Recently, the withdrawal of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng from the WTT world rankings has attracted significant attention. Since Fan Zhendong announced his withdrawal from the world rankings, there have been two camps on the internet. On one hand, some fans believe that as the top player of the national table tennis team, Fan Zhendong's withdrawal has a huge impact on the Chinese team. However, on the other hand, there are also fans who believe that even if Fan Zhendong steps down, the Chinese table tennis team is full of talent, and it is believed that others can replace him and continue to move forward. Fan Zhendong's withdrawal does not have a significant impact on the national table tennis team. As the turmoil continues to intensify, Zhang Jike recently spoke out during his live broadcast. On the other hand, many fans have been looking forward to the latest response from Liu Guoliang, which has now arrived. Let's take a detailed look at what the situation is. Firstly, in a recent live broadcast, Zhang Jike expressed his thoughts on the performance and strength of the national team's main players, drawing considerable attention. He said that there are actually main players in the national team who are blindly confident and do not have the actual ability. Some fans also dislike the idea that results represent everything. After Zhang Jike said this, it may seem to outsiders that there are two possible meanings. On one hand, it may be that some so-called main players' abilities are overrated. On the other hand, there are…

Recently, the impact of Olympic champion Fan Zhendong's announcement to withdraw from the world rankings has escalated. In response to the official response from WTT, Fan Zhendong posted a tough stance, which has sparked heated discussions and attention from fans and media. We all know that the main reason Fan Zhendong announced his withdrawal from the world rankings is due to the new regulations introduced by WTT. Starting from 2025, players will be fined for not participating in competitions. Fan Zhendong mentioned in his announcement that he cannot accept the rule of being fined for not participating. So, is WTT's decision to fine non-participants reasonable? Many people believe it is not. According to statistics, if Fan Zhendong does not participate in any international events next year, he could face a maximum fine of about 890,000 yuan. However, even if he wins all the events, the highest prize money would only be around 3 million yuan. Fan Zhendong also feels distressed, as he currently has no plans to fully return to competition. The new regulations from the International Table Tennis Federation are forcing him to continuously participate in events. But given his current mental state, he definitely cannot accept this. That's why Fan Zhendong announced his withdrawal from the world rankings. His actions have been supported by many excellent players from other associations. Players like Simon Gauzy and the Lebrun brothers from the French table tennis team, Sweden's Olympic silver medalist Mattias Falck, and Germany's Dimitrij Ovtcharov have all voiced their support on social media. As an Olympic champion, Fan Zhendong's…

On December 31st, the first round of the A-level playoffs for the 2024-2025 season of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League is set to begin. The matchups have been announced: Tianjin will face Liaoning (with the home team listed first), Beijing Automotive (BAIC) will challenge Shandong, Shanghai will compete against Shenzhen, and Jiangsu will go up against Fujian. Analyzing the strength of the teams involved, it appears that reigning champions Tianjin will win without much suspense, while the other two strong teams, Shanghai and Jiangsu, will face challenges, with their chances of victory uncertain. Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team As defending champions, Tianjin started the season slow but picked up momentum under new coach Chen Fang, who took over from Wang Baoquan and began using the original starting setter Yao Di. The team has since changed its sluggish state, winning consecutive victories and once again showing championship potential. Tianjin finished the regular season in second place with a five-game winning streak. In the playoffs, Tianjin is grouped with BAIC, Liaoning, and Shandong. In the first round, they will play against Liaoning, who almost got relegated. With Li Yingying and Wang Yuanyuan leading the attack, Tianjin's victory seems assured. Shanghai Women's Volleyball Team Compared to Tianjin, both Shanghai and Jiangsu have experienced changes. Shanghai's strong support, Xiaocaiwa, left abruptly, and the main lineup had to be changed at the last minute, which will inevitably affect the team's performance. Meanwhile, opponent Shenzhen bolstered its roster before the playoffs, enhancing its strength. It is no longer easy for Shanghai to defeat Shenzhen as they…

CCTV Won't Broadcast! At 19:35, Traditional Powerhouse Challenges the Champion, Best Coach to Give a Lesson to the Young Coach At 19:35 on December 30th, Beijing time, the 24th round of the CBA regular season will kick off in full swing. The traditional powerhouse Shandong men's basketball team will host their home court and challenge the former champion Sichuan men's basketball team. This match is the last game for Shandong men's basketball team in 2024, and the best home coach Qiu Biao is sure to want to end it perfectly. In this match against the former champion with not-so-strong strength, the best coach may want to give a good lesson to the young coach Han Shuo. Unfortunately, CCTV will not broadcast live. As a traditional powerhouse, Shandong men's basketball team is indeed an existence that no one dares to underestimate. Although they suffered a Waterloo last season and were led out of the playoffs by Ding Wei, the old coach, at least they turned misfortune into good fortune and got the number one pick, signing Xie Zhijie. After introducing Qiu Biao, Shandong men's basketball team has undergone a new transformation in terms of team style, improved mentality, and better results. With the help of strong reinforcements, Shandong men's basketball team's record has been soaring, keeping pace with Liaoning men's basketball team, ranking sixth in the standings. Sichuan men's basketball team, as a former champion, is like a dead camel bigger than a horse. Although their performance in recent seasons has not been great, in this season, Sichuan men's basketball team…

