The official news was released, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng won the Olympic women's singles qualification, while Wang Manyu unfortunately failed. The selection process was full of twists and turns, Wang Manyu lost the duel with Batra, losing 3,000 points, which became an important reason why she missed the Olympics.
Chen's path to victory was also challenging. Although she has failed to win the women's singles title in the past two years, the selection for the Olympics is more focused on the current form of the athlete than on past results. In the qualifying round, Chen Meng defeated Japan's Miu Hirano, Mimi Zhangmoto and Hina Hayada in succession, showing her strong competitive form.
In the end, in the final, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha had a fierce duel, with excellent technical and tactical adjustments, Chen Meng won the match with a score of 4:2, and locked a place for herself in the women's singles competition at the Paris Olympics. The outstanding performances of the two athletes also secured their place in the women's team of the Chinese table tennis team.
As for Wang Manyu, although she failed to qualify in the women's singles event, her strength should not be underestimated, and she is expected to adjust her state and strive for performance in the future women's team competitions. Sun Yingsha's No. 1 singles position has been confirmed by coach Liu Guoliang, and she will not only represent China in the women's singles, but also take on the responsibility of regaining the mixed doubles gold medal.
