According to reason, whether it is from the perspective of continuity in national table tennis or the interests of WTT, keeping Fan Zhendong would be a beneficial decision without any harm. However, when the World Table Tennis Federation provided an opportunity and wanted the Table Tennis Association to mediate, one sentence from 191 turned the expectation into reality. He expressed support, understanding, and respect for the decision of Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long to withdraw from the world rankings. The question then arises: as the chairman of the Table Tennis Association and the WTT board, why would 191 make such a decision that seems to have the greatest impact on him and the sport of table tennis? The answer is that Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's departure aligns more with his current interests. As for Ma Long, since he is already in his thirties, even if he does not withdraw, the impact on him would not be significant. However, there is something that doesn't make sense: if he is not considering the future of table tennis and the national team, then what is he considering? At this moment, a response suddenly appears, saying that 191 might have encountered problems recently and needed a large amount of funds to cover up the losses. Among the conditions for the Beijing team to protect him was the clause to force Fan Zhendong to retire. If not, why wouldn't he even attend the negotiation meeting for the Doha World Table Tennis Championships? Why, after the Olympics, did he only go as far…

In the sports world, the national table tennis team has always been a prominent presence. However, it has recently become embroiled in a storm of public opinion. The aftermath of the Volleyball Management Center incident has not yet subsided, and the withdrawal of players such as Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng has further complicated the situation. Liu Guoliang, the head of the national table tennis team, has also found himself at the center of public scrutiny, with many fans even calling for an investigation into the Table Tennis Association. Famous journalist He Xiaolong has played a significant role in exposing information throughout this series of events. Previously, Du Liyan reported on the head of the Henan Table Tennis Association, which was denied by the association, but this did not quell the incident. He Xiaolong then revealed that Sun Dong, the executive vice mayor of Xinxiang, Henan, was under investigation. During the 2023 Xinxiang WTT Championship, Sun Dong played a pivotal role, hosting the opening ceremony and participating in multiple press conferences as the highest-ranking local official present. Xinxiang's ability to host this event is largely attributed to the efforts of Sun Dong and Liu Guoliang. After all, Sun Dong was responsible for organizing the competition, and the fact that Xinxiang is Liu Guoliang's hometown is also considered a significant factor. "The one closest to the water gets the moon first," and from a common-sense perspective, this connection seems natural. However, with Sun Dong now under investigation, this undoubtedly casts a shadow over the entire event. Looking at the…

On January 12th, Beijing time, good news came from the Olympic champions of the national table tennis team, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Sun Yingsha. Let's take a look at their situations together! Olympic champion Fan Zhendong attended the 2024 Weibo Night award ceremony, where he won the "2024 Weibo Annual Outstanding Sports Figure" award for his achievement of winning the men's singles championship at the Paris Olympics and achieving a super grand slam. This best athlete award is indeed well-deserved for Fan Zhendong, as 2024 was an extraordinary year for him. On the podium, Fan Zhendong looked extraordinary in his tailor-made suit, and in his acceptance speech, he said, "I am very honored to receive this award, and I will take this award as a new starting point and opportunity to contribute my strength to China's sports cause in the future." He shone on the podium and was also one of the most popular among many stars off the stage, with many top entertainers and business elites vying to take photos with him, showing his great social influence. Recently, to celebrate the fifth Chinese Police Day, the Qingdao Public Security organized an open day event at the Olympic Sailing International Conference Center. Surprisingly, Qingdao native and Olympic champion Chen Meng appeared at the event. At the scene, Chen Meng transformed into a warm ambassador, not only sending blessings to all the police but also personally presenting Lao Shan Hot Cola, a specialty from Qingdao. The police were very pleasantly surprised by Chen Meng's arrival, and the event quickly turned…

