Focus on sports information and pay attention to hot topics.
On May 14, Beijing time, the complete list of participants in the high-profile national table tennis Paris Olympics was finally announced.
With the official announcement of the list, it rushed to the top of the hot search list for a while, which shows how much Chinese people pay attention to table tennis.
Due to the very high threshold for selection for the Olympic Games, it is too difficult for the talented national table tennis players to be selected.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and those who qualify for the competition must shoulder the heavy responsibility of winning gold, and if they lose gold, they will also be criticized by fans.
The shortlisted list can be said to have implemented the previously announced selection plan well.
Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and other famous players were all selected for singles and team events;
Ma Long and Wang Manyu will play as important members of the team competition;
Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha's "Shatou" combination will shoulder the heavy responsibility of the mixed doubles event;
In addition, Liang Jingkun and Wang Yidi also obtained the qualification as substitutes with their outstanding strength.
The men's Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Shidong and the women's Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi and other players unfortunately failed.
The announcement of this list not only aroused heated discussions among fans, but also aroused responses from domestic and foreign media and celebrities.
In the face of many netizens' doubts and dissatisfaction, let's see how several national table tennis coaches responded.
Li Falcon, the head coach of the national table tennis team, said after the list was announced:
"The coaching staff strictly follows the selection method, and the final selected Olympic squad will represent China, which will definitely win glory for the country and continue to write the glory of national table tennis."
As the head coach of the national table tennis, Coach Li Falcon did not comment on a certain player, but emphasized that the selection was carried out in strict accordance with the standards.
And the head coach of the men's team, Wang Hao, also responded:
"Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong deserve to be the top two singles and team members in the selection. Ma Long has participated in many Olympic Games, won three men's team and two men's singles championships, and his performance in various competitions in the past year is also obvious to all. ”
After praising the Dragons, Wang Hao also explained Liang's selection, believing that Liang's selection is due to "what the coaching staff values is his progress and strength in the Paris Olympic cycle." ”
The head coach of the women's team, Ma Lin, praised several selected players, including Wang Manyu.
Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng were ranked in the top two in the Olympic selection points and were selected for the singles list.
In the whole process of preparation, Wang Manyu has well demonstrated the spirit of tenacious struggle, winning glory for the country and personal strength, and is the best candidate to serve as the third person in the group.
The selection of P card players mainly considers doubles ability and comprehensive strength in recent years, and the coaching staff unanimously believes that Wang Yidi is the most suitable. ”
The reason why the Olympic roster has sparked such a wide discussion is mainly focused on the selection of women's singles.
Specifically, it is a question of the trade-off between Chen Meng and Wang Manyu.
Many netizens, including celebrities, expressed dissatisfaction with Wang Manyu's defeat.
Among them is Zhang Xuefeng, a well-known graduate school teacher.
As Wang Manyu's hometown, Zhang Xuefeng has always been a fan of Wang Manyu, and after learning that Wang Manyu was not selected for the singles list, he expressed his grievances:
"Wang Manyu is my fellow countryman and the pride of Qiqihar! Every key point in a key game, without our fellow countrymen to turn the tide, there would have been no hegemon, this is my favorite female table tennis player, not only because I am a fellow countryman, but I can really stand up at the critical moment! ”
At the end, Zhang Xuefeng also added: "I will ask you to be the spokesperson of our company sooner or later!! ”
It can be seen that although some fans still have some controversy about the list of national table tennis participants, in general, the results of this selection are fair and reasonable.
The Olympic selection plan was issued from last year and April-May, and although a revision of the points deduction for losing to players from other associations was added in April this year, there is no hemiplegia in the specific cases of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu.
Because as of the deadline of the 20th week of May 14, Chen Meng is ranked ahead of Wang Manyu in both the world ranking and the Olympic points ranking.
It can only be said that Wang Manyu is very regretful that he lost a game that he should not lose at the Saudi Grand Slam and lost a good game.
