Due to the rule prohibiting romantic relationships within the team, the love affairs of Chinese national table tennis players have instead attracted more attention from fans. It's inevitable that the more mysterious something is, the more it attracts attention. Additionally, when a relationship is discovered within the national table tennis team, one of the parties involved must leave the team. As a result, many players, even if they are together, remain secretive during their playing careers and do not directly respond or admit to any exposure. This is why over the years, there have been rumors among fans about relationships between players such as "Dreamy" Chen Meng and Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, and Chen Xintong and Zhou Qihao. These rumors become even more intriguing due to the lack of response from the players involved, but not all national table tennis players dare not make an official announcement. For example, when players are no longer part of future plans, they are still willing to come clean. Recently, another couple in the national table tennis team has made an official announcement, receiving many blessings from fans. Who is this couple? The male is Yu Ziyang, born in 1998. Like Chen Meng, he hails from Shandong and entered the national team at the age of 14. In 2014, at the age of 16, Yu Ziyang won the men's singles championship at the Japan Open, breaking Fan Zhendong's record for the youngest tour champion in table tennis. Following this, Yu Ziyang paired with Wang Manyu in mixed doubles and with Fan…

On January 3rd, Beijing time, Chinese fans finally received an official statement from the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), announcing the establishment of an investigation team to address issues raised by players and review existing regulations. According to the list of members for this working group, the leader is Sharath Kamal Achanta, the chairman of the ITTF Athletes Committee. This Indian national serves as co-chair of the ITTF Athletes Committee with Liu Shiwen, but surprisingly, Liu Shiwen was not included in the list, which puzzled many people. However, from a practical perspective, excluding Liu Shiwen is not discriminatory; it is highly likely due to the principle of avoiding conflicts of interest since both Liu Shiwen and Fan Zhendong are Chinese nationals. Furthermore, Liu Guoliang, as the first vice-chairman of the ITTF and chairman of the WTT World Table Tennis Corporation, is himself the subject of the review. Therefore, it is not feasible to allow him to act as both judge and player, making his exclusion from the main list entirely reasonable. Despite the absence of Liu Guoliang and his protégé Liu Shiwen, the WTT World Table Tennis Corporation has stated its full support for the ITTF Executive Board's decision to establish a special working group and backs the mission of this working group. Fan Zhendong's dissatisfaction with the WTT's霸王条款 (tyrannical clauses) does not merely reflect his personal subjective will. As early as the previous Olympic cycle, many foreign association players, such as Aruna and Simon Gauzy, had repeatedly criticized various WTT rules and regulations, which was no longer a secret.…

Recently, the Chinese table tennis world has not been calm. Top athletes such as Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng, all Olympic champions, have successively withdrawn from the world rankings, with Liu Guoliang also expressing his stance on their withdrawals. In addition to these three Olympic champions, another national table tennis Olympic champion, Xu Xin, has also had some "friction" with the 68-year-old former national table tennis world champion, Guo Yuehua, due to certain events during the China Table Tennis Super League (CTTSL). In a recent live broadcast, after responding to the topic of defending Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin once again discussed the remarks made by Guo Yuehua in a video, stating frankly that this matter is very disgusting. After the men's team semi-finals of the CTTSL, the three members of the Shanghai team—Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, and Zhou Kai—together accepted media interviews. During the interview, the media reporters almost continuously asked questions directed at Fan Zhendong, which made him somewhat unhappy. At this moment, Xu Xin decisively intervened, directly reminding the media reporters that they were a team and suggesting that everyone first interview Zhou Kai. This action was indeed warm, reflecting Xu Xin's emotional intelligence, as he defended Fan Zhendong while also taking care of Zhou Kai's feelings. Regarding his actions during the interview, Xu Xin also discussed this point in the live broadcast. He said, "During the interview, one question followed another, which is quite impactful for athletes. I noticed that Xiaopang (Fan Zhendong) didn't really want to answer, so I controlled the pace a bit…

