In 2024, for Sun Yingsha, it was like a rollercoaster movie filled with laughter, tears, climaxes, and troughs. Let's delve into the story of this 24-year-old girl and see how she writes her own legend in the world of table tennis. In the first half of the year, Sun Yingsha was like a game character on a winning streak. She was invincible on the court, to the point where even Japanese ace Hina Hayata had to admit, "This girl is the number one in the table tennis world right now." Who would have thought that such a promising "Great Demon" would experience such ups and downs in the following competitions? At the Paris Olympics, Sun Yingsha delivered an impressive performance: she won the first-ever mixed doubles gold medal with her partner and helped Team China secure the women's team gold. However, in the women's singles final, she narrowly lost to Chen Meng. This scene echoed the World Championships months earlier, but this time the roles were reversed—Sun Yingsha had previously shattered Chen Meng's Grand Slam dream, and this time, Chen Meng temporarily put Sun Yingsha's Olympic gold medal dream on hold. After the Olympics, Sun Yingsha continued to compete vigorously in the Macau Championship and the Chinese Grand Slam. However, no one is made of iron, and continuous high-intensity matches eventually led to injury concerns. When news of her injury surfaced during the Asian Championship women's team event, fans' hearts sank. Subsequently, we did not see her at the German Championship or the French Championship. Although she returned at the…

At 11:11 am Beijing time on December 27th, Olympic table tennis champion Fan Zhendong announced his decision to withdraw from the world rankings via Weibo, stating that he will not retire. In the latest issue of the world rankings released by the International Table Tennis Federation this week, Fan Zhendong ranked sixth, with five out of eight valid points assigned as zero. Choosing to announce his withdrawal from the world rankings at 11:11 am, Fan Zhendong's deep affection for table tennis is evident in his post. Table tennis is a sport with an 11-point system, reflecting Fan Zhendong's love for the sport. We look forward to seeing Fan Zhendong at the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area National Games and on various other competitive stages. Fan Zhendong mentioned in his post that due to the significant psychological toll from the Paris cycle, aside from confirming participation in the next National Games, there are no specific plans for other competitions. Recently, the WTT introduced a new rule imposing fines for non-participation, which he finds unbearable but still respects the international organization, hence choosing to withdraw from the world rankings. As early as May, Fan Zhendong suggested it might be his last Olympics. Although he stated he would not retire, he has not competed internationally, leaving many fans feeling regretful. At only 27 years old and in peak condition, he could have continued playing for several more years. During the Paris cycle, Fan Zhendong faced considerable pressure, particularly in the Houston World Championships and the Paris Olympics, where he wanted to face opponents…

On December 27th, Beijing time, how regrettable is it that Fan Zhendong has withdrawn from the world rankings? Looking at the statements made by Tomokazu Harimoto and Timo Boll, you can understand the extent of the loss suffered by the Chinese national table tennis team. Fan Zhendong's sudden announcement that he will withdraw from the world rankings will be a huge loss and blow to the Chinese table tennis team, as there is currently no other player within the national team who possesses the same level of terrifying deterrence against foreign associations as Fan Zhendong does. His withdrawal from the world rankings means that he will not be able to participate in almost all international competitions going forward, as he has never played in qualifying rounds throughout his career. This leaves him with only domestic competitions such as the National Championships and National Games to compete in, where we may only see Fan Zhendong engage in internal battles. It might become increasingly difficult to witness him wearing the red of China and triumphing over foreign opponents. In reality, foreigners are extremely afraid of Fan Zhendong, which is evident from the statements made by Tomokazu Harimoto. After achieving success at the Paris Olympics, Harimoto returned home and immediately gave an interview. During this interview, he spoke candidly to Japanese media, saying, "To be honest, I don't think my abilities allow me to compete with Fan Zhendong to a scoreline of 3:4." The implication of Harimoto's words is clear; he sees no need to speak modestly or politely when addressing Japanese media.…

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 stand out 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 that the fan culture of the national table tennis team was led by Liu Guoliang. Liu Guoliang…

In just a couple of hours after Fan Zhendong announced his withdrawal from the world rankings, Chen Meng also publicly declared the same decision. Behind the simultaneous announcements of the Olympic men's singles champion and women's singles champion, who are currently the top-ranked male and female singles players in the table tennis world, not only has there been significant public attention; but the reasons for their withdrawals are strikingly similar — as the "oppressed party," Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong have risen up in rebellion! Accompanying their uprising, the "tyrannical clauses" by which WTT exploits its players have come to light. It is well-known that WTT is actually a commercial format strongly promoted by Liu Guoliang, and the current success of WTT is inseparable from the strong support of the Chinese market and Chinese businesses. In order to build the brand value of WTT, both the WTT officials and Liu Guoliang, who holds multiple positions including Vice Chairman of the International Table Tennis Federation, Chairman of the WTT World Table Tennis Corporation Board, and President of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, must consider maintaining the organizational management stability of the events. They will introduce some policies to encourage athletes to actively participate in competitions, ensuring the brand value of the events, protecting the interests of sponsors, attracting more sponsors to join, and drawing worldwide attention. Starting from the goal of maintaining brand value, it is determined that the high-frequency WTT events require top athletes to have high attendance, which is inseparable from the strong support of the Chinese table tennis…

