National Table Tennis is indeed the king of traffic in the sports circle, with all kinds of people commenting on it, especially recently. A famous football journalist named He Xiaolong from a certain blog seems to have recently taken issue with the national table tennis team, constantly speaking out and commenting on it. This guy has publicly expressed his opinions again, making comments on the three golden flowers of the women's team who won the championship at the Baao Olympics. He claims that Sun Yingsha was overpraised and marketed to the point of being crippled, missing out on the women's singles gold medal at the Olympics; while Wang Manyu was suppressed and crippled, her coach was removed, causing her to lose her qualification for the Olympic singles event and suffer a great loss of vitality; only Chen Meng was in a normal state, which is why she successfully defended her Olympic women's singles title. He Xiaolong said that it is easy to understand why Wang Manyu was suppressed and beaten down. After the Tokyo Olympics, Manyu reached the peak once, defeating Sun Yingsha to win the National Games and beating Chen Meng at the World Championships, becoming the center of attention for a time. Unfortunately, her coach was replaced after that, causing her to fall from the peak into a low point. Before the Baao Olympics, her condition returned, and she thought she had a stable chance at the women's singles spot, but in the end, she lost it at the last moment. Being suppressed everywhere, it's no wonder that…

Another day of public outrage has arrived. After much anticipation, the roster for the 34th Table Tennis Asian Cup has finally been announced. As expected, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng, who were originally on the invitation list, have not made it onto the Asian Cup roster. Upon the release of the list, netizens were in an uproar, with most expressing their support for Fan Zhendong. Brother Dong was initially on the invitation list, but... so his spot was taken, clearly giving his place to someone else, treating him like an outsider. In contrast to the remarks by the women's team head coach Ma Lin, the men's team head coach Wang Hao's comments have been criticized by netizens. Some netizens say, "White Gao hates Fan Zhendong more than 191, not even mentioning him, it's too heartbreaking! At least Ma Lin explained the situation with Chen Meng." Other netizens say, "In the past, there was still consideration for the master-disciple relationship, but now there can be no psychological burden in scolding White Gao." The women's team at least communicated with Chen Meng, while the men's team didn't even mention Fan Zhendong, so did the men's team not communicate with Fan Zhendong? "Wang, Lin, Liang, and Lin are currently the strongest in the team." Isn't Brother Dong part of the team? So is Fan Zhendong directly categorized as a retired player and kicked out of the team? Although there was some mental preparation, it still feels like a blow. Ma Lin maintained basic decorum and respect, but Wang Hao seems to…

The Asian Cup roster has sparked heated discussions with the absence of familiar names such as Fan Zhendong and Ma Long, while Chen Meng has opted out due to personal reasons. This time, the "usual formula" has been replaced by fresh faces like Chen Yuanyu, Huang Youzheng, and Shi Xunyao, who have been boldly promoted. The exclusion of veterans and the rise of young talents have raised questions about the Chinese national table tennis team's intentions: Why is the team so willing to make these changes? Is it because the veterans are no longer capable, or are the newcomers ready to take over? Behind this lies Liu Guoliang's new strategy: to promote the rejuvenation of the national table tennis team and provide opportunities for more newcomers. While this sounds like a well-thought-out reform, the actual implementation of sidelining veterans has left a bitter-sweet taste. Is this a panacea or a gamble? There is certainly much to discuss. The story begins in 2024 when the national table tennis team entered a new competitive cycle. Liu Guoliang proposed a strategic guideline of "fair opportunity" at an internal meeting – regardless of seniority, those with ability would receive more chances; conversely, even the most famous players could not be guaranteed participation. It was clear that this strategy targeted young players, but what was unexpected was the rapid "young storm" within the team. This Asian Cup roster is a concentrated reflection of such reforms. Fans familiar with the national table tennis team know that veteran wild cards were almost a given, either due to…

