On May 14, the Chinese table tennis team announced the list of participants for the Paris Olympics, and the competition for women's singles places in this Olympic Games was particularly fierce.
The Tokyo Olympic women's singles champion will once again defend her title, while her teammate Ma Long missed out on the men's singles quota and regretted her third consecutive Olympic title.
The competition for singles places in the Chinese women's team has reached a white-hot stage, Sun Yingsha locked a singles place in advance with an absolute lead, Wang Yidi withdrew from the competition in advance because of the loss of the foreign war, and finally the duel between Chen Meng and Wang Manyu became a decisive match.
Chen Meng, the world No. 4 player, is not only facing competition from his teammates, but also a challenge to his own form. Her performance at the Saudi Grand Slam was also an important turning point in her career. She successively defeated Miu Hirano, Miwa Zhangmoto, Hina Hayada and other major Japanese Olympic players, and finally defeated Sun Yingsha in the final and won the long-lost championship. This victory not only gained a lot of points and rankings, but also gave a huge boost to his confidence.
Chen Meng said with emotion after the match: "After winning the Singapore Grand Slam championship two years ago, I have reached the finals in the past two years, but unfortunately I failed to win the championship. I think this opportunity is very rare, maybe my efforts have been favored by God. These words lightly skimmed the bitterness and tears of the past two years, and only she knew the suffering.
During the Paris Olympic cycle, Chen Meng experienced a two-year "championship drought", and his world ranking once fell to fourth. Fortunately, she did not give up, and has been practicing her skills and tactics hard to seek new breakthroughs. In the Macau competition in April, although she lost to Sun Yingsha and stopped in the semi-finals, she said that she had a new breakthrough in this competition and sought some new ways from the competition.
In the end, with the 2,000 points of the Saudi Grand Slam women's singles championship, Chen Meng rose from fourth to second in the world, beating Wang Manyu and winning the second Olympic singles qualification of the Chinese women's team. This news, for Chen Meng, is the best reward for her unremitting efforts.
Chen Meng, she used her own experience to tell us that no matter how difficult and challenging we face, as long as we don't give up, there will always be a breakthrough day.
Chen Meng's selection is not just a simple list of names, but the best proof of an inspirational story. In the national table tennis team full of masters, Chen Meng used his own experience to tell us that no matter how difficult and challenging we face, as long as we don't give up, there will always be a breakthrough day. Chen Meng is ready for the Paris Olympics, let us look forward to her wonderful performance and write a brilliant chapter for Chinese table tennis.
