The Australian Open, which is receiving great attention, is in full swing. Chinese Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen won a thrilling victory over the 18-year-old Todoni in the first round of the competition. For Zheng Qinwen, this not only earned her 70 points but also a prize of 900,000 yuan. With just one match played, Zheng Qinwen has already earned 900,000 yuan. Many fans are amazed that Zheng Qinwen's income from winning one game is equivalent to what Sun Yingsha earns in half a year. Indeed, last year, Sun Yingsha, ranked first in the world in women's singles and mixed doubles in table tennis, only earned 1.71 million yuan in prize money. Let's take a look at the events Sun Yingsha participated in last year. From the beginning of last year until the Chongqing Championship before the Olympics, Sun Yingsha was almost fully present. Including the Busan Team World Table Tennis Championships, Singapore Grand Slam, Macau World Cup, Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, and Chongqing Championship, Sun Yingsha did not miss any of them. At the Paris Olympics, Sun Yingsha even competed in three events. After the Olympics, Sun Yingsha also participated in the Macau Championship, China Grand Slam, and Asian Championships. After the Asian Championships, due to injury, Sun Yingsha missed the European Frankfurt and French Championships. These were the only few events she missed. At the end of the year, Sun Yingsha also competed in the year-end finals and the Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup! However, throughout the year, Sun Yingsha only earned 1.71 million yuan in prize money. In…

Recently, the collaboration between WTT (World Table Tennis) and the Chinese Table Tennis Association seems to have sparked considerable controversy. Upon the release of this news, there was an immediate uproar, with people discussing the issues behind it. A seasoned sports journalist revealed that some companies cooperating with WTT are under investigation, and even officials have been implicated. This news quickly garnered widespread attention, with many expressing hope for a fair and clean environment for athletes. More surprisingly, the journalist mentioned a name - Wang Zhongqi. This individual was once the head of the Henan Provincial Table Tennis Association and also served as Vice President of the Henan Provincial Sports General Association. In the past, he made significant efforts for the landing of WTT events in China, promoting the hosting of the WTT World Cup Finals in Xinxiang. He could be considered a crucial "link" between WTT and the Chinese sports world. WTT even awarded him the "Outstanding Contribution Award," which is not an award given to just anyone, but personally presented by Liu Guoliang. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhongqi is now under investigation due to personal issues, leaving many shocked. It appears that the matter is far from over, with ongoing reviews by relevant departments. Notably, the Chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association seems to have been made aware of the situation. Many netizens, upon seeing this news, felt a glimmer of hope. Some netizens commented, "I hope this time we can thoroughly clean up the chaos behind WTT; athletes really need a fair environment." Indeed, as more and more…

Recently, the news of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng withdrawing from the international rankings has once again gathered the attention of the public, leaving a mixed feeling in everyone's hearts. In this turmoil, Liu Guoliang, the head coach of the Chinese table tennis team, has undoubtedly become the focus of public opinion. Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, as top-level athletes, their withdrawal directly affected the image and morale of the team. Many netizens questioned Liu Guoliang's coaching ability, casting a shadow over the future direction of the national table tennis team. Everyone watched these changes with bated breath, wondering what would happen to the national table tennis team? The storm of public opinion quickly swept across the entire table tennis circle. The depressed state of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng disappointed and saddened many fans, even forming a flurry of discussions on social media platforms. Some believe it was Liu Guoliang's "tactical mistake," while others speculate that the condition of the two main players is closely related to their psychological state. Indeed, Fan Zhendong's recent poor form, frequently making mistakes on the court, seems to point to the relationship between him and his coach. Many netizens expressed that the soul of the national table tennis team lies in its mental state, which is precisely the challenge for Liu Guoliang. When it comes to potential successors, Wang Liqin and Qin Zhijian have become the focus of attention. Wang Liqin has performed well in domestic and international events, with rich experience in international competitions and widespread acclaim. On the other hand, Qin…

