On October 7, Beijing time, how busy was Sun Yingsha? Just look at her schedule, she embarked on the journey with less than 24 hours of rest, and she was the most tired.
The Chinese Grand Slam came to a successful conclusion, and as the home field, the national table tennis did not let any of the championships fall aside, and won all 5 individual championships. But now that the game is over, all the national table tennis players can't get any rest at all, because they will immediately go to the Asian Championships on the 8th, just like Sun Yingsha said after the game, she and most of the main national table tennis players will rush overnight and go out in the starry night.
Just after the game, Sun Yingsha said bluntly in an interview: "Her outlook for the future games is to do a good job in every game, because the Beijing Grand Slam has just ended, and she will leave for the Asian Championships tomorrow, and I hope that she can better devote herself to the preparation for the Asian Championships." At present, the schedule of the Asian Championships has been exposed, and the national table tennis women's team will play directly at 15 o'clock on October 8, facing a team in the qualifying round.
At the same time, the men's team played at 13 o'clock at noon on the 8th, facing Iran. What's even more embarrassing is that in the Asian Championships, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and others are 1000% unable to rest. The reason is very simple, because the Asian Championships national table tennis is training newcomers, and the men's team is led by a 29-year-old Lin Gaoyuan, including Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, and Lin Shidong, and Zhou Qihao is not young.
In addition to the women's team Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi of this round of travel is also here, but she is very unstable. The other two people are Kuo Man and Shi Xunyao, you said that on this lineup, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu If you don't play, can you rest assured that Kuo Man in 04 and Shi Xunyao in 01 will play? In the first game, there will definitely be veterans on the field, so she and Wang Manyu will definitely not be able to rest, no matter how they have to be one, there is a high probability that Sun Yingsha will have to play again.
On the men's team, I am not sure who is a single, I don't know whether it is Lin Shidong or Wang Chuqin, but at least someone can share the pressure, if the women's team wants to win in insurance, then Sun Yingsha must be 100% on the field. That's why after beating Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha didn't celebrate at all, and the first thing she did was to collapse directly in the rest area of the athletes and coaches, where she took a good breath.
Therefore, the national table tennis is really tired, this schedule is really harsh, and after arriving in Astana on the morning of the 7th, the draw ceremony will be held immediately in the evening, and the second day will start directly, leaving the players in the middle with less than a day of rest, which is the real all-round continuous rotation.
Finally, in this Asian Championships, Sun Yingsha also confirmed that she will play three games, playing women's singles, women's doubles and women's team competitions, Wang Manyu is also sure that she will have three games, and she is also a women's singles, women's doubles and women's team. Sun Yingsha wants to partner with Wang Yidi, and Wang Manyu wants to partner with Kuo Man, what kind of intensity do you say this is? Including Wang Yidi, who just played badly in the Beijing Grand Slam, even has to play four events, but fortunately she was eliminated early, otherwise she may be more tired than Sasha and Manyu.
Only Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, due to their withdrawal from the Olympics, all the 5 large-scale competitions of national table tennis have now become the least stressful and least tired one. Some people can take three months off on vacation, but some people have been racing day and night, which may be the so-called drought and waterlogging.
