On July 31, Beijing time, in the Paris Olympics table tennis men's singles round of 32, Chinese player Wang Chuqin lost 2:4 to Sweden's Moregard and missed the round of 16. In this competition, Wang Chuqin played in the team, mixed doubles, and men's singles. In the previous mixed doubles competition, he partnered with Sun Yingsha to win the championship. Next, he will also compete in the men's team competition.
On the evening of July 30, Beijing time, after the table tennis mixed doubles final of the Paris Olympic Games, Wang Chuqin's racket on the sidelines was accidentally stepped on by a photojournalist.
For table tennis players, each person will have a customary racket, which is the main board. There are no special cases, and it is rare to take the initiative to replace the motherboard. In the face of an event of this level at the Olympic Games, athletes are even more cautious in the selection and protection of the main board. This small accident made Wang Chuqin very helpless, firstly, this racket is of great significance to him, and secondly, he still has singles and team competitions to play later.