Liu Guoliang Breaks Silence! Directly Responds to "Dismissal" Rumors, Admits National Table Tennis Team Will Have a "Big Move"‌ By Editor Mai Mai "I firmly believe that Liu Guoliang has been dismissed." On December 24th, well-known sports media personality He Xiaolong publicly posted targeted comments on social media. He didn't forget to add, "This is just my personal judgment." The target of his remarks was none other than the "head of national table tennis" - Liu Guoliang. He Xiaolong usually likes to make some guiding remarks, which can be said to have "stolen the show." It's more like "riding the wave and grabbing attention" rather than expressing an opinion. This time, he once again provoked controversy, quite smug about it. In response, Liu Guoliang no longer remained silent but directly responded to the rumors of his dismissal, admitting that the national table tennis team would make a "big move." The previously smug He Xiaolong also suffered a "slap in the face"! "Bombarding" Liu Guoliang As the "head of national table tennis," Liu Guoliang led the national table tennis team to win numerous honors and medals. Currently, under Liu Guoliang's leadership, the national table tennis team is developing with great momentum. At the recent Paris conference, Liu Guoliang once again led the national table tennis players to compete in Paris, sweeping five gold medals. The national table tennis players are also very popular, gaining countless fans with their strength and personal charm, enjoying endless glory. However, behind the glory, they are deeply embroiled in various negative rumors. Not long ago, well-known…

On January 17th, the national table tennis team officially announced the Asian Cup entry list. For the collective absence of three Olympic champions Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng, Wang Hao dared not respond to such a sensitive topic, but Ma Lin showed great sincerity and responsibility. Ma Lin clearly responded that the reason why Chen Meng did not participate in this Asian Cup is mainly two points: first, Chen Meng has withdrawn from the world ranking system; secondly, the team communicated with her, and she will not participate in international competitions for the time being. It can be seen that Ma Lin still communicated with her after knowing that Chen Meng withdrew from the world rankings, and thus got the response that Chen Meng would not participate in the competition, which can be considered as benevolent and righteous, and everything that should be done has been done. Compared with Wang Hao's reluctance to respond to sensitive issues in table tennis, Ma Lin, who has always had a bad reputation, appeared very honest this time, which also changed the outside world's view of him. However, objectively speaking, Chen Meng's problem and Fan Zhendong's incident are not comparable because Chen Meng's age and state are no longer advantageous. Her withdrawal from international events during the world ranking incident is also a good choice. After all, if Chen Meng insists on competing with Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu for the Grand Slam, it is very likely that she will lose badly. Although Chen Meng is only one step away from the…

The Chinese National Table Tennis Team has announced a significant decision: the main female player, Chen Meng, has resolutely decided to disband her fan group, which is undoubtedly a clear statement against the current popular fan culture. Within the national table tennis family, the emotional connection between players and fans has always been very close. Fans passionately cheer for the players, while the players reciprocate with outstanding achievements. However, when this pure emotion is influenced by the complex fan culture, everything seems to become less simple. Especially concerning the rumors of a romantic relationship between Chen Meng and Wang Chuqin, although it is not uncommon for teammates in the sports world to develop into couples, such as Huang Yaqiong and Liu Yuchen from the national badminton team who openly admitted their relationship and received numerous blessings. However, the national table tennis team's handling of such rumors appears ambiguous, neither denying nor admitting, which undoubtedly provides an opportunity for the spread of fan culture. With the increasing efforts of relevant departments to rectify fan culture, the national table tennis team has also actively responded, striving to create a healthier and purer competitive atmosphere. In this context, Chen Meng made a difficult yet necessary choice - to disband her fan group. For her, these fan groups are not only a bridge for interacting with fans but also an important space for sharing life moments and releasing pressure. Especially that small group of only 8 people, which carries many precious memories. Therefore, when making the decision to disband, Chen Meng's mood was extremely…

On January 15th, Chen Meng celebrated her 31st birthday. Having withdrawn from the WTT world rankings, she did not join the national table tennis team for training in Hainan, which marked the first time since she was 15 that she stayed in Qingdao, Shandong to celebrate her birthday. On that day, her hometown welcomed her birthday with great fanfare, and the coastal buildings in Qingdao were filled with birthday greetings. The 31-year-old Chen Meng announced a piece of good news, which is undoubtedly a signal to start a new life. After withdrawing from the WTT world rankings and representing Shandong in the National Games, it is highly likely that she will bid farewell to the competition arena. "Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get." Although Chen Meng's decision came as a surprise, it makes sense, marking another turning point in her life. Although Chen Meng has not retired, she has been actively involved in the youth training of table tennis. The recently held Chen Meng Cup Qingdao Youth Table Tennis Invitational Tournament is significant, named after her. Many well-known table tennis athletes, such as Ma Long, Li Xiaoxia, Ochiirov, Zheng Yijing, Du Kaiqin, and Mihara Miyuu, have sent their blessings, making the competition highly anticipated. It is like a star-studded stage, attracting many young people to participate, giving them the opportunity to showcase themselves on this big platform. This not only allows children to receive more attention but also increases the possibility for them to step onto higher stages. For this Chen…

