As the Tokyo Olympics approach, the lineup for the Tokyo Olympics has always been a hot topic of discussion among fans.
Although the Chinese Table Tennis Association has not yet announced the candidates for the Tokyo Olympic Games, in the eyes of many fans, Sun Yingsha, who is now only 20 years old, has become a popular candidate for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
To know that Sun Yingsha is just 20 years old this year, she only entered the national first team in 2017, why in just four years, Sun Yingsha has gone from a fledgling teenager to now becoming a candidate for the Tokyo Olympic Games?
How did Sun Yingsha do this?
Many fans are deeply impressed by Sun Yingsha's performance at the 2017 Japan Open.
At that time, Sun Yingsha was only 17 years old, and the Japan Open was also the first time that Sun Yingsha participated in the Open Tournament of the Adult Group.
However, Sun Yingsha, who participated in the Open for the first time, performed very eye-catchingly.
Although it was the first time to participate, Sun Yingsha first defeated Wang Manyu in the semi-finals, and then in the final, she defeated Chen Meng, who was 6 years older than herself, in the final, when she was 1-3 behind in the big score, and won the women's singles championship of the Japan Open, at the same time, Sun Yingsha also partnered With Chen Xingtong to win the women's doubles championship of the Japan Open.
Winning the double crown in the first open tournament, Sun Yingsha's performance shocked the table tennis world, and Sun Yingsha was also called "Little Devil" by fans.
After winning the double title at the Japan Open, Sun Yingsha also qualified for the China Open, this time, Sun Yingsha's performance was still very eye-catching, in the semi-finals, defeated Liu Shiwen, who held four World Cup singles champions, to enter the final.
Although in the final, Sun Yingsha lost to Ding Ning and won the runner-up, Sun Yingsha's performance still won the unanimous recognition of the industry.
At that time, the famous guo yan talked about the Tokyo Olympics four years later, and Guo Yan at that time believed that Sun Yingsha could qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
At that time, many fans were puzzled by this, believing that Sun Yingsha had just entered the national first team and could not qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games so quickly.
Sure enough, soon Sun Yingsha won the trust of the coaching staff with her performance.
In the 2019 National Table Tennis Direct World Table Tennis Championships Selection Competition, Sun Yingsha achieved an unbeaten record of 15 wins in the first stage of the selection competition and was successfully shortlisted for the second stage of the competition.
At that time, many fans believed that Sun Yingsha could achieve good results in the first stage, the main reason was that the opponent at that time was not strong, but unexpectedly, in the second stage of the game, Sun Yingsha finally suppressed Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Zhu Yuling and Wang Manyu and other masters, and won the second place in the direct competition.
In the World Table Tennis Championships, although Sun Yingsha lost to Wang Manyu in the quarterfinals, she defeated Ito Mimachi in the previous competition, clearing the biggest obstacle for China's women's table tennis to win the championship.
After the World Table Tennis Championships, Sun Yingsha's progress was very fast, and in the 2019 Japan Open, Sun Yingsha defeated Chen Meng and Liu Shiwen successively to win her second Open women's singles title.
Since then, Sun Yingsha's performance has been unattainable, and at the Australian Open, Sun Yingsha defeated Ding Ning to win the championship again.
The most impressive thing is that in the 2019 Team World Cup, the 19-year-old Sun Yingsha played for the first time, playing the first single in the final, and in the match against Japan's first single, Ito Mimachi, Sun Yingsha won two consecutive sets in a big 0-2 behind the score, dragging the game into the decider.
In the decider, Sun Yingsha scored 5 consecutive points in the case of falling behind 7-10, and defeated Ito Mimako in a reversal, showing her stable psychological quality.
As we all know, the level gap between the top athletes is not large, and the most important thing is to see who has stronger psychological endurance, and at this point, Sun Yingsha is undoubtedly very good.
In the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Simulation Tournament, Sun Yingsha won the women's singles, women's team and mixed doubles championships, becoming the only triple crown.
Sun Yingsha has won herself one opportunity after another with her outstanding performance, and I believe that Sun Yingsha is now fully capable of participating in the Competition of the Tokyo Olympic Games.
I hope that Sun Yingsha will continue to work hard and achieve good results at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Come on Sun Yingsha!
