In the world of table tennis in 2024, it is undoubtedly Wang Chuqin's year. As the world's top-ranked player, he has experienced countless attention and expectations throughout the year. On the stage of the Paris Olympics, although Wang Chuqin failed to achieve ideal results in the singles event, he won the mixed doubles gold medal with his partner Sun Yingsha and remained undefeated in the team event, which undoubtedly proved his strength. However, the Olympic experience was not smooth sailing. Wang Chuqin unexpectedly stopped at the round of 32 in the singles competition, a result that disappointed many fans. Facing external doubts, Zhang Jike first criticized, believing that "the world's number one can only stop at 32, right? As the top seed, it shouldn't be like this." Over time, Zhang Jike's attitude has changed significantly. When talking about Wang Chuqin's performance at the Olympics, he not only expressed understanding and support for the younger generation of players but also shared similar challenges he had faced using his own experiences as an example. Zhang Jike mentioned, "Wang Chuqin also had a tough time, losing in singles but not losing a single match in mixed doubles and team events, which is not something just anyone can do." He also recalled his experience at the 2016 Rio Olympics and teammate Wang Hao's situation at the 2012 London Olympics, emphasizing that even personal defeats could lead to national honors. This change in attitude is not only recognition of Wang Chuqin as an individual but also reflects the older generation of athletes' expectations and support…

Recently, according to Korean media reports, renowned Korean table tennis player Tian Zhixi announced her withdrawal from the Korean national table tennis team. A short video of her returning to Beijing has also been circulating online, showing a very happy Tian Zhixi loudly declaring to the camera: "I'm home, my beloved Beijing." Of course, this does not mean that Tian Zhixi will completely bid farewell to table tennis. Future Securities Team also pointed out that due to the possibility of Tian Zhixi signing with other teams, it is uncertain whether she will completely say goodbye to table tennis. Sources revealed that Tian Zhixi will return to China for rest next. Speaking of Tian Zhixi, fans who follow table tennis are very familiar with her. Born in Hebei Province in 1992, Tian Zhixi was once a student of the well-known table tennis coach Yin Xiao. Although she has good talent and strength, the competition in domestic table tennis is very fierce, making it very difficult for Tian Zhixi to enter the national team based on her own abilities. Therefore, from a professional perspective, Tian Zhixi ultimately chose to join the Korean team. In January 2011, she became the adopted daughter of her father's Korean friend, passed the naturalization exam, and obtained Korean nationality; in August 2016, Tian Zhixi participated in the Rio Olympics as a member of the Korean team. With solid fundamentals, Tian Zhixi gradually became the top female player in Korean table tennis. However, her main achievements are in mixed doubles and women's doubles, with average results in women's…

Face-off? Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng Forced to Withdraw, Confront Liu Guoliang with a Firm Statement, True Reasons Exposed On December 27th, at 11:11 AM, under the scorching sun, Fan Zhendong, the grand slam winner of the national table tennis team, published a shocking message on social media! WTT has introduced a new rule that fines players for not participating in events! This made the former Olympic champion exclaim "feeling the pressure," and he made a surprising decision - to withdraw from the WTT world rankings. Fan Zhendong may stay away from various WTT events, or even signal the end of his career with the national table tennis team! Not only did this spark an outpouring of reluctance from netizens towards him, but it also pushed the head of the national table tennis team, Liu Guoliang, into the limelight. In his public statement, Fan Zhendong revealed that after winning the Paris Olympics, his plans for his future career were still in a state of confusion, with only the participation in the next National Games being clear, while the rest remained uncertain. The introduction of the WTT's "withdrawal penalty money" rule was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him. He stated that although he was unable to bear the fine, he still respected the decision of the international organization, choosing to withdraw from the ranking system and had officially submitted a report. At the same time, he emphasized that he had not retired, but was temporarily leaving the ranking system. In his article, "It's time to try defying gravity" carries the meaning…

After the top national table tennis players Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng officially announced their withdrawal from the ranking points, it has caused great attention in the table tennis world. Many foreign association veterans have posted messages to bless Fan Zhendong, including German retired veteran Timo Boll, Swedish rising star and Olympic silver medalist Mattias Falck, and renowned player Simon Gauzy! They have a heartfelt affection for Fan Zhendong, with Boll accompanying Fan to watch football matches because he genuinely cares for him and wants him to do what he likes, without being criticized just for attending a match. Falck, who lost to Fan Zhendong, considers Fan to be one of the greatest ever, indeed, without Fan Zhendong, Falck might have won two gold medals this time at the Olympics. And Gauzy wishes Fan Zhendong well, hoping that he can achieve what he desires! So far, only one person from the national table tennis team has spoken out in support of Fan Zhendong's decision, Zhou Qihao, who has been training with him since they were five or six years old, and they probably know each other the longest! Many fans are not only sorry for Fan Zhendong but also particularly heartbroken for Wang Chuqin. The reliable veteran Ma Long is already 36 years old, there are no capable veterans leading the way ahead, and among the young players, apart from Lin Shidong, the others are not yet able to step up!

