On May 14, Beijing time, the official website of the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced the official list of participants for the Paris Olympics. According to the previous Olympic points selection rules within the team, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng qualified for the women's singles. Wang Manyu, a P card player of the last women's team, failed to qualify for the singles competition, but got the official ticket for the team competition.
According to the men's quota announced by the Chinese Table Tennis Association last week, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong qualified for the singles competition at the Tokyo Olympics. As a veteran of the Four Dynasties, Ma Long will participate in the Olympic team competition for the fourth time, and if the Chinese men's team wins the championship this time, Ma Long will create an amazing record of winning the men's team gold medal in four consecutive Olympic Games.
In the men's singles final of the last Tokyo Olympics, Ma Long defeated Fan Zhendong 4-2 and won the Olympic men's singles gold medal for the second time in a row. This is Fan Zhendong's second Olympic singles appearance, and if he can win the singles gold medal, he will become a new Grand Slam. But if Fan Zhendong can't win the men's singles title this time, with his recent ups and downs, it will be difficult for him to have a chance to participate in the singles at the next Olympics.
Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha in the final of the last Olympic Games to win the championship, and this time the two of them once again qualified for the Olympic singles competition. If Sun Yingsha wins in the peak duel this time, Sun Yingsha will become a new Grand Slam in world women's table tennis, and if Chen Meng wins gold again, she will become the third national player after Deng Yaping and Zhang Yining to win the gold medal in the Olympic women's singles competition.