Ma Long's eyes were filled with tears, a reflection of deep emotions. There was relief, pride, and perhaps a hint of reluctance. Witnessing Fan Zhendong's victory in the men's singles final at the Paris Olympics, overcoming pressure to defeat strong opponent Tomokazu Harimoto and claim the championship, this veteran's eyes welled up with tears. This moment was not just about celebrating a teammate's triumph but also about witnessing the continuation of the national table tennis spirit.‌ Fan Zhendong, once known as "Little Fatty" and now hailed as "Brother Dong," has embarked on a growth journey akin to an inspiring movie. We recall his early days, fresh and inexperienced, with commendable skills yet lacking stability, prone to faltering under critical circumstances. The trials of major events like the Asian Games and World Table Tennis Championships have honed him into maturity, teaching him how to handle pressure and maintain composure amidst adversity. At the Paris Olympics, Wang Chuqin's unexpected loss placed the burden of securing the men's singles title squarely on Fan Zhendong's shoulders. Facing home-court advantage for Tomokazu Harimoto and the fervent support of the French crowd, Fan Zhendong started off poorly, losing the first two points. Such a setback poses a significant psychological challenge to any athlete. However, Fan Zhendong persevered, playing steadily and inching forward point by point until he ultimately turned the tide and emerged victorious. This win was not merely a testament to technical prowess but also a victory of the mind and willpower.‌ Ma Long, the "Hexagon Warrior," boasts a legendary career. Regarded as one of…

Recently, everyone has been paying attention to Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the world rankings. At present, with the International Table Tennis Federation releasing the latest world rankings and removing the world rankings of Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng, coupled with the voice of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, this incident seems to have passed, but its impact is far from over. First of all, in many people's minds, this matter is actually Fan Zhendong fighting against Liu Guoliang. Because Liu Guoliang serves as the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association while also being the first vice-chairman of the International Table Tennis Federation and the chairman of the WTT Council. That is, Fan Zhendong's dissatisfaction with the new regulations of WTT are actually signed by Liu Guoliang. If you understand it this way, it means that Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the world rankings is almost solely directed by Liu Guoliang. After all, whether it is the International Table Tennis Federation or WTT including the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang has absolute authority. This can also explain why his teammates and coaches did not help him after Fan Zhendong spoke out. Not only that, but netizens also exposed that Wang Hao, the head coach of the Chinese men's table tennis team, unfollowed Fan Zhendong on social media, which also caused a heated discussion. Because Wang Hao's relationship with Fan Zhendong is not ordinary. They both come from the Bayi team, and Wang Hao also served as Fan Zhendong's principal coach for many years. It can be said that…

The excitement in the table tennis world is like a bustling temple fair! Hey, fellow table tennis enthusiasts, recently our table tennis world has been in turmoil, as lively as the Spring Festival.

Even the ITTF President came forward to respond, although he did not disclose any specific scores or event details, but the seriousness of it made people feel that this matter is not simple. Speaking of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, they are the pillars of our table tennis world, one leading figure of the men's team and the backbone of the women's team. Both are considered…

Translation: The "reconciliation" in the table tennis circle? Is Little Fat going to meet with Coach Liu? Recently, the table tennis world has been quite lively! The matter between Little Fat Fan Zhendong and WTT has caused a stir, and many people are worried for him. It's said that Coach Liu Guoliang is going to meet Fan Zhendong? This news immediately set off a storm online, what's going on? Let's talk about it. Little Fat's "firm stance": Is it helplessness or bravery? Fan Zhendong, this kid, withdrew from the world rankings with such determination! What grievances lie behind this? Let's think about it, athletes work so hard, but the bonuses they receive do not match their efforts, which would make anyone uncomfortable, right? The rules are so strict, fines can easily amount to thousands of dollars, the pressure is immense! Netizens have exploded, expressing support for Little Fat, saying he dares to challenge and is a true hero! > "Is WTT making money? Who is the money going to?" This sentence speaks to the hearts of many! The heartwarming actions of the Shanghai team: True affection in times of trouble! To be fair, although Little Fat had a falling out with WTT, the Shanghai team has always supported him! Wang Liqin, Xu Xin, these older brothers, have shown no shortage of concern for him. Coach Wang visited him personally, and Xu Xin even cheered him up, just thinking about this scene warms the heart. With such a group of brothers and sisters supporting him, Little Fat must feel much more…

