Recently, the women's singles battle for the National Table Tennis Olympics has resurfaced. In the just-concluded Saudi Arabia Grand Slam event, Chen Meng won the women's singles championship, while Wang Manyu went out early and was deducted 3,000 Olympic points. Wang Manyu's defeat in the Olympic women's singles seems to be a foregone conclusion, which makes Wang Manyu's fans feel heartbroken, and even questions the selection mechanism of national table tennis.
For a while, the discussion on the fairness of the selection on the Internet was boiling, and Wang Manyu's fans were even more "excited", hoping to fight for their idols' due rights.
Wang Manyu's fan cries came like a tide, and they spoke out one after another, crying out for Wang Manyu. They pointed out that there are many loopholes in the selection mechanism of national table tennis. Especially in the team competition, the uneven appearance opportunities make it difficult for Wang Manyu to show herself. After the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, she almost became a "spectator", and this experience made her points fall behind significantly. Fans are calling for the points rules to be adjusted for the sake of fairness, so that players who don't play much in the team competition are compensated as they deserve.
Not only that, Wang Manyu's fans also believe that the Chengdu Mixed World Cup team competition, as an important event, should be included in the points system. Wang Manyu performed well in this match, but her efforts did not pay off. Fans hope that such an event can become an important part of the selection system, so that each player's efforts can be recognized.
At the same time, the unreasonableness of the new penalty mechanism is also pointed out. They believe that the punishment should be just and equitable, covering the entire selection cycle, rather than arbitrary commendation or partial punishment. In Wang Manyu, she was deducted 3,000 points for a mistake, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to her efforts.
Wang Manyu's fans hope that the national table tennis coaching staff can revisit this mechanism to ensure that every player can compete in a level playing field.
Wang Manyu is likely to lose the second women's singles in the Olympics, but there is basically no problem in participating in the women's team. Although this will be a temporary setback for her, this round of turmoil has also made her feel the support and love of her fans. Competitive sports results speak, cruel and helpless. Fans, what do you think? Let's discuss it in the comment area!
