In the sports world, especially in the field of table tennis, recent developments have attracted widespread attention and heated discussion among fans. The withdrawal of Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng from the WTT world rankings, as well as their potential difficulty in returning to international competitions, has caused great concern among many fans. As the poem by Xin Qiji says, "Having accomplished the king's affairs under heaven, winning fame before and after life. Alas, white hair appears!" It is truly regrettable that these outstanding athletes face such a situation at the peak of their careers. As this incident continues to ferment, Liu Guoliang has been pushed to the forefront of public opinion, and the vacancy of the director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center seems to have become a new focus. This position carries special significance, with administrative rank, which fundamentally differs from Liu Guoliang's current status as the head of the Ping Pong Association, a civilian organization. In this context, fans naturally began to expect the emergence of someone who could change the current situation of the national table tennis team. The legendary figure Wang Tao has entered the fans' field of vision. Wang Tao has written a glorious chapter in the history of the national table tennis team, winning nine world championship titles. His coaching abilities are also remarkable, and Fan Zhendong is one of his outstanding disciples he personally cultivated. Considering the level, he was once a lieutenant general, and this identity seems to give him a certain advantage in meeting the requirements for…

Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin's names are always closely linked in the hearts of fans. Sun Yingsha refers to Wang Chuqin as a trusted partner and close friend, but rumors of their romance continue to circulate, with fans speculating wildly at every new clue. Recently, Wang Chuqin's visit to the Universal Studios theme park has become a hot topic among fans. Following this, Sun Yingsha changed her phone case to a limited-edition panda design from Universal Studios, a detail that was keenly observed by many fans who speculated that it might be a couple's item gifted by Wang Chuqin. As these rumors escalated, Sun Yingsha chose to change her phone case directly, seemingly using this action to express her stance. Shortly after, Wang Chuqin appeared at an annual award ceremony on a social media platform, dressed in attire worth over a million yuan, once again becoming the focus of public discussion. However, surprisingly, just before the award ceremony, there was a drastic change in Wang Chuqin's social media follow list, which shrank from over 180 people to only 18, almost all male teammates and coaches from the national table tennis team. Wang Chuqin unfollowed Sun Yingsha, leading fans to speculate about changes in their relationship. What is the truth behind this? Firstly, considering the individuals unfollowed, Wang Chuqin not only unfollowed all his female national table tennis teammates but also included actresses and well-known figures in the table tennis field he previously followed. Therefore, it is difficult to interpret this behavior simply as "unfollowing Sun Yingsha to dispel romance rumors."…

Lin Gaoyuan: Love and Responsibility, the Tender Years of a Ping Pong Warrior Hey, fellow table tennis enthusiasts, today we're going to talk about a heartwarming story involving a familiar face in the world of ping pong—Lin Gaoyuan. In 2025, this tough competitor on the court faced a major upheaval in his life—his father passed away due to illness, leaving him with a complex mix of emotions and immense sorrow. Lin Gaoyuan is a shining star in our table tennis scene. Known for his sharp playing style and comprehensive skills, he never fails to surprise the audience during matches. Who would have thought that such a formidable player on the court is actually a filial young man behind the scenes? His father has always been his pillar of strength. Throughout his upbringing, the elder man went to great lengths to support Lin Gaoyuan's dreams of becoming a professional table tennis player. Now, with his father's sudden passing, Lin Gaoyuan feels an indescribable sense of loss. In light of these circumstances, Lin Gaoyuan made a decision that surprised many—he gave up the opportunity to participate in the Singapore Grand Slam and did not return to the national team's training camp in Hainan. Instead, he chose to stay at the Guangzhou Ersha Training Base in Guangdong to train with the provincial team. Why? As he put it, he wanted to spend more time with his mother. With his father gone, his mother is undoubtedly the one who suffers the most. Lin Gaoyuan doesn't want her to feel lonely or helpless. This filial…

Liu Guoliang Breaks Silence! Directly Responds to "Dismissal" Rumors, Admits National Table Tennis Team Will Have a "Big Move"‌ By Editor Mai Mai "I firmly believe that Liu Guoliang has been dismissed." On December 24th, well-known sports media personality He Xiaolong publicly posted targeted comments on social media. He didn't forget to add, "This is just my personal judgment." The target of his remarks was none other than the "head of national table tennis" - Liu Guoliang. He Xiaolong usually likes to make some guiding remarks, which can be said to have "stolen the show." It's more like "riding the wave and grabbing attention" rather than expressing an opinion. This time, he once again provoked controversy, quite smug about it. In response, Liu Guoliang no longer remained silent but directly responded to the rumors of his dismissal, admitting that the national table tennis team would make a "big move." The previously smug He Xiaolong also suffered a "slap in the face"! "Bombarding" Liu Guoliang As the "head of national table tennis," Liu Guoliang led the national table tennis team to win numerous honors and medals. Currently, under Liu Guoliang's leadership, the national table tennis team is developing with great momentum. At the recent Paris conference, Liu Guoliang once again led the national table tennis players to compete in Paris, sweeping five gold medals. The national table tennis players are also very popular, gaining countless fans with their strength and personal charm, enjoying endless glory. However, behind the glory, they are deeply embroiled in various negative rumors. Not long ago, well-known…

