The Chinese table tennis team achieved great success at the Paris Olympics, winning all five gold medals, which greatly excited the fans. Initially, it was expected that Olympic champions Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng would continue to represent China in the new Olympic cycle. However, both of them unexpectedly issued statements announcing their withdrawal from world ranking. When Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng made their statements, everyone was astonished. Especially Fan Zhendong mentioned that due to the ITTF's mandatory participation policy, failure to participate would result in fines. Therefore, Fan Zhendong had no choice but to withdraw from the world rankings. After this incident, there were many criticisms towards the ITTF. Surprisingly, the ITTF directly responded with a rebuttal. The ITTF released a statement expressing deep respect for the contributions of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, acknowledging that they have inspired countless fans and athletes worldwide. Regarding concerns raised about the WTT handbook, the ITTF clarified several points: The rules mentioned by Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng are not newly introduced. They stated that these regulations, including the automatic inclusion of top-ranked players in the entry list, have been in place since the establishment of WTT four years ago. The purpose of these rules is to ensure that top players participate in important WTT events, maintain fairness in competitions, and provide the highest quality events for players, fans, and all partners. It was unexpected that the ITTF would issue a statement to refute Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng. Netizens expressed that such direct confrontation left them speechless, and some even…

Cuikexing is determined to leave, elder sister proposes a new plan, He Xiaoke has the potential to replicate Xie Wenhua's success After entering the offseason, the TaiShan team has been plagued by problems with their head coach. In fact, due to the poor performance of the TaiShan team last season, Cuikexing has been questioned by fans, and the calls for his dismissal have been growing louder and louder. Cuikexing may also have no intention of continuing to coach the TaiShan team, and he has proactively proposed to resign. He even released news through South Korean media that he has completed the termination of his contract with the TaiShan team. However, according to the news from the TaiShan team, Cuikexing has not terminated his contract, and he is still the head coach of the TaiShan team. The reason why the TaiShan team did not agree to Cuikexing's resignation is mainly because of the high termination fee demanded by Cuikexing. It was Cuikexing himself who wanted to leave, so he proposed to leave. However, Cuikexing's side demanded a high termination fee, which is obviously unreasonable. Under the current financial difficulties of the TaiShan team, it is not impossible to let Cuikexing continue coaching for another year and fulfill his contract. But recently, according to the revelation of journalist Miao Yuan, Cuikexing seems to be determined to leave. Miao Yuan revealed that the elder sister of the South Korean agent has come up with a new plan. When fans asked about the plan, Miao Yuan explained that it was a breakup plan. Obviously,…

At the 2024 Global Football Awards ceremony, Cristiano Ronaldo was honored with the Best Middle East Player of the Year award and also received the Best Historical Goalscorer award. In an interview, Ronaldo discussed topics related to the Ballon d'Or, Manchester United, Manchester City, and once again brought up the comparison between the Saudi League and Ligue 1, which caused a stir. An official response! Ligue 1 announces a new decision, leaving Ronaldo embarrassed. Ronaldo had previously stated that the Saudi league is better, and he reiterated his stance. Ronaldo said, "The Saudi league is undoubtedly stronger than Ligue 1; try sprinting in temperatures of 38, 39, or 40 degrees. Apart from Paris, the other teams in Ligue 1 are not good enough." Ronaldo's remarks upset many Ligue 1 fans, and now Ligue 1 has responded strongly to Ronaldo. The official Spanish-language social media account of Ligue 1 reposted a previous dynamic responding to Ronaldo, which quoted Messi's previous comments. At that time, Messi said, "Ligue 1 places more emphasis on physical confrontation than La Liga; Ligue 1 teams have stronger physical endurance, the matches are more intense, and there is very limited space for players; Ligue 1 players are all very strong." Additionally, the media stated that this is the view of Ligue 1 players and referred to Messi as the greatest player in history and the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). Ligue 1 cited Messi's words; in Messi's opinion, Ligue 1 is better than La Liga in certain aspects. Compared to La Liga, Ligue 1 excels in some…

