Chen Meng suddenly felt relieved that she had finally realized her Olympic dream, but she was also a little apprehensive in her heart, thinking of her unsuccessful teammate Wang Manyu.
Wang Manyu, who was standing on the side, felt a burst of disappointment and helplessness, her eyes were slightly moist, and she tried hard to suppress her emotions.
She knew she hadn't been good enough in recent games, but she still couldn't accept the brutal result.
"I'm sorry, Manyu." Chen Meng looked at Wang Manyu, and his heart was full of guilt and sadness.
"It's okay, Chen Meng, this is the rule." Wang Manyu said with a smile, but the loss in her heart could not be concealed.
The whole training ground fell silent, and everyone was regretting the result. This selection is not only a competition for personal honor, but also a test of one's own strength and efforts.

At that point in time, the three young athletes, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, were full of desire to qualify for the Olympics, and they trained hard every day to be able to represent their country at the Olympics.
An unexpected change occurred before the Singapore Grand Slam. After that match, the national table tennis coaching team re-examined the performance of the team competition and realized the importance of foreign performance for selection.
This decision has left the entire national team in deep thought and nervousness, as it means that the rules of the past have been broken and the new selection criteria will redefine the fate of the players.

"Wang Yidi, come over here." A coach shouted at Wang Yidi with a calm face.
Wang Yidi was shocked, she knew that this could mean bad news. She walked up to the coach with heavy steps, a hint of worry and nervousness in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Yidi, but according to the new selection rules, you are not eligible to participate in the Olympics for the time being." The coach's voice reached her ears, and every word was like a sharp knife piercing her heart.
Wang Yidi was speechless, she could only silently accept this cruel truth. She knew that this was the cruel rule of competitive sports, but the loss and helplessness in her heart could not be expressed.
The entire national team was shocked and puzzled by the decision, and the revised rules have shifted the focus of competition to Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, who will face even more fierce competition and greater challenges.
