With the approach of the Olympic Games, the national table tennis team has also begun to enter the intense preparation sprint, and will rush from Beijing to Chengdu for the final closed training camp.

Unexpectedly, there were some discordant episodes along the way - some crazy Wang Manyu fans chased and intercepted the national table tennis coaching team, just to ask Ma Lin for an explanation.

In fact, after the final selection list of the National Table Tennis Olympics was released, many Wang Manyu fans signed a 10,000-character long letter to the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, but they have not been able to get a response, so some of them began to pull out large banners at the door of the General Administration of Sports, and even pulled all the way to Beijing Airport and Chengdu Airport.

What's even more exaggerated is that when Li Falcon and Coach Ma Lin walked out of Chengdu Airport, there were already fans who had been waiting here for a long time shouting at them, asking for a response to their questions, emotional and very unfriendly.

So, what do these fans want the national table tennis to respond to?

Naturally, it was because Wang Manyu failed to be selected for the women's singles at the Paris Olympics.

Some fans and media people do not particularly recognize this selection rule of national table tennis, and their questions mainly focus on two points:

The first point is that in the entire Paris Olympic cycle, Wang Manyu's performance is far better than Chen Meng, and he also won the National Games championship and the World Championships, and in the last few WTT events, except for the unexpected loss of the Saudi Arabian station, whether it is the Macau World Cup or the Chongqing Championship, Wang Manyu has reached the final, and played a more exciting game with Sun Yingsha, showing a good competitive state.

The second point is that when Wang Manyu faced the Japanese women's table tennis, the most powerful imaginary opponent of national table tennis in the Paris Olympics, her record was an astonishing 21-0.

Is it reasonable for such an excellent player to miss the most important Olympic singles quota in his sports career because of the "temporarily introduced" rule of "3,000 points will be deducted for losing foreign wars" stipulated by the national table tennis system?

What's more, football reporter He Xiaolong also openly declared on his personal social media at this juncture that Wang Manyu is the "recognized" second in strength, pointing the finger at Chen Meng and the national table tennis coaching team, implying that the selection list is unfair.

And Zhang Xuefeng, another well-known self-media person, also openly supported Wang Manyu on personal social media, not only claiming that the hegemony of women's table tennis today can only be maintained by Wang Manyu, but also hinting on various occasions that Wang Manyu, who was born in a civilian family, would be excluded because he had no background.

For a while, public opinion was turbulent, as if the national table tennis had really created a lot of unfairness.

But is that really the case?

As we all know, in this Olympic cycle, in addition to Sun Yingsha's unbeatable ride and early qualification for the women's singles, Wang Yidi, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng have all had the opportunity to compete for this last spot.

And after the author's previous clumsy work [Kan Sports] lost to Batra, Wang Manyu's Olympic qualification was suspended? Among them, it has been described in detail how Wang Yidi and Wang Manyu lost this place, and how Chen Meng achieved overtaking.

In fact, the rule of "deducting 3,000 points for losing foreign wars" was introduced in early March this year, when the two hardest players in women's table tennis were recognized as Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu.

But who would have thought that Wang Manyu would unexpectedly lose to an Indian player in the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam in May?

And is it Batra, who has never lost before, and not long ago even played 3-0 in a relaxed and happy position?

As a competitor, Chen Meng completed a series of three against the three main forces of Japanese women's table tennis in the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam, and also defeated Sun Yingsha in the final......

This is equivalent to the fact that you are the first in every mock test, but in the end, when you come to the college entrance examination, you don't do well, but you have to use your usual mock test results to talk about things, is this reasonable?

Perhaps the provision of "deducting 3,000 points for losing a foreign war" has its inappropriateness, but the rules are the rules, and it cannot be said that because there is an accident, the rules must have exceptions.

And when it comes to turning the tide and maintaining the dominance of women's table tennis, not to mention that the honor of the champion team of women's table tennis is not at all supported by just one or two people, nor does it say that the spirit of unity and cooperation that national table tennis has repeatedly emphasized, let's just say that at the Busan World Table Tennis Team Championships not long ago, wasn't it Chen Meng who defeated Zhang Benmeihe under great pressure to keep the championship?

These fanatical fans of Wang Manyu, as well as those media people who jumped up and down, pointed the finger at the national table tennis team at this critical juncture of Olympic preparations.

This kind of behavior not only hurts the national table tennis team, but also hurts Wang Manyu personally.

Let's ask, when something like this happens, how should you, the fans and media people, behave in front of her teammates and coaches?

As for whether Wang Manyu still has a chance to play in the women's singles......

Theoretically, there are certainly opportunities.

According to the ITTF regulations, the list that has already been submitted can be amended until July 8, the deadline for registration for the Paris Olympics. However, if the player with the highest ranking is not selected in the first registration, he or she will not be allowed to enter the final list of participants in the future.

However, at present, the singles list of the Chinese table tennis team for the Paris Olympics has only been officially announced by the association to the outside world, and has not yet been officially reported and confirmed to the International Table Tennis Federation.

But as we said earlier, rules are rules, and now that the Olympic roster has been announced, there is almost no chance of substitutions unless there is any force majeure.

Therefore, Wang Manyu's Olympic singles qualification is only a theoretical possibility.