Fan Zhendong's conflict with the World Table Tennis (WTT) has escalated, with the player who once defended the honor of the national table tennis team at the Paris Olympics now trapped by WTT rules, forced to withdraw from world rankings, causing regret and pity. The truth behind Fan Zhendong's withdrawal has been exposed, with the main reason being that he faces fines for not participating in competitions, a demand he cannot afford. Some fans believe this decision to withdraw was a momentary impulse from Fan Zhendong, but it was actually a well-considered choice. After all, world ranking is crucial for athletes, representing their strength and necessary for participating in future competitions. At 27, still in his prime, making such a decision shows how excessive WTT's demands are. Following Fan Zhendong's public statement, several table tennis players, including African champion Aruna and the French Lebrun brothers, also voiced support for Fan Zhendong. Especially Aruna, who faced the loss of a loved one and could not withdraw from the competition without facing a 1,000fine.EvenifArunacontinuedplaying,itwouldbedifficulttoearn1,000 fine. Even if Aruna continued playing, it would be difficult to earn 1,000fine.EvenifArunacontinuedplaying,itwouldbedifficulttoearn1,000 in prize money, making this a harsh requirement for ordinary athletes. In response to widespread discussion, WTT addressed the issue of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal late at night, stating that the rules have been in place for four years and were not specifically targeted at them. However, Fan Zhendong confronted the World Table Tennis Federation, exposing their lie by saying he was not previously informed about fines for withdrawal. He only received official…

Liu Guoliang Speaks Out Amid Rumors of His Resignation: CCTV Interview Reveals Details, Discusses Future Four-Year Plan for National Table Tennis Team Mentioning the name Liu Guoliang, table tennis enthusiasts are undoubtedly familiar with it. As the soul figure of the Chinese table tennis team, his contributions are nothing short of monumental. From being a player to a coach and then the chairman of the China Table Tennis Association, he is like a living fossil in table tennis, wielding immense influence. Especially since taking on the role of head coach, Liu has not only maintained the world-class level of the national team but also cultivated countless outstanding players. It can be said that the brilliant achievements of the national table tennis team are inseparable from his hard work and precise deployment. However, recently, rumors about Liu's resignation have been rife, with some even openly accusing him of failing to manage the administrative aspects of the national table tennis team, making him the focus of many discussions. Especially He Xiaolong, an old-timer in the table tennis circle, openly challenged Liu, claiming that he did not handle the issue of fan culture well. Fan culture, doesn't this sound like the fan culture in the entertainment industry? But in He Xiaolong's view, this culture has already infiltrated into the national table tennis team, even affecting the training and competitive state of the athletes. These seemingly enthusiastic fans actually brought a considerable burden to the athletes, to the extent that Chen Meng even considered retirement due to attacks from fans. So, what was Liu…

Liu Guoliang, a shining name in the world of table tennis, has recently found himself at the center of public opinion. Some praise his remarkable achievements, while others question his coaching philosophy, and there are even those who predict his dismissal. Throughout his career as both a player and coach, Liu Guoliang has made significant contributions to Chinese table tennis. He has led the national team to numerous honors and created countless legends. However, at the peak of his success, he faces an unprecedented challenge. The open criticism from famous sports figure He Xiaolong has placed Liu Guoliang in the eye of the storm, sparking discussions about the future development of Chinese table tennis. Once the pride of the national team, Liu Guoliang has now become a focal point of controversy. This transformation evokes a sense of pity and prompts us to ponder how one's merits and demerits should be evaluated, and how we should view past glories amidst current challenges. Some argue that Liu Guoliang's era has passed, and he should step down gracefully. Others believe he remains the best candidate for Chinese table tennis and should continue to lead the team forward. Only time can provide the answer to this debate. He Xiaolong's criticism extends beyond Liu Guoliang personally, targeting the "fan culture" phenomenon within the national team. This invasion of entertainment culture casts a shadow over the pure realm of sports competition and adds extra pressure on the athletes. The fervent pursuit of stardom by fans sometimes crosses boundaries, causing disruptions in the athletes' lives and training,…
