On May 14, the national table tennis announced the list of participants for the Paris Olympics, and it seems that the dust has settled on the battle for Olympic tickets.
However, the point of this issue is that if you believe it and laugh at it, you don't understand the Olympic history of table tennis.
In July 2021, the list of women's teams representing national table tennis in the Tokyo Olympics is: Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Liu Shiwen, and P card Wang Manyu.
On July 24, the table tennis competition of the Tokyo Olympics officially began. On July 26, Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen lost 3-4 to Mizutani Hayabusa/Misei Ito in the mixed doubles final and missed the gold medal.
On August 1, after the start of the women's team, fans were shocked to find that Liu Shiwen was replaced by the previous P card player Wang Manyu. In the end, it was Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu who won the gold medal in the women's team at the Tokyo Olympics.
Why did the Chinese team change players on the spot? Clear-eyed people know at a glance that this should be a plan that the coaching staff has set before the start of the Tokyo Olympics, and Liu Shiwen entered the women's team list for the purpose of asking her to play mixed doubles.
It is conceivable that the women's team Olympic preparations of the table tennis teams of many countries revolve around Liu Shiwen, but unexpectedly, the Chinese team made a false shot and replaced it with Wang Manyu, and all the previous preparations for Liu Shiwen failed.
Because everyone's Olympic preparations ignored Wang Manyu, this even led to the fact that at the World Championships in Houston after the Olympic Games, the women's singles champion was not Olympic champion Chen Meng, nor Olympic runner-up Sun Yingsha, but Wang Manyu.
From the Tokyo Olympics, we can know that the Olympic list of table tennis is not immutable, but can be replaced.
So, let's go back to the list of national table tennis for the Paris Olympics this time.
Fans who have been watching table tennis matches all the way must have left a big question mark in their hearts in the past two months: they always feel that Ma Long won the World Cup in Macau, and Chen Meng won the Saudi Grand Slam championship is a bit bizarre. If you think about it deeply, you will still feel that Wang Chuqin did not participate in the Incheon Championship, and Liang Jingkun won the championship in the Incheon Championship; Fan Zhendong has not won a championship this year; Wang Manyu lost to India's Batra in the round of 32 of the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, etc., which are a little abnormal.
That's right, since the Olympic list can be replaced, it is not possible to ensure that there are still some schemes hidden in the Olympic list of national table tennis.
In fact, not only the Olympic list of national table tennis may be mysterious, but the Olympic list of some national table tennis teams is also false.
For example, the Tokyo Olympic champion of the Japanese team, Misei Ito, did not enter the Paris Olympics list, but the ticket was given to 15-year-old Miwa Zhangmoto; Germany's Francesca, who finished silver in men's singles at the Saudi Grand Slam last week, also did not get a ticket to the Paris Olympics.
Of course, the table tennis teams of those countries with few high-level players will not be able to play this trick. For example, Aruna of Nigeria also wants to take a teammate to cover in front of him first, but if you look at the whole country, he is the only one who is eligible to compete.
