Recently, the national table tennis has ended the Saudi Grand Slam competition and returned to China to continue to prepare for the Taiyuan Challenge. With the end of the Saudi Grand Slam competition, many fans are looking forward to the national table tennis coaching staff updating the list of national table tennis participants in the Paris Olympics in a timely manner.
However, to the surprise of many fans, before the official announcement of the Olympic list, Zhang Yining recently commented on the performance of several main players in the national table tennis women's singles, which made the outside world have a lot of associations with the Chinese team's women's singles quota for the next Paris Olympics, and the situation is very unfavorable to Chen Meng.
In a recent interview with the media, Zhang Yining made it clear that the Chinese women's team should not have too many problems in winning the gold medal in the Paris Olympics next. As for the selection of women's singles, Zhang Yining believes that Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are leading in technology and have a good mentality.
In other words, the big devil is optimistic about Sun Yingsha's two main national table tennis players in the singles of the Paris Olympics, which is completely different from the previous speculation from the outside world. Here in Zhang Yining, she replaced Chen Meng with Wang Manyu. So after this interview came out, some fans who supported Wang Manyu naturally thought that Chen Meng was not worthy of the Olympic women's singles quota, and Wang Manyu was more qualified and capable than her to get the Olympic ticket and compete for the women's singles gold medal in the Paris Olympics.
Under such circumstances, Chen Meng undoubtedly fell into a very embarrassing situation. In fact, I want to know whether Chen Meng deserves to get the Olympic women's singles quota? Let's take a look at the evaluation of Chen Meng by famous national table tennis in the past.
First of all, after the Tokyo Olympics at that time, the outside world once commented that Chen Meng had become the leader of the national table tennis women's singles, and Liu Guoliang directly gave a point-to-point evaluation. Liu Guoliang thinks that Chen Meng has just won the Olympic championship at that time, and it is too early to say that she is a leader, and he bluntly said that the national table tennis women's singles three powerhouses Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu are equally powerful, and they are all very good.
From this point, it can be seen that whether it is Chen Meng or Wang Manyu, the strength of the two of them should not be too different, it depends on who has a better temporary performance, who can get more Olympic points, and who has a chance to win the women's singles ticket.
From this point of view, Wang Manyu suffered Waterloo in the most critical Saudi Grand Slam match, and his luck was really bad, so he could only accept his fate.
On the other hand, Deng Yaping also commented on Chen Meng before. Deng Yaping believes that Chen Meng's biggest shortcoming may be in his mentality, his mentality is good and bad, when he has a good mentality, he can beat Sun Yingsha to win the championship, and when he has a bad mentality, his performance is worse. On this point, Deng Yaping's views actually coincide with Zhang Yining's views. In terms of mentality, these two national table tennis celebrities think that the mentality of Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha is more prominent.
So for Chen Meng, if she really gets the women's singles ticket for the Paris Olympics, she really has to hone her mentality and adjust it well, so that she can have the opportunity to compete for the women's singles gold medal in the Paris Olympics again and strive to defend her title.
Of course, at present, this is just the evaluation of Chen Meng by the national table tennis celebrities, but these evaluations should not have a decisive impact on the selection of the final Olympic list. In the end, which main players of the national table tennis women's team can get singles places, we still have to see their Olympic selection points. Judging from the data, it is clear that Chen Meng has a greater chance than Wang Manyu.
