The Paris Olympic selection cycle of the national table tennis women's team is coming to an end, and before the final list is about to be officially announced, there are actually only two major suspense left!
First of all, it is the candidate for the P card of the men's team! The P card candidates for the recent Olympic Games will be selected from the focus on cultivating young people in the next Olympic cycle, such as Fan Zhendong, Zhu Yuling, Wang Manyu, and Wang Chuqin have all won P cards in this way. This year's situation is relatively special, Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan, who are the oldest qualified, have each other's strengths and weaknesses in the P card competition, but the disadvantage is that their age is not advantageous; Although Lin Shidong has been silent for a long time, his condition is getting better and better as he approaches the Olympics, and Wang Chuqin sighs that he can defeat any opponent.
Therefore, in terms of the men's team's Olympic P card, Liu Guoliang pays more attention to experience and long-term performance, and makes a choice between Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan? Or do you value the current performance and directly promote Lin Shidong?
Secondly, there is the issue of the P card of the women's team. In terms of the women's team, the performance of Qian Tianyi and Kuo Man, two young echelon players, has been disappointing for a long time, and if you look at the strength alone, they do not have such qualifications at all. Wang Yidi has been officially announced in advance that she is not suitable for the Olympic women's singles competition, and Chen Xingtong has been sitting firmly in the top five positions in national table tennis for a long time. But at least judging from the performance of the whole cycle and the development of plasticity, Wang Yidi is more likely to be selected!
And many people are also curious, will Chen Meng be won in the women's singles quota and replaced by Wang Manyu in the Olympics? At the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, after Wang Manyu overturned, Chen Meng proved that he was not old by destroying the Japanese Olympic team and defeating Sun Yingsha to win the championship! Her competition stability and ability to resist pressure are obviously stronger than Wang Manyu! Coupled with Chen Meng's age, if she doesn't seize the opportunity, she won't have a chance to win the Grand Slam in the next cycle!
Therefore, as long as Chen Meng still wants to win the Grand Slam, then she will definitely not be stupid enough to give up the Olympic women's singles qualification for nothing, after all, the gold content of the Olympic women's singles championship is too high, which will affect her status and commercial value!
