Yesterday's Ping Pong Super League final once again sparked significant controversy. Due to the interference of fanatical fans, both Wang Manyu in the women's team final and Lin Shidong in the men's team final appeared extremely agitated, which is unimaginable under normal circumstances. It can be foreseen that with Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal, Wang Manyu and Lin Shidong will become the next victims of these fanatical fans. As the head of the national table tennis team, what should Liu Guoliang do? In yesterday's Ping Pong Super League final, the women's team final caused the most controversy when Wang Manyu had a dispute with Sun Yingsha and the referee, leading to a 10-minute interruption in the game. For Wang Manyu, who is usually calm, this scene was quite rare. There are various opinions about this incident online. Some say that Wang Manyu couldn't accept defeat and made a fuss over a single point, while more people believe that Wang Manyu wasn't making a fuss at the referee but was communicating with the referee due to the interference of fanatical fans, which led to the interruption of the game. From the game, it can be seen that the on-site fans overwhelmingly supported Sun Yingsha's Shenzhen University team, which indeed had a significant impact on Wang Manyu and Chen Xintong's Shandong Luneng team. After the game, Wang Manyu rarely roared and waved her arms passionately to celebrate, releasing her pressure. Chen Xintong even praised Wang Manyu for daring to stand up against tens of thousands of people, calling her brave. This…

The Asia-Pacific Youth Entrepreneurs Council officially announced that table tennis player Fan Zhendong has been selected for the Asia-Pacific U30 Outstanding Young Leaders list, becoming an outstanding young leader in the Asia-Pacific region. The Asia-Pacific region covers a wide area, and being selected is enough to show how excellent he is. Ironically, at the peak of his career, just five months after winning the Olympic championship, he was forced into semi-retirement. On the last night of 2024, at the Shanghai Ten Thousand People Stadium, he waved his arms to bid farewell to everyone with a dejected expression, messy hair, and a thin face, leaving behind a hurried departing figure. Time seems hazy, thinking of the cute young him, full of spirit, freely swinging his racket, and proudly holding up the trophy, it makes one's nose sour and tears fill the eyes. At only 27 years old, full of vigor, he could have continued the glory of table tennis, but he retired early. He said on Weibo that because WTT does not participate in competitions, there will be fines, which is actually dissatisfaction with the organization's exploitation of athletes. With nearly 30 competitions a year, it is very tiring, and apart from the top eight, you still have to pay to participate, like Zhou Bapi. He wants to express his dissatisfaction and protest through this. Other athletes may be willing but unable, but now that he has influence, he wants to do his part. But this also ended his sports career. There is a tragic and heroic feeling, which makes one…

The 2024 Table Tennis Super League has come to a close, and it is well-known that this year's league saw significant investment from the Chinese Table Tennis Association. Whether in terms of the scale of the event or the re-invitation of foreign association players to participate, this year's league was made incredibly exciting. In the second stage of the competition, on the women's side, Shandong Luneng and Shenzhen University engaged in a fierce battle. Sun Yingsha defeated Wang Manyu and Qian Tianyi to score 2 points, but unfortunately, the team lost all three other matches. Shandong Luneng defeated Shenzhen University to win the championship for this season. On the men's side, the two major favorites for the title, Shanghai Real Estate and Weiqiao, met early. Wang Chuqin led Weiqiao to defeat Fan Zhendong's Shanghai Real Estate and advance to the final. In the final, Wang Chuqin's team defeated Lin Shidong's team to ultimately claim the championship. After the men's team competition concluded with Wang Chuqin leading Weiqiao to a successful championship victory, let's take a look at the Table Tennis Super League prize money rankings. Starting with fifth place, Fan Zhendong, who plays for Shanghai Real Estate, finished third and received a prize of 300,000 RMB. It is widely known that the prize money in the Table Tennis Super League is calculated based on appearance rate + contribution value. However, since the prize is shared between players and coaches, Fan Zhendong's share amounts to around 40,000-50,000 RMB. Fourth place goes to Lin Gaoyuan, whose team, Mingrun, ranked fourth. However, Lin…

