Then the last few days can be said to be a period of time for all Liu Shiwen fans, relatively lost. Because at present, in the important stage of national table tennis preparation for the World Table Tennis Championships, Liu Shiwen did not have access to the list of participants in this World Table Tennis Championships, and encountered the elimination of the national table tennis list in advance. This result is indeed very disappointing, very helpless.
Of course, such a final choice is also expected by fans. Everyone also believes that Liu Shiwen's competitive strength has declined, and it is very normal to encounter the early elimination of national table tennis. This time, the national table tennis may still consider Liu Shiwen's personal state, and only then chose Chen Xing and Wang Yidi to replace him. But in fact, in the previous National Games, Liu Shiwen's performance was completely different from what the fans said, and we also saw in the National Games that Xiao Zao also defeated Chen Meng strongly in the women's singles competition, and stood on the podium with Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha. This proves that Liu Shiwen is not in a state at present, and Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong, these players cannot say that they can beat Liu Shiwen 100%, and her fighting level is still at the first-line level. At the first time when the national table tennis announced the list, in fact, Liu Shiwen also publicly gave a reason. Liu Shiwen said on social media that her withdrawal from the World Table Tennis Championships this time is mainly due to the need for a period of adjustment and rest in the body and mind, and in the past 5 years of preparation and Olympic games, she does need a relaxation cycle. Therefore, he took the initiative and the team proposed not to participate in the game, hoping to return to the team with a better look through effective adjustments. Therefore, from Liu Shiwen's statement, she was not eliminated by the team due to personal performance problems, but took the initiative to give up her position and took the initiative to ask Liu Guoliang not to participate in the game with the team.
From here, in fact, we can see Liu Shiwen's change and mind. In fact, after the Tokyo Olympic Games, everyone obviously felt that Liu Shiwen's retirement time was very close. In the case of the gradual maturity of the national table tennis women's team, in the case of the continuous rise of Chen Mengwang Manyu Sun Yingsha, Liu Shiwen's national team career is likely to come to an end in the near future. At present, Liu Shiwen is left to make up for the regrets of Tokyo and let her retire with dignity in her career, the best way is to fight for results in the World Table Tennis Championships, to compete for the championship of multiple events, once Liu Shiwen succeeds, she can directly contribute to the gorgeous curtain. But in the face of such an opportunity, Liu Shiwen chose to refuse and gave up the opportunity to young people. I would rather leave regrets in my career than hinder the development of national table tennis, which is a big heart. It can be said that for Liu Shiwen, Liu Guoliang really did not look at the wrong person, she is this kind of player who is willing to make sacrifices for the team. From the previous lack of chance to single in the Olympic Games, to the replacement of the Olympic women's team competition, and now the World Table Tennis Championships without the opportunity to participate, Liu Shiwen is silently suffering. There is not the slightest complaint, as long as the team can develop in a better direction, Liu Shiwen is willing to make sacrifices.
So although Xiao Zao did not qualify for the World Table Tennis Championships, her contribution to the national table tennis should be remembered, and we fans will not forget Liu Shiwen's efforts. And just after Liu Shiwen withdrew from the World Table Tennis Championships, in fact, she also received an unexpected surprise on the sidelines, which is also a best affirmation. So just yesterday, the Guangdong Provincial Government issued a circular to commend the winning athletes and coaches of Guangdong Province to participate in the Olympic Games, and in this notification list, in addition to Quan Hongchan, Fan Zhendong, who won the gold medal in the Olympic Games, Liu Shiwen is among them.
Then to be able to get such a notification award is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for Liu Shiwen, and such an honor is also the glory of an athlete's life. This practice in Guangdong Province is to tell all Xiaoju fans that although Liu Shiwen did not get the best result in the Tokyo cycle, her contribution to the national table tennis is still worthy of recognition. So in the end, we also hope that after the withdrawal of the World Table Tennis Championships, Liu Shiwen can get the best adjustment, and after returning to the field in the future, she will use the best strength to give the national table tennis fans a new surprise.