In the sport of table tennis, which is hailed as the national game, every athlete, coach, and manager carries the hopes and dreams of countless people. In today's table tennis world, there is one name that seems to be closely linked with these expectations and dreams - Liu Guoliang, Chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association and First Vice President of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). Recently, Liu Guoliang has been facing a difficult period in his career. As the Chairman of WTT (World Table Tennis Corporation), his every move is closely watched. However, some new policies introduced by WTT have not entirely won the favor of athletes and fans. These policies have sparked controversy and subjected Liu Guoliang to criticism from some fans. At the same time, the General Administration of Sport is vigorously rectifying fan culture, and as a top performer in the sports world, the national table tennis team has naturally been drawn into this. In this process, Liu Guoliang unexpectedly became the focus of some public opinion, being pointed out as the "mastermind" behind the proliferation of fan culture. This undoubtedly added immense pressure on him and made him a focal figure in the storm of the table tennis world. However, when we delve deeper into Liu Guoliang's contributions to the table tennis arena, we find that these criticisms are not enough to overshadow his remarkable achievements. Since Liu Guoliang took office as the First Vice President of the ITTF, he has achieved significant success in promoting table tennis. He has not only worked to…

On January 17, 2025, the WTT regular table tennis tournament in Muscat continued. In the women's singles final, two national team players faced each other in an internal battle. The result was Shi Xunyao sweeping Kuai Man 4-0, becoming the second singles champion of the new season for the national team. She proved herself capable with her performance. The women's singles final featured a national team derby between Shi Xunyao, born in 2001, and Kuai Man, born in 2004, competing for the championship. First, we must acknowledge the performance of both players. They have completed the task of not losing any external matches and managed to meet in the final, securing both the championship and runner-up positions. During the Doha Star Match, the two had previously faced each other, with Kuai Man defeating Shi Xunyao, leaving a deep impression on many fans. In terms of competitive level, Kuai Man is slightly superior. Kuai Man is one of the outstanding young players of the national team, holding a world championship title in the team event and ranked 18th in the world in women's singles. At the previous station, she swept Japanese star Miharu Kihara to become the first singles champion of the new year. Shi Xunyao, on the other hand, excels in mixed doubles. In her first partnership with Huang Youzheng, they took second place, and this station saw them back-to-back into the final. Unfortunately, they lost to the Spanish pair of Robles/Xiao Yaoqi and were unable to reach the top. It is worth noting that Kuai Man and Chen Yi…

Zhang Yining, once known as the "Great Demon King" of table tennis, captivated countless fans with her fierce playing style and superior skills. However, in recent years, she has found herself embroiled in a whirlpool of public opinion. Many fans hold the view that after marrying into a wealthy family, Zhang Yining gradually withdrew from the public eye and no longer seemed to exert the same level of effort in promoting table tennis as before. This perspective is not entirely baseless; compared to Wang Nan's active presence in the public sphere, Zhang Yining appeared to lead a more secluded life. "Words can be fearsome," and sometimes public opinion can make a one-sided judgment on someone without a deep understanding of the situation. But is this really the case? Recently, a series of events involving Zhang Yining shed light on this misunderstood aspect of her life. The voice of her black apprentice, Jeffrey Roy, provided strong evidence to the contrary. It turns out that Zhang Yining has been quietly contributing to the cause of table tennis abroad. During her tenure as a coach at the China Table Tennis College Papua New Guinea Training Center, she met Jeffrey Roy. Zhang Yining treated this apprentice with great dedication, not only imparting professional skills and tactics but also generously providing equipment for playing. Under her meticulous guidance, Roy's technical and tactical levels soared. At the South Pacific Games, Roy shone brightly, winning silver medals in two events, which undoubtedly stands as the best testament to Zhang Yining's teaching achievements. Subsequently, Zhang Yining's appearance in…

On January 17th, the national table tennis team officially announced the Asian Cup entry list. For the collective absence of three Olympic champions Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng, Wang Hao dared not respond to such a sensitive topic, but Ma Lin showed great sincerity and responsibility. Ma Lin clearly responded that the reason why Chen Meng did not participate in this Asian Cup is mainly two points: first, Chen Meng has withdrawn from the world ranking system; secondly, the team communicated with her, and she will not participate in international competitions for the time being. It can be seen that Ma Lin still communicated with her after knowing that Chen Meng withdrew from the world rankings, and thus got the response that Chen Meng would not participate in the competition, which can be considered as benevolent and righteous, and everything that should be done has been done. Compared with Wang Hao's reluctance to respond to sensitive issues in table tennis, Ma Lin, who has always had a bad reputation, appeared very honest this time, which also changed the outside world's view of him. However, objectively speaking, Chen Meng's problem and Fan Zhendong's incident are not comparable because Chen Meng's age and state are no longer advantageous. Her withdrawal from international events during the world ranking incident is also a good choice. After all, if Chen Meng insists on competing with Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu for the Grand Slam, it is very likely that she will lose badly. Although Chen Meng is only one step away from the…

Both players participated in last week's Doha Star Match, where Harimoto won the men's singles championship and advanced to the finals in both consecutive matches, with both the men's doubles and singles reaching the finals. Harimoto had a tough first round, narrowly defeating Iran's Shams, followed by another close victory over Ma Jinbao in the second round. He also struggled to defeat Huang Youzheng in the quarterfinals before sealing Huang Zhentian in the semifinals. Chen Yuanyu, on the other hand, successively defeated Apollonia, Ocholov, Manash Sha, and Guo Guanhong. This time, Chen Yuanyu played very steadily, demonstrating excellent technical ability, which greatly contributed to his reaching the final, bringing him significant gains. The match began with Chen Yuanyu quickly taking the initiative, repeatedly smashing straight into Harimoto's forehand position to lead 4-1. He attacked proactively, but then made consecutive errors, allowing Harimoto to catch up to 5-5.…
