Wang Nan presented 3 gold medals to Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, and Ma Long, and Wang Nan and Guo Bin are not short of gold medals. Why didn't Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Fan Zhendong receive any gold medal rewards? In fact, there were three reasons behind this.
Now that Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin have won the Olympic championship and received rewards at the commendation meeting, Sun Yingsha has also won the Best Popularity Award. Ma Long is even more popular, receiving many rewards and having photos taken with experts and fans.
In contrast, people noticed that Wang Nan had previously stated that she would give rewards if she could win a gold medal at the Olympics. At the last Tokyo Olympics, Wang Nan and Guo Bin gave out super luxurious rewards, which everyone clearly remembers as a set of luxurious rewards for each person. Wang Nan's high-level rewards in the Tokyo Olympics made her stand out.
Therefore, at the Paris Olympics, many experts and fans speculated that Wang Nan and Guo Bin would definitely give out big rewards this year. However, it was unexpected that Wang Nan also stated that she would give a 3-kilogram gold medal to the champion athletes. Although this year's reward is somewhat different from the last Tokyo Olympics, after all, a set of luxury housing is quite different from a 1.6-kilogram gold medal.
Regardless, Wang Nan's ability to send such a grand gift is a reflection of her intentions and has been recognized by many. The question is, why did only Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin receive gold medals, and although Ma Long also received a gold medal, why didn't Fan Zhendong, who fought hard and made great contributions to the national table tennis team, receive a gold medal reward?
Additionally, including Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, who established gold medals in the women's team event, why didn't Wang Nan give them gold medal rewards?
The first reason is that Wang Nan did not explicitly say who she would give the gold medals to. Wang Nan gave gold medals to Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, and Ma Long. On one hand, it's because Wang Nan is optimistic about these three athletes. On the other hand, it's also because Wang Nan has her own wishes; she can choose who to give to, and there's no need for others to interfere.
The second reason is that Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin completed the first mixed doubles gold medal competition and won the gold medal in the mixed doubles event at the first Olympic Games in the history of the national table tennis team. Therefore, theoretically speaking, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin have set records and broken new achievements, making them deserving of this gold medal reward. As Ma Long was Wang Nan's idol in the past and is a player recognized by everyone, his gold medal reward is well-deserved.
The third reason is that many experts and fans have high expectations for Wang Nan and may even try to influence her decisions. However, we cannot morally coerce Wang Nan. As a Grand Slam player and a very famous figure in the table tennis world, Wang Nan can choose who to give gifts to without pursuing fairness.
If you also want to give gold medals to Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Fan Zhendong, you can do so privately. But you can't ask Wang Nan to do it because it's her personal property. Also, you can't compare it to the last Olympics because that was also Wang Nan and Guo Bin's private property, and they chose to give gifts to every national table tennis team member who won a championship. That doesn't mean that every champion at the Paris Olympics will receive a reward from Wang Nan.
Among so many representatives of table tennis, Wang Nan has done well by giving out rewards. Look at Deng Yaping, Zhang Yining, and Ding Ning of the national table tennis team, among other excellent Grand Slam winners. Compared to Wang Nan, who gives more generously? In fact, whether giving more or less, it's Wang Nan's right to freely choose.
Of course, Chen Meng, Fan Zhendong, and Wang Manyu are all very outstanding. Even though Wang Nan didn't give them 3-kilogram gold medals, other companies and groups will surely give them big gifts, so don't worry. Your comments are welcome.
