Xinhua News Agency announced the list of the top ten domestic athletes for 2024, and as a fan who has been watching table tennis for over thirty years, I am filled with mixed emotions. Wang Chuqin, the leader of the new generation, was unexpectedly left out, which made me think deeply about the reasons behind it. Let's talk about Wang Chuqin's performance this year. At the Paris Olympics, he and Sun Yingsha partnered to win the mixed doubles gold medal, creating history for the Chinese table tennis team. This gold medal is not light in weight; it fills the gap in the Olympic mixed doubles event for the national team. Their默契配合 on the court and their fighting spirit made us old fans' blood boil. He also contributed significantly to the national team's successful defense of the title in the team event. Unfortunately, in the men's singles competition, Wang Chuqin failed to maintain his previous good form and was eliminated in the knockout stage, which is indeed a great pity. Men's singles has always been the most important event in the international table tennis arena, with particularly high value. This setback undoubtedly affected his selection results. I noticed that Wang Chuqin's popularity has been skyrocketing. A few days ago at the Shanghai airport, he was surrounded by a large number of fans. Even though he was fully equipped, he was still recognized by sharp-eyed fans. Seeing him surrounded like that, I couldn't help but say, we should pay more attention to his matches! Ma Long was able to be selected into…

Title: "Ma Junren, the 'Scandal of the Sports World': Forcing Teammates to Undergo Appendectomies and Administering Banned Substances" Content: He was once a legendary coach in the track and field team, personally cultivating the "Ma Family Army" that broke world records multiple times. Even Wang Junxia, the track and field star known as the "Oriental Gazelle," was once his disciple. However, with the publication of Zhao Yu's book "Investigation of the Ma Family Army," it exposed so many of his unspeakable deeds! Ma Junren personally injected and administered banned substances to the athletes, deeply embroiled in the "doping" scandal. To ensure normal training, he forced the athletes to undergo collective appendectomies. Some athletes even developed liver disease due to his actions. What is behind all this? Is it hiding an untold secret, or is it just for his own selfish desires? Growing through Adversity to Achieve Success Because his athletes repeatedly broke world records and brought glory to the country, creating many miracles, Ma Junren was once hailed as a "national hero." Although he was famous and had unlimited风光, his journey was filled with twists and turns. Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, while others are destined to be poor from birth, and Ma Junren is the latter. Born into poverty, it was often difficult for his parents to support several children going to school. However, Ma Junren's intelligence shone among his siblings, allowing him to attend school. But his grades were not outstanding, which meant that after graduation, he might continue to live in…

The highly anticipated Australian Open tennis tournament is about to begin, and last year's women's singles champion and runner-up, Sabalenka and Zheng Qinwen, have been placed in the same quarter of the draw. This means that the two could potentially meet in the quarterfinals of this year's Australian Open. On January 10th, Beijing time, Chinese player Zheng Qinwen, who is currently preparing for the tournament, responded to the topic of being in the same quarter as her "nemesis" Sabalenka during an interview. Zheng Qinwen confidently stated that she hopes to face her opponent, emphasizing that becoming a champion requires defeating everyone. When answering this question, Zheng Qinwen maintained her usual humorous style: "Isn't it normal for me to encounter her every time I reach the top 8? Because I believe that to become a champion, you need to defeat all opponents. I think this is something I must overcome on my path to becoming a champion." "I hope to meet her, rather than winning the championship without defeating her, because I personally love challenges. I believe it's precisely because of these opponents that my daily training is filled with motivation." Currently, Zheng Qinwen has lost all five encounters against the world No. 1 ranked Sabalenka, only managing to win one set. Especially last year, Zheng Qinwen faced Sabalenka four times at the Australian Open, US Open, Wuhan Open, and the year-end finals, failing to secure a victory each time. It can be said that Sabalenka has become the formidable obstacle that Zheng Qinwen must overcome to achieve success. We also…

The Chinese table tennis team is currently participating in the Doha Star Challenge, where many young players have been given opportunities to compete.

The young Chinese players are known for their abilities and qualities, and it is believed that they will achieve success. Among the young players of the Chinese table tennis team, there is a particular focus on 18-year-old prodigy Zong Ge Man. As a talented girl, she has received numerous competition opportunities in the new Olympic cycle. It is also hoped that Zong Ge Man can showcase her best form in this competition, especially in the women's singles event, where she has experienced a significant breakthrough. In the women's singles competition, Zong Ge Man delivered an impressive performance, defeating Natalia Bajor 3-1 with scores of 11-7, 8-11, 11-7, 11-7. Fans were delighted to see the 18-year-old prodigy defeat her opponent with a 3:1 scoreline, demonstrating her powerful offensive capabilities. With such fiery form, there is speculation about whether she might seek revenge against Hina Hayata and challenge for the championship.

Zong Ge Man had previously suffered a crushing 0:11 defeat at the hands of Hina Hayata, which drew much controversy from fans. However, it now appears that Zong Ge Man has gradually found her rhythm, and there is hope…

Fu Hao, the newly crowned 6 million top salary player of Liaoning team, has been performing poorly in the new season. Not only has his accurate mid-to-long-range shooting from last season disappeared, but even his signature hook shots and layups have lost their accuracy, resulting in multiple embarrassing situations where he missed uncontested baskets. As a result, Fu Hao has faced ridicule and doubts from many fans, such as not deserving the top salary, becoming unable to play after receiving it, and dragging down Liaoning team with his poor form. So, what exactly is the problem with Fu Hao? Is it a decline in ability or lack of effort? In fact, neither is the case; the real reason is something else. The main reason for Fu Hao's poor performance this season is his mental state. Fans familiar with Fu Hao know that he trains hard and is disciplined, with no complaints about his attitude towards playing. However, Fu Hao has a flaw: his psychological quality is not strong enough, meaning he doesn't have a "big heart." Looking at Fu Hao's past games, he often performs well when things are going smoothly, but once his hand feels off, especially if the first two shots don't go in, Fu Hao tends to perform worse and worse. Since Fu Hao received the top salary contract from Liaoning team, the pressure has increased. Especially during the early part of the season when Liaoning team was plagued by injuries and the foreign players were underperforming, the expectations from the team and fans on Fu Hao…

Melbourne Victory has performed well in the 24/25 season A-League, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 0 losses, averaging 2.33 points per game, currently ranking second in the league. Key players such as Francesco Fornaroli, Machach, and Verghese have strong attacking abilities, serving as the backbone of the team's offense. The defensive players are also not to be underestimated, like central defender Max Burgess, who played steadily in defense against Western Sydney Wanderers and even scored a crucial goal from a corner kick. Head coach Patrick Kisnorbo emphasizes defensive counterattacks. In the match against Western Sydney Wanderers, he used a 4-2-3-1 formation, with a dense midfield defense and sharp counterattacks to achieve a comeback. After six matches in the 24-25 season A-League, Western United has 1 win, 2 draws, and 3 losses, accumulating 5 points and ranking 10th in the standings. Forwards Yosuke Kawai and Noah Bothe have some attacking capabilities, but the overall state of the forward line is unstable. Defenders Tate Russell, Kane Widdrington, and Tomoki Iwata have decent defensive abilities, but the overall consistency and stability of the defense need improvement. Coach Mark Rudan values short passing among players, with the team's tactics mainly based on a 4-3-3 formation. They will change formations according to the situation, shifting to a 4-5-1 or 5-4-1 for defense and a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 for offense. Melbourne Victory ranks fourth in the league, with 2 wins, 3…
