In the hustle and bustle of the sports world, the hot topic on the 27th was undoubtedly the decision of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng to withdraw from the international rankings. The online public opinion is almost unanimous, with everyone standing by Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, believing that they are just bravely standing up against the unfair rules of WTT. In the hearts of fans, they have done nothing wrong; instead, they are fighting for their own rights. This decision by Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng is undoubtedly a challenge to the WTT rules, which will result in their points being reset. Moreover, since Liu Guoliang, the head of the national table tennis team, is the main driver of WTT, it means that the future possibility of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng representing the national team in competitions is almost zero. In other words, they bid farewell to the national team stage in this way. From their statements, Fan Zhendong still wants to continue to represent Shanghai in the National Games, while whether Chen Meng will participate in the National Games remains uncertain. However, if they want to step onto the international arena again, they have basically no chance. While netizens are voicing their support for the two, they are also actively offering suggestions. Among them, a netizen named "Pea Cannon" proposed an ingenious suggestion. He strongly recommended that Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng join the Hong Kong or Macau teams and provided five reasons that sound quite reasonable. Firstly, Hong Kong or Macau can only be considered as…

Liu Guoliang's Dismissal Rumors: What's Really Going On? In the world of table tennis, there is a name that no one dares to overlook - Liu Guoliang. This name represents not just an athlete, but also the top leader of Chinese table tennis. Indeed, it is he who has transformed from a prodigy to a table tennis legend and now stands as the helmsman of the Chinese national team. Liu Guoliang's life is like a grand drama, filled with ups and downs, shocks, and climaxes. Recently, rumors about Liu Guoliang's dismissal have suddenly become a hot topic, leaving everyone curious as to how this iron-blooded coach, who once led the Chinese table tennis team to dominate the world, has been thrust into the limelight. The story begins with a well-known journalist, He Xiaolong. He Xiaolong recently stated publicly that Liu Guoliang has not managed the Chinese table tennis team well, especially in his failure to effectively curb the phenomenon of fan culture within the team. To put it bluntly, the fervent pursuit of fans has begun to affect the training and competitions of the athletes, and some extreme behaviors have started to disrupt the normal order of the team. Can you imagine? Originally focused on practicing table tennis, these players have turned into star idols, constantly surrounded by fans, which naturally raises concerns about its potential impact on their performance. He Xiaolong further mentioned that Liu Guoliang frequently allows team members to participate in entertainment programs, a practice that has caused many problems, with some people openly criticizing Liu Guoliang…

At the end of 2024, the Chinese sports world was not calm. A name, Liu Guoliang, carrying the glory and controversy of the national table tennis team, was pushed to the forefront of public attention. The rumors of "Liu Guoliang being fired" spread rapidly on the Internet like ripples, triggering heated discussions among fans and media. Looking back at Liu Guoliang's table tennis career, it can be called legendary. From being a "Grand Slam" winner in his player days to leading the national table tennis team to win gold and silver as a coach, and then taking charge of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, he has almost witnessed and participated in every glorious moment of the national table tennis team. However, in recent years, the "fan culture" that has emerged within the national table tennis team has become a shadow that cannot be dispelled during his tenure. Renowned journalist He Xiaolong took the lead in throwing out the "bomb." He posted several updates on social media platforms, directly stating that Liu Guoliang had been fired. He Xiaolong's argument was that the Chinese Table Tennis Association responded slowly and lacked action in the General Administration of Sport's campaign to rectify "fan culture," which he saw as a sign of "headless leadership." He even pointed the finger at Liu Guoliang for the "fan culture" within the national table tennis team, believing that his market-oriented strategy led to this chaos. He Xiaolong's remarks quickly ignited the public discourse. Fans speculated whether this meritorious leader of table tennis would really leave? For a time,…

Translation of the content: Recently, the decisions made by two major figures in the table tennis world, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, have undoubtedly dropped two重磅bombs on the calm waters, sparking extensive discussions and speculations. Fan Zhendong, the leader of the national table tennis team, has always been the pillar of strength in the hearts of fans. In the first stage of the recent Super League, Fan Zhendong displayed an excellent state, both in attack and defense, showing great ease. This performance filled fans with anticipation for his return to the international arena. However, when the list for the WTT Singapore Grand Slam was announced, Fan Zhendong's name was conspicuously absent, pouring cold water on the fans' expectations. Subsequently, Fan Zhendong posted a shocking message on social media. He announced that due to the new regulations issued by the WTT stipulating fines for missing matches, and being unable to bear such financial pressure personally, he decided to withdraw from the world rankings and WTT competitions. This decision caught fans off guard and sent shockwaves throughout the table tennis world. After all, Fan Zhendong's withdrawal means that the national team has lost an important scoring point in men's singles. Looking back at Fan Zhendong's career, he has consistently maintained a high competitive level, achieving remarkable results in both domestic and international competitions. However, with the introduction of new WTT regulations, Fan Zhendong faces unprecedented challenges. It is understood that if Fan Zhendong chooses to continue participating, he may need to pay high fines. For an athlete, this is undoubtedly a heavy…

Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the world rankings has caused a stir in the table tennis community, making headlines and sparking discussions. It's a significant event, as he is considered a pillar of our national table tennis team, and his decision not to compete is unexpected. This decision by Fan Zhendong to step down from the world rankings has created waves within the table tennis world. With his departure, it seems increasingly unlikely that we will see him compete in international events in the future. It's ironic that despite being a world champion, Fan Zhendong had to make this choice due to certain rule restrictions. This is somewhat regrettable, considering he is in his prime with top-notch skills and abilities. Fan Zhendong's dominance on the international stage is undeniable, even Japan's Tomokazu Harimoto openly admitted to not being able to defeat him. Such candid statements in front of the media demonstrate the immense pressure Fan Zhendong exerts on his opponents. In the current Super League, Fan Zhendong is like a stabilizing force, causing even well-performing players like Koki Niwa to struggle against him. This clear gap in strength reflects his true dominance. On the international stage, Fan Zhendong was a formidable presence that intimidated many foreign association players. His sudden withdrawal is indeed a significant blow to our national team, especially with Ma Long also gradually retiring. We are now without our two mainstays. Ultimately, Fan Zhendong's withdrawal is closely tied to the rules set by the WTT, which can be quite inhumane for athletes, particularly young players with limited savings,…

