Doesn't know how to play to one's strengths? The organizer digs a hole for Wang Chuqin, and fans say: average, not as good as Tomokazu Harimoto! A few days ago, there were heated discussions among fans about why Wang Chuqin, as an active athlete, should participate in the Weibo Night. Who stipulates that active athletes cannot participate in the Weibo Night? Moreover, apart from Wang Chuqin, there are also Ma Long and Fan Zhendong who participated in the Weibo Night. However, in the past two days, there have been heated discussions among fans about the calligraphy left by Wang Chuqin at the Weibo Night. Some people praised him for writing well, saying that it was obvious that he had practiced, while others thought that he did not know how to play to his strengths, knowing that his handwriting was not good, so he should not come out to disgrace himself. After the Paris Olympics, Ma Long and Fan Zhendong both faded out of the table tennis world and even withdrew from the world rankings. This also means that in future competitions, Wang Chuqin will bear greater pressure. Xiao Shi has not yet fully grown up, and Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan cannot be counted on too much, so Wang Chuqin will be the leader of the national table tennis team in the future. At the Paris Olympics, Wang Chuqin experienced his racket being stepped on, which greatly affected him, and it took him several months to recover. It wasn't until the end of the year that his state improved. Due…

Recently, the Chinese table tennis world has been in turmoil, with a series of events drawing wide attention from the sports community. From the WTT World Table Tennis League stock controversy to the downfall of local officials and the replay of controversial matches by CCTV, both Liu Guoliang, the head of the national table tennis team, and rising star Wang Chuqin have become the focus of public opinion! The anti-corruption storm in the sports world continues to intensify. The news that Sun Dong, the executive deputy mayor of Xinxiang City, is under investigation for serious violations of discipline and law, once again focuses people's attention on the WTT event operation issues. As an important official from Liu Guoliang's hometown, Sun Dong has attended many WTT event activities and served as the host of the opening ceremony of the 2023 Xinxiang WTT Championship. It is reported that Henan Province hosted as many as six international table tennis federation and WTT competitions, involving funds of hundreds of millions of yuan. The occurrence of this incident coincides with the peak period of the anti-corruption storm in the sports world. Previously, Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center, was caught after retirement, and the senior management of China Gold Group, which cooperated with WTT, was also investigated. The cumulative effect of these incidents makes people worry about Liu Guoliang's situation. At the same time, the situation of rising star Wang Chuqin is also quite dramatic. Although he has frequently topped the hot search recently and won honors such as the "May…

In the annals of Chinese table tennis, there exists an amusing phenomenon that tickles the fancy: sometimes, the person who most resembles you isn't necessarily your own protégé. Indeed, a recent revelation has left fans utterly captivated, vividly illustrating this intriguing occurrence. When it comes to Coach Xiao Zhan, seasoned table tennis enthusiasts are well aware that he is a legendary figure with a "tiger" aura. Whether in his heyday as a formidable player or later in his distinctive coaching career, he has left an indelible impression of being "dominant and powerful." He's like a majestic tiger, exuding an awe-inspiring presence that strikes fear into opponents while harboring profound tactical wisdom. Logically speaking, Wang Manyu, who trained under such a "tiger coach" for a full five years, should be the one who best embodies his teachings. However, fate loves to play tricks. At the 2024 Table Tennis Super League, an unexpected scene stunned all the fans: the person whose demeanor, playing style, and even expressions were uncannily similar to Xiao Zhan turned out to be Sun Yingsha! The finals of this Table Tennis Super League were nothing short of a brilliant "inheritance drama." When Sun Yingsha stood on the sidelines as a temporary coach, her strategic dominance and unshakable confidence were reminiscent of a younger Xiao Zhan. It's worth noting that Sun Yingsha had never been formally coached by Xiao Zhan, making this resemblance all the more remarkable, akin to the saying "birds of a feather flock together." What's even more astonishing is a moment from the match. In the…

Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin have always been a highly anticipated pair. Not only do they cooperate well on the court, but their various details off the court often become topics of conversation among fans. Especially the rumors about whether there is a romantic relationship between them, it's like a gust of wind that rises and falls among the fan base. Sun Yingsha once clearly stated on social media that from the World Youth Championships to the Olympics, Wang Chuqin has always been her best partner and friend. This is undoubtedly an official statement, seemingly trying to position the relationship between the two as purely teammates. However, the attention from fans towards them has not diminished because of this statement. Taking the recent series of events as an example, it is filled with many details that can be interpreted. After Wang Chuqin visited Universal Studios, Sun Yingsha used a limited-edition panda phone case from Universal Studios. This coincidence instantly sparked endless speculation among fans, with many people firmly believing that this was a couple phone case given by Wang Chuqin to Sun Yingsha, and the rumors of a romantic relationship quickly flared up. Faced with this situation, Sun Yingsha took a direct approach to respond. She removed the phone case and tried to extinguish the "flame" that might trigger more speculation with her own actions. This approach is undoubtedly aimed at dispelling rumors of a romantic relationship. Coincidentally, when Wang Chuqin attended the annual social media awards ceremony wearing attire worth over 1.1 million yuan, his many actions once again…

On January 12th, Beijing time, good news came from the Olympic champions of the national table tennis team, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Sun Yingsha. Let's take a look at their situations together! Olympic champion Fan Zhendong attended the 2024 Weibo Night award ceremony, where he won the "2024 Weibo Annual Outstanding Sports Figure" award for his achievement of winning the men's singles championship at the Paris Olympics and achieving a super grand slam. This best athlete award is indeed well-deserved for Fan Zhendong, as 2024 was an extraordinary year for him. On the podium, Fan Zhendong looked extraordinary in his tailor-made suit, and in his acceptance speech, he said, "I am very honored to receive this award, and I will take this award as a new starting point and opportunity to contribute my strength to China's sports cause in the future." He shone on the podium and was also one of the most popular among many stars off the stage, with many top entertainers and business elites vying to take photos with him, showing his great social influence. Recently, to celebrate the fifth Chinese Police Day, the Qingdao Public Security organized an open day event at the Olympic Sailing International Conference Center. Surprisingly, Qingdao native and Olympic champion Chen Meng appeared at the event. At the scene, Chen Meng transformed into a warm ambassador, not only sending blessings to all the police but also personally presenting Lao Shan Hot Cola, a specialty from Qingdao. The police were very pleasantly surprised by Chen Meng's arrival, and the event quickly turned…

In the WTT Mascot Station regular challenge singles qualifying match, Huang Youzheng faced off against French player Florian Bourrasse. This French player often participates in doubles matches and has even won a men's doubles championship at a WTT event. Huang Youzheng should not underestimate his opponent in this match, as although his opponent is relatively unknown, French players are known for their potential to cause upsets. The French team's youth training is currently doing well, with their young players showing great potential. In the previous round, Huang Youzheng was dragged into a decisive game by his opponent, managing to win three consecutive games after trailing 0-2. Huang Youzheng still needs to quickly enter the competitive state, as in such an encounter match, the faster a player enters the state, the more advantageous it is. Players who enter the state slowly usually have weaker comprehensive abilities and find it difficult to make a comeback. Florian still possesses a certain level of competitiveness, with his advantage in receiving serves being particularly evident, which was reflected in his doubles matches. He is also adept at tactical changes. Huang Youzheng must respond flexibly to Florian's attacks, adapting to his opponent's style in order to make better tactical responses. If Huang Youzheng defeats Florian, he will be able to advance to the men's singles main draw. Fans should not think that the players in the qualifying rounds are all weak. The Japanese mixed doubles pair of Daikiya Oshima and Makoto Yoshida were defeated by the French mixed doubles pair of Cotten/Lutz in the qualifying round,…

At the Paris Olympics award ceremony, Wang Manyu held up her gold medal, but what caught the attention of the camera was not her family or teammates, but her old coach Xu Hui. Standing in the corner of the crowd, Xu Hui appeared particularly "lonely." Amidst the festive atmosphere, he had no special interaction with Wang Manyu, not even a photo together. We have to admit that Xu Hui's awkward situation made many people feel something was off. Everyone knows that Wang Manyu and Xu Hui have been working together for years, leading her from a young player to become a world-class table tennis champion. Every time Wang Manyu competed, Xu Hui could be seen guiding and encouraging her on the sidelines, with a tacit understanding like old partners. So what exactly is behind Xu Hui's "departure"? Honestly, the reason behind this is not complicated. Xu Hui's main job is actually to lead the second team of national table tennis players in training and competition, while Wang Manyu has entered the core layer of the national team, obviously her training and competition need higher-level guidance and more meticulous arrangements. Since the Paris Olympics, Xu Hui's work focus has shifted to the second team, gradually distancing himself from Wang Manyu's daily training. I saw netizens proposing, is this a natural "promotion"? That is to say, Wang Manyu has reached a higher position, and Xu Hui's task may also need to be adjusted accordingly. Everyone knows that Wang Manyu's current strength is no longer just relying on basic training like Xu Hui;…