Recently, the results of the China Youth May Fourth Medal were announced, with Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu successfully elected. Everyone felt that these athletes deserved it. However, the failure of Wang Chuqin and Chen Meng to be selected was somewhat unexpected. As a result, some people began to question the selection criteria, even speculating whether there were "hidden rules" involved. Regardless, this outcome also made us wonder: Is the selection really only based on achievements? Or are there other considerations? Firstly, the election of Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu is almost uncontroversial. They are almost representatives of the national table tennis team, both on and off the court. Fan Zhendong is known as a regular at the "Iron Throne" of the table tennis world, and his stable performance has allowed him to repeatedly win gold medals at the Olympics and World Championships. Especially his competitive aura, which often makes opponents feel heavy pressure, and almost no one can find a breakthrough under his powerful aura. Sun Yingsha's performance is equally astonishing. Although she failed to win gold in the women's singles final at the Paris Olympics, the gold medals she won in the mixed doubles and team events are enough to prove her strength. Currently, Sun Yingsha is already a dominant force in the women's world table tennis scene, just one step away from the grand slam. Moreover, as a star on social media platforms, her number of fans continues to rise, which is a testament to her comprehensive strength. Wang Manyu's playing style is…

The title of the article is "Bad News! ITTF Officially Announces New Rankings: National Table Tennis Loses World No. 1". The content discusses the recent changes in the international table tennis rankings, where the Chinese national team has lost its world number one position in certain categories. Despite maintaining top positions in men's and women's singles, the team has seen a decrease in the number of top ten rankings, particularly with the withdrawal of key players Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng. The article explores whether China's dominance in the sport can continue to be as stable as before. The men's singles have relied on top-level players to maintain their position, with Fan Zhendong being a core player known for his stability and dominance. However, with his withdrawal from the rankings, there is a question of who will fill the gap. Currently, Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong hold the top two spots in the men's singles, with Lin, an 18-year-old rising star, drawing attention. Young players like Lin face challenges in consistency, psychological strength, and match experience. The article also mentions the rise of competitors from Germany and Japan in the rankings, posing potential threats to China's overall stability. In women's doubles, China has lost the world number one spot to the South Korean pair of Tian Zhixi and Shin Yubin, which is concerning given China's traditional strength in doubles events. The South Korean duo's success is not by chance, with Tian being a versatile player and the pair showing great chemistry. Japanese doubles players are also improving rapidly, narrowing the…

In the sport of table tennis, which is filled with speed and passion, the arrival of each major competition always stirs the hearts of countless fans. Recently, with the announcement of the participation details for the 2025 Doha World Table Tennis Championships, a discussion about promises and reality has quietly unfolded. Do you still remember that not long ago, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng successively announced their withdrawal from the world rankings and WTT events? This decision caused a sensation in the table tennis world. As the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang stepped forward at this time. In an interview with CCTV, he expressed his respect and understanding for the decisions of the two players and made a promise that filled people with hope. "As the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, I will fully support the athletes in defending their own rights," said Liu Guoliang, his words filled with firmness and determination. He mentioned that he fully understands and respects the decisions of Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long, and at the same time, he also raised some questions about certain rules of the WTT. When CCTV reporter Li Wu asked if they could see the three of them on the international stage in the future, Liu Guoliang gave a clear answer: "Of course! With their achievements and contributions, I believe they can participate in any major event with a wild card." This statement immediately aroused a strong response among fans. Many people interpreted this as a firm commitment by Liu Guoliang to…

After Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng announced their withdrawal from the world rankings, Chairman Liu Guoliang was asked in an interview with CCTV: Can we still see these three players compete for the country in future international competitions? Liu Guoliang clearly stated: Of course, based on their achievements and contributions, I believe they can participate in any major competition with a wild card. However, less than two weeks after Liu Guoliang's statement, he was proven wrong. The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) did not give any face, although it was not explicitly stated, but Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng are likely to miss the 2025 Doha World Championships. As is well known, after Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng announced their withdrawal from the world rankings, they were unable to participate in WTT World Table Tennis Federation competitions. However, events such as the Olympics, World Championships, and World Cup differ from commercial competitions, as each association can arrange participating players according to its own circumstances, and there are also wild card spots available. It was precisely because of this that when Chairman Liu Guoliang stated in an interview that Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng could participate with a wild card, many fans believed it to be true, thinking that Chairman Liu Guoliang would really arrange for the three to represent the national team in the competition. The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is bony, and the actual situation is completely different from what Chairman Liu Guoliang said. Recently, the ITTF announced the…

