BEIJING, May 16 (Xinhua) -- In the high-profile competition for women's singles table tennis at the Paris Olympics, Chen Meng successfully won the precious Olympic women's singles qualification by beating Wang Manyu with her outstanding performance in the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam. However, this result has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet, and Chen Meng has even suffered serious cyber attacks and abuse, which has aroused widespread concern and indignation in society.
In this controversy, Zhang Xuefeng, a celebrity in the education industry, also joined the discussion and publicly expressed support for Wang Manyu, which undoubtedly added more heat to the discussion. The sports world does not seem to have been spared the erosion of fan circle culture, and some people do not hesitate to take extreme measures in order to chase traffic, which seriously affects the preparation and daily life of athletes.
In this regard, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China issued a firm voice at the National Sports Publicity and Culture Work Conference held on May 16. They made it clear that they would resolutely resist the deformed fan circle culture, believing that it is not only harmful to the physical and mental health of athletes, but also extremely detrimental to the development of national sports. To this end, the General Administration of the People's Republic of China has called on the public to follow stars rationally and respect the personal rights and interests of athletes, and has set up reporting reception windows in various places to solve problems such as online violence and interference with athletes' training.
The statement is a powerful response to a series of recent incidents, including athletes such as Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong, who have been plagued by fan circle culture, and their personal information has been maliciously disseminated, causing public concern. This phenomenon not only has a negative impact on the mental state of the athletes, but also hinders their ability to focus on training and preparing for competition.
In the face of this situation, the statement of the General Administration of Sports is particularly timely and necessary. By resolutely resisting and managing the fan circle culture, the General Administration hopes to create a good preparation environment for athletes, so that they can wholeheartedly win glory for the country. At the same time, it is also a warning to "Wang Manyu fans" and other excesses, calling on them to stop excessive aggression and abuse, and treat the competition and controversy between athletes rationally.
In another piece of news, the reason why Wang Manyu failed to qualify for the women's singles at the Paris Olympics was also revealed. Ma Lin, the head coach of the national table tennis women's team, pointed out when interpreting the Olympic squad that Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng were successfully selected because of the top two points, while Wang Manyu lost to an Indian player in the Saudi Grand Slam tournament and deducted 3,000 points, unfortunately losing the selection. This result is not accidental, but the result of Liu Guoliang's revision of the Olympic women's singles selection rules after taking charge of the national team, aiming to select the most competitive players to represent China in the Olympics.
After the Singapore Grand Slam, Wang Manyu has been in the role of a catch-up. Although he fought back in the next game, he suffered a defeat in the key Saudi Arabian event and lost the opportunity to overtake Chen Meng. This result exposed Wang Manyu's shortcomings in mentality and points, which led to the final defeat.
Liu Guoliang's reform is intended to eliminate those players who are considered "unqualified" and achieve a major reshuffle and change of the national team. This fair competition inevitably creates the reality that some people become "victims". It's a high-pressure test, and only a fighter with top strength and mental qualities will survive the brutal competition.
Wang Manyu's defeat was not accidental, but the inevitable result of fair competition. This incident reveals Liu Guoliang's adjustment of the national team's management policy, as well as the efforts and sacrifices of Chinese table tennis to move to a higher level. Under the guidance of the General Administration of Sports, we believe that the sports industry will gradually get rid of the troubles of fan circle culture and achieve a healthier and sustainable development.
