Recently, the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced the list of women's singles and women's teams participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics, Sa Sha and Chen Meng finally got the precious singles places, and Sa Sha, Chen Meng, Man Yu and Wang Yidi formed the Olympic women's team, and the topic around Chen Meng and Man Yu can finally be concluded.
Man Yu, Sasha, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong, the five main forces of national table tennis have the strength to win gold in the Olympics, but unfortunately, there are only two Olympic singles places, and the selected people are not because they are not good enough, you can't deny the efforts of a player because of the failure to be selected for the Olympic list, national table tennis is a whole, it has flesh and blood, it has more than a champion, whether it is Sasha and Da Meng, or Manyu and Dadi, or Zhang Rui and Qian Tianyi, etc., they are all members of this glorious collective, there are wins and losses on the court, there are honors, but off the court, They are all equal, they are the pride of Chinese sports, they are not in the Olympics, they all deserve respect, or in other words, whether Sasha dreams of winning the final championship or not, for the national table tennis, they all give their all, and everyone is a hero.
Life is very long, there will always be setbacks and troughs, in fact, Chen Meng is also a late bloomer, once upon a time, Chen Meng was not the most trusted core of national table tennis, there were Ding Ning and Xiao Zao, she grew up silently beside Xiao Zhu, just saw the opportunity to mature, Sasha and Manyu quickly emerged, and even for a while, Chen Meng because of his unstable performance, there were many remarks that Chen Meng should fade out of the national team, because the younger generation of Sasha, Manyu, Dadi and Chen Xingtong are enough to carry the national table tennis, and the results cannot surpass the veterans, and they have to encounter the impact of young people, Chen Meng gritted her teeth and persevered, reaching the peak of her career at an age when female players began to decline.
The growth of the peerless double pride was originally going hand in hand, but because of injuries, Manyu regressed after winning the world championship, Sasha rose rapidly and became the hegemon of the table tennis world, and the big dream picked up quickly in the Olympic year, it can only be said that the reality is cruel, Manyu is good enough, in the World Table Tennis Championships team competition, Manyu once saved the team by himself, in the singles World Cup, Manyu almost won the championship, she no longer needs to prove anything, the small setback in the Saudi competition is just a small episode, Manyu is bad, just a little luck, Manyu is still young, defeat is not the end, this is just the beginning, Manyu is a hard-working child, but also a strong fighter, I believe she will realize her dreams and create her own history.
