Truth! The "reason" for Wang Manyu's defeat in the Olympic women's singles was found, and Liu Guoliang had already laid out in advance
On May 14, Beijing time, the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced all athletes participating in the Paris Olympics. Among them, Wang Manyu, who has always been good at playing foreign wars, finally failed to qualify for women's singles and only got the opportunity to participate in the women's team competition. Previously, Li Falcon had been characterized as: "Wang Yidi, who is no longer suitable to compete for the Olympic women's singles qualification, has become a P card player." ”
After the announcement of the squad, many fans are also very curious, why did Wang Manyu lose the women's singles? What advantage did Chen Meng rely on to reverse Wang Manyu? Regarding this question, Ma Lin, head coach of the national table tennis women's team, gave a relevant answer.
Judging from Ma Lin's answer, Liu Guoliang has actually begun to make a layout, and it is under this kind of layout that Wang Manyu failed to qualify for the Olympic women's singles.
Let's take a look at how Ma Lin interprets Wang Manyu's failure to qualify for women's singles.
Ma Lin said when interpreting the national table tennis Olympic squad: "Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng were selected for the singles list because of the top two Olympic selection points!" ”
These words actually gave the direct reason for Wang Manyu's defeat, that is, Wang Manyu lost to Chen Meng under the rules.
In the just-concluded Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, Wang Manyu lost 3,000 points to the final Olympic selection points because of his loss to foreign association player Batra! I worked hard for more than half a year, but it fell short!
At this year's Singapore Grand Slam, Liu Guoliang and the national table tennis suddenly revised the selection rules for the Olympic women's singles. This new rule is also regarded as a big game of chess laid out by Liu Guoliang for the national table tennis women's singles in advance! The purpose is to select the most competitive and capable players to represent the Chinese team in the Olympic Games.
After the rules were announced, Wang Yidi became the first person to be "out". She was announced in advance by Li Falcon that she would not qualify for the Olympic Women's Singles. And Wang Manyu became the second "out".
Judging from the process of Wang Manyu and Chen Meng's competition for the Olympic women's singles, Wang Manyu has been a catch-up since the Singapore Grand Slam.
When it comes to the key Saudi Arabia competition, Wang Manyu has a chance to surpass Chen Meng and qualify for the Olympic women's singles as long as she continues her performance in the previous three stops. But in the key Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, Wang Manyu broke out a super upset, losing 2-3 to India's Batra! Stopped in the top 32 of women's singles.
This loss is also the fundamental reason why Wang Manyu missed the Olympic women's singles.
Speaking of which, many fans should be more curious, why did Wang Manyu lose at a critical moment?
We can take a look at Wang Manyu's results in the previous 3 stops. Singapore Grand Slam, Wang Manyu defeated Wang Yidi and won the women's singles championship. In the Incheon Championship, Wang Manyu broke into the final, lost to Sun Yingsha, and won the runner-up. In the Macau Singles World Cup, Wang Manyu broke into the final again, continued to lose to Sun Yingsha, and won the runner-up.
The players who have entered the finals for 3 consecutive times have been upset and stopped in the top 32 at a critical moment. It can only show that Wang Manyu's mentality should be wrong. Otherwise, her grades have always been very stable, and it is impossible for her to have this kind of gutter overturning.
Mentality problem + Olympic points are not as good as Chen Meng, which is probably the 2 key reasons why Wang Manyu was not selected for the Olympic women's singles.
