Today, I want to talk about a recent incident that has caused quite a stir. It started as a small matter, but quickly escalated into a snowball effect, causing a commotion throughout the city. I'm referring to the situation involving Japanese table tennis player, Early Field Xina. This matter is quite peculiar; she just opened an account on a Chinese social media platform, and then went to visit a Japanese shrine? That's quite a show! What kind of play are you putting on, Early Field Xina? Let's start from the beginning. Early Field Xina is a Japanese table tennis player, with a charming appearance and decent skills. She won a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics, which can be considered a modest achievement. Because she often competes against our national table tennis players, she is quite well-known in China. Just the other day, she took photos with our players Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha, looking quite affectionate. Fan Zhendong even suggested that she open an account on a Chinese social media platform, and once it was opened, her followers skyrocketed, making her on the verge of becoming an internet sensation. But good times didn't last long! As soon as this girl returned to Japan, she gave an interview saying she wanted to visit the "Tomori Special Attack Peace Museum." This stirred up a hornet's nest! This so-called "Peace Museum" is essentially a place to commemorate World War II Japanese aggressors. It houses relics of the Japanese army that invaded China, under the guise of "commemorating peace," but in reality, it…

Recently, the table tennis super league stage has played two intriguing "controversial dramas," unexpectedly reaping a full warmth and sportsmanship. This can't help but make people sigh: In competitive sports, sometimes the most touching stories often happen outside of gains and losses. First, let's talk about the highly anticipated finals between Wang Manyu and Tan Yuxuan. The game was in full swing when suddenly, a seemingly ordinary return caused the entire venue to fall into a brief "cold field." The situation at that time was as follows: Wang Manyu hit the ball back, and Tan Yuxuan beautifully completed the counterattack. It looked like a normal round, but because of a "double touch table" controversy, the game had to be suspended for nearly 10 minutes. "How many times did this ball hit?" The audience discussed animatedly. The commentators hurriedly played the slow-motion replay and carefully studied every detail. Through the slow motion, it could be seen clearly that the ball did not actually double touch the table, and Tan Yuxuan's counterattack could be said to be quite a beautiful shot. However, surprisingly, the referee eventually ruled that the ball should be re-served, and this score that originally belonged to Tan Yuxuan was thus cancelled. At this critical moment, the performance of the two players was eye-catching. There was no excessive debate, no loss of composure, and the game continued as if the previous controversy had never happened. Next, let's talk about another focus match - Sun Yingsha against Qian Tianyi. The situation was equally thrilling at the time: Yingsha relied on…

On January 3rd, Zhang Yang, the head coach of Shanghai Real Estate Group in the Table Tennis Super League, made headlines after an interview with Oriental Sports Daily. In the interview, he discussed how Fan Zhendong was supported during the Paris Olympics, which moved fans across the internet. Zhang Yang began by saying that since they brought in Fan Zhendong, their overall strength has been significantly enhanced. Fan Zhendong achieved a grand slam at the Paris Olympics, and during this close encounter in the Table Tennis Super League, they also witnessed his strength in daily training. This year, Fan Zhendong has saved the team multiple times in key matches, which everyone can see clearly. Next, Zhang Yang revealed who was actually supporting Fan Zhendong, stating, "From the perspective of the Paris Olympics, it was under the leadership of Director Wang (Wang Liqin) that we all went to the scene to watch and support Fan Zhendong's matches, mainly doing some support work." This statement from Zhang Yang also moved fans across the internet, with many expressing gratitude for Wang Liqin and the team spirit of the Shanghai team. Netizens left messages thanking Wang Liqin and expressing confusion, "Fan Zhendong is a member of the national table tennis team, why does he need the provincial team to provide logistics support? What does this indicate?" "Wang Liqin really understands Fan Zhendong. Thank you for taking care of him all these years; your affection for Xiao Pang hasn't changed at all! The image of him rushing to shake hands after winning the championship is…

