"Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng have withdrawn from the world rankings, how did WTT~ drive players crazy? Why? ”
Just yesterday, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, the two main players of mainland national table tennis, successively issued statements on withdrawing from the world rankings.
For a while, many netizens thought that the two were treated unfairly.
It has a lot to do with WTT's "overlord clause".
As soon as the news was released, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It also digs deep into the insider.
Two of them made it clear that they are not retiring, but simply withdrawing from the world rankings.
But even so, if you drop out of the rankings, you will not be eligible for many events.
Just when a series of questions can't be understood,
Some netizens even directly put forward a bold idea,
That is to let the two represent Hong Kong and Macao in the competition, and also said five reasons.
A poignant insider
Recently, WTT officially announced the new rules,
One of them is that ranking members cannot refuse to play, otherwise there will be a fine.
We also know that a lot of the tournaments are related to the world rankings.
Many large-scale events are contested by members of the same strength at the top of the rankings.
Judging from the statement released by Fan Zhendong,
He first put his own reasons first,
The 27-year-old said he had left too much mental drain at this year's Paris Olympics.
There is also that I still feel very confused about my future career plan.
After stating your reasons,
This clearly states the WTT penalty for non-participation.
and said that he really couldn't bear such pressure,
But also chose to respect their actions and a report has been submitted.
I believe that many people can feel it this year,
Even divers have at least taken a break to recuperate for a while.
But this year's table tennis events are relatively very intensive,
It always feels like they're competing all the time.
Especially from August 22 to November 24,
The dense schedule of WTT matches is also very obvious.
And that's not just all the events they participate in.
It does not include the Asian Championships, National Championships and Mixed Team World Cups in which they participated.
Because the event schedule is full, they are running around the competition venue for a long time.
The time to rest is even more minimal, and the intensity of the competition is self-evident.
I thought it would be good if the year was over,
Unexpectedly, when I saw the 2025 WTT event schedule revealed on the Internet, it was directly jaw-dropping.
I saw that the event arrangement was almost the same as the intensity of this year.
Not to mention that they have to participate in other competitions,
Even if it's just for them, it's too compact.
They're people, not machines.
There are many members in the world ranking list who are no longer young in age.
And there are also a lot of injured members.
After all, I can't predict when the pain will recur.
If you don't want to participate, at least people can carry out stress-free recuperation.
But after the new rules were announced, it was the biggest pressure for them.
Some time ago, it was also revealed that when Sun Yingsha was sitting and resting backstage,
The shoulder muscles twitched suddenly, and the whole person looked at the news in great pain.
There is also the news that Wang Chuqin insisted on participating even though he was unwell and his stomach hurt very much.
Originally, they thought they wanted to compete, but now it seems that it is not so simple.
And I saw the statement released by Fan Zhendong that I haven't eased up,
After a while, another seeded player of the national table tennis team, Chen Meng, first liked Fan Zhendong's dynamics,
Then, only two hours later, the news of the withdrawal from the world ranking was also announced.
She and Fan Zhendong made their positions in the same way,
First of all, in this year's Paris cycle,
At the age of 30, she has not only suffered great physical pressure,
This is true even in public opinion.
After all, when Chen Meng was originally competing,
There are some people who don't focus on other people's skills.
It's about paying attention to what luxury jewelry people are wearing.
There are also people who post a dynamic in their lives and will also comment on what they are wearing.
As her cousin, Huang Xiaoming posted a news on social platforms to cheer for others,
In the eyes of some, it has also become a show-off.
Even because of Huang Xiaoming, many people rumored that Chen Meng entered the national team by relying on connections.
But how is that possible?
She showed amazing talent in elementary school and then entered the national team at the age of 16.
began to participate in various events one after another, and won the national table tennis women's singles championship many times.
Her strength is undoubted, but she has suffered too much pressure that she should not have withheld,
As a seeded athlete in the sports world, when she participated in entertainment activities,
has also been complained about makeup and posture by everyone many times.
And that's not even there,
One of the most impressive is that in the women's singles event of the Paris Olympics, she defeated Sun Yingsha with her own efforts.
But many people do all kinds of subjective analysis.
said that she studied the playing style of her own players, and also said that it was just a fluke that she could win against Sun Yingsha.
Because Sun Yingsha has reported too many events in this Olympic Games,
Even when the awards were presented, some people blatantly accused Chen Meng.
Although Chen Meng still smiled reluctantly,
But when I saw her crying, it still made people feel distressed.
When do you have to feel guilty about winning by your own efforts?
They are rivals on the court, but in private they are friends.
After all, there is only one champion, and they don't want to meet in the ring more than we do.
The parties have not said anything yet, but they have fallen into a storm of public opinion.
In addition, Chen Meng also said that he is constantly preparing for training.
Because of the intensity of her own injury, after all, she is now 30 years old,
The first half of his life was almost all about fighting for table tennis events.
So the pain on her body will definitely not be too light,
Originally, it was okay to make adjustments for a short time after the competition.
But now the promulgation of the new rules has also given her the idea of wanting to withdraw from the world rankings.
And the documents were signed on Monday.
Although in the end he showed that he still loves table tennis, not retired,
But I still feel very sad that I can't see them in many events.
So after seeing them retire one after another,
Many netizens began to fight for them,
There is even a netizen who put forward the idea of letting them "change their identities" to participate in the competition.
That is to join any team in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan,
After all, the strength is there, and they will inevitably welcome it,
When you get there, you can not only continue to walk your table tennis dream,
It is also possible to continue to win glory for the country.
The most important point is not to suffer too much wronged.
can also be a little farther away from the "fan circle culture",
I can pursue my dreams more distractedly.
After all, their age is not young among athletes,
After that, you don't have to be so stressed, which is also a very good choice.
epilogue
But in this case, they will become opposites to Liu Guoliang,
If one day you meet with Liu Guoliang's team members in a major event and win,
It was also another degree of slapping him in the face.
But no matter what, I still hope to see them at the game.
I also wish them to take good care of their bodies.
