Recently, keen fans discovered that Zhang Jike, the former national table tennis Grand Slam champion, no longer has any existing enterprises under his name, and his only studio has changed from being in operation to being cancelled! The news of all the companies under Zhang Jike's name being cancelled has sparked intense discussions among domestic fans. Once upon a time, Zhang Jike had various advertising endorsements and commercial collaborations pouring in. Nowadays, Zhang Jike's commercial empire is no longer what it used to be, and his only studio has also been officially cancelled. It is understood that Ningbo Haishu Giant Star Yang Cultural Creative Studio was established in April 2024, which is less than a year from now. It is worth noting that before this, Beijing Feiao World Trade Co., Ltd., in which Zhang Jike held a 35% stake, was also cancelled in July 2024. However, although all the companies and studios under Zhang Jike's name have been cancelled, it has not had much impact on him personally! Nowadays, Zhang Jike has officially returned and transformed into a coach, with income mainly coming from live streaming sales and offline teaching. It is understood that Zhang Jike sells table tennis courses on short video social platforms, which directly exploded in sales, earning 1.7 million yuan in less than half a month. Although this income is far less than what Zhang Jike earned at the peak of his career, compared to ordinary people, it is already an exaggerated existence. Although Zhang Jike has achieved success in live streaming sales, he has also…

Confirmed Ball Letting? Sun Yingsha's Internal Battle Contrast Too Great, Post-match Words Worry Fans About Another Let In the WTT Incheon Championship women's singles semi-finals, Sun Yingsha defeated Wang Yidi 4-0 with scores of [11-9, 11-9, 12-10, 11-7]. It is worth noting that just two weeks ago, in the WTT Singapore Grand Slam singles semi-finals, Chen Xingtong defeated Sun Yingsha 4-2, who had no desire to win. Afterward, Chen Xingtong also strangely lost 0:4 to Wang Yidi, changing her full-blooded state against Sun Yingsha. These two matches were considered by outsiders at the time as technical adjustments by the national table tennis leadership to adjust Wang Yidi's points, and there was also public opinion that it was compensation for Wang Yidi's withdrawal from the Olympic women's singles quota. The national table tennis team has had a tradition of letting balls for the past two or three decades, from Jiao Zhimin's 8-year 5 lettings, from Ni Xiaolian being forced to let balls and then moving to Luxembourg, to He Zhi Li refusing to let balls and moving to Japan. Fans have reason to believe that Sun Yingsha made concessions for her teammates within the team. Returning to this match, after scoring, Sun Yingsha did not even look back, her incredible touch was unmatched. Even in Wang Yidi's strong point of holding the ball, Sun Yingsha was not inferior, completely dominating the game. Her spin, placement, rhythm changes, and mid-to-long-range rallies proved that she is the number one forehand among women, Sun Yingsha! Once Sun Yingsha plays an internal battle with the…

Recently, the domestic table tennis scene has been very lively! The two major focuses of discussion among fans are, firstly, fan culture and secondly, criticism and accusations against Liu Guoliang, the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association. In recent times, fan culture in the domestic table tennis scene has been very serious. The media is dissatisfied with this, and the fans find it hard to accept as well. The target of criticism is directly pointed at Liu Guoliang! During the Table Tennis Super League, Fan Zhendong, Wang Manyu, Wang Chuqin, and others have all been affected by fan culture. As the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang is well aware of the harm caused by fan culture, yet he has not taken specific measures to rectify and combat it. The General Administration of Sport has recently launched a heavy crackdown on fan culture. Many famous players or athlete coaches have responded to the call of the Sports Administration. They disbanded their respective fan groups and posted on social media expressing their hope that fans would focus on the matches. In addition, well-known journalist He Xiaolong has recently been continuously criticizing Liu Guoliang. In He Xiaolong's view, Liu Guoliang is the promoter of fan culture and also the culprit behind the withdrawal of three national table tennis Olympic champions from the world rankings. It can be said that under He Xiaolong's pen, Liu Guoliang seems to be completely useless! Is Liu Guoliang really like this? The wealthy husband of Olympic table tennis champion Wang Nan, Guo Bin,…

Can you imagine? Sun Yingsha, who has won so many championships and is battle-hardened, is actually playing in the Asian Cup for the first time. The list for the 2025 Asian Cup has been released, with Sun Yingsha leading the charge. Normally, it's no surprise to see Sun Yingsha on the list; her strength speaks for itself, and her influence is huge, ensuring ticket sales. Hosts everywhere hope that Sun Yingsha will participate. Let's give new fans a brief introduction to the Asian Cup event. In football and basketball, the Asian Championship and the Asian Cup are basically the same thing, but in table tennis, the Asian Championship is separate from the Asian Cup, which is completely different. The Asian Cup was originally one of the most important events in Asian table tennis, distinct from the Asian Championship in that it only features men's and women's singles. The Asian Cup has had a tough journey since its inception in Wuxi, China in 1983, held annually but repeatedly suspended due to various reasons. The last time the Asian Cup was held was in 2022, with the men's and women's singles champions being Tomokazu Harimoto and Wang Yidi, respectively. In the following years of 2023 and 2024, the Asian Cup was once again put on hold until it resumed in 2025, this time in Shenzhen, with the number of participants increasing from 20 to 32 for both men and women. You'll notice that the national team has sent 12 players each for men and women, and other associations, including Japan, have also…

