the pressure. Wang Yidi stopped in the quarterfinals of the Saudi Grand Slam women's singles competition, losing to teammate Sun Yingsha, and the women's doubles competition stopped in the top 8, and her partner was Chen Xingtong. Wang Yidi's overall performance is good, she defeated Misei Ito of Japanese table tennis in the quarterfinals, won 4 consecutive victories in foreign battles, and has overcome her inner demons.
Qian Tianyi participated in the women's singles competition and stopped in the top 8, but also lost to Sun Yingsha, and there is still a lot of potential waiting to be tapped. Qian Tianyi's personality is very cheerful, although she was beaten 11-0 by Sun Yingsha, she doesn't seem to take it to heart, maybe Sasha didn't care about the score and was too focused on the game. For Qian Tianyi, she needs to continue to improve herself and strive to compete with the best players in national table tennis in the future.
The 24-year-old Qian Tianyi is very tall in appearance and height, and she is usually relatively low-key, but she does not receive particularly high attention in national table tennis. Qian Tianyi posted photos of the national table tennis on social media, and wrote, "Go back and continue to work hard", it seems that he is not too satisfied with his results, keep up the good work. As can be seen from the photos, several golden flowers of national table tennis are wearing casual clothes, and they can relax after the game, Qian Tianyi is still wearing sunglasses, and he is in a very good mood.
There are also many netizens who joke that Wang Yidi takes pictures every time, and Qian Tianyi gestures behind him. Wang Yidi grinned, his smile was about to overflow the screen of his mobile phone, they were playing in a scenic spot in Saudi Arabia, next to the square was the sea, and the scenery was pleasant. From the current point of view, Wang Yidi should be able to participate in the Olympic women's team competition, and Qian Tianyi's chances of getting the Olympic quota are not very large, after all, there are too many top players in the national table tennis team, and almost everyone can take charge of it alone.
Qian Tianyi was born in 2000 and is only 24 years old this year, she became a member of the national table tennis team in 2019, and in March 2023, Qian Tianyi won the WTT Singapore Grand Slam women's singles runner-up, which is also the most valuable honor in Qian Tianyi's career. In the 2024 Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, Qian Tianyi's women's singles stopped in the top 8.
National table tennis also intends to train Qian Tianyi to participate in the mixed doubles competition, and she has also partnered with Ma Long, and the two are too eye-catching in the same frame. The next WTT Taiyuan station will be held at Taiyuan Binhe Sports Center from May 21 to 26, with the qualifying round from the 21st to the 22nd and the main match from the 23rd to the 26th. Qian Tianyi, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong and Kuo Man signed up for the women's singles competition, and Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun, Lin Shidong and Zhou Qihao participated in the men's singles competition.