The Australian Open, which is receiving great attention, is in full swing. Chinese Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen won a thrilling victory over the 18-year-old Todoni in the first round of the competition. For Zheng Qinwen, this not only earned her 70 points but also a prize of 900,000 yuan. With just one match played, Zheng Qinwen has already earned 900,000 yuan. Many fans are amazed that Zheng Qinwen's income from winning one game is equivalent to what Sun Yingsha earns in half a year. Indeed, last year, Sun Yingsha, ranked first in the world in women's singles and mixed doubles in table tennis, only earned 1.71 million yuan in prize money. Let's take a look at the events Sun Yingsha participated in last year. From the beginning of last year until the Chongqing Championship before the Olympics, Sun Yingsha was almost fully present. Including the Busan Team World Table Tennis Championships, Singapore Grand Slam, Macau World Cup, Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, and Chongqing Championship, Sun Yingsha did not miss any of them. At the Paris Olympics, Sun Yingsha even competed in three events. After the Olympics, Sun Yingsha also participated in the Macau Championship, China Grand Slam, and Asian Championships. After the Asian Championships, due to injury, Sun Yingsha missed the European Frankfurt and French Championships. These were the only few events she missed. At the end of the year, Sun Yingsha also competed in the year-end finals and the Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup! However, throughout the year, Sun Yingsha only earned 1.71 million yuan in prize money. In…

On January 12, 2025, the Oman Table Tennis Challenge kicked off. In the women's singles group stage, the national table tennis team suffered a defeat in their debut match, with 18-year-old rookie Zhong Ge Man losing 1-3 to her 17-year-old opponent Ye Yitan. Whether they can advance to the main draw will depend on their performance in the second match. Three members of the national table tennis team need to participate in the singles qualifying matches: Xu Yingbin and Huang Youzheng in men's singles, and Zhong Ge Man in women's singles. Fans may recall that Xu Yingbin was eliminated early in the previous event, defeated by South Korean player Zhao Shengmin. Now, whether there will be any improvement is undoubtedly a focus for fans. Of course, Huang Youzheng and Zhong Ge Man are also worth our anticipation. Although 18-year-old Zhong Ge Man is only ranked 81st, she almost caused an upset against Szu Yen Shih at the star match. It should be noted that this station is officially known as the regular challenge match in Muscat because it is held in Oman. Many fans refer to it as the Oman match, which seamlessly connects with the Doha star match challenge. The level is one step lower, with the champion's points dropping from 600 to 400. The national table tennis team's lineup has been slightly adjusted, with Qian Tianyi and He Zhuojia returning to participate in training, and new additions Tan Yu Xuan and Wang Xiaotong, while other players remain unchanged. Zhou Qihao withdrew from the competition due to injury long…

The "Fan Zhendong Welfare" measures have begun to take effect, with multiple star players absent from the WTT main event, and Sun Yingsha benefiting the most. The incident where Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng withdrew from the world rankings has been over half a month now. This event shook the world of table tennis, as two newly crowned Olympic singles champions announced their withdrawal from the world rankings, challenging capital with their careers. Regardless of the outcome, it is something we should all admire. In response to this, Liu Guoliang, the head of Chinese table tennis, also clearly stated: "The Chinese Table Tennis Association supports athletes in defending their legitimate rights and interests." After the "Fan Zhendong withdrawal incident," the first WTT main event saw the initial success of the welfare measures that Fan Zhendong fought for on behalf of the athletes. As the first WTT main event of 2025, this year's WTT Star Challenge Doha station appeared somewhat dim in terms of star power. The Chinese team competed entirely with newcomers, with the oldest being Qian Tianyi at 24 years old, while the national table tennis top players were all on hiatus. In addition to the Chinese team's main players taking a break, well-known players such as Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, and Lin Shidong did not participate. In stark contrast, both Japan and South Korea sent their full main teams to compete in this WTT Star Challenge Doha station, with players like Zhang Ben siblings, Hina Hayata, Miu Hirano, and Shin Yu-bin all…
