Recently, the sports circle has been less peaceful, and the table tennis world has also been involved, with many people discussing it. Well, what's going on here? It's surprising that it involves our national sport. It turns out that a sports journalist named He Xiaolong recently wrote an article with quite explosive content. He compared Liu Guoliang with Li Tie, who had an incident before, and found that Liu Guoliang's influence is even greater than Li Tie! This is not to be taken lightly; once the article came out, it caused an uproar online. He Xiaolong said that Liu Guoliang's power is "domestic and international," making waves at home and abroad. Impressive, right? He can even sideline collective decision-making—how much energy does that take! Think about it, the national football team's affairs are messy, but at least the Football Association still has to manage them; after all, the power isn't that centralized. But the national table tennis team? He Xiaolong said that the transparency of the national table tennis team is much lower than that of the national football team. It's like a black box; no one knows what's really going on inside. Liu Guoliang used WTT to establish a huge industrial chain, how complicated and opaque this chain is, us ordinary folks really don't know. Even worse, he has kidnapped the entire national table tennis team, and the athletes have no choice but to listen to him. This is not an exaggeration; just look at what netizens are saying. Some say that Liu Guoliang's influence has surpassed sports itself…

After a disappointing early exit in the singles round at the 2025 Australian Open, many Chinese tennis fans were left wondering if Zhang Zhizhen could redeem himself in the doubles competition. Despite the initial setback, Zhang proved that the doubles court was where he truly shone this year. His hard-fought victory, which took two hours of intense play, not only secured him and his partner Mahachi a spot in the round of 16 but also reignited hope for Chinese tennis enthusiasts who had faced repeated disappointments. Zhang's journey at the Australian Open was akin to an emotional rollercoaster. His early exit from the singles event, facing top international players, highlighted the technical and psychological challenges he encountered. It was no surprise, considering the relatively short history of men's tennis in China compared to global powerhouses. The pressure on Zhang, as the "number one" player in Chinese men's tennis, was immense. He had previously achieved significant moments in singles, including reaching the second round of a Grand Slam and ranking among the world's top 100. However, when pitted against high-level opponents, his performance often fell short, revealing vulnerabilities. Yet, Zhang did not let these shortcomings define him entirely. The inconsistencies in his singles game might be more indicative of psychological development and match experience than a lack of ability. The disappointment of losing in the first round of singles was quickly overshadowed by Zhang's resurgence in the doubles arena. His thrilling comeback victory, with scores of 5-7, 6-4, 6-4, was not just about impressive technical skill but also a psychological battle…

Former Shanghai Shenhua and Shandong Taishan head coach Valeri Nepomniachtchi was interviewed, where he compared Chinese footballers with Russian footballers. Nepomniachtchi expressed his views, stating that it is difficult to instill a professional mentality in Chinese players, who tend to lose their professionalism immediately after joining the national team. He also mentioned that Chinese players are very talented, and their natural abilities are not inferior to those of Russian footballers. Nepomniachtchi said, "It's hard for me to judge because I've been involved in Chinese football for over 20 years. Therefore, the level there has probably improved. Everyone knows that the development of Chinese football is wave-like, with large amounts of money coming in and then leaving. They start buying star players, and then they close the project again. So, I have no comment on the current state of Chinese football. But I can say that Chinese footballers are very talented. If we're talking purely about the Chinese, this is certain. Their talent is no worse than that of Russian players." Nepomniachtchi further explained, "Another thing is that the concept of professional players in China is very different from that in Russia. I always felt that when a Chinese footballer reaches a high level, such as joining the national team, they immediately lose their professionalism; they already consider themselves stars. When I tried to explain to such a player that they must maintain their level, they would reply, 'Are you kidding? My jersey has already sold five million pieces.' Therefore, instilling a professional mentality in Chinese footballers is extremely challenging. As…

It was unexpected that the "Gold-inlaid Jade" medals from the 2008 Beijing Olympics would return to the public eye in such a unique way. Recently, news of about 100 Paris Olympic medals being returned due to severe oxidation has caused quite a stir, which is a significant embarrassment for any Olympic Games. Athletes train hard for years and strive to bring back Paris Olympic medals to their countries, only to find that Paris Olympics have arranged a "defective product" for them, which is truly speechless. This is not the first time the Paris Olympics have reported problems with medal quality. During the Paris Olympics, athletes who had just received their medals noticed that the quality seemed unsatisfactory. Subsequently, more athletes posted that their Paris Olympic medals also showed signs of wear and discoloration, giving the impression that the medals were not as good as they should be, but rather rough. An athlete who also won a medal at the Paris Olympics even shared his "battle-damaged medal," which looked so worn out in the photo that it was barely recognizable. He even jokingly compared this Olympic medal to an "antique relic" of a century-old object, which made him somewhat tearful. This also reminds people of the "accidentally trending" gold-inlaid jade medal from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In 2021, Russian rhythmic gymnast Daria accidentally started a fire by lighting a candle at home. Although she and her cat were safe, the house was burned beyond recognition. However, amidst the wreckage, something shiny caught Daria's attention, and when she picked it up, it…

