Competitive sports are not entertainment, fan circle culture kills Sun Yingsha, and fans make players lose gold medals

August 4th, Beijing time: Sun Yingsha, a Chinese table tennis woman who has been eroded by the culture of the fan circle, lost to teammate Chen Meng again in the women's singles final of the Paris Olympics and was the runner-up, and Sun Yingsha also lost to Chen Meng with the same score in the last Tokyo Olympics and was the runner-up. It is worth noting that in the game, Sun Yingsha's fans have turned the South Paris Arena into her home stadium, and the cheers of the fans also made Sun Yingsha invisibly carry too much pressure, on the other hand, Chen Meng, who traveled lightly, played steadily and finally won the championship.

In this women's singles final, Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, and Olympic champions Zhang Yining and Ding Ning were all watching the game. The emotional spectators in the stadium also held all kinds of banners and props to support the players, among which Sun Yingsha's fans accounted for the vast majority, which also made foreign reporters ask the soul torture after the game: both sides of the game are Chinese players, why a duel between two Chinese players, so many spectators will only cheer for one of them, but Chen Meng has become the neglected one.

Throughout the game, Sun Yingsha was a little impatient in handling the key ball, which was actually related to the atmosphere of the fans on the scene, and the enthusiastic support of the fans made it impossible for Sun Yingsha to focus only on the game.

The Olympic spirit is "faster, higher, stronger", which is also the most fundamental difference between competitive sports and the entertainment industry, Sun Yingsha's fans brought the set of entertainment stars to the table tennis arena, this kind of fan circle culture has obviously eroded to Sun Yingsha's state, once she meets an opponent of equal strength, the fan circle culture has really become Sun Yingsha's biggest stumbling block.
