On September 17, the table tennis competition of the 2021 National Games will officially kick off in Yan'an, Shaanxi Province. In the men's singles competition at the Tokyo Olympics, national table tennis captain Ma Long completed the men's double grand slam, creating a new history in the international table tennis world. At the same time, the national table tennis men's line also failed to complete the task of "replacing the old and the new". Who can carry the national table tennis flag in the Paris Olympic cycle has also become the focus of fans' attention. Among them, Fan Zhendong is pinned on high hopes, and Wang Chuqin, the only post-00 main force of national table tennis, is also secretly exerting force.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Chuqin, as a P card player at the Tokyo Olympic Games, although regrettably failed to participate in the competition, he also felt the tense atmosphere of the Olympic events at close range. After returning to the Beijing team, Wang Chuqin also trained hard, and recently, he also posted a training video of him practicing twisting and pulling on social media. And specially asked Lin Yunru, a young player in the Chinese Taipei team, for advice.
His head coach, Liu Guozheng, gave up the opportunity to reunite with his family after ending the quarantine. The team that came to Beijing continued to personally guide Wang Chuqin. And bluntly said that Wang Chuqin should practice more forehand continuous attack and anti-pull ability in the new cycle. During the quarantine period, Liu Guozheng revealed that he used this period of time to formulate a careful training plan for Wang Chuqin's later development.
The master and the disciple are in the same heart, and their profits are broken. In the men's singles competition of this National Games, three generations of players from old, middle and young generations were brought together, and due to the special reasons of the epidemic, it was also the shortest interval between the previous National Games and the Olympic Games. Whether Wang Chuqin can stand out in this National Games is particularly worth looking forward to.
As the youngest of the 6 main players of national table tennis, Wang Chuqin is also very clear in his heart, and in 3 years of the Paris Olympic Games, it is time for him to "emerge". Interacting with the fans, he said, "First of all, thank you all for your encouragement and support. I will work hard, please don't worry, because I am more anxious than you, I am more eager to stand on the Olympic field, but in the next three years of other competitions, I also have to work hard to do well. ”
In the past two years, Wang Chuqin won the men's singles title at the Swedish Open in October 2019, reached the men's singles round of 4 at the 2020 Qatar Open, and lost to Ma Long in November 2020 and finished second in the WTT Macau competition... As Liu Guozheng said, Wang Chuqin is in a very reasonable stage of growth, but if he wants to become the absolute main force of national table tennis, he still needs some leap-forward growth, and the future can be expected.