Recently, a decision by the national table tennis team has caused quite a stir: the Wang Chuqin fan club announced its dissolution. This news came as a shock to many fans - after all, Wang Chuqin is currently a hot new star in the table tennis world, and his fan club was once seen as a successful example of the commercialization of the national table tennis team. However, behind the dissolution, the national table tennis team has sent a clear signal: they are determined to completely sever ties with fan culture. So the question arises, why did the national table tennis team choose this moment to "cut off the arm"? Has fan culture really become the straw that broke the camel's back for this national sport? If you often browse Weibo or Xiaohongshu, you may notice a phenomenon: sports stars are being pushed to the forefront and troughs by fan culture. Once upon a time, the focus of table tennis events was "who won this tough battle," but now? Before a match even ends, social media is already in an uproar. Fans are supporting their favorite athletes on one side and attacking opponents on the other, even engaging in endless flame wars, which spread to the private lives of the athletes themselves. This entertainment-to-death atmosphere gradually turns healthy sports competition into an emotional venting ground. In fact, fan culture itself is not a "flood of beasts." It initially was just a way for fans to express their likes and support, but excessive emotionalization can lead to loss of control. For…

In this era of information explosion and diverse public opinion, every hot event can quickly attract the attention of the public. Recently, a live broadcast initiated by well-known sports commentator He Xiaolong on his WeChat public account once again focused the spotlight on the table tennis world on fan culture and potential internal team issues. This is not just a live broadcast about sports, but also a profound reflection on human nature, justice, and fan culture. The live broadcast opened amidst anticipation and curiosity, with He Xiaolong igniting the audience's enthusiasm with his characteristic sharpness and directness. He candidly pointed out: "When we talk about the 'Sha Tou' combination, we must mention the driving force behind it, which may be Coach Liu Guoliang. This legendary figure in the table tennis world, each of his decisions could influence the direction of the entire team." This statement immediately caused a sensation on the internet. Netizens left messages, some expressing support, believing that He Xiaolong dared to speak the truth and exposed secrets unknown to the table tennis world. Others held opposing views, thinking that such remarks were too one-sided and lacked sufficient evidence. However, regardless of the netizens' reactions, He Xiaolong's topic had successfully aroused public interest in the fan culture within the table tennis world. Facing the inquiries and curiosity of netizens, He Xiaolong did not avoid them but delved deeper into the pros and cons of fan culture.

This matter, it's really a wave that hasn't calmed down before another rises. Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the world rankings is like throwing a big stone into a calm lake, stirring up waves. The southern media claims that Liu Guoliang was well-intentioned in helping out, but He Xiaolong isn't buying it, and netizens' comments are exploding, overwhelmingly siding with He Xiaolong. Now, everyone wants to know, what's really going on behind this? "Weekend Weekend" published an article trying to clear Liu Guoliang's name, saying that Liu Guoliang was using Fan Zhendong's withdrawal to put pressure on WTT, as if all this was for the good of the athletes. But He Xiaolong wasn't having it, directly countering that such a claim is utter nonsense. He believes that Liu Guoliang doesn't have the final say in WTT, so how could he solve problems through such means? Not to mention, if this were true, why agree to withdraw from the rankings first, and why not allow participation in the Asian Cup? Speaking of this, do you feel a bit confused? These details are indeed perplexing. Some netizens recall the scene from the Li Ning sponsor meeting before the Paris Olympics, where Ma Long stood in the most prominent position and Liu Guoliang sat beside him, as if silently revealing some information. This matter becomes more intriguing the more you think about it. The issue of athletes' own rights has also come to light. Top players have faced fan circle troubles over the years without receiving enough support, which is no small matter. Why…

As a seasoned sports commentator, today I want to talk about the recently announced Top 10 Female Athletes in China's Sports World for 2024. This list is always highly anticipated, and this year there are quite a few unexpected changes. Let's take a look together. The biggest surprise is that table tennis queen Sun Yingsha only ranks fourth. You should know that Sun Yingsha is this year's Grand Slam winner, taking the mixed doubles gold medal at the Paris Olympics and sweeping the women's singles, team, and mixed doubles titles at the Asian Games. In theory, such achievements should be enough to secure her the top spot. However, the selection criteria in the sports world are always complex, considering not only results but also breakthroughs and influence. So, who is number one this year? The answer is tennis player Zheng Qinwen. Zheng Qinwen's performance this year has indeed been eye-catching. Not only did she reach the final of the Australian Open, creating new heights for Chinese tennis players, but she also bravely won the women's singles gold medal at the Paris Olympics, which is the first Olympic singles gold medal in the history of Chinese tennis. Tennis is a major international sport, and achieving a breakthrough in this field undoubtedly has a remarkable impact. Following closely behind is diving prodigy Quan Hongchan. This post-00s youngster once again demonstrated her astonishing skills at the Paris Olympics, successfully defending her women's 10-meter platform title and winning the gold medal in the women's synchronized 10-meter platform with her teammates. Quan Hongchan's performance not…
