On June 29, the Chinese table tennis team was conducting a closed training camp in Chengdu, and the Chinese Olympic Committee confirmed the men's singles qualifications of Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong for the Paris Olympics, and the women's singles qualifications for Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng. Recently, a number of former national table tennis players have returned to the national table tennis to visit the team that is training in a closed manner, and the identities of these former national players are now different.

In order to sprint to prepare for the Paris Olympics, the national table tennis team no longer participated in the competition after the WTT Chongqing Championships and went to Chengdu for closed training. During the closed training period, the national table tennis erected large posters of the main opponents according to the convention, held intra-team competitions many times, and invited Olympic champions, world champions, industry experts, etc. to enter the team for exchanges and experience sharing. Previously, Zhang Yining, Deng Yaping, and Wang Nan were all invited to return to China Table Tennis, and they also guided Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, and Wang Manyu one-on-one from the court and off the court. Li Xiaoxia, the fourth Grand Slam winner of the national table tennis women's team, was also invited to return to the team a few days ago, and after seeing the familiar venue, the familiar five rings, and the familiar teammates, she couldn't help but go up and pull twice, and Li Xiaoxia, who participated in the London and Rio Olympics and won 3 golds and 1 silver, also shared her experience with the players, including her former teammates.

There are many other former national players who entered the team to visit the national table tennis at the same time as Li Xiaoxia, and now everyone's identities are also different. Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen, who fought side by side with Li Xiaoxia in the Rio Olympics and won the gold medal in the women's team, also returned to China table tennis, and the three met again in the national team.

Ding Ning, like Li Xiaoxia, participated in the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Olympic Games, winning 3 golds and 1 silver, and achieved a Grand Slam after winning the women's singles gold medal at the Rio Olympics; Liu Shiwen participated in the 2016 Rio and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, winning one gold and one silver, and not being able to compete in the singles competition at the Olympics has also become a big regret for Liu Shiwen's athlete career. Like Liu Shiwen, Xu Xin, who participated in two Olympic Games in Rio and Tokyo and won two golds and one silver, also returned to the team to visit his former teammates who were preparing for the competition. Fan Zhendong and Ma Long, who won the men's team gold medal with Xu Xin at the Tokyo Olympics, will both compete in the Paris Olympics.

In addition, Olympic champion Chen Xi, who served as the coach of the national table tennis, former national player Zhang Chao, former team member Fang Bo and others were seconded to China at the beginning of the closed training camp of the national table tennis to help the team prepare for the game, and the former head coach of the national table tennis men's team, Lu Guangzu, also returned to the team. The world champion Qiao Yunping and the Olympic champion Wang Liqin, who have now embarked on their official careers, respectively represented Shandong, Shanghai, Beijing, Heilongjiang, Hebei and other places, and the relevant personnel also came to the national table tennis to visit the athletes of the various teams preparing for the competition and watch the internal competition of the national table tennis team. According to the official account of the Heilongjiang Sports Bureau, the national table tennis will go to the Paris Olympics on July 15, Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu will attack the mixed doubles, women's singles, men's singles, women's team, and men's team five gold medals.