With Li Quanqiang's announcement, the hottest topic has become: In the Paris Olympic year, why is Zhu Ting, at the peak of her career, not being utilized and left idle, despite repeatedly expressing her desire to compete for national glory? This is not just a personal experience of an athlete, but more like an "earthquake" in the sports world, shattering the hopes and expectations that many people have for the Chinese women's volleyball team. What kind of power struggles and interest transfers are hidden behind this? Is Zhu Ting's situation a coincidence or just the tip of the iceberg of systemic problems within the Chinese women's volleyball team? When will the truth be revealed to the world? Zhang Changning, who has not competed for three years, has returned to the national team, while Zhu Ting, at the peak of her career, is facing a cold reception during the Olympic year. This stark contrast has sparked strong dissatisfaction among fans. Netizens have been expressing their doubts and anger online, with waves of questions flooding in, pushing the Chinese women's volleyball team to the forefront of public opinion. Some say this is the result of "connections" running rampant, a manifestation of corruption within the sports system; others believe there may be deeper reasons behind it, requiring further investigation and exposure. All these doubts are not groundless, but are based on concerns about some long-standing issues within the Chinese women's volleyball team. Zhu Ting's road to return has not been smooth sailing. She was once the "queen" of the world volleyball arena, winning…

If a professional athlete claims to have retired for the sake of their studies and life planning, abandoning their team, but then rejoins another prestigious team just one month later, what would be your thoughts? Is this a necessary choice in pursuit of dreams, or a compromise made for profit? At the end of 2024, Liu Yutong, once hailed as an interior star in the college league, caused a stir in the domestic basketball circle with a series of controversial moves. Her retirement announcement had barely been released when the "prioritizing studies" tune on Weibo was still warm, only to reappear with the Beijing women's basketball team. Shanxi fans were instantly furious, feeling they had been deceived; while the Beijing women's basketball team happily accepted this "free" reinforcement. Was it really the academic pressure that she couldn't bear, or did Beijing's high salary change her direction? The story behind this is far more complex than a simple "retirement-return" process. It directly exposes the reality of domestic professional athletes wavering between interests and beliefs, and also reveals the scars in the allocation of resources and career planning in the women's basketball league. At the end of 2024, Liu Yutong left her final farewell letter on the official website of the Shanxi women's basketball team. She chose to retire citing academic reasons, expressing her determination to complete her graduate courses and thesis. The senior management of the Shanxi women's basketball team chose to understand and support her, quickly terminating her contract. This operation did not cause much of a stir at the…

In recent years, with the rapid progress of China's women's small ball projects, more and more people have begun to pay attention to women's sports. The Chinese women's football team, the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Chinese women's basketball team, etc., have all reached new heights in terms of attention, further confirming the saying that "women can hold up half the sky." Today, we talk about Li Meng, a Chinese women's basketball player known as "LeBron Meng." Li Meng currently plays for the Sichuan Club and led the Sichuan women's basketball team to successfully defend their championship at the end of 2024. Many observant netizens have noticed Li Meng's change, which is dyeing her previously golden hair back to black, making her look much more pleasing to the eye. Speaking of Li Meng's golden hair, it was actually dyed when she joined an overseas club to play, perhaps for a better appearance. Although this is a personal hobby, for those who like her, the golden-haired Li Meng seemed not very "clean," even with exquisite makeup, it didn't quite match her. In contrast, with black hair, Li Meng not only looks neat and tidy but also appears more beautiful and fairer visually. I believe many people share this view. I hope Li Meng will maintain this hairstyle in the future; this is her most beautiful state now!

Zhang Ben Tianjie, who joined Japanese nationality and helped Japan defeat China, now wants to return to China for development?‌ Facing the interview of the reporter, Zhang Ben Tianjie said so. Can you imagine that he used to be a Chinese person when he said this? Born in China, he went to Japan with his father when he was young. Originally thought he would come back to serve the motherland like many overseas students, but he joined the Japanese nationality. Not only that, he also represented the Japanese national team to play against the Chinese team, and even fouled the Chinese players rudely in the game. What makes him so forget his ancestors, and why does he become a target of public criticism with his talent? Immigration to Japan There is a Chinese athlete Zhang Ben Zhihe in the table tennis world, and a naturalized player Zhang Ben Tianjie in the basketball world. However, unlike Zhang Ben Zhihe, who was born in Japan, Zhang Ben Tianjie was born in China. Born in Shenyang, Liaoning, Zhang Tianjie grew up in an athlete family. Father Zhang Jian is a basketball player, grandfather is the head coach of the provincial fencing team, uncle is a badminton player. Mother Zhang Shuping is a volleyball player. After retiring, she went to Japan for further study and later opened a Chinese restaurant in Japan. In the sixth grade of elementary school, he followed his father to Japan to reunite with his mother and stayed in Japan. Thus, the young Zhang Tianjie became a "Japanese". Inheriting the…

