Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the world rankings has once again become a joke. First, Liu Guoliang responded directly to this matter: regarding whether Chen Meng, Ma Long, and Fan Zhendong can still participate in international competitions in the future? Liu Guoliang stated that based on their contributions to the national table tennis team, they can always participate in competitions with a wild card qualification. It can be said that this move is really too harsh, meaning that when the national table tennis team needs you to participate in the competition, you must come. Not coming is an expression of not loving your country. The country has invested so many resources in training you, but you do not put the honor of the country first. On the other hand, the national table tennis team has already agreed to the applications of the three, which means that the three no longer have a world ranking. When they want to participate in competitions themselves, the national table tennis team may not give them the opportunity. Therefore, Liu Guoliang's move is invincible, completely controlling the athletes. Due to the huge network public opinion caused by this incident, both WTT and the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) have now posted articles to shift responsibility onto each other. First, the official WTT account posted that the ITTF has established a special working group responsible for collecting feedback from athletes and reviewing existing regulations. They will hold a player forum at the end of the month during the WTT Singapore Grand Slam to provide…

Heavyweight! Xinhua News Agency interprets Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the World Ranking: Basically equivalent to retirement! The Internet is in an uproar The heat surrounding the withdrawal of three Olympic champions, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long, from the world rankings continues unabated! Recently, Xinhua News Agency interpreted the withdrawal of the three Olympic champions from the world rankings, stating that their decision is basically equivalent to retirement. This has sparked heated discussions and attention from fans and media. The main reason for the withdrawal of the three Olympic champions from the world rankings is the new rule that fines players for not participating in competitions, which is unacceptable. Ma Long, who is already 36 years old, is also at the end of his career! In this situation, Ma Long certainly cannot participate in all competitions like young players. Therefore, he was the first Olympic champion to decide to withdraw from the world rankings due to the WTT's new rules. However, Ma Long did not officially announce it through social media. Fan Zhendong was the first to make an official announcement. After winning the Paris Olympics, Fan Zhendong did not appear on the stage of world competitions. He only participated in the National Championships and the China Super League. Fan Zhendong's reason was that the mental exertion during the Paris Olympics cycle was too great and needed adjustment. Chen Meng announced after Fan Zhendong. After the Paris Olympics, Chen Meng only recently participated in the Lao Wa Cup. She is also not young! The reasons for withdrawing from the…

Recently, the days of Liu Guoliang, the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, have not been easy! There are two things that Liu Guoliang's handling has not been satisfactory. What are these two things? The first is the fan culture of Chinese table tennis. This situation can be considered very serious! Fan Zhendong was blocked at the elevator entrance by fans when he participated in the first stage of the Ping Super League. Fan Zhendong expressed his dissatisfaction on social media. As a result, he was insulted by some fans. Wang Chuqin went to the hospital for treatment, and the doctor revealed Wang Chuqin's personal information. When talking about the current national table tennis team, many people are sarcastic. However, as the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang did not introduce relevant policies to combat fan culture. The second thing is that recently Fan Zhendong and three Olympic champions Chen Meng and Ma Long withdrew from the world rankings. The real reason is clear to everyone. They are dissatisfied with the new rule of WTT that they will be fined if they do not participate in the competition. Liu Guoliang is the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, and also the chairman of WTT, and the first vice-chairman of the International Table Tennis Federation. The withdrawal of the three Olympic champions from the world rankings will definitely have a great impact on the Chinese table tennis team. However, on this matter, it seems that Liu Guoliang did not consider much for the athletes of the…

Paris Glory, Peak Moments The 2024 Paris Olympics was destined to be the pinnacle of Fan Zhendong's career. At the men's singles final, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme. Fan Zhendong's eyes were like torches, pouring his years of hard work and dedication into every serve and swing. Facing strong opponents, he was unafraid and turned the tide with a 4-1 absolute advantage over Swedish player Moregard. When the last ball landed, the audience erupted in excitement. Fan Zhendong knelt down in excitement. At this moment, he achieved the grand slam dream. Years of hard work and persistence were beautifully rewarded. In the stands, his mentor Wang Hao also had tears in his eyes, rushing into the court at the first opportunity to tightly embrace Fan Zhendong. That deep kiss was the culmination of years of teacher-student affection and filled with pride for his disciple's achievements. Fan Zhendong then imitated Mbappe's celebration, fully displaying his youthful vitality and showing the world the personal side of the national table tennis players. In the men's team final, Fan Zhendong teamed up with his teammates again. They cooperated well, executed tactics perfectly, and made their way through the competition. In key matches, Fan Zhendong, as the core force, relied on his super psychological quality and exquisite ball skills to save the situation and stabilize the team's position. In the end, the Chinese team successfully reached the top, and Fan Zhendong stood on the podium with two heavy gold medals in hand, watching the Five-starred Red Flag rise slowly. He must have been…