The list of participants for the 2024 Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup has been announced, drawing wide attention in the table tennis community. This list reflects many changes and new trends in the current world of table tennis. As a brand-new event starting in 2023, the Mixed Team World Cup represents ITTF's active exploration of format reforms. The event combines the previously separate Men's Team World Cup and Women's Team World Cup into one, adopting an innovative 15-game, 8-win system. It requires teams to exert themselves fully in men's and women's singles and mixed doubles events, testing the overall strength of a nation or region while providing viewers with a richer viewing experience. In the inaugural Mixed Team World Cup, although China ultimately lifted the championship trophy, the journey was not without challenges. Teams like Japan and South Korea, with their relatively balanced male and female forces, posed significant difficulties for China. Especially South Korea, which made it all the way to the final and secured the runner-up position, demonstrating strong competitiveness. This sets the stage for the 2024 competition. Replacing them are the new generation of male team leaders represented by Wang Chuqin and Liang Jingkun, as well as the core female team leaders centered around Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu. The inclusion of young players like Lin Shidong and Kuai Man further demonstrates the strategic layout of the national team in looking to the future and cultivating new talent. This change in lineup not only reflects the inevitable trend of generational change within the Chinese table tennis team…

When Sun Yingsha temporarily faded into the background and Chen Meng was absent from the court, a familiar name re-emerged under the spotlight - Wang Manyu. This "Pillar of the Sea" of the national table tennis women's team lived up to expectations, using an impressive series of victories to prove herself: winning the WTT Fukuoka annual finals and putting on a show of "21 consecutive victories" in the mixed team World Cup, without losing a single game! However, just as Wang Manyu was basking in success, a small change caught the attention of fans. On the sidelines of the match, we seemed to see a new face - Sun Xun, the coach. This detail was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples. Speaking of Wang Manyu and her coaches, it's really an "emotional drama." Her earliest partner was Coach Xiao Zhan, at that time Wang Manyu was like an unpolished piece of jade, gradually showing off its dazzling luster under Xiao Zhan's tutelage. That period was like a touching poem written by master and apprentice working together. But, as they say, all good things must come to an end. When Xiao Zhan was reassigned to be the mixed doubles coach, Wang Manyu felt like she had lost her backbone, and her state began to fluctuate. It was then that the young Xu Hui coach entered her life. After more than a year of coordination, the two finally found their rhythm, and Wang Manyu's ball skills also gradually improved. Yet, fate always likes to play jokes on people.…

Who is the "group favorite" in China's table tennis world? It must be Sun Yingsha. With her round face that looks so soft, it gives people an urge to pinch it. In South Korea's table tennis world, there is also such a "group favorite." She has a cute appearance and a very likable personality, and she is the "smiling girl" who won the hearts of many during the recently held Olympics - Shin Yu-bin. She really loves to laugh. She laughs when she wins a match, laughs when her teammates communicate with her, and even laughs when she loses a match. It must be said that Shin Yu-bin has a really good character. With her round face, she also looks soft. Although her facial features are not particularly three-dimensional or delicate, she looks very cute overall. Her smile is not the kind that makes a hundred charms with a single glance; it's more like the warm smile of afternoon sunshine, making people feel very happy and relaxed. No wonder people often say that attitude determines appearance. Under the influence of her good attitude, Shin Yu-bin appears very sunny, giving off a "girl next door" vibe. Fans who like her call her the "Kapibara" of the table tennis world, which is quite an apt metaphor. In real life, Shin Yu-bin fully embodies the term "girl next door." Being cheerful and sunny has become her byword, and her extremely infectious smile has become her trademark. It's no wonder so many people like her. During her free time without training, Shin Yu-bin, like…

In the Chinese national table tennis team, someone has finally taken the initiative to stand up against unfairness! This time, Fan Zhendong expressed his dissatisfaction with the new WTT regulations on the surface, but in reality, he is challenging Liu Guoliang! Unable to bear the new rule of being fined for not participating, Fan Zhendong chose to withdraw from the world rankings without retiring! What does Fan Zhendong's statement mean? It means that domestic competitions should still be played, but international competitions will not be played. Why does Fan Zhendong want to withdraw from the international rankings? WTT is a game of capital, purely using the health of athletes to make money. The schedule is too dense, and there are penalties for not participating. This phenomenon is very unfair to athletes! Why has WTT become a game of capital? Because WTT Chairman Liu Guoliang chose to treat athletes as cattle and horses, under his promotion, the commercial nature of the WTT competition system points are higher than the nine major events, forcing athletes who want to make a name for themselves on the international stage to frequently participate and accept the exploitation of WTT. If Liu Guoliang's only significant move was the reform of WTT, it might not have been enough to make Fan Zhendong decide to quit. However, what really caused Fan Zhendong to gradually take a different path from Liu Guoliang was actually the fan culture of the national table tennis team! Everyone knows very clearly that the fan culture of the national table tennis team was led…
