Sun Yingsha congratulated Chen Meng, "I think her performance today is very good, and she is more determined than me. Looking forward to the future, Sun Yingsha said that she still has a chance, and she will strengthen herself and hit the gold medal again.

Don't let the fan circle culture erode Chinese table tennis
In this women's singles final, the stands of the South Paris Arena can be described as full of friends. Through the TV broadcast lens, we saw Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, full of spring breeze, and we saw Olympic champions Zhang Yining and Ding Ning engrossed. Of course, throughout the game, the grandstand scenery captured by the TV camera was more of an emotional spectator, holding a variety of banners and props, frantically cheering for the players. After each player's shot, the hysterical shouts in the stands came and went, and even when the player was ready to serve, someone occasionally made an inappropriate sound.
The performance of some spectators in the stands surprised foreign audiences. In particular, they couldn't understand why many viewers favored one over the other in a matchup between two Chinese players, cheering for one of them and ignoring the other.
Sports lovers who have paid attention to table tennis in recent years should be no stranger to such a scene.
I don't know when it began, the fan circle culture began to erode Chinese table tennis, and table tennis players were forced to become traffic leaders, in various large and small competitions, there will always be many spectators in the stands, sparing no effort to support the athletes they support, turning a sports game into a "fan chasing star meeting", which makes fans who just want to watch the game quietly very uncomfortable. What's more, from crossing the line on the field to life, he touched the red line of the law. The athletes were unbearable, and the General Administration of Sport of China, the Chinese Olympic Committee and other relevant departments also publicly boycotted, but it seems that it has had little effect.
So, as spectators, how should we enjoy high-level table tennis matches so as not to make others feel uncomfortable?
Back to the women's singles final of the Olympic Games, as members of the national table tennis team, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng both represented China, and both of them were defending the honor of Chinese table tennis. Whoever wins, the number of gold medals in the Chinese sports delegation will increase by one. Starting from the overall situation, on the international stage, which only comes once every four years, this is an excellent opportunity to show China's sports style and export the value of Chinese table tennis, applaud and shout for the athletes of both sides, create a warm and fair competition atmosphere, abide by the civilized etiquette of watching the game, and implement the spirit of sportsmanship and the Olympic spirit, which is what the audience should really do.
More than 300 accounts maliciously attacked athletes and were banned
On the 4th, the Weibo administrator posted: On the 3rd, the Chinese team won the gold and silver medals in the women's singles final of the 2024 Paris Olympics table tennis. However, during the competition, the irrational behavior of some spectators sparked controversy on the Internet, and some users took this opportunity to carry and reprint malicious speculation from outside the station, and even posted irrational remarks attacking athletes and coaching staff, which was severely dealt with by the station.
According to the "Weibo Community Convention" and other relevant regulations, the station has cleaned up more than 12,000 pieces of illegal content in the past two days for behaviors such as trampling and malicious attacks in the discussion of relevant events, and has banned more than 300 illegal accounts such as @Rebirth's Button Cobalt Luxi, @川渝喇叭花, @想努力进步的gungun, and @假宁qwq according to the degree of temporary banning and even permanent banning.
If you like table tennis and sports, then let us respect every athlete who strives for their dreams and cherish the hard-won image and prestige of Chinese sports.
