Focus on sports information and pay attention to hot news.
After the International Table Tennis Federation announced the 20th week of the world rankings, the national table tennis official announced the list of participants for the Paris Olympics.
With the announcement of the list, it instantly sparked heated discussions, and the most concentrated issue was undoubtedly the selection of women's singles.
Although the women's singles list is more controversial, the men's singles candidate is also not expected.
The two players selected for the men's singles are Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong.
If it was placed a year ago, Fan Zhendong would not have any objection to being selected for the Olympic Games, at that time, Xiaopang had completely taken over Ma Long, not only had an advantage in fighting each other, but was basically able to crush players from various foreign associations, and the world ranking was ahead of the fault line, and it was completely a lonely existence.
However, in less than a year, Fan Zhendong has given fans a taste of what is called the concept of light speed slippage, and so far, Fan Zhendong has not won a singles championship for more than 300 days.
The state and results during this period are not as good as Ma Long, and they are not even as good as Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan.
Being able to be selected for the Olympic singles list is completely "eating the old book" in the eyes of many fans, mainly because Fan Zhendong's previous points are too strong.
It is conceivable that if there is no greater controversy between Chen Meng and Wang Manyu on one side, Fan Zhendong's selection is bound to cause very extensive controversy and discussion.
Fan Zhendong, as a player, of course, knows this, and the pressure on his body is self-evident.
With the release of the Olympic list, all the players in the national table tennis team remained silent, whether they were selected or unselected, everyone did not speak out on social platforms in a unified manner, so as not to be regarded as a "bird", only several major coaches of national table tennis, including Li Falcon, Ma Lin, Wang Hao and others, came forward to explain the selection mechanism to fans, which can be regarded as an official response to the controversy.
Late at night on May 15, to the surprise of many fans, the first player to stand up and speak out was not Chen Meng or Wang Manyu who were in the whirlpool of public opinion, nor was it the veteran Ma Long.
It's the equally controversial Fan Zhendong.
On his personal social platform, Fan Zhendong used two English words to let fans witness his determination and goals.
“Last dance”——最后一舞！
These are two English words that Fan Zhendong said succinctly.
For Fan Zhendong, two words are simple but not easy.
The last dance means the last time to hit the Olympic men's singles gold medal, and it means the last chance to hit the Grand Slam.
This is self-encouragement, and there is a kind of determination and heroism that breaks the cauldron and breaks the wrist of a strong man.
You must know that Fan Zhendong is only 27 years old this year, and he is in the year of playing, even if he is only 31 years old after four years, as long as he maintains his form, he still has the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games for the third time, and Ma Long won the Olympic men's singles gold medal for the second time and is also over 30 years old.
However, at this time, in addition to expressing determination, I am afraid that even Xiaopang himself feels that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to hit the Grand Slam again in the future.
With Fan Zhendong's voice, many fans have left messages to cheer for Xiaopang, of course, there are also some fans who are optimistic about Xiaopang's prospects, thinking that Fan Zhendong in this state is too difficult to win the championship.
Do you think Fan Zhendong can realize his dream in Paris?
