The Olympic Games are about to start, and Chinese youngsters Wang Chuqin and Wang Manyu have won p cards, that is, substitutes. Speaking of the Olympic "p card", we have to mention this "god operation" of the Koreans.
In previous Olympic Games, the Chinese team has never used the p card, but our neighbor South Korea team used the p card at the London Olympic Games in 2012, which also caused some negative news.
First of all, let's introduce a few details of the Olympic p card:
1) The p-card is only used for group projects, not for singles, mixed doubles, doubles and other projects. That is, if you are injured in a singles, you will not be able to get a p-card holder to replace you. Therefore, now some self-media mention Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha as a mixed doubles substitute, which is not established. It is only possible that Wang Manyu replaced Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, and Liu Shiwen as one of them, entered the group list, and undertook the tasks of the group, and Wang Chuqin was the same.
2) The use of p card needs to go through layers of checks. First of all, the national table tennis association should submit an application, and the Olympic Organizing Committee must then designate a third-party medical institution to diagnose and determine that the athlete has indeed lost the ability to compete before it can be replaced.
3) After the p-card is used, the replaced party cannot get on the podium. That is, if Wang Manyu replaced Sun Yingsha, the Chinese women's team won the women's team gold medal, the Olympic Organizing Committee would only give three gold medals, and Sun Yingsha would not have a chance.
Then let's look at the operation of the Korean Table Tennis Association at the London Olympic Games. The lineup of the Women's Team in South Korea at that time was as follows:
The three players who are being selected are Kim Kyung-eun, Seok Ho-jung, and Park Mi-young, who are two slashers with an attack, and the p card is Tang Junxu. It is worth mentioning that the two tacklers in this lineup are from China, Shi Hejing was originally named Shi Lei (provincial team), and Tang Weixu was originally named Tang Na (national second team).
Park Mi-young
The competition process is first to play the women's singles, and then the women's team, Park Mi-young lost 1:4 to China's Lee Xiaoxia in the women's singles 1/8 final, and then played the women's team 1/8 final against Brazil, the Korean Table Tennis Association proposed that Park Mi-young was injured and could not continue the subsequent matches, and to enable p card player Donna Order. Although various forces were at work and the process was sensitive, it was finally approved, and the South Korean team successfully replaced Park Mi-young in the quarter-finals against Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong team was confused, when the first day of the draw was home and away, the South Korean side was still Park Mi-young, and the next day the game suddenly became Tang Wei order. Especially in the first set of doubles, the Korean team's double-chipping combination was changed to a double attack (Shi Hejing and DonNaxu), so that the Hong Kong team hired two sharpening sparring partners at a high price, which was futile, and even had side effects, the first night of the game, the two Hong Kong players practiced a night of chipping, and the result was that the Korean team came to this trick.
Donner preamble
In the end, the South Korean team defeated Hong Kong to enter the final four of the Olympic Games as desired, but the media at the time and the Hong Kong team raised three questions:
1) The South Korean team deliberately hid in another venue the night of the first night's practice, just to prevent the Hong Kong team from knowing that they were going to change, so is it in line with the rules to propose a substitution the next day?
2) Park Mi-young is indeed injured, but this injury is an old injury? Or a heartbreak in London? According to South Korean media reports, Park Mi-young was injured seven or eight months ago.
3) When the Hong Kong team was officially notified, it was 1:30, and South Korea had applied twice before without approval, so why was it approved later?
However, south Koreans are "well-known" in terms of sports competition, of course, this London Olympic Games did not have a good end, and finally the South Korean team did enter the final four, but in the three or four places battle, 0:3 lost to Singapore, or did not stand on the podium.
The Chinese team has always been invincible to the strong, and will not use such a small trick, unless the athletes are really injured, Wang Manyu and Wang Chuqin will not play.
