Chen Meng finally settled the heart of the coaching staff, no, the Olympic qualification is also firmly in hand! This series of twists and turns has to start with a not-so-ideal performance of Wang Yidi. At the World Table Tennis Championships not long ago, Wang Yidi lost when he faced Japan's Miu Hirano, which was not just as simple as losing a game, which directly led to our national table tennis suffering a big loss in the women's team finals, and was finally ousted by the opponent with a score of 2 to 1.
After this game, the coaching staff was anxious, and even the senior management of the Table Tennis Association began to re-examine the selection rules. They decided that this selection has to be real, not just whether you usually practice well or not, if you lose against a strong opponent in the game, the score will be deducted, and you will doubt your life. In this way, a new point deduction mechanism has been added to the Olympic selection of national table tennis, once the main player loses to a player from other associations in an important match, it is not only a loss of the game, but also a penalty in the standings.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Manyu also encountered an accident at the Saudi Grand Slam, and she lost to India's rising star Batra. This was originally her steady points, but now it's good, the points are not guaranteed, and even the Olympic qualification is hanging. This time, Wang Manyu is under a lot of pressure, on the other hand, Chen Meng, the veteran played to the fullest in the same game, rushed forward vigorously, and finally defeated Sun Yingsha and won the women's singles championship.
This victory not only made Chen Meng's points skyrocket, but also directly locked in a place in the Olympic singles. Seeing this, you may have to ask, how did this Chen Meng do it? Let me tell you, this is not only strength, but also a manifestation of tenacity and experience. In the game, her steady pace, precise strategy, and on-court calmness left her opponents in the dust.
With Wang Manyu's mistake and Chen Meng's breakthrough, the women's team's Olympic singles quota was finally won by Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, and Wang Manyu, as a member of the women's team, has a new role and challenges. This selection process can be said to be an unprecedented test, and it is also a big review of the comprehensive strength and psychological quality of the players.
Looking at this series of twists and turns, I have to sigh that the sport of table tennis is really not an ordinary brain-burning and testing person. Not only do players have to battle wits and courage with their opponents on the table, but the changes in strategy and rules off the court are also enough to make people overwhelmed. The strategic adjustment of the coaching staff and the Table Tennis Association is undoubtedly hoping to promote the players to perform better in international competitions through a stricter selection mechanism.
In general, although the change in the selection rules of national table tennis has brought a lot of pressure and challenges to the players, in the long run, it is beneficial to improve the overall strength and cope with international competition. After all, on a big stage like the Olympic Games, there is no room for sloppiness and mistakes. Players need to go all out in every competition in order to win glory for the country at the most critical moment.
This kind of selection mechanism also gave us a lot of topics and thoughts for the audience. Should we focus more on the consistency of the players, or should we give more opportunities to try and make mistakes? This is not only a test for the players, but also a test of the strategy of the entire coaching team. After all, every selection and competition is directly related to the overall strategic layout and future development of the national team.
At the same time, players should also realize that every competition is not only a technical duel, but also a contest of psychology and will. How to stay in top shape under pressure and how to find a breakthrough in an adverse situation are all key factors that can determine the outcome of a match.
In the end, whether it is Chen Meng's stable locking in an Olympic singles quota or Wang Manyu's repositioning in the team competition, it is a strategic adjustment made by national table tennis according to the actual situation in the international arena. As spectators, in addition to cheering for them, we should also understand the hard work and dedication behind each player.
Looking back at the whole incident this time, it is not only a change in selection, but also a profound reflection on the traditional sportsmanship and modern competitive concepts. In such an environment, every player is no longer just a simple athlete, but also a witness and participant of the times. Every time they attacked, it was not only for personal honor, but also for the dignity of the country and the pride of the nation.
Towards the future, I hope that the national table tennis can cultivate more top masters with both psychology and technology under such a selection mechanism. At the same time, we also expect every player to show the tenacity and wisdom of Chinese table tennis on the international stage.
