Many people have regrets, you have, I have, everyone has, in this article, I want to talk about Wang Manyu's regrets.
First of all:
As of press time, the national table tennis has not yet announced the women's singles list for the Olympic Games. Although everyone knows in their hearts that Wang Manyu has little chance of qualifying for the women's singles, until the last moment, it means that there is a chance, just a big or small one. With a high probability, with his recent excellent performance, Chen Meng will qualify for the Olympic singles and will play with Sun Yingsha to win glory for the country!
If she does lose the singles at the Olympics, it will be a huge blow to Wang Manyu, and her achievements will be completely opened up by Sun Yingsha, and it is very likely that she will be thrown away by her sister of the same era for more than 4 years.
What does this phrase mean? Let me unpack.
First, Wang Manyu is slightly older than Sun Yingsha, basically a leader of the same era, and many golfers expect them to become the twin stars of this era. Naturally, the two outstanding athletes of the same era are inevitably compared by others, and even quarrels between fans are possible.
Second, the Grand Slam, which is an entry brick to measure the status of table tennis players, although there is no official definition, it is conventional. At present, there are only 10 great gods who have achieved this achievement, so the gold content is still very high.
Wang Manyu's first regret in the 2024 season was the women's singles final of the Macau World Cup, where the big lead was overturned.
Before that match, the two men had one World Championship singles championship each in the three major tournaments, which can be said to be a draw. The World Cup is held once a year, but no one knows if it will be held normally in 2024, after all, it has been stopped for 3 years. Assuming it takes place, if Eel can win that tournament normally, it means that she has a better chance of completing a Grand Slam this year (as it was at the time), which would be at least one year ahead of Sun Yingsha (assuming Sun wins next year).
But in the end, that ball was reversed by Sun Yingsha, not only a reversal of a game, but also a reversal of the previous possibilities, she is more likely than the eel to complete the Grand Slam a year earlier.
Third, Wang Manyu's second regret this season is that he lost to Batra in an upset
It's just an inch, draw a particle that is not often played, and catch up with the very temporary, this year's high-intensity mechanism of deducting 3000 from the foreign association, the eel lost a ball that should not be lost, and the Olympic points were directly deducted 3000, basically declaring their hope of Olympic singles.
According to Sun Yingsha's current competitive form, she has a better hope of winning the Olympic singles gold medal, and if she wins, it will be a Grand Slam. The Olympic Games are held every 4 years, and her achievements will be thrown out of her contemporaries Wang Manyu, more than 4 years!
If I could do it all over again, I think the eels would have been more attentive to preparing for those two games and be more decisive when they were ahead. Now, the regrets have fallen, and the really powerful people belong to the kind that can make a review in time and come out of failure. I believe that the eel is, come on!
