The national table tennis coaching staff has set the official list of participants for the Paris Olympics, a total of 5 events have 8 athletes selected, 35-year-old veteran Ma Long led the men's team, Liang Jingkun and Wang Yidi are wild card substitutes, the remaining 5 people also have Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, Chen Meng, Fan Zhendong and Wang Manyu, and the singles quota is Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, Chen Meng, Fan Zhendong These 4 people.

Since the Paris Olympics list has been decided, the national table tennis coaching staff began to relieve pressure on the athletes, for example, the WTT Taiyuan event made many main players absent, and the men's singles only Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Shidong Zhou Qihao participated, and the three absolute main forces of Long Fattou were absent. On the women's singles side, only Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong participated, and Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu chose to be absent. Before the Paris Olympics, these national table tennis players will not participate casually, and they are currently confirmed to participate in the WTT Chongqing Championships.

The WTT Star Challenge Ljubljana that started on June 11, the first team of the national table tennis team withdrew en masse, and no player participated, and it was already the final stage before the Paris Olympics.

At present, according to official information, the top 5 seeds in the men's singles of the WTT Star Challenge Ljubljana are Felix Lebrun, Hugo, Tomokazu Zhangmoto, Qiu Dang, and Ocharov, and the top 5 seeds in the women's singles are Hina Hayata, Shin Yubin, Miwa Zhangmoto, Misei Ito, and Diaz.

The Paris Olympics is an important event for national table tennis, and they missed the opportunity to win five gold medals at the last Tokyo Olympics, losing the mixed doubles event to Japanese table tennis Mimato Ito and Mizutani Hayabusa. This time, Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Table Tennis Association, is fully prepared, and the post-00 combination Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin have been playing together throughout the Paris cycle, winning the mixed doubles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships and many gold medals in major competitions, ranking first in the world for a long time, and is currently the strongest mixed doubles combination in theory, and the Shatou combination has the opportunity to win the first mixed doubles Olympic gold medal in national table tennis.

At the same time, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are also the busiest national table tennis players at the Paris Olympics, both of whom are wearing 3 sports, in addition to mixed doubles, they also need to play in team and singles, and their personal tasks are heavy and they are under a lot of pressure. From this point of view, Liu Guoliang and the national table tennis coaching staff naturally need to give athletes more time to prepare, and some events can be given up, after all, they are far less important than the Paris Olympics.
