Who would have thought that a small white ball could cause so much trouble? After Fan Zhendong's withdrawal, it may be because the 27-year-old Fan Zhendong will have no balls to play. Liu Guoliang, on the national table tennis side, is under tremendous pressure. Many sports media people, such as He Xiaolong and Du Liyan, have come forward to speak up for Fan Zhendong. As the incident escalated, these famous reporters were no longer simply speaking out for Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, but also exposed a lot of hot news. For example, famous reporter He Xiaolong previously exposed the six questions raised by the media to President Wang, which included the matter of Kong Linghui and Zhang Jike playing cards that fans are concerned about. Recently, famous reporter He Xiaolong updated his social media again, exposing another potential big fish in table tennis. How did He Xiaolong say it? On social media, famous reporter He Xiaolong said, "Hello everyone, I am Lei Zi. I wanted to run away recently, but someone wouldn't let me. They persuaded me not to. Now I regret it, I still want to run away. Can I run away now?" The Lei Zi exposed by He Xiaolong quickly aroused the curiosity of many fans. Who is Lei Zi? In fact, famous reporter He Xiaolong had previously talked about this person on social media. It is reported that this person was once a senior executive of a domestic platform in charge of sports and later served as the chairman of WTT China Company. In the previous…

Recently, a series of events in the Chinese table tennis world has sparked widespread attention to the position of the director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center. This turmoil began with Fan Zhendong's decision to withdraw from the world rankings, followed by a contradiction between Liu Guoliang's stance on participation issues and the regulations of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), making the appointment of the director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center a focal point of discussion! All this started with the Paris Olympic cycle. Currently, the Chinese table tennis team is facing multiple challenges: on one hand, there is the competition between Wang Manyu and Chen Meng for the women's singles Olympic entry spots, and on the other hand, there are the participation issues for main players such as Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng after they withdrew from the world rankings. Especially after Liu Guoliang stated in an interview that Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng could participate in international competitions through wild cards, careful fans checked the relevant ITTF regulations and found that non-registered players had no possibility of obtaining wild cards, which plunged Liu Guoliang's remarks into a trust crisis. Against this backdrop, the former director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center was transferred to the head of the General Administration of Sports Training Bureau, highlighting the importance of this timing. Fans generally hope to quickly determine the new director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center so that there can be a leader who oversees the overall situation to guide the…

Wang Nan presented 3 gold medals to Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, and Ma Long, and Wang Nan and Guo Bin are not short of gold medals. Why didn't Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Fan Zhendong receive any gold medal rewards? In fact, there were three reasons behind this. Now that Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin have won the Olympic championship and received rewards at the commendation meeting, Sun Yingsha has also won the Best Popularity Award. Ma Long is even more popular, receiving many rewards and having photos taken with experts and fans. In contrast, people noticed that Wang Nan had previously stated that she would give rewards if she could win a gold medal at the Olympics. At the last Tokyo Olympics, Wang Nan and Guo Bin gave out super luxurious rewards, which everyone clearly remembers as a set of luxurious rewards for each person. Wang Nan's high-level rewards in the Tokyo Olympics made her stand out. Therefore, at the Paris Olympics, many experts and fans speculated that Wang Nan and Guo Bin would definitely give out big rewards this year. However, it was unexpected that Wang Nan also stated that she would give a 3-kilogram gold medal to the champion athletes. Although this year's reward is somewhat different from the last Tokyo Olympics, after all, a set of luxury housing is quite different from a 1.6-kilogram gold medal. Regardless, Wang Nan's ability to send such a grand gift is a reflection of her intentions and has been recognized by many. The question is, why did only Sun Yingsha…

The Chinese table tennis team is currently preparing in full swing for the Los Angeles Olympic cycle. The key to what kind of results the Chinese table tennis team can achieve during the Los Angeles Olympics cycle depends on their performance on the field. It is hoped that the athletes of the Chinese table tennis team can stabilize and work hard to achieve their goals. Of course, during the Los Angeles Olympics cycle, the main opponent of the Chinese table tennis team is the Japanese team. In the men's team, Japan's Tomokazu Harimoto has become the top rival of the Chinese team. Harimoto has defeated the main players of the Chinese team many times. Therefore, facing such an opponent, the Chinese table tennis team cannot afford to be careless. Of course, for the Chinese table tennis team, a player like Harimoto is still very strong, and the Chinese team must cultivate younger players to compete against Harimoto. Currently, the Chinese table tennis team mainly relies on Wang Chuqin to carry the flag. Born in 2000, Wang Chuqin is the leader of the Chinese table tennis team. However, just as Wang Chuqin has not yet achieved his grand slam dream, it is unexpected that even younger players have begun to emerge in the Chinese team. Among the post-05s, the Chinese team has already produced a new trio of young players, who are very powerful. These three young players are Lin Shidong, Chen Yuanyu, and Huang Youzheng. As the new trio of post-05s, they have emerged, especially the 19-year-old Chen Yuanyu, who…

Recently, the sports circle has been less peaceful, and the table tennis world has also been involved, with many people discussing it. Well, what's going on here? It's surprising that it involves our national sport. It turns out that a sports journalist named He Xiaolong recently wrote an article with quite explosive content. He compared Liu Guoliang with Li Tie, who had an incident before, and found that Liu Guoliang's influence is even greater than Li Tie! This is not to be taken lightly; once the article came out, it caused an uproar online. He Xiaolong said that Liu Guoliang's power is "domestic and international," making waves at home and abroad. Impressive, right? He can even sideline collective decision-making—how much energy does that take! Think about it, the national football team's affairs are messy, but at least the Football Association still has to manage them; after all, the power isn't that centralized. But the national table tennis team? He Xiaolong said that the transparency of the national table tennis team is much lower than that of the national football team. It's like a black box; no one knows what's really going on inside. Liu Guoliang used WTT to establish a huge industrial chain, how complicated and opaque this chain is, us ordinary folks really don't know. Even worse, he has kidnapped the entire national table tennis team, and the athletes have no choice but to listen to him. This is not an exaggeration; just look at what netizens are saying. Some say that Liu Guoliang's influence has surpassed sports itself…

Table tennis, once revered as the national sport by countless Chinese, seems to have recently sunk into deep trouble. On the surface, we still firmly occupy the top spot in the world table tennis arena, but under Liu Guoliang's "iron-fisted management," the table tennis management system is facing an unprecedented test. Why, behind the brilliant achievements, are more and more voices beginning to question? Is Liu Guoliang saving Chinese table tennis, or pushing it towards an unimaginable future? When it comes to Chinese table tennis, Liu Guoliang's name is almost synonymous with it. From being a "table tennis prodigy" to the current "helmsman," his identity has changed significantly, but his power has become increasingly concentrated. Unlike decision-making methods in other sports, table tennis under Liu Guoliang has formed an extremely centralized management structure. It can even be said that almost all important decisions are dominated by him alone, especially in the selection of national team players and event arrangements. For example, in the past management structure of table tennis, although there were also collisions of different opinions, the dispersion of power allowed various views to achieve a certain balance. However, since Liu Guoliang took office, the entire decision-making process has been almost entirely determined by him. Whether it's player training, match scheduling, or event selection, all decisions are almost under his control. This raises a question: Does excessive concentration of power lead to decision-making errors? In the football world, the multi-layered decision-making mechanism of the Football Association does have problems, but at least there is a certain degree of transparency.…