Recently, the withdrawal of three Olympic champions, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long from the world rankings has become a hot topic in the sports world. Among them, WTT (World Table Tennis Corporation) and Coach Liu Guoliang have become the targets of criticism from fans and media. Hong Kong media has even criticized WTT for using Chinese money to bully Chinese athletes. Whether it's Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, or Ma Long, their withdrawal from the world rankings is due to new regulations introduced by WTT, which stipulate that players who do not participate in competitions will be fined. Ma Long, as a 36-year-old veteran, although experienced, is definitely not as physically fit as before. Ma Long did not really plan to retire in the near future; out of love for the sport, he still wanted to compete in some events. However, with the introduction of these new rules, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up participating! Fan Zhendong's situation is even more complicated. We could sense his inner helplessness from his official announcement. Chen Meng's situation is similar. She had considered not playing during the Paris Olympics cycle. It was Coach Liu Guoliang who inspired Chen Meng, and she returned to the court again. The withdrawal of these three Olympic champions will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the promotion and development of table tennis! Therefore, there must be problems with the regulations set by WTT. Hong Kong media 01 Sports pointed out in its article that most of WTT's sponsors come from China. Companies like Baishui…

In the big family of the national table tennis team, there are countless stories between senior and junior brothers and sisters. However, the most special combination of senior and junior siblings is none other than Zhang Jike and Wang Manyu. This pair of siblings from the "Xiao School" may not have had much time to fight side by side on the court, but they have written a touching story of inheritance in the world of table tennis. The saying "Qin School has many Confucian generals, Xiao School kills all around" vividly describes the characteristics of the disciples under Coach Xiao Zhan - fierce playing style, tenacious style, and more importantly, valuing affection and righteousness. This unique bond of the "Xiao School" is perfectly embodied in Zhang Jike and Wang Manyu. Recently, an incident at the China Table Tennis Super League once again brought the story of this brother-sister duo into focus. In the match between Wang Manyu and Tan Yuexuan, an unexpected event occurred. When Wang Manyu was about to serve, she was interrupted four times by some spectators on site. This targeted interference behavior made people frown. "How hard is it to serve?" The audience present couldn't bear to watch. Although Wang Manyu showed strong on the court and chose to confront these disruptive behaviors head-on, who could say that she wasn't wronged in her heart? At this moment, "Brother Ke" stepped in! Zhang Jike directly followed Wang Manyu's account on social media, expressing his support for his little sister in this way. And Wang Manyu also quickly followed…

Focus on Sports News, Pay Attention to On and Off the Field Recently, the collective withdrawal from the world rankings by two Olympic champions, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, has caused a stir in the table tennis world. In fact, not only Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng have withdrawn from the rankings, but also a more heavyweight player, Ma Long, who is regarded as the GOAT of the table tennis world. Moreover, it is said that Ma Long was the first of the three to withdraw from the rankings, although he did not publicly declare his withdrawal like Fan and Chen. Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng are of great influence and status in the world table tennis arena. Coupled with some deficiencies in WTT's participation regulations, this incident has gradually evolved into a game of wits and battles between top players and WTT. The situation seems to be escalating. After a period of fermentation, seeing that neither side has shown any signs of "bowing," the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) finally decided to send an "envoy" for investigation. On the afternoon of January 3rd, the international table tennis world officially announced an important message: A special investigation team will be established to solve the series of problems raised by the players recently and conduct a comprehensive review of the existing regulations. The members of this investigation team include: ITTF Athletes Committee Chairman Achtar, ITTF Executive Committee Vice Chairman Mieshifov; WTT Chief Event Officer Barsa, WTT Player Relations Director Sehweng. The decision of the ITTF is a positive response…

