Congratulate! Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu! The three sisters of the Tokyo Olympic champion gathered at the Paris Olympics
Beijing time on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. This morning, as the Chinese Table Tennis Association officially announced the list of all the participants in the table tennis of the Paris Olympics, we also saw: Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu appeared in the women's team competition together. This is also the first time in three years that these three sisters have extended from the Tokyo cycle to the Paris cycle! Looking forward to the big dream, salsa, and eel in the Paris arena, good results!
In the Tokyo Olympic cycle three years ago, the list of women's players sent by the Chinese team was: women's singles, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, women's team Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Liu Shiwen. P card: Wang Manyu. In the mixed doubles final at that time, Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin lost to the Japanese pair Misei Ito and Mizutani Hayabusa. This made Liu Shiwen feel pressured at that time.
In the women's team competition, the Chinese women's team, which reached the finals all the way, decided to use Wang Manyu. So, there is also this classic group photo: Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Sun Yingsha stood on the podium after the game, singing the national anthem. And after the game, Director Li Falcon took a group photo with them.
Remember 3 years ago? Yes, on August 5, 2021, the Chinese women's group faced the Japanese women's group. The Japanese team is menacing, not only as the host, but also because of the mixed doubles gold medal in hand, full of ambition and eager to create another miracle. At the critical moment, the three Chinese women's table tennis sisters withstood the pressure.
The first set was the Women's Doubles match. Chen Meng and Wang Manyu combined to face Miu Hirano and Kasumi Ishikawa. The Chinese women's doubles won 9-11, 11-6, 11-8, 11-7, 3-1 to take the lead.
In the second set, Sun Yingsha singled Misei Ito. In the semifinals of the women's singles competition, Sun Yingsha swept Misei Ito 4-0. This time, the two girls played again, and Sun Yingsha defeated her opponent again 3-1. 4 Sets: 11-8, 11-5, 3-11, 11-3!
In the third set, Wang Manyu appeared! The eels take on Miu Hirano. Wang Manyu, a P card player, did not hurry, stood steadily, and swept the opponent 3-0, with a score of 11-5, 11-9, 11-3! In this way, the Chinese women's team took this precious gold medal into the bag. Since the "Women's Team Gold Medal" project was set up, the Chinese team has never let this gold medal go aside!
At that Tokyo Olympics, Japan's P card players were Hina Hayada and Masataka Morizono. Today, Hina Hayada is already a single sister of Japanese women. The P card players of the Chinese team include Wang Manyu and Wang Chuqin. In that Olympic Games, Wang Manyu appeared on the stage and won the gold medal, but Datou did not appear. However, 3 years have passed, and now Wang Chuqin has grown to become the world's No. 1! Represent the Chinese team in the Paris Olympics as a men's singles team!