National Table Tennis Role Model of Loyalty: Chen Meng Takes the Lead to Help Fan Zhendong, Sibling Affection Deep The sibling affection in the national table tennis team: Fan Zhendong challenges the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), and Chen Meng announces her withdrawal from the world rankings on the same day. What a touching display of sibling affection is this? Back when Fan Zhendong emerged as a 16-year-old prodigy, he was the youngest member of the national table tennis team and was once the team's darling, much like the current top player Wang Chuqin. At that time, Zhang Jike was the brother who doted on him the most, while Liu Shiwen and Chen Meng from the women's team were very fond of this younger brother. Now, with news of Chen Meng appearing on variety shows and recording the Spring Festival Gala being exposed, the public is increasingly seeing clearly that the 30-year-old Chen Meng has basically retired from the table tennis arena, which is not the same as the 27-year-old Fan Zhendong, who is still in his prime. In fact, Chen Meng could have chosen not to make this statement and left quietly in a relatively mild manner, which would not have offended the leaders of the national table tennis team and the World Table Tennis Corporation (WTT). However, Chen Meng is very righteous; she chose to stand with her younger brother Fan Zhendong from back then, not letting him fight alone. She understands that when two Olympic singles champions speak out together, the impact is completely different. In fact,…

Recently, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the latest world rankings, which came as a shock to Chinese fans. Among the five individual events, China holds three top spots, but has lost one world number one ranking compared to the previous period. What is going on here? What secrets lie behind this? In men's singles, Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong maintain their top two positions, with Wang Chuqin leading as expected. Lin Shidong, however, has climbed to second in the world after winning five singles titles following the Paris Olympics, including the grand slam title in China. Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan are ranked fifth and ninth, respectively. Notably, Japanese player Zhang Ben Zhihe is ranked third, followed by French player Xiaolei Lun and other European contenders. In women's singles, Sun Yingsha continues to lead, with Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, and Chen Xingtong ranking second to fourth, showcasing the strength of the national women's team. Japanese players Hina Hayata and Miyuu Higa are close behind, occupying fifth to seventh places, with competition remaining fierce. In mixed doubles, the Olympic champion pair of Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha remains firmly at the top. The Lin Shidong/Kuaiman pair ranks third, while the Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Yidi pair ranks eighth. However, there is bad news in both men's and women's doubles! In men's doubles, the French Lebrun brothers topped the world rankings after winning the year-end finals, with the Chinese pair of Xiang Peng/Yuan Licen finishing second. More shockingly, the national table tennis women's doubles pair has lost its world number one ranking! The previously leading…

Liu Guoliang's Embarrassment: Doha World Table Tennis Championships Announce Participation Rules, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng Denied Entry Do you still remember the promise Liu Guoliang made to the public after Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng officially announced their withdrawal from the world rankings and WTT events? At that time, facing public pressure, Liu Guoliang claimed that as the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, he would spare no effort to support athletes in defending their rights. He fully understood and respected the decisions of Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long. He also believed that some rules of the WTT were questionable. Most importantly, when CCTV reporter Li Wujun asked, "Can we still see them compete for the country on the international stage in the future?" Liu Guoliang clearly stated, "Of course! With their achievements and contributions, I believe they can participate in any major event with a wild card." This statement was interpreted by the public as a commitment from Liu Guoliang to Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long: as long as you are willing, you can participate in any international event with a wild card. However, surprisingly, less than a week after his statement, the Doha World Table Tennis Championships announced the participation rules and the number of players, leaving Liu Guoliang embarrassed. The 58th World Table Tennis Championships will be held in Doha, Qatar from May 17 to 25, 2025. The International Table Tennis Federation recently updated the latest news on its official website and grandly launched promotional photos featuring representatives from the five…