In the keen attention of global table tennis enthusiasts, the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) recently officially announced the latest world rankings for women's singles. This list not only reflects the current strength pattern of female players in the international table tennis arena but also foreshadows possible changes on the field in the future. Among them, many tough players from the Chinese table tennis team still firmly occupy the top of the list, demonstrating the profound heritage and excellent strength of Chinese table tennis. At the top is still the young player known for her agile steps and exquisite skills - Sun Yingsha. Since the last ranking update, Sun Yingsha has maintained her position as the world's number one with stable performance and continuous breakthroughs, showing her unshakable leading position in the women's table tennis world. Immediately following is Wang Manyu, also from China, who with her powerful forehand attack and excellent competitive mentality, has steadily ranked second in the world for several consecutive periods, becoming an indispensable backbone force of the Chinese table tennis team. The third and fourth places are occupied by Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong respectively, both maintaining their previous rankings. Their every appearance on the international stage is full of highlights, whether it is the refinement of technical aspects or the improvement of psychological quality, all of which are eye-catching. The stable performances of these four Chinese female players have undoubtedly won great honor and respect for the Chinese table tennis team on the world stage of table tennis. It is worth noting that in…

Translation of the article content into English: Once the Asian Cup roster was announced, it was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in the domestic table tennis world. This list from China's national table tennis team, whether for the men's or women's teams, has sparked much controversy. First, let's look at the men's team. Fan Zhendong's omission is undoubtedly the focus of the controversy. As an important force in the national team, his absence surprised many people. On the national team side, Wang Hao only responded to Fan Zhendong's omission by saying that the national team had started building its echelon, but this response did not directly address the public's doubts. The saying "Silence is golden" seems inapplicable in this situation, as this silence instead triggered more speculation and questioning, with some even asking, "Why doesn't Wang Hao mention Fan Zhendong? Is he afraid to bring it up?" Fan Zhendong was invited but ultimately not selected, and without a clear explanation from the national team, this controversy became even more pronounced. Now let's turn to the women's team. Qian Tianyi, who once ranked in the top 10 in the world, failed to make the Asian Cup roster, which also sparked heated discussions among fans. The national women's team's Asian Cup roster includes Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, Kuai Man, and Shi Xunyao. Among them, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, and Chen Xingtong are already main players, Kuai Man is the women's singles champion in Doha, and Shi Xunyao is the women's…

The Asian Cup table tennis tournament is set to resume, providing a much-needed boost for the Chinese national team. For young players eager to showcase their skills on an international stage, this competition offers a tailor-made opportunity not just for competition but also for testing, training, and taking flight. For spectators, it's a long-awaited feast of table tennis, with familiar faces returning to the court in a flurry of activity. Speaking of the women's national team, the lineup for this year's Asian Cup is a highlight. Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi are already confirmed, while the participation of Sun Yingsha has become a focal point of attention. From the coaching staff's arrangement, Ma Lin's preference is clear; he seems more inclined to rely on his disciples, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi. The reason is not hard to understand; Wang Manyu has been in scorching form recently, akin to an ice lolly melting in summer, her name frequently under the spotlight as a multiple women's singles champion, earning unwavering trust from the coaching staff. As for Wang Yidi, her status as the 2022 Asian Cup champion has already secured her a spot in the competition. Such confidence is unshakable. However, the suspense surrounding Sun Yingsha's participation has become a hurdle for many fans. As the world's top-ranked player, her abilities are unquestioned, with stability and dominance being her hallmarks. Yet, the harsh reality is that the Asian Cup has limited spots, and Wang Yidi's secured place along with Wang Manyu's hot streak have made Sun Yingsha's chances uncertain. Some may ask…

Recently, a few seemingly casual remarks made by Zhang Jike during a live broadcast have caused a stir in the table tennis community. He mentioned that from the era of Wang Liqin to his own generation, and then to Fan Zhendong becoming the main player, Hao Shuai was always the sparring partner. However, later on, even Fan Zhendong couldn't defeat Hao Shuai anymore, so he stopped being the sparring partner. Behind these words, how many untold stories are hidden? The Changing Winds of the National Table Tennis Team In the quiet training hall at night, the sound of racket swings is crisp and loud. Under the lights, a figure repeats the same action over and over again. This is Hao Shuai, the most mysterious sparring partner of the national table tennis team. The players he has sparred with range from Wang Liqin to Zhang Jike, and then to Fan Zhendong, spanning three generations. The Bittersweet Glory of Being a Sparring Partner On the training ground, the main players shine brightly, while the sparring partners are like stars, silently shining but equally brilliant. Hao Shuai is such a bright star. Starting from the era of Wang Liqin, he stood by the court, ready to step in for sparring at any time. Back then, he was young and energetic, with exquisite skills, yet willing to be a stepping stone for others. The stories on the training ground are always touching. Sometimes Hao Shuai would continuously spar for hours without complaint, even when sweat soaked through his shirt. More surprisingly, he could adapt…

According to the views of Beijing Sports and other media outlets, Wang Chuqin is expected to carry the flag for the men's singles table tennis event at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. It seems as though, in their eyes, aside from Wang Chuqin, there is no one else in the current male table tennis scene capable of standing on their own. However, looking at the specific situation, Wang Chuqin has lost the most crucial element for contending the men's singles championship. Do you remember the match where Fan Zhendong made a comeback against Tomokazu Harimoto? The first game ended with a score of 2-11, the second with 9-11, and although he managed to level the score to 2-2 in the following games, he lost the fifth game with a score of 4-11. Despite receiving brief guidance and stabilizing his performance to drag the match into a decisive game with an 11-7 victory, everyone knew that Fan Zhendong had reached the point of physical and mental exhaustion. His eyes gradually transformed into a sharp, wolf-like gaze, and he ultimately succeeded in reversing the situation with powerful offensive momentum and calmness in critical moments, advancing to the semi-finals. Therefore, those who can go all the way in singles must possess both mentality and strength. On the other hand, what people discuss the most about Wang Chuqin now, and what he is most criticized for, is undoubtedly the issue of the Olympic 32nd place. Although it is known that his usual racket was stepped on and broken, this is not unprecedented. Just like…