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced a permanent ban on the Swedish female journalist who collided with Wang Chuqin, a decision that has been widely welcomed by sports enthusiasts. This incident, which occurred during the 2023 international table tennis competition, has finally reached a satisfying conclusion. The incident began after a match when Wang Chuqin was preparing for an interview. Unexpectedly, a Swedish female journalist suddenly rushed towards him, causing a collision that nearly resulted in our world champion falling to the ground. Fortunately, Wang Chuqin reacted quickly and skillfully dodged the unexpected attack. This behavior of the female journalist is not a romantic comedy but a serious issue of professional ethics. The incident sparked intense online discussions, with some suggesting it was intentional, while others believed it was merely an accident without malice. A netizen expressed their opinion, stating that the journalist's actions were challenging the bottom line of sportsmanship. As a professional journalist, she should respect athletes and follow interview protocols. Instead, she acted recklessly, almost knocking down our world champion. This is not interviewing but causing trouble! It seems she wanted to attract attention and become famous at any cost. Such irresponsible behavior not only harms the media's image but also tarnishes the reputation of other hardworking journalists. The IOC's decisive action is commendable. The female journalist's behavior was truly outrageous. Why run so fast if you're here to interview and not participate in a car race? Do you fear Wang Chuqin will fly away? Or do you think you're filming an episode of a journalist…

Do you remember that night when the Japanese team could only "look at the ocean with longing"? On the WTT court, when the "Sha Tou combination" once again raised the championship trophy, everyone saw the truth: this pair of partners has long been more than just simple teammates! Let's rewind time back to 2017. At that time, Wang Chuqin was still a round-faced teenager, and Sun Yingsha was also a little girl with a ponytail. On the field of the Asian Youth Championship, who would have thought that the encounter of these two "greenhorns" would be the beginning of a legend? The name "Sha Tou combination" sounds amusing, but behind it lies a carefully designed tactical match. Just like the ingredients in a spicy hot pot, Sun Yingsha is the agile Sichuan pepper, occasionally giving opponents a "numbing" feeling; while Wang Chuqin is the solid pot bottom, steadily supporting all changes. The tacit understanding on the field is really breathtaking. Often, as soon as Sun Yingsha turns her eyes, Wang Chuqin has already accurately predicted which angle she wants to hit. This level of tacit understanding is simply more in tune than an old married couple who have been together for many years! Interestingly, the interaction off the field makes the teammates collectively "break through". Wang Chuqin often jokingly says, "Now I can read the expressions on Sha Sha's face very accurately, wherever she wants to hit, I will hit." This is exactly what a "wife-controlled strict" looks like! And Sun Yingsha, although she often complains about this "big head,"…

At the turn of the year, a storm swept through the domestic table tennis world. Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng stood up to challenge the unfair terms in the WTT competitions, much like heroes who rallied the masses in the historical torrent, stirring up widespread resonance and support from renowned players at home and abroad. They fought side by side, vowing to fight for fairness and justice in the table tennis world, ready to forge ahead even if the path ahead was thorny. In response to the severe inquiries from CCTV and major media outlets, the WTT World Table Tennis Association released a detailed statement attempting to clear up misunderstandings. It claimed that the measure of imposing fines for non-participation was not newly introduced but based on a system meticulously designed by a professional team. It also emphasized that the prize money for 2025 would increase by 20%, suggesting that Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's protests might stem from misinterpretation. However, Fan Zhendong did not choose to let the matter rest. He held firm to his stance, continuing to wield his pen as a sword to expose the truth behind WTT, candidly stating that he only recently learned of this rule and felt indignant and puzzled about the clause that imposed fines for non-participation. In this war without gunpowder, the confrontation between the WTT World Table Tennis Association and Fan Zhendong subtly involved Liu Guoliang as the mastermind behind the scenes. Although Liu Guoliang remained behind the scenes, he was known to all as the actual leader of the WTT…

Table Tennis Upheaval: Ping Pong Association Chairman Forced to Close Comment Section as Fans Continue to Press Recently, two heavyweight figures in the Chinese table tennis world, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, announced their withdrawal from the WTT world rankings, causing a sensation. This move not only surprised fans but also sparked intense discussions online. The situation escalated when WTT announced fines of $5000 each for the two athletes. What triggered this withdrawal? Why did two Olympic champions at the peak of their careers choose to exit the world rankings that symbolize honor and status? The official explanation was "physical exhaustion and an unbearable burden." Indeed, high-intensity training and competitions keep athletes' bodies in a state of overwork, with injuries and mental stress constantly looming. Fan Zhendong's response was intriguing: "I am truly unable to bear it but still respect the international organization," revealing helplessness and dissatisfaction between the lines. Fans have mixed reactions. Some express understanding and support, believing that athletes' health is more important than rankings; others question their decision, arguing that as national team members, they should prioritize collective interests. Many netizens are strongly dissatisfied with WTT's fine decision, considering it a secondary harm to the athletes. Known as "East Wind Express," Fan Zhendong is famous for his fierce forehand attacks and is a core member of the men's national team. He has won titles such as the World Table Tennis Championships Men's Singles and the World Cup Men's Singles. Concerns arise that this withdrawal might affect his eligibility for major events or even end his career.…