"Can the shoulders of top athletes really bear the heavy pressure?" When Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng, the top-level players in Chinese table tennis, announced their withdrawal from the world rankings, many fans were shocked and confused. Especially after Zhang Jike's sharp comments "blind self-confidence" in the live broadcast room added fuel to the fire, the whole incident quickly topped the hot search list. Behind the bright champion identity, there are actually unknown difficulties: Do athletes withdraw from the game for personal development needs or for other reasons? The storm surrounding "leaving" once again ignited the controversy about competitive sports. Fan Zhendong, known as the "next leader" of the Chinese table tennis team, has been highly anticipated since the beginning of his career. As many fans say, he carries a charm of steady progress. At the Tokyo Olympics, he engaged in an epic battle with Ma Long, although he eventually finished as the runner-up, his aggressive playing style and modernized style still won applause from the global table tennis community. However, the decision to withdraw from the world rankings may have revealed another layer of reality: Will the intertwined pressure and expectations at the peak make him feel breathless? A choice to "disappear" may be to find a new direction. Looking at Ma Long, he is the true "spiritual pillar" of Chinese table tennis. From the World Table Tennis Championships, the Olympics to the World Cup, this "Grand Slam winner" has won trophies one by one with his exquisite skills and strong mental quality. But do you know?…

Among them, WTT (World Table Tennis Corporation) and Liu Guoliang, the head coach, have become the targets of criticism from fans and the media. Hong Kong media is even more furious at WTT for using Chinese money to bully Chinese athletes. Whether it's Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, or Ma Long, their withdrawal from the world rankings is due to new regulations introduced by WTT, which stipulate that players will be fined if they do not participate in competitions. Ma Long, as a 36-year-old veteran, although experienced, cannot match his previous physical condition. Ma Long did not really plan to retire in the near future; out of love for the sport, he still wanted to compete in some events. However, with the introduction of these new rules, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up participating! Fan Zhendong's situation is even more complicated. We can sense his inner helplessness from his official announcement. Chen Meng's situation is similar. She had considered not playing during the Paris Olympic cycle. It was Liu Guoliang's encouragement that motivated Chen Meng to return to the court again.

Zhang Jike's words really caught everyone's attention. Honestly, as soon as he opened his mouth, many people couldn't sit still. You see, once these words were spoken, the scene erupted, and netizens were buzzing with discussion, each one like they had swallowed gunpowder, speculating about who exactly he was referring to, especially the blindly confident player he mentioned. Netizens were full of question marks, pointing directly at Wang Chuqin. Zhang Jike did not directly name anyone, which made people even more entangled. Honestly, this topic immediately made everyone think of certain players, especially Wang Chuqin, the young force of the current national table tennis team. Although he won mixed doubles gold and men's team gold at the Paris Olympics, what about his singles performance? There really wasn't much to show for it. Zhang Jike's words ignited this topic, making people pay even more attention to whether Wang Chuqin could achieve a Grand Slam in singles, after all, that is the standard achievement for him as a top player. Zhang Jike's point that results are the standard of strength cannot be refuted. After all, he himself is the most vivid example, completing the Grand Slam at the age of 24 in just 445 days, who can do that? He won the championships of the World Cup, World Championships, and Olympics back then, and in terms of singles results alone, he was almost invincible. Who would dare say he doesn't have enough strength? Some netizens said: Zhang Jike's words make a lot of sense. After all, results are the hard truth. Can…

Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the world rankings has once again become a joke. First, Liu Guoliang responded directly to this matter: regarding whether Chen Meng, Ma Long, and Fan Zhendong can still participate in international competitions in the future? Liu Guoliang stated that based on their contributions to the national table tennis team, they can always participate in competitions with a wild card qualification. It can be said that this move is really too harsh, meaning that when the national table tennis team needs you to participate in the competition, you must come. Not coming is an expression of not loving your country. The country has invested so many resources in training you, but you do not put the honor of the country first. On the other hand, the national table tennis team has already agreed to the applications of the three, which means that the three no longer have a world ranking. When they want to participate in competitions themselves, the national table tennis team may not give them the opportunity. Therefore, Liu Guoliang's move is invincible, completely controlling the athletes. Due to the huge network public opinion caused by this incident, both WTT and the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) have now posted articles to shift responsibility onto each other. First, the official WTT account posted that the ITTF has established a special working group responsible for collecting feedback from athletes and reviewing existing regulations. They will hold a player forum at the end of the month during the WTT Singapore Grand Slam to provide…
