The 2024 season of the Chinese Super League has concluded. With the start of the new year and no upcoming matches for the main players of the national table tennis team, the team has arranged for a nearly month-long closed training camp in Wanning, Hainan.
The national table tennis team has previously trained in Wanning. At this time of year, the high temperatures there are suitable for training.
Some people have captured the whereabouts of the national table tennis players. From the videos they posted, it appears that not many players arrived in Hainan for training initially, with only Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Liang Jingkun, Lin Shidong, and others visible.
Lin Shidong is from Hainan. As a local player, he naturally returned to train when the national team came to Hainan.
Before the national team arrived in Hainan, they still needed to wear down jackets. After arriving in Hainan, they dressed much more lightly.
Upon landing in Hainan, the national team members took off their thick clothes. Sun Yingsha pushed two pieces of luggage, wearing a dark-colored hoodie. The English on the chest of her clothes is very eye-catching: "super sha," which means "Super Sha." It can be seen that Sha Sha likes this piece of clothing very much. It's unclear whether this is a custom-made item or a gift from a fan.
Wang Manyu still wore quite a few clothes. It seems that Wang Manyu has been more afraid of the cold recently. When others dress lightly, she always wears many layers.
And she remains as low-key as ever. During the final of the Chinese Super League, she had a strong momentum when arguing with the referee. That's not the case now. This is due to her personality.
Lin Shidong pushed two large suitcases with bags on top. He frowned, looking strained. He also wore a hoodie, enjoying the warm weather in Hainan.
Following behind was Liang Jingkun, who took off his coat to reveal his arms. The young man is in good physical condition. Liang won the men's team championship with his teammates in the Chinese Super League and is in a great mood.
Additionally, coaches Li Sun, Ma Lin, and Wang Hao also arrived in Hainan. There was no sign of Qiu Yike, and it's unknown when he will arrive.
National team member Ba Yongbo posted a video on social media. He also went to Hainan for training. However, it seems he went alone. Ba Yongbo specializes in the long pimple rubber playing style, which may not be well-known to many. Xiao Chu became somewhat familiar with him before the Paris Olympics because, as a special playing style, he accompanied Sun Yingsha in training. Although Ba Yongbo is an unknown player, he is after all a boy. Even while conceding points, he managed to win against Sha Sha, making her cry.
Ba Yongbo is also quite happy about this trip to Hainan for training. He also felt the temperature difference between north and south. Starting from boarding the plane, he kept taking off clothes. Upon arriving in Hainan, he took off four pieces of clothing.
The young man is tall and handsome, estimated to charm many girls.
Many other players have not gone to Hainan. Some players have upcoming competitions. The WTT Doha Star Challenge begins on January 6th. Players such as Xiang Peng, Zhou Qihao, Chen Yuanyu, Qian Tianyi, He Zhuojia, Chen Yi, Shi Xunyao, Kuai Man, Xu Yingbin, and Huang Youzheng will participate. Naturally, they have no time to rush to Hainan for training.
Olympic champions Ma Long, Chen Meng, and Fan Zhendong did not go to Hainan either. They have withdrawn from the world rankings and seem to be gradually distancing themselves from the national team.
