China Table Tennis Association Chairman Liu Guoliang presented trophies to both the women's and men's teams as an award guest! Shandong Luneng Club won a prize of 1 million yuan, and Shandong Weiqiao Club also received a prize of 1 million yuan. After going through the first stage of the Super League, they came to the Super League finals, where both teams went through five levels and six generals to finally defend their championship. Chairman Liu Guoliang of the China Table Tennis Association, when asked by the central media, said: Do Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long still want to participate in world-class competitions? Chairman Liu Guoliang emphasized that the three of them are excellent athletes and meritorious players of the country. They will still be legendary players of the national team in the future. As long as Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long want to participate in world-class competitions, they can participate in world-class competitions by obtaining P cards. There is no lack of opportunities to participate in the most important competitions in the world. So, who saw Chairman Liu Guoliang's award presentation status? It was obvious that he was forcing a smile. The players of Luneng Club were all happy to receive the trophy, Wang Manyu smiled happily, Chen Xintong communicated with her and was photographed, Sun Yingsha, the runner-up of the Super League finals, was very relieved and at peace, not at all brooding over it! Similarly, when Chairman Liu Guoliang presented the award to Shandong Weiqiao Club, he was heartbroken by the incident of…

With the conclusion of the 2024 Ping Pong Super League, the Chinese National Table Tennis Team is set to embark on its first major event of the new season. Although the Doha Star Challenge will kick off on January 6th, the main players of the national team will focus on preparing for the Singapore Grand Slam event at the end of January, marking the official start of the new season's journey! In this Singapore Grand Slam event, the national table tennis team has sent out a luxurious lineup. In the men's singles, six players including Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong, and Liang Jingkun will participate; in the women's singles, six players including Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Wang Yidi will compete. What is noteworthy is that in the doubles events, the coaching staff has made some bold innovative attempts. Of particular interest is the new men's doubles pairing of Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong. This is a strategic attempt by the coaching staff with an eye on the Los Angeles Olympics. As the most outstanding newcomer recently, Lin Shidong not only climbed to second place in the world rankings but also won the MVP in the just-concluded Ping Pong Super League. This time, he will participate in three events simultaneously: men's singles, men's doubles, and mixed doubles, becoming the only all-around player in the national table tennis team. Against the backdrop of Fan Zhendong and Ma Long gradually withdrawing from the international arena, Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong have undoubtedly become the new leaders of the national table tennis team. However,…

Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal from the world rankings has stirred up quite a buzz in the table tennis community. The two made their announcements nearly three hours apart, each with their own unique way of expressing themselves. Fan Zhendong is straightforward, while Chen Meng tends to speak in a more roundabout manner, revealing a multitude of nuances. Fan Zhendong, known for his decisive playing style, has been equally direct about his decision to withdraw from world ranking competitions, stating that he will only participate in the National Games. Having already achieved a super grand slam, his approach to speaking reflects the same decisiveness as his playstyle. This candidness might give the impression that he no longer cares about competitions, having won every possible honor. Now, it seems he just wants to take a break, playing when he feels like it and skipping when he doesn't, suggesting a genuine sense of letting go. It's not surprising that Fan Zhendong speaks so confidently; after all, he has truly accomplished everything, from the Olympics to the World Championships and the World Cup. His assertiveness is well-deserved. Chen Meng's situation is different. She is just one World Table Tennis Championship title away from completing her grand slam, which is why she speaks more cautiously, hinting at a desire to continue competing. During a lecture at Peking University, when asked about her decision, Chen Meng repeatedly mentioned the possibility of returning to competition in the future, clearly indicating a wish to give it another shot. With the Doha World Table Tennis Championships coming…