Recently, Chinese table tennis star and Olympic champion Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng announced their withdrawal from the world rankings, drawing widespread attention across the internet. The incident began when Fan Zhendong encountered unfair refereeing decisions in WTT events, leading him to question the fairness and professionalism of WTT. As a top player in the table tennis world, Fan Zhendong is known for his exquisite skills and tenacious competitive spirit, and this dispute undoubtedly had a significant impact on his career and mental state. Fan Zhendong published a lengthy article detailing his experiences in WTT events. He mentioned that he had been subjected to obvious unfair judgments in multiple competitions, which not only affected his performance but also dealt a severe blow to his self-confidence. Fan Zhendong stated that he had repeatedly appealed to WTT but received no reasonable explanations or responses. He questioned whether there were issues with WTT's refereeing system and called on the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) to investigate the matter. The People's Political Consultative Conference (PPCC) reported on the issue, featuring it prominently on the front page. The article pointed out that Fan Zhendong's experience was not an isolated case; in recent years, the fairness and professionalism of WTT events have been a subject of controversy. Many players have publicly expressed dissatisfaction with WTT's refereeing, but often chose silence due to various reasons. Fan Zhendong's courageous voice has undoubtedly injected a breath of fresh air into the entire table tennis community. The PPCC emphasized in its article that fairness and justice in sports competition are…

Today, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng successively issued statements, announcing their withdrawal from the international rankings, which is equivalent to giving up the opportunity to participate in the WTT Grand Slam event. While firing at the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), this move essentially amounts to their departure from the national team. Announcing their exits on the same day, both Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng had similar wording in their statements. Chen Meng quickly posted her own statement after liking Fan Zhendong's. If Fan Zhendong was leading the charge, then Chen Meng swiftly responded, forming an alliance to jointly resist the ITTF's unfair system. As a result, many people are curious about one topic: How close are these two individuals that they can act in such solidarity? In terms of age, Chen Meng is a few years older than Fan Zhendong, but in terms of their tenure with the national team, Chen Meng is roughly on par with Fan Zhendong. However, Chen Meng is a classic example of late blooming. Although she joined the national team at the age of 13, she did not win a major singles championship in her first ten years with the team, making it difficult for her to rank among the top three main players of the national table tennis team, effectively becoming a marginal figure. Even after the 2016 Rio Olympics when the national team underwent a generational change, Zhu Yuling, who was of the same era as Chen Meng, overshadowed her. It wasn't until later, after Zhu Yuling lost confidence due to defeats…

In today's era, the handsome athlete Usain Bolt and his beautiful bride Kasi Bennett are enjoying a warm and blissful family life. It is worth noting that Bolt once issued a stern warning to all potential suitors in a serious and firm tone, hoping they would stay away from his cherished daughter to avoid unnecessary trouble. Meanwhile, Kasi also shared a remarkable photo on social media, where she is seen wearing a splendid red dress, her right hand gently caressing her slightly protruding abdomen, radiating the joy of becoming a mother. In May of the same year, Bolt's precious daughter was born, with Jamaican Prime Minister Holness personally offering heartfelt congratulations to the outstanding athlete's newborn daughter. Since then, the couple has frequently shared moments of their daughter's growth on various social media platforms. The little girl, with dark skin and a striking resemblance to her father, has curly hair that adds to her cuteness. Bolt named his daughter Olympia Lightning, fully expressing his deep affection for the nickname "Lightning." In June 2021, Bolt welcomed the birth of twin sons, who were named Saint Leo and Thunder. Family photos show a strong Middle Eastern atmosphere. Looking back at Bolt and Kasi's love story, they first met in 2016. Despite a significant height difference, with Bolt standing at 1.96 meters and Kasi only 1.55 meters, this did not affect their sweet interactions. Every time they appeared in public together, Bolt would always gaze deeply at Kasi and hold her tightly in his arms, showing his profound care for the black model.…

Under the support of both provincial and municipal departments, Wuhan Three Towns has made up for the two months of wages owed to the players this year, and has successively resolved 11 international lawsuits before the 20th. As a result, Wuhan Three Towns has successfully passed the entry review of the Football Association. Next, what lies ahead for Wuhan Three Towns is to strengthen the team's strength and start the winter window transfer work. Unlike in the past, this time Wuhan Three Towns' transfer strategy focuses on tapping local talent from Wuhan, especially those players with a deep football heritage in Hubei, who will become the main targets for the team's recruitment. Under this guiding principle, two Hubei-born national team veterans have come into the sights of Wuhan Three Towns. They are former national team captain Hao Junmin and former national goalkeeper Zeng Cheng. Despite the fact that these two former national team veterans have been away from the field for some time, their return rumors still aroused widespread attention and expectations. For Wuhan Three Towns, bringing in Hao Junmin and Zeng Cheng is not just a simple consideration to enhance the team's strength, but also a strong push for the inheritance of local football culture. Hao Junmin, once a star in the Bundesliga and a champion of the German Cup wearing the Schalke 04 jersey, his brilliant achievements in his career have long been recorded in history. On the Bundesliga stage, he won the wide acclaim of fans with his exquisite ball skills and outstanding vision. After returning to…