In the Ping Pong Super League match on New Year's Eve, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin faced off, which reminded me of many exciting matches I've seen before. However, this time it felt particularly different because Wang Chuqin was in excellent form and exuded an indescribable aura. During the first game, Wang Chuqin unleashed a ferocious attack with his forehand quick pull shots that caught Fan Zhendong off guard. His overall momentum was strong, and you could see him constantly clenching his fists to cheer himself up on the sidelines. In the second game, Wang Chuqin continued his aggressive playstyle with high-quality serves and well-executed backhand connections, putting Fan Zhendong on the defensive from the receiving end. The match rhythm was completely controlled by Wang Chuqin, who maintained a high level of quality in the first three rallies and moved quickly, entering an exceptional state. At this point, Fan Zhendong appeared somewhat anxious, with his mistakes increasing, especially in handling critical points, lacking the composure he once had, possibly due to Wang Chuqin's overwhelming momentum. In the third game, Fan Zhendong began adjusting his tactics, enhancing his defensive awareness and starting with a small scoring spree, which limited Wang Chuqin's offense to some extent. However, Wang Chuqin did not lose his rhythm due to this setback. He continued his proactive approach, and although he lost this game, his overall momentum remained largely unaffected. The fourth game was particularly thrilling, with both players giving their all. However, Wang Chuqin's form was too good; his forehand attacks were decisive, and the quality…

Recently, the Chinese table tennis world has been in turmoil. Especially since the start of the Super League, various unexpected events have occurred frequently. Firstly, fan culture has caused a lot of trouble! When Fan Zhendong participated in the Super League and arrived at his hotel, he was surrounded by fans, resulting in poor rest at night! In addition, he was also insulted by a student from a police school. The incident involving Fan Zhendong had not completely passed when Wang Chuqin went to the hospital for treatment, only to have his personal information leaked by a doctor. This was followed by a college teacher angrily scolding Ma Long and Fan Zhendong, who later apologized. Just when the fan culture was not so crazy anymore, the players went wild! Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng could not accept the new rule from WTT that fines them for not participating in competitions, so they both announced their withdrawal from the world rankings. As a result, Liu Guoliang, the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, chairman of WTT, and first vice-chairman of the International Table Tennis Federation, was put in an awkward position. Two capable players may be absent from WTT events for a long time. However, this also led to fans directing their anger towards Liu Guoliang. Liu Guoliang responded to Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal from the world rankings. He stated that he fully understands, supports, and respects their personal choices and decisions. As the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, he will do his utmost to support…

Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal from the world rankings has caused quite a stir, with CCTV News Channel devoting a full eight minutes to discussing the matter, which has really stirred up a hornet's nest. The fines imposed on national table tennis players have left everyone uneasy. After Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng withdrew from the world rankings, many people speculated about the reasons behind it. To put it bluntly, the WTT rules are too domineering. Athletes who do not participate in competitions face a fine of $5,000, which is unbearable for anyone. Athletes' physical conditions change every day, and sometimes they are truly plagued by injuries. However, to avoid being fined, they have no choice but to tough it out and compete, resulting in subpar match quality under such circumstances. CCTV host Wang Ning is right; everything should be centered around the athletes. However, in reality, athletes within this system are akin to exploited laborers with no say. WTT, registered in the Cayman Islands, is all about making money. They do not care about the well-being of the athletes, as long as they can make a profit. The ticket revenue for the Beijing Grand Slam alone amounts to 60 million yuan, not including other advertising income and sponsorship fees. Yet, the prize money for the competition is only over 10 million yuan, which is a huge disparity. Why don't table tennis athletes enjoy the same treatment as tennis players, who have exemptions from participating in certain events? Both are professional sports, yet the difference in treatment is too…

The announcement of the national table tennis team's Singapore Grand Slam lineup has sparked an immediate reaction from the outside world: "The three giants are not here, so is this new combination reliable?" Looking at the layout of the list, it is clear that the national table tennis team is using a top-level event to pave the way for the new cycle, but what kind of report card will this wave of "experimentation" deliver? We need to delve into this. Men's doubles: What is the bet with Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong? Wang Chuqin, known as the "golden left hand," has rich experience in doubles and is a double ace of the national table tennis team. On the other hand, Lin Shidong is young and energetic, but his experience in doubles is slightly weak. Although they have cooperated in the men's team at the Asian Championships, that was a short-term collaboration in a team event, which is different from officially participating as a pair. Looking at the men's doubles field, international opponents like Tomokazu Harimoto/Koki Niwa have默契配合 and mature playing styles, posing a significant challenge to the national table tennis team. So why did the national table tennis team choose this new partner? The answer is one word: practice. The core task of the new cycle is to break the old pattern and cultivate new generations. Wang Chuqin's task of "taking care of the baby" is not only about performance on the court but also about allowing young players like Lin Shidong to accumulate pressure resistance in major competitions. If…

