On May 14, the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced the national table tennis lineup for the 2024 Paris Olympics, and finally the double-circle Grand Slam winner Ma Long became the third person in the men's team, while Liang Jingkun got the P card, and the two players who got the men's singles were Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong.
Although with the growth of age, Ma Long's competitive state has declined in the past two years, but in the World Cup that ended not long ago, he completed the feat of "letting three chase four" in the final, and won the World Cup championship for the third time.
You must know that Ma Long, who was born in 1988, is 36 years old this year, and he cannot hold out until the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, and the Paris Olympics will be his last Olympic Games.
However, Fan Zhendong's recent performance has obviously fluctuated greatly, and Fan Zhendong's emotions are prone to fluctuations, and his emotions are more serious, this year he has been affected by the "concert", "ID card" and "watching the ball" incident, and the Olympic Games are the most important competition experienced by athletes in their lives, Fan Zhendong's overall performance in 2024 is unsatisfactory, he takes this state and mentality to participate in the Olympic Games men's singles, it is very likely to drop the chain, stability and pressure resistance are far worse than Ma Long, Liu Guoliang is equivalent to digging a big hole for himself!
Of course, the Olympic lineup has been basically determined, and friends who want the Table Tennis Association to change their decisions can go to the Table Tennis Association website to reflect their thoughts, maybe it can have a certain effect, it is said that a large number of Wang Manyu's fans have jointly signed a letter asking for Chen Meng to be replaced by Wang Manyu, I don't know how many people are upset with Ma Long in the past few days?