Green: Only two players in the NBA today don't need to prove themselves, Durant and Harden are not qualified! As we all know, "Chasing Dreams" Green is one of the most annoying players in the NBA today. He punches Gobel and kicks Adams on the court, using all kinds of dirty moves, and even doesn't spare his teammates. Off the court, Green's various shocking remarks have earned him a lot of attention. A sentence "We were already champions before you came" has made Durant defensive until now. It can be said that whether it is behavior or words, Green always makes people unpredictable. Not long ago, Green's remarks once again aroused heated discussions among fans. He said that there are only two players in the league who do not need to prove themselves, but Durant, Antetokounmpo, Harden and other superstars are not among them. So, let's take a look together. In Green's list, Curry is naturally at the forefront. As the number one "Curry fan" in the league, Green has always regarded Curry as his elder brother, following him both on the court and in the locker room. At the same time, as teammates who won four championships side by side, their friendship is beyond words. In fact, Curry's career achievements and influence are also among the best among current players. It should be noted that he is not only the founder of the Warriors dynasty, but also the leader of the small ball era. With four championships, one FMVP, two consecutive MVPs, and the historical three-point king, Curry with…

Continuing to comment on the article, I also read an article today in which football superstar Ramos stated that in the history of world football, the universally recognized Ball King is only Maradona, and the closest to the level of a potential Ball King are Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. Here are some of my own views on this perspective. The key to being a Ball King lies in the word "King"! It embodies the aura of a king, leadership qualities, domineering, spiritual, and talented all in one! They are absolutely the cornerstone of the team, capable of enhancing the level of their teammates and improving the team's performance! Although Maradona was undoubtedly skilled at dribbling, what's most important is his passing vision and rationality. His often incredible and imaginative passes are surprisingly reasonable. In this aspect, Messi still falls short. Don't tell me about how many assists Messi has; it's not enough in terms of rationality, and many balls could have been passed earlier for better results. Mainly because Messi started out as a forward, his mindset for assists is somewhat fixed. Both are incredibly talented top-tier players, neck and neck, but in terms of match intensity and team leadership, it's clear that Old Horse (Maradona) is superior. The early matches were more fiercely competitive, and the rules didn't provide as comprehensive protection for the players as they do now. There were no cards given for tackles from behind, and many stars had to retire early due to injuries. On the field, Old Horse was subjected to punches and kicks as…

The transfer market in the Chinese Super League (CSL) has recently been experiencing significant changes, with a new trend emerging that focuses on careful financial management rather than extravagant spending. Once known for its big-money signings and the pursuit of high-profile foreign players, the league is now seeing a shift as clubs like Chengdu Rongcheng and Dalian Pro demonstrate a more sustainable approach to team building. Chengdu Rongcheng has become a standout example of this new model, having assembled a strong squad without breaking the bank. Instead of investing heavily in superstar signings, they have made strategic acquisitions of key domestic players, enhancing their team's strength while maintaining financial stability. The potential addition of Liao LiSheng has fans speculating about the further strengthening of their midfield, which already boasts a solid lineup of Zhou Dingyang, Mai TiJiang, and Yan Dinghao. If Liao LiSheng were to join, it could significantly boost Chengdu Rongcheng's midfield control, giving them a competitive edge for seasons to come. Similarly, Dalian Pro has adopted a strategy that prioritizes stability and long-term development over immediate success. They have retained experienced veterans like Zhao Mingjian, who serves not only as a defensive anchor but also as a spiritual leader in the locker room. Dalian Pro's focus on building a strong team culture and nurturing young talent reflects a commitment to sustainable growth and a vision beyond short-term achievements. These clubs are proving that rational transfers and meticulous operations are the future of the CSL. They are showing that patience, a focus on long-term planning, and a dedication to…
