The Xinhua News Agency has announced the list of international top ten athletes, but unfortunately, Chen Meng did not make it onto the list. This outcome has left many fans feeling disappointed and with a sense of emptiness.
Initially, everyone thought that based on her impressive performance at the Tokyo Olympics, she would undoubtedly secure a spot on the list. However, reality dealt a harsh blow, leaving people with a sense of regret rather than surprise.
Chen Meng has been steadily rising in the world of table tennis since the end of the 2016 Rio Olympics. By the time of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she shone like a bright star, winning the women's singles gold medal and becoming an Olympic champion.
At that time, she confidently declared, "I have entered an era that belongs solely to me!" It was as if she was announcing to the world the beginning of her unique era, filled with aspirations for the future and pride in her new stage.
Even the renowned table tennis master Liu Guoliang has said that during the Paris Olympics cycle, Chen Meng will continue to firmly occupy the main position in women's table tennis, shining like a star in the sky of women's table tennis.
This raises a puzzling question: why didn't Chen Meng make it onto the list when everyone thought she should? It's hard to understand.
Some might say that Chen Meng's recent performance is like an unstable boat, wavering. Especially in the past two years, her state has been fluctuating greatly on the competition stage. For example, when facing Sun Yingsha, she always seems to fall just short, causing people to feel sorry for her.
Moreover, she has also engaged in fierce competition with Wang Manyu, like two brave warriors fighting for the crucial qualification for the Paris Olympics women's singles, hoping to stand out in this "battle."
For top athletes like Chen Meng, such challenges are inevitable on their path to growth. No one can avoid them; they can only face them head-on.
During this year's Saudi Grand Slam, Wang Manyu was unfortunately eliminated in the second round and had to withdraw. Meanwhile, Chen Meng, without wasting a moment, fought fiercely and defeated Sun Yingsha, winning the women's singles championship. She surpassed Wang Manyu and smoothly secured the women's singles qualification for the Paris Olympics.
At that moment, Chen Meng displayed her unwavering determination and super resilience like an indomitable warrior. Don't underestimate her; the momentum she showed is truly remarkable, making people look at her with new respect.
After stepping into the gates of the Paris Olympics, Chen Meng became an existence with the halo of a defending champion! Carrying the glory of her previous victory back to this arena, she is highly anticipated to continue her brilliance.
She fearlessly fought through the competition like a brave warrior and successfully advanced to the finals. Coincidentally, her opponent in the finals was Sun Yingsha again, setting the stage for another intense battle with her old rival.
You know, when two people engage in a contest, it's not just about competing in skills; it's more about a psychological tug-of-war. It's as if their hearts are secretly competing to see who can come out on top in this invisible "battle."
Look! Chen Meng is incredibly amazing! After a fierce competition, she successfully turned the tide and defended her title. Now, she has become the third Chinese female table tennis player after Deng Yaping and Zhang Yining to defend her Olympic singles title, which we are truly proud of!
Achieving this result is incredibly difficult! It's like climbing a towering mountain, stumbling along the way and overcoming numerous obstacles before finally reaching this point. It took a lot of effort, oh my, it's really not easy!
There is an athlete whose achievements are so brilliant, shining like a star. But who would have thought that in the selection of the international top ten athletes, she would be left out. Once this happened, it felt like something was missing, empty and regretful.
Everyone knows that the contributions and achievements made by Chen Meng are absolutely undeniable. Especially her strong ability to withstand pressure and her never-give-up spirit are truly admirable. She shines like a star, emitting a light that commands respect.
In that list, she couldn't even get a seat. Why is this? What reasons are hidden behind it? Hmph, it really makes people want to investigate.
Is it just because other athletes performed better, or are there other considerations? My heart is full of doubts, really can't understand what's going on, just hope to have a clear explanation, can't let people guess blindly.
Netizens have spoken up, in their view, Chen Meng should definitely be selected. They believe that Chen Meng has the strength and qualifications to be selected, so they are all supporting Chen Meng, thinking that her selection is a matter of course.
One netizen couldn't help but say, "Look at Chen Meng's career, she successfully defended the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, and then performed outstandingly in the qualification competition for the Paris Olympics. Achieving such excellent results, how could she not be selected? She must be selected!"
Hmph, this is too unfair! Why is it like this, my heart really feels wronged, it clearly shouldn't be like this, but reality is so unacceptable, it's really angry, I really hope there will be changes, so that everything can become reasonable and fair, anyway, now I feel it's extremely unfair!
This statement is indeed not groundless. After careful consideration, it does seem reasonable, as if it carries an unquestionable persuasiveness, making people nod in agreement and have to admit that what it says is quite reliable.
Chen Meng, she is like a tough pine tree, always stable in performance. Even with strong opponents around and heavy competitive pressure like a heavy stone, she is unafraid and has repeatedly held firm under pressure, defeating those formidable opponents. She is really amazing!
Chen Meng's achievements are truly remarkable, shining brightly on the court and achieving many eye-catching results. However, in terms of influence, she still has certain limitations, like a brilliant star whose light hasn't yet reached far and wide.
This viewpoint is indeed calm, but it's not that it can't be understood. It's as if it naturally carries that rational aura, making people feel a bit too stable at first listen, but after careful consideration, it can also understand its reason.
You know, the selection of the international top ten athletes is not simple! It's not just about looking at results, personal fame and influence must also be considered, especially that kind of influence that can cross national borders. These aspects must be looked at comprehensively to select truly qualified international top ten athletes.
Some netizens think that the achievements made by Chen Meng are not small. However, her state is like a roller coaster, always ups and downs. Sometimes her performance is so strong that it seems invincible; but sometimes it appears a bit unstable. Perhaps it is this unstable state that has affected her ranking.
Look at her performance, sometimes it really can make people shine, can't help but admire her. But it's just that, always feel a little short of fire, because of this, want to let everyone completely convinced of her, it's really not easy.
This netizen speaks very reasonably! We must know that for athletes, it's not just about results. The state they display on the court and the stability of their performance are important factors that cannot be overlooked during the selection process, and they must be carefully considered.
Despite encountering many situations, Chen Meng remains like a shining gem in the world of Chinese table tennis, always radiating her own brilliant light, shining steadily in this field, and no one can ignore her dazzling and unique presence like a gem.
She is not just an athlete standing at the top. In the eyes of all athletes, she is that shining example, inspiring everyone to keep striving; and for the vast number of fans, she is like a hero, the person they most admire and love.
In her heart, the clear goal for the future is undoubtedly to strive for the grand slam of table tennis! It's as if there is a splendid trophy waiting for her to capture ahead, and she is wholeheartedly determined to achieve the remarkable feat of the grand slam in the world of table tennis.
She is just one World Table Tennis Championship title away from achieving the grand slam glory! That grand slam is like a brilliant star within reach, and this World Table Tennis Championship title is the last step of the ladder for her to reach the stars. As long as she takes this step, she can embrace that brilliantly shining grand slam.
By 2025, the World Table Tennis Championships will be held in Doha! Chen Meng has long regarded this event as a must-win, hoping to realize her long-cherished dream of the grand slam in what may be her last chance, feeling that she has already made great efforts and is ready to show off her skills on the court!
In this selection of international top ten athletes, Chen Meng ultimately missed out regrettably. However, we mustn't underestimate her. Her superb strength and full fighting spirit, like shining stars, are still widely recognized by everyone. She is still awesome!
No matter what, the future Chen Meng is determined to go all out! She knows that moving forward is not just for herself to achieve her dreams, but also for the lovely fans who have always supported her behind her back. She must not disappoint their expectations.