Wang Chuqin, a name that resonates with Chinese table tennis enthusiasts, is hailed as a prodigy and the hope for the future of national table tennis. However, recent events surrounding him have been more about skepticism, criticism, and even abuse, all stemming from the double-edged sword known as "internet idolization." In his early days, Wang Chuqin made a bold entrance, challenging and defeating the "Hexagon Warrior" Ma Long at the age of 15, and becoming the first post-00s world champion at 18. Such achievements quickly elevated him to the status of a "god" in the hearts of fans, with predictions of him becoming the next legendary figure in national table tennis. Praise and adulation poured in, placing him on a pedestal. However, the allure of competitive sports lies in its unpredictability; there are no permanent winners or losers. The ups and downs of an athlete's performance are part and parcel of the sport. Wang Chuqin experienced this firsthand after the Paris Olympics, where his form fluctuated, resulting in several losses. This is a normal occurrence in sports, yet for those who had deified him, it was unacceptable. The tide turned from adulation to harsh criticism and accusations, with some even suggesting he was involved in match-fixing. The once-celebratory voices now became sharp blades directed at the young athlete. Wang Chuqin's experience is not unique. Many athletes have become victims of internet idolization. For instance, after Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha to win the women's singles title at the Tokyo Olympics, she faced unwarranted attacks due to Sun Yingsha's higher popularity.…

During the opening ceremonies of the Chengdu International ITTF Mixed Team World Cup and the Table Tennis Super League Finals, the calls for the resignation of the Table Tennis Association Chairman Liu Guoliang have intensified. This is particularly evident after Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long withdrew from the world rankings, for which Liu Guoliang, as the head of WTT, cannot shirk responsibility. Will this affect his position? Furthermore, the former director of the Pingyu Center, Yang Xinli, has been transferred to the National Sports General Administration Training Bureau, leaving an open position. There are speculations that Liu Guoliang is a hot candidate for the position, but the final outcome is still uncertain. If Liu Guoliang leaves the Table Tennis Association, who would be the appropriate successor? I believe there are two candidates. Firstly, Wang Liqin. After the resignation of the Table Tennis Association Chairman, it is logical for the Vice-Chairman to take over. Among the Vice-Chairmen, there are Liu Yi, Zhang Xiaopeng, Wang Liqin, Qin Zhijian, Gao Yaxiang, and Zhang Lei, with Wang Liqin having the highest profile and the greatest likelihood of taking over. Secondly, Ma Lin. Liu Guoliang himself was promoted from the head coach of the national table tennis team to the Chairman of the Table Tennis Association, following this path, the head coach of the Chinese table tennis team, Li Sun, had hopes, but at 62 years old, he may not be suitable. Selecting from within the team, the women's table tennis coach Ma Lin is a good choice, as he has excelled both…

Recently, the news that Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng withdrew from the world rankings has caused a stir in the sports world. This decision not only shocked many fans but also made the international table tennis landscape unpredictable. As leaders in Chinese table tennis, their actions were undoubtedly well-considered, reflecting strong dissatisfaction with the WTT commercial event system and a re-planning of their own careers. Liu Guoliang, as the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, chairman of the WTT Council, and first vice-chairman of the International Table Tennis Federation, was pushed to the forefront, facing tremendous public opinion pressure and challenges. In interviews, Liu Guoliang frequently expressed his stance, trying to save the situation. He first admitted that there were unreasonable aspects in the commercial event system launched by WTT, which is itself a positive attitude, indicating that he realized the severity of the problem and was willing to face it and start solving it. He proposed some measures, hoping to promote the return of these veterans, such as stating that all events under WTT are still open to the three Olympic champions, and Fan Zhendong and others can obtain wild card qualifications to participate in commercial competitions. However, such statements seem to have little appeal to Fan Zhendong and others, or even be worthless. Fan Zhendong has previously stated clearly in his statement that the reason he chose to withdraw from the world rankings is because the new regulations of WTT made him dissatisfied. In his view, this system has many unreasonable aspects, such as overemphasizing…