Continuing to share my views, I came across an article with pictures where current Japanese table tennis player Ping Ye Meiyu stated that in terms of technique, only Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu have reached a level in women's table tennis that is beyond reach for others. Here are my thoughts on this statement. I believe their table tennis skills are about the same, but mentally, Sasha is more stable. I think Sasha is like Zhuge Liang, smart in playing, a strategist who remains calm even when the mountains crumble before him; while Manyu is like Zhao Zilong, a general with a variety of martial arts skills. It's not surprising that in competitions between top players, whoever performs better on the spot wins. The key is that Sun Yingsha is indeed superior in skill, and past results also show that compared to Wang Manyu and Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha always wins more than she loses, which is a fact. In the past, when I watched the Macau World Cup, I felt a bit sorry for Wang Manyu. However, after watching yesterday's match, I believe that Sun Yingsha is undoubtedly the world's number one! She is the best iron-blooded singles player, without a doubt! In today's women's table tennis arena, the top-level competition between forehand and backhand skills comes down to on-site performance, seeing who has stronger endurance and willpower to fight until the end. Wang Manyu has a higher win rate against Chen Meng, who has good psychological quality and can compete with Sun Yingsha. I am a fan of…

Hey, our Olympic champion Chen Meng has some big news! On January 14th, Chen Meng was appointed as the honorary chairman of the Qingdao New Youth Heritage Committee in her hometown of Qingdao. This news spread quickly, and netizens were buzzing, saying that Chen Meng is amazing and from now on, we should call her "Chairman Chen." You see, the next day was Chen Meng's birthday, January 15th, and this honorary chairman appointment was a super special gift for her birthday. At the appointment ceremony, the scene was very lively. Chen Meng was surrounded by fans, and she was very patient, signing one by one on the table tennis rackets for the fans, with a smile on her face. After signing, she also took photos with various leaders, standing in the middle of the front row, she was really radiant, you could tell she was extremely proud. Chen Meng is quite powerful on the table tennis court. She won the women's singles championship at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and the 2024 Paris Olympics, and won many other awards, she is simply a legend in the hearts of fans. This time becoming an honorary chairman is not only recognition of her achievements in the field of table tennis but also recognition of her personal qualities and influence. Chen Meng also said that she will continue to carry forward the Olympic spirit, always pay attention to red culture and charity, and contribute more to society. These words are so great, netizens all like and support her. However, before the World Table Tennis…

On the day of the final, on the table tennis court, Chen Meng stood on the Olympic podium after years of hard training and countless competitions. In theory, this moment should be filled with cheers and joy, but reality turned out to be unexpected. Some viewers were indifferent to her victory, and even some made sarcastic remarks. This not only surprised Chen Meng but also stirred up waves in the hearts of all those who paid attention to the match. "What's going on?" Many netizens asked. Why is there such a big contrast when a Chinese person wins? It turns out that under the influence of social media, some fans (fan circles) have brought their love for idols into sports events. They only support the stars in their hearts, ignoring the significance of the competition itself. The topic of "fan circle culture" has recently become popular. It has a huge impact in the entertainment industry, and it has unexpectedly spread to the field of sports. For athletes like Chen Meng, what they pursue is fair competition and self-transcendence, not becoming the "traffic star" in the eyes of some people. The actions of Zheng Qinwen dissolving fan groups and badminton players unfollowing are precisely to get rid of this interference and regain that pure competitive spirit. So, what if Sun Yingsha wins the gold medal at the Paris Olympics? It can be foreseen that the scene will be jubilant. People will applaud and cheer for her, as if the whole world is celebrating this glorious moment. This contrast makes people can't…