On January 2nd, Beijing time, Sun Yingsha really did her best. Not only did she make two incredible comebacks to score two points, but she also had to teach Tan Yuexuan how to play against Wang Manyu. In order to win the championship, Sasha fought hard, but Shenzhen University lost, yet she herself did not lose. Shenzhen University ultimately lost 2:3 to Shandong Luneng, forfeiting the title of this season's table tennis super league finals. However, it must be said that although Shenzhen University lost, Sun Yingsha did not lose; she truly gave it her all. On one hand, she scored two points as the first singles player, and on the other, she had to teach her teammates how to win, even sacrificing her own time for warm-up. Sasha has done everything she could. From a personal standpoint, Sun Yingsha has no regrets about this final. She trailed 0:2 against Wang Manyu but staged an incredible comeback to win three straight games. Against Qian Tianyi, she was down 1:2 and faced some controversial calls, but she still managed to win two consecutive games to complete the great comeback. Twice she played full ten games, winning both matches, and she has already scored as much as she could. We cannot expect Sun Yingsha to do more. In a singles match, she can only earn 1 point, and as the first singles player, she has already secured two points, which is more than enough. As the oldest and core player in the team, Sasha had no issues in singles play. Moreover, to…

Ungratefulness! The Table Tennis Association responds to Ma Long's withdrawal, exposing the four major sponsors of WTT, and recommending strict investigation The Table Tennis Association has responded with just a few light words, sweeping away the years of effort and achievements of Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng in one fell swoop! Following Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's announcement of their withdrawal from the world rankings on December 27th, Ma Long also announced his withdrawal from the world rankings on December 31st. This has sparked even more discussion among fans. With three key players withdrawing at once, can WTT and the Table Tennis Association still remain calm? You guessed it! They can't sit still anymore, but the content of their response has left fans dissatisfied! Liu Guoliang responded by saying that all three are outstanding table tennis athletes who have made significant contributions. The Table Tennis Association respects each of their decisions, and if they wish to return in the future, they are always welcome. Crucially, WTT insiders themselves feel that there are issues with the event schedule, but despite knowing this, they continue as usual! If Fan Zhendong hadn't gambled with the rest of his career this time, would anyone take it seriously? Is Liu Guoliang's response this time out of genuine good wishes for the three or is it due to pressure? There wasn't as much public opinion when Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong withdrew, but it was only after Ma Long announced his withdrawal that it caused more heated discussions. This should also be considered as…

In the men's team final of the 2024 Ping Pong Super League Finals, Shandong Weiqiao faced Huangshi Base. In the second match, which was a focus of attention, Wang Chuqin emerged victorious over Lin Shidong with a score of 3-2 (6-11, 12-10, 11-4, 6-11, 11-5), helping Shandong Weiqiao take a 2-0 lead in the overall score! After winning this crucial match, Wang Chuqin let out a loud roar to the sky, releasing his pent-up emotions, which clearly showed how difficult it was to win this match, as Lin Shidong's play made him very uncomfortable. This also indicates that Wang Chuqin still needs to further strengthen his emotional control; with his abilities, he might not have needed to go all five sets to determine the outcome, but his often impetuous temperament may limit his performance. In the women's team final that concluded earlier, Shandong Luneng, represented by Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, and Qian Tianyi, narrowly defeated Shenzhen University, represented by Sun Yingsha and Kuai Man, with a score of 3-2, securing the championship. With "three women making a drama," the girls' finals often generate more topics, and two controversial incidents occurred. The first incident involved Sun Yingsha questioning whether her ball had touched the edge during her match against Qian Tianyi from the national team, as she heard a sound. However, Qian Tianyi denied it, and the referee did not allow a replay review, directly awarding the point to Qian Tianyi. This incident caused a huge uproar, as Sun Yingsha has many fans, and most of those criticizing online are female,…