It must be said that Xu Xin is really versatile, including his two children who are also very comprehensive. Recently, the second stage of the Ping Super League has already started in Shanghai, and of course Xu Xin also participated, and he even brought his wife and children this time. When Xu Xin was interviewed, his son was playing with another girl next to him, while his daughter kept looking at him. After a while, his wife Yao Yan went to catch the son. Netizens summarized: "The father being interviewed, the quiet sister, the mother catching the baby, the brother taking off" haha. It must be said that Xu Xin's son and daughter are really cute. Because sometimes, Xu Xin also posts some photos of their daily life on social media, and both children are lively and cute. Today, Yao Yan shared some daily videos with everyone. In the video, the two children were calling Sun Yingsha haha. First, the younger sister lay on the bed, holding a toy phone, calling Sun Yingsha, and saying, "Sister Sasha, see you later" haha. Then the older brother ran over and said, "Don't hang up the phone, I haven't talked to Sister Sasha yet," and then started talking, asking, "Is Sister Sasha working in the office?" Really, these two little guys are just too cute!!! It feels like they are very happy in this family, and the two siblings are happy every day. It's so envious! Later, Yao Yan also added a photo of the two children with Sun Yingsha, it seems that…

The 2024 season of the Chinese Ping Pong Super League has come to a successful conclusion. Last season's two runner-up teams, Shandong Luneng Women's Team and Shandong Weiqiao Men's Team, both successfully won the championship, making Shandong the biggest winner. Both finals were very exciting, with the women's team battling it out until the decisive game of the final set, while the men's team decided the champion in just three sets, but the process was also intense, especially the first two sets which were close victories. Deng Yaping commented on the women's team match, providing us with a very exciting (and slightly dramatic) game. Wang Chuqin's loud roar after the game sparked some controversy. At the press conference, he said that he could always feel everyone's support and cheers for him. As I've said before, I hope to repay their support through my good performances in each match. Playing at my best in the game is the best way to give back to everyone. After Liang Jingkun defeated Xue Fei, Wang Chuqin immediately ran out from the standby area and gave Liang Jingkun a big hug. At the award ceremony, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin stood together, and Liang Jingkun finally gave his place to Wang Chuqin, allowing his good brother Wang Chuqin to stand in the middle. The rewards are quite rich, especially for the champion teams, with heavy trophies, banners, and of course, cash prizes. The champion team receives 1 million yuan, the runner-up team receives 700,000 yuan, and the third-place team receives 300,000 yuan. The women's team…

"Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin are too hardworking! Can't Liu Guoliang let them take a break?" This is the hottest topic of discussion among table tennis fans recently. The 2024 ITTF Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup has just concluded, with the national team winning the championship again with its strong strength. However, behind this victory, many fans have questioned Liu Guoliang's arrangements: why do young players like Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin almost always play in every match, without even a chance to catch their breath? Let's delve into the reasons behind this, and perhaps you'll find that "this melon is really juicy!" Behind the 380 million consumption: the game is not just a game, it's also business! Let's take a look at the results of this Chengdu World Cup: ticket revenue of 45 million yuan, and the event directly drove 380 million yuan in consumption. Yes, this is not only a sports feast, but also an economic feast. As the "mastermind" of table tennis, a national-level sport, Liu Guoliang needs to consider not only the championship trophy, but also pave the way for the market development of table tennis. Why can't Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin rest? It's simple, because they are currently the most popular "top stream" in the table tennis world. According to insiders, the high ticket prices for this match - ranging from 288 yuan to 1088 yuan - many viewers came for them. If these two young players were allowed to rest, the box office, attention, and heat of the game would plummet. Liu Guoliang…

Translation of the article content into English: On the stage of sports competition, every change in the rankings stirs the hearts of countless fans. However, the recent experiences of national table tennis stars Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng have caused a huge stir. On December 31st, Beijing time, when the WTT World Table Tennis Federation announced the latest rankings, a shocking fact was presented to everyone - not only were Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng removed from the ranking list, but even their profile pictures on the official website were quietly deleted. This sudden move was like a blockbuster bomb, instantly sparking widespread attention and discussion in the table tennis world. Looking back at the entire incident, since Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng announced their withdrawal from the world rankings, they have been at the forefront of public opinion. Previously, amidst great controversy, the 53rd week world rankings published by WTT, which was also the last issue of the 2024 rankings, became the catalyst for this turmoil. In this ranking, the names of Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng disappeared without a trace, as if they had never left their mark on this stage. The men's singles landscape has undergone significant changes due to their departure. Once, Chinese national table tennis occupied important seats in the top five positions in the world, with many excellent players winning honor and dignity for the country through their outstanding abilities and stable performances. However, now, in the latest rankings, only two Chinese players, Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong, remain in the top…