Recently, the world table tennis arena has been quite lively, so much so that it's a bit confusing. Why? Many athletes are fleeing! Withdrawing from the world rankings? Withdrawing from competitions? What exactly is going on? First, let's talk about withdrawing from the world rankings. You see, big names like Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long have disappeared from the world rankings! Even Zhuang Zhiyuan and Wang Xinru have withdrawn. This situation, isn't it a bit scary? Is it that they don't want to be world champions anymore? Of course not! Simply put, the reason is that the WTT ranking system is somewhat "unreasonable." Older athletes, those plagued by injuries, and those dissatisfied with the system can only choose to withdraw. In the past, even if they didn't participate in competitions, at least their previous rankings would hold them up. But now, it's not possible; if you don't play, you get fined, and the higher your ranking, the more you're penalized! This isn't a joke; no one's money falls from the sky! Next, let's discuss withdrawing from competitions, which we often refer to as "withdrawing from the competition." This is an even more headache-inducing matter. For example, Zhou Qihao withdrew from the Doha competition due to injury. As for whether he was fined or not, we don't know; there's been no official news. If there's no proof, then you really have to pay out of pocket. Take the Singapore Grand Slam, for instance; the scene was even more "spectacular"! Many athletes withdrew from the competition, among them Lin Gaoyuan's…

"Desiring to know what is straight, one must have a plumb line; desiring to know what is square, one must have a carpenter's square." In the field of sports, which should be full of vitality and fair competition, a recent wave of anti-corruption has surged forth. Since the investigation of Li Tie, the former head coach of the national football team, the football world has embarked on a frenzy of rectification. Du Zhaocai and Chen Xuyuan of the Football Association, among others, have fallen, and even the top sports official Gou Zhongwen was not spared. Now this storm has swept into the volleyball field. The official announcement reported that Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport, is suspected of serious problems and is currently under investigation by relevant departments. Li Quanqiang is a veteran in the volleyball field, having played an important role in the development of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Starting as the team leader of the women's volleyball team, he rose to the positions of deputy director and director. He served as the director of the Volleyball Center from February 2017 until his retirement at the age of eligibility in 2022. During this period, the development trajectory of the Chinese women's volleyball team underwent a huge change. Once a banner of Chinese sports, the Chinese women's volleyball team repeatedly won championships on the international stage and became a heroic team in the hearts of countless people. However, during the later part of his tenure, especially during the Tokyo…

"Many people are puzzled by the physical changes in professional athletes, especially in the basketball world. We've seen legendary players like Duncan, McGrady, and James, who despite being in their prime, seem to be at odds with their physical condition. Even at the peak of their careers, many players appear to have prematurely 'aged' - with graying beards, joint injuries, and prolonged recovery times that are often insufficient. For players like Shaquille O'Neal, who faced serious health issues at just 52 years old, what hidden costs lie behind such contrasts? Is there an inescapable connection between the brilliant achievements of professional athletes and their physical overexertion? For these athletes, every intense training session and competitive match seems to trade health for wealth and glory. But does the sport bring success, or does success come at the cost of their health? Today, we will delve into this topic, discussing the physical overexertion and injuries of professional athletes, revealing the immense toll they bear behind the glitz and glamour. One, the high-intensity trials of a career: the 'invisible harm' behind competitive sports. Professional athletes appear to possess exceptional physical attributes and skills that set them apart from the rest. However, it is precisely these advantages that compel them to constantly challenge their limits under extreme physical demands, sometimes even at the expense of their health. Every game, extra practice, and training that pushes beyond limits, is a consumption of the athlete's body and physiology. In high-intensity sports like basketball, players must exert tremendous athletic ability, strength, and agility on the court. This…
