The Houston World Table Tennis Championships will be held in November this year, and many table tennis fans are looking forward to the list of participants in the World Table Tennis Championships, and are speculating about who is there. On the 25th of this month, the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced the big list of participants in the World Table Tennis Championships, and Ma Long, Xu Xin, and Liu Shiwen were not on the list, which shocked many people and caused people to discuss strongly.
Recently, Qin Zhijian, head coach of the national table tennis men's team, and Li Falcon, head coach of the women's team, answered the reasons why Ma Long and others did not participate in the World Table Tennis Championships in an interview. Qin Zhijian said that Ma Long and Xu Xin of the World Table Tennis Championships took the initiative to give up participating in the World Table Tennis Championships because of their own reasons, although the level of competition between the two of them is still very high, but from the actual situation, they still agreed to Ma Long and Xu Xin's request not to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships.
Li Falcon said: In order to make the transition between the new and old of the women's team better completed and form a young competitive group, so this World Table Tennis Championships will let new team members participate and exercise their abilities. Judging from the current situation of the national table tennis men's team and the women's team: the current men's team lacks people who completely succeed Ma Long and Xu Xin, and the new and old handovers are not good, while the women's team has completed the new and old handovers well, and is also cultivating younger athletes.
Therefore, Ma Long and Xu Xin will give up the opportunity of this World Table Tennis Championships and let newcomers participate in the World Table Tennis Championships. Judging from the big list of participants in this World Table Tennis Championships, the members of the national table tennis men's team who went to Houston this time are between 20 and 26 years old, which is very young, they may be inexperienced, but as long as they have the strength to fight, they can play a good result in this World Table Tennis Championships and take on heavy responsibilities.
After the Tokyo Olympic Games is the Paris Olympic Games, the national table tennis men's team needs young players to pick up the beams, so the current World Table Tennis Championships is the best opportunity for these newcomers to exercise, hoping that they can win glory for the country and win the championship in the World Table Tennis Championships.
