Did the Capitalists' Cake Get Disturbed? The Reason Behind the National Table Tennis Coaching Team's "Black Faces" Has Been Found, and Yili Officially Apologizes!‌ The victory of Chen Meng should have been a cause for national celebration. However, the national table tennis coaching team collectively wore "black faces," and the audience was filled with boos. Actor Huang Xiaoming posted to celebrate his cousin's victory, but was met with anger in the comments section by Tang Yafei. Even the national brand Yili came forward to apologize... What exactly has disturbed someone's "cake"? As events unfolded, what is the truth? This Olympics seemed to have embarrassed many people, as several promising athletes did not perform at their best.

It was discovered that after Chen Meng's victory, the smiles on many people's faces disappeared. Moreover, the audience booed, and some even made unfriendly gestures to "praise" our champion.

It was as if the match hadn't even started, yet everyone had already decided in their hearts that Sha Sha would be the champion. Therefore, when they saw Chen Meng win and things didn't go as expected, they collectively broke…

Fan Zhendong Doesn't Put Up with You! Publicly Exposes WTT Official Lies, Dare to Act but Not Own Up? Directly Confronts Them Beijing time on December 29th, Fan Zhendong is too domineering. He has decided to stand his ground and publicly expose the lies of the WTT officials, no longer giving them any face. This is the confidence of a super Grand Slam champion. After Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng withdrew from the world rankings, WTT specially issued a lengthy announcement late at night, using six points to respond and explain Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal. One point they made very clear was that this so-called rule of penalizing players for not participating in events is not a new rule; it has already existed for a long time. The reason they imposed such high fines is to ensure that top players participate in their top-tier events, which is an explanation to sponsors, advertisers, and fans. However, after they said this, Fan Zhendong did not remain silent and continued to post hard-hitting responses, exposing their lies. Fan Zhendong posted the following in the comment section: he had carefully read the WTT statement. Therefore, adhering to the principles of rigor and respect for international organizations, he wanted to add a few points. Firstly, regarding the content of the WTT official penalizing non-participating players, he does not know when it appeared, as he had never been officially notified of fines for withdrawing from events before. If you say this rule has been in place for four years, why wasn't he notified about…

This made the former Olympic champion exclaim "feeling the pressure," and he made a surprising decision - to withdraw from the WTT world rankings. Fan Zhendong may stay away from various WTT events, or even signal the end of his career with the national table tennis team! Not only did this spark an outpouring of reluctance from netizens towards him, but it also pushed the head of the national table tennis team, Liu Guoliang, into the limelight. In his public statement, Fan Zhendong revealed that after winning the Paris Olympics, his plans for his future career were still in a state of confusion, with only the participation in the next National Games being clear, while the rest remained uncertain.

Recently, a major news has emerged in the Chinese table tennis world as double Olympic champion Chen Meng officially announced her withdrawal from the 2024 season of the Table Tennis Super League. This decision has not only attracted widespread attention within the sports community but also surprised many fans. As one of the most representative athletes in the history of Chinese table tennis development, Chen Meng's competitive career has always been highly regarded. With her outstanding technical skills and stable psychological qualities, she has won numerous honors for the national team on the international stage. However, since winning the gold medal at the previous Olympics, Chen Meng's participation frequency has significantly decreased, a trend that has become more pronounced recently. Looking at the participation of other main players within the national table tennis team, although there are cases of withdrawal, most maintain a certain rhythm of competition. For example, male team leader Ma Long recently finished second in the Beijing leg of the World Table Tennis Grand Slam event, demonstrating his still-strong competitive form. "Grand Slam" winner Fan Zhendong led the Shanghai team to successfully defend their title at the National Championships, maintaining his competitive state. In contrast, Chen Meng's appearances on the court have indeed been relatively fewer. Further investigation reveals that the primary reason for Chen Meng's withdrawal from the Table Tennis Super League is a conflict in the schedule. She needs to focus on preparing for the upcoming Lao Wa Cup, a competition that has significant implications for the world ranking points of athletes. Moreover, after the…

When Sun Yingsha temporarily faded into the background and Chen Meng was absent from the court, a familiar name re-emerged under the spotlight - Wang Manyu. This "Pillar of the Sea" of the national table tennis women's team lived up to expectations, using an impressive series of victories to prove herself: winning the WTT Fukuoka annual finals and putting on a show of "21 consecutive victories" in the mixed team World Cup, without losing a single game! However, just as Wang Manyu was basking in success, a small change caught the attention of fans. On the sidelines of the match, we seemed to see a new face - Sun Xun, the coach. This detail was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples. Speaking of Wang Manyu and her coaches, it's really an "emotional drama." Her earliest partner was Coach Xiao Zhan, at that time Wang Manyu was like an unpolished piece of jade, gradually showing off its dazzling luster under Xiao Zhan's tutelage. That period was like a touching poem written by master and apprentice working together. But, as they say, all good things must come to an end. When Xiao Zhan was reassigned to be the mixed doubles coach, Wang Manyu felt like she had lost her backbone, and her state began to fluctuate. It was then that the young Xu Hui coach entered her life. After more than a year of coordination, the two finally found their rhythm, and Wang Manyu's ball skills also gradually improved. Yet, fate always likes to play jokes on people.…

In just a couple of hours after Fan Zhendong announced his withdrawal from the world rankings, Chen Meng also publicly declared the same decision. Behind the simultaneous announcements of the Olympic men's singles champion and women's singles champion, who are currently the top-ranked male and female singles players in the table tennis world, not only has there been significant public attention; but the reasons for their withdrawals are strikingly similar — as the "oppressed party," Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong have risen up in rebellion! Accompanying their uprising, the "tyrannical clauses" by which WTT exploits its players have come to light. It is well-known that WTT is actually a commercial format strongly promoted by Liu Guoliang, and the current success of WTT is inseparable from the strong support of the Chinese market and Chinese businesses. In order to build the brand value of WTT, both the WTT officials and Liu Guoliang, who holds multiple positions including Vice Chairman of the International Table Tennis Federation, Chairman of the WTT World Table Tennis Corporation Board, and President of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, must consider maintaining the organizational management stability of the events. They will introduce some policies to encourage athletes to actively participate in competitions, ensuring the brand value of the events, protecting the interests of sponsors, attracting more sponsors to join, and drawing worldwide attention. Starting from the goal of maintaining brand value, it is determined that the high-frequency WTT events require top athletes to have high attendance, which is inseparable from the strong support of the Chinese table tennis…