In the grand stage of the Ping Pong Super League finals, the spotlight shone brightly and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme. The peak confrontation between Sun Yingsha and Qian Tianyi, two female national table tennis players, was instantly ignited by a highly controversial edge ball. At a critical moment, would the referee's mistaken call become the key to determining victory or defeat? Could Sun Yingsha complete an astonishing comeback in adversity? Suspense began to spread from this moment... During the third set of the match, with the score tightly contested and every point gripping the heartstrings, Sun Yingsha's return brushed the edge of Qian Tianyi's side of the table like a ghost, almost imperceptibly. However, the referee's whistle sounded at this moment, awarding the point to Qian Tianyi. Sun Yingsha was momentarily stunned; she was convinced it was a good shot. Immediately, she protested to the referee, but the referee did not respond and did not even review the play, maintaining the original decision. At this moment, the atmosphere on the court instantly solidified, and controversy erupted. Facing Sun Yingsha's protest, Qian Tianyi, as the opponent, chose silence. She did not express any opinion but silently prepared for the next serve. This silence may have been out of respect for the referee's decision or perhaps to avoid escalating the controversy further. While Sun Yingsha, despite her unsuccessful protest, did not lose heart. Her eyes sparkled with an indomitable light, as if telling everyone: I will not give up! Despite being affected by the misjudgment, Sun Yingsha seemed to…

It seems that no one has noticed, but since Fan Zhendong stood up against WTT, the Chinese Table Tennis Association, the national team coaching staff, including Big Head, Sha Sha, and Mian Yu, among others, have all been eerily silent. Do they not care about this matter? No, they are merely using silence as a way to completely separate themselves from Fan Zhendong. This means that Fan Zhendong, having gone all-in and staked his future years in table tennis, his livelihood, and his reputation, has lost the brilliant stage of the national team. From past experiences, WTT is unlikely to admit fault or change its rules for anyone, and according to the usual style of the national team, even if Liu Guoliang says that Fan Zhendong can serve the country through a wild card, it's clear that he won't easily relent. Furthermore, Wang Hao once said in front of the CCTV camera that Wang Chuqin is the core figure in the process of new and old alternation within the national team. This should make you understand that as the connecting point between the Three Musketeers era and the new era, Fan Zhendong has completed his historical mission, and his relationship with the national team is likely to gradually drift apart, ultimately being shut out. So, under these circumstances, how should Fan Zhendong break the deadlock? Personally, I believe that regardless of how the national team promotes Wang Chuqin, the current echelon construction cannot do without Fan Zhendong. Whether they admit it or not, Fan Zhendong is the only T0 player…

I also sighed when I saw this news. The former director of the General Administration of Sport, Gou Zhongwen, has been officially arrested. As a table tennis fan, think about it carefully, this is really a strange thing - a top leader of the sports bureau has turned our proud national table tennis upside down. Speaking of his operations, it's really laughable. How did he become the sports director? He implemented a unified national physical test, regardless of whether you are a swimmer or a table tennis player, everyone must follow the same standard. Isn't this just playing around? As a result, many world champions and Olympic champions were "killed" by this one-size-fits-all approach, even losing their eligibility to participate. What makes me most angry is when he targeted the national table tennis team. He not only marginalized Cai Zhenhua, our table tennis hero, but also removed Liu Guoliang from the position of head coach and placed him as a vice-chairman of the Table Tennis Association. Isn't this just causing trouble for no reason? At that time, it really angered Ma Long, Xu Xin, and others, leading to the "June 23 strike," which was unprecedented in the history of national table tennis! But looking back now, it's really the turn of fortune. Liu Guoliang is now the chairman of the Table Tennis Association, leading the national table tennis team to win championship after championship. Cai Zhenhua also retired peacefully. On the contrary, Gou Zhongwen himself stumbled, and now he is charged with bribery and abuse of power. Speaking of the…
