Recently, the competition for the women's singles quota at the Paris Olympics has attracted widespread attention, especially in the Chinese table tennis team, where the competition between two top players, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng, has become a hot topic.
Chen Meng performed well in the Saudi Grand Slam competition, winning the world championship title, and her strength and achievements undoubtedly make her a strong candidate to represent the Chinese team at the Paris Olympics. However, Wang Manyu has also been outstanding throughout the Olympic cycle, winning more world titles than Chen Meng, making her qualification for the Women's Singles equally impressive.
In this competition, the voices of the outside world are full of divisions. On the one hand, the votes held by the state media show that Wang Manyu's popularity far exceeds that of Chen Meng and the rest of the team, and her votes have exceeded 8,000, which shows the high expectations of fans. On the other hand, Chen Meng only received just over 500 votes in the vote, ranking second to last, which seemed to be in stark contrast to her performance in the Circle.
However, despite Wang's lead in the vote, she ultimately failed to qualify for the women's singles at the Paris Olympics. This result was undoubtedly a huge blow to her career. According to reports, within 24 hours of the announcement of the Olympic roster by national table tennis, Wang Manyu remained silent and did not respond to this. Behind the silence is infinite regret for dreams, and it is also a deep helplessness for the rules.
In Chen Meng's speech after winning the championship in Saudi Arabia, we can feel her cherishing of this victory and her expectation for future challenges. In the end, whether it is Wang Manyu's silence or Chen Meng's tears, they are the precious wealth left by table tennis on the Olympic stage.
As the Olympic Games approach, let's look forward to the athletes who can represent their country, not just for victory, but also for the Olympic spirit of never giving up. Let's cheer them on and cheer for their dreams. On that starry stage, every star deserves to be seen, and every dream deserves to be realized.