In the latest issue of the world rankings released by the International Table Tennis Federation this week, Fan Zhendong ranked sixth, with 5 out of 8 valid points being assigned a zero. Choosing to announce his withdrawal from the world rankings at 11:11 AM, Fan Zhendong's love for table tennis runs deep, as evidenced by the profound meaning in his post. Table tennis is a sport played to 11 points, which shows Fan Zhendong's passion for the sport. We look forward to seeing Fan Zhendong at the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area National Games and on various other competitive stages. Fan Zhendong mentioned that due to the significant psychological toll left over from the Paris cycle, aside from confirming participation in the next National Games, there are no specific plans for other competitions. Recently, the WTT introduced a new rule imposing fines for non-participation, which he finds unbearable but still respects the international organization, hence choosing to withdraw from the world rankings for now. As early as May, Fan Zhendong suggested it might be his last Olympics. Although he stated he would not retire, he has not competed internationally, leaving many fans feeling regretful. At just 27 years old and still at the peak of his game, he could easily continue playing for several more years. During the Paris cycle, Fan Zhendong bore considerable pressure, especially…

On December 27th, Fan Zhendong, a grand slam table tennis player, announced his withdrawal from the world rankings of the WTT International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). This news quickly became a hot topic in the sports world, instantly dominating the top search lists on various platforms. This development is a chain reaction triggered by Fan Zhendong's sixth-place ranking in the latest world rankings published by the WTT ITTF. Why has the former table tennis champion fallen to this position? According to the rules, five out of his eight valid points were mercilessly assigned a zero, and the heavy fines resulting from his withdrawal from competitions have put this renowned athlete in a difficult situation. Fan Zhendong later revealed his thoughts on social media, stating that he is unable to bear the stringent fine regulations imposed by the WTT ITTF, leading him to make the difficult decision to withdraw from the world rankings. He has formally submitted his withdrawal report to both his organization and the ITTF, with his words expressing both helplessness and determination. Domestic fans and netizens, upon hearing about this, have almost unanimously supported Fan Zhendong, directing their criticism at the ITTF's fine regulations. The comment sections are filled with heartfelt messages from fans. Some commented, "Fan Zhendong is already a legend in the table tennis world; he doesn't need this ranking to prove himself. The ITTF's actions are simply inappropriate." Others expressed, "Those fine regulations are just making things difficult for athletes. Xiao Pang (Fan Zhendong's nickname), we support you!" Supporters have clear and powerful viewpoints. Firstly,…

In the training hall of the national table tennis women's team, four figures are sweating profusely. They are the four most dazzling golden flowers in today's world table tennis arena - Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, and Wang Yidi. However, this seemingly ordinary training day hides a fierce competition. On the world ranking list, Sun Yingsha still firmly occupies the top spot, but Wang Manyu behind her is eyeing her position. The points gap between the two has narrowed to 1,200 points, like a rivalry between two martial arts masters, ready to spark new sparks at any time. Speaking of Wang Manyu's recent performance, it can be described as "full firepower." She has won one championship after another, including the Frankfurt Station title and the year-end finals gold medal. This girl from the north is like a plum blossom blooming in the cold winter, the colder it gets, the more fragrant it becomes. "Little Sha" Sun Yingsha, although previously plagued by injuries, has recently shown a clear recovery in form. Like a warrior who has reorganized his troops, she has demonstrated strong dominance in the Super League. Her unique playing style still makes opponents wary. On the sidelines of this "twin star" battle, the stories of the other two protagonists are equally intriguing. Chen Xingtong, known as the "stabilizer," recently staged an "undefeated record" in the Super League. No matter how strong the opponent is, she always responds with the most stable state, like a tall and straight pine tree that remains unmoved in any storm. However, Wang Yidi's…

With the approach of the 2025 Asian Table Tennis Championships, the eagerly anticipated list of invited athletes has finally been revealed. The national table tennis team (Guoping) has a total of 12 athletes on the list, including Olympic champions Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, who have not been seen in competition for some time. According to the event schedule, this grand table tennis event will be held passionately in Shenzhen next February, but at this moment, the national table tennis coaching staff is facing an unprecedented selection dilemma. The list has been announced, and the luxurious lineup of the national table tennis team is impressive. On the women's side, three powerful players, Wang Yidi, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu, join forces with Chen Meng, Chen Xintong, and Qian Tianyi to form the six golden flowers. The men's team is also star-studded, with Lin Shidong, Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Lin Gaoyuan ready to compete. However, this is only the invitation list, and the actual participation list still needs to be confirmed by each association before February 17th. This means that the names on the list are not set in stone, and there is still room for adjustment by each association. Looking back at the previous Asian Cup, the selection controversy once put the national table tennis team in an awkward position. According to the rules, each association can only send two individuals or pairs to participate in each event. On the women's side, the 2019 Asian Cup women's singles champion Zhu Yuling and world No. 1…
