With the curtain coming down on the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam tournament, all the national table tennis Paris Olympic trials have ended. According to the Olympic selection method formulated by the Chinese Table Tennis Association, the men's team Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong have won the Olympic singles quota, and Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha have qualified for the mixed doubles. This was announced on the official website of the Chinese Table Tennis Association on May 7. At present, the women's team singles list and team third list have not been announced. However, with Chen Meng's victory over Sun Yingsha in the Saudi Grand Slam women's singles final to win the championship, breaking the championship drought of more than two years, Chen Meng's selection for the singles quota for the Paris Olympics is almost a certainty, just waiting for the official announcement on May 14.

Because according to the latest women's team's Olympic singles points ranking, Sun Yingsha ranked first with 30,050 points, Chen Meng ranked second with 17,960 points, Wang Manyu ranked third with 11,865 points, Wang Yidi ranked fourth with 9,555 points, and Chen Xingtong ranked fifth with 6,070 points. In this way, according to the selection method of the Chinese Table Tennis Association for the Paris Olympics, the top two selected for the Olympic singles quota are undoubtedly Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng. Chen Meng won the Saudi Grand Slam women's singles championship with 2000 world ranking points and 3000 Olympic bonus points, surpassing Wang Manyu who lost to Batra in the round of 32. But even if Chen Meng won the championship, fans still questioned this result. Not only the fans, but now it is because of an interview with the big demon Zhang Yining that Chen Meng was embarrassed again. What's going on? What did Zhang Yining say again?

It turns out that this is an interview video of Zhang Yining looking forward to the Paris Olympics. Zhang Yining's original words are like this: I think there must be no problem with the women's singles (winning the championship) first, and there is no problem with the women's team as a whole, but there must always be a little suspense, or there is no need to watch it. If you have to leave suspense, you may still stay in the group or something, anyway, in the end, our Chinese team will win. I think the national table tennis women's team has its own characteristics and strengths. At present, I feel that Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are these, that is, they are going to be rushing, and they may be said to have always been walking in the most advanced technical perspective of women's table tennis, including the most leading people in psychology, I think it still falls on a few of them.

You see, Zhang Yining named Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, who are relatively leading in terms of technology and psychology, without mentioning Chen Meng. So this made Chen Meng questioned again, and some netizens commented that the points rules of the coaching staff of the Table Tennis Association were set for Chen Meng, right? Change this point rule based on her wins or losses. How many times has she lost foreign wars, how many times has Wang lost, how many championships has she won, and how many has Wang Manyu won? And accuse the Saudis of being like an exhibition game.

How so? I feel that every time the Olympic list is released, it will cause huge controversy, such as Liu Shiwen, who was ranked No. 1 in the world at the 2016 Rio Olympics, was invited by the International Table Tennis Federation to participate in the Olympic singles but was denied by the Table Tennis Association but could not participate in the singles, saying that she was not the women's singles champion of the World Championships, and when she won the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships women's singles championship, she had elbow surgery due to the epidemic and missed the Olympic singles again.

If according to the previous selection rules, the Paris Olympic selection is due on May 7, then Wang Manyu will definitely get the second Olympic singles quota, after all, Wang Manyu is 1555 points ahead of Chen Meng after the Macau World Cup. However, because Wang Yidi and Chen Meng lost to Miu Hirano and Hina Hayada respectively at the Busan World Table Tennis Championships, the national table tennis narrowly defeated the Japanese team 3-2, so the Table Tennis Association added the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam to the inspection and also stipulated that 3,000 points would be deducted for losing foreign wars. Unfortunately, Wang Manyu lost the foreign war to India's first sister Batra, which also caused her selection points to be overtaken by Chen Meng.

However, attentive fans summarized the results of Wang Manyu and Chen Meng throughout the Paris Olympic cycle, Wang Manyu won the women's singles championship at the 2021 World Table Tennis Championships in Houston, the women's singles champion at the Shaanxi National Games, the women's singles champion at the 2022 WTT Macau "China Star" women's singles champion, the women's singles champion at the 2022 Budapest Championships, the women's singles champion at the 2023 Macau Championships, the women's singles champion at the 2023 Taiyuan Regular Challenge, the women's singles champion at the 2023 Pyeongchang Asian Championships, and the women's singles champion at the 2024 Singapore Grand Slam. Chen Meng only won the women's singles championship of the 2022 Singapore Grand Slam and the women's singles championship of the 2024 Saudi Arabia Grand Slam.

The question is that points will be deducted for losing foreign wars, why not for the year of May 7, 2023 - May 7, 2024, but only for the Saudi Grand Slam tournament? It's not for nothing that Manyu is being supported, what do you think?
