On May 11, the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam came to an end, which also announced the official end of the Olympic trials of the national table tennis women's team. The latest Olympic selection points rankings have also been released:
Although Sun Yingsha lost to her sister Chen Meng 2-4 in this Grand Slam tournament and was the runner-up, she could also get 1,500 Olympic bonus points with the runner-up, plus she had a huge advantage, so Sun Yingsha finally ranked first with 30,050 points and locked in a women's singles qualification for the Paris Olympics. Sun Yingsha has actually locked the women's singles, no matter what the rules are, Sun Yingsha will definitely qualify for the singles.
Chen Meng, who won the Saudi Grand Slam this time, received 3,000 Olympic bonus points, ranking second with a total score of 17,960 points. According to the selection rules, Chen Meng has automatically qualified for the women's singles at the Paris Olympics, which also continues the tradition of the previous Olympic champions receiving one women's singles qualification unless they retire. With Chen Meng's performance in the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, Chen Meng's singles at the Paris Olympics is reasonable, and the three main Japanese players and the world No. 1 won the championship, which is also a reflection of hard power.
Hina Hayada was kept clean by Chen Meng, and in the women's singles final, she also took a notebook to steal how Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha, and analyzed why Chen Meng was able to keep a clean sheet against herself, maybe this is the last time they met before the Olympics, and the notes are well done, which is conducive to Hina Hayada going back to do targeted training.
Wang Manyu was deducted 3,000 points for an unexpected loss in a foreign war, and finally ranked third with 11,865 points. Wang Manyu lost the singles qualification for the Olympic Games, it may be difficult to equalize, but Chen Meng's current state, even if he meets Wang Manyu in the semifinals, Wang Manyu may not be able to beat Chen Meng, as long as Chen Meng wins the championship, Wang Manyu can only rank third even if he does not lose the foreign war, Chen Meng can defeat Sun Yingsha, and naturally defeating Hina Hayada is also a reflection of strength, there is not so much water to release.
The fourth is Chen Xingtong, and Chen Xingtong may also get the final P card.
At present, the dust has settled on the Olympic selection, waiting for the final official announcement of the Chinese Table Tennis Association. There may also be expectations that the coaching staff will not select and determine players according to the rules. This possibility is almost non-existent, otherwise the latest selection rules would not have been made at the Singapore Grand Slam, and it is only for the women's team, which is obviously to select according to the rules.
So if there are no accidents
Singles: Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng
Group Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, P card Chen Xingtong.
Sun Yingsha will be in the team competition in the singles, and Chen Meng/Wang Manyu will be in the first singles match!
Do you think the P card will be given to Chen Xingtong or Kuaiman? Personally, I think Wang Yidi is basically unlikely.