Here's the translation of the article content into English: Listen to me! On January 1st, Beijing time, the 2024 season of the Chinese Ping Pong Super League reached an incredibly exciting finale. In the end, the women's team trophy was joyfully claimed by Shandong Luneng, marking a successful revenge against Shenzhen University, which made Shandong Luneng ecstatic! This season, I noticed that their lineup is incredibly strong! Wang Manyu, Chen Xintong, and Qian Tianyi are all in great form and can contribute significantly to the team's score. Looking at Shenzhen University, they mainly relied on Sun Yingsha to hold the fort, but her teammates also performed quite well. Unfortunately, they were unable to secure the win in the end, which is a bit of a pity. Wow, Shandong Weiqiao emerged victorious in the men's team event with a 3-0 victory over Huangshi Base. The key to this triumph lies in the first two sets, which were fiercely competitive matches that ended with close 3-2 victories. Lin Yunju and Liang Jinkun won 3-2 against Xiang Peng and Xue Fei, while Wang Chuqin also defeated Lin Shidong with a 3-2 score. After those two sets, the situation became clear, leaving little suspense. It would be extremely difficult for Huangshi Base to make a comeback at this point. In the third set, Xue Fei lost to Liang Jinkun. If they could have won one of the first two sets, there might have been a chance. In this arena of strong competition, every game and every point is crucial. Shandong Weiqiao handled it better,…

The Shanghai team has spoken up in support of Fan Zhendong, revealing the significant sacrifices and efforts made to ensure his gold medal victory at the Paris Olympics. Despite not having a coach or sparring partner during his Olympic campaign, Fan Zhendong was able to achieve his dream of winning gold and completing his Grand Slam with the help of the Shanghai team and mentor Wang Liqin. Currently, there is controversy surrounding Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's decision to withdraw from international competitions, which led to fines and their eventual withdrawal from the events. The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) has initiated an investigation into the matter, hoping to find a resolution. The Shanghai team, Fan Zhendong's club, has come forward to voice their support, shedding light on the challenges Fan faced during the Paris Olympics. In a recent interview, Shanghai team's head coach Zhang Yang discussed his views on the situation. He mentioned that Fan Zhendong competed without a coach or sparring partner, highlighting the difficulties he encountered. In response, teammate Zhao Zihao self-funded his own training sessions with Fan Zhendong. However, due to not being part of the national table tennis plan, Zhao Zihao was often stopped at the entrance of competitions and had to purchase his own tickets to watch and support Fan Zhendong. Furthermore, the Shanghai team took on the responsibility of Fan Zhendong's logistical support, covering all expenses including on-site match tickets, accommodation, meals, and other costs. This level of care and dedication from Wang Liqin and the Shanghai team towards Fan Zhendong has been…

Recently, the Chinese table tennis world has not been calm. Top athletes such as Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng, all Olympic champions, have successively withdrawn from the world rankings, with Liu Guoliang also expressing his stance on their withdrawals. In addition to these three Olympic champions, another national table tennis Olympic champion, Xu Xin, has also had some "friction" with the 68-year-old former national table tennis world champion, Guo Yuehua, due to certain events during the China Table Tennis Super League (CTTSL). In a recent live broadcast, after responding to the topic of defending Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin once again discussed the remarks made by Guo Yuehua in a video, stating frankly that this matter is very disgusting. After the men's team semi-finals of the CTTSL, the three members of the Shanghai team—Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, and Zhou Kai—together accepted media interviews. During the interview, the media reporters almost continuously asked questions directed at Fan Zhendong, which made him somewhat unhappy. At this moment, Xu Xin decisively intervened, directly reminding the media reporters that they were a team and suggesting that everyone first interview Zhou Kai. This action was indeed warm, reflecting Xu Xin's emotional intelligence, as he defended Fan Zhendong while also taking care of Zhou Kai's feelings. Regarding his actions during the interview, Xu Xin also discussed this point in the live broadcast. He said, "During the interview, one question followed another, which is quite impactful for athletes. I noticed that Xiaopang (Fan Zhendong) didn't really want to answer, so I controlled the pace a bit…

Ma Long's eyes were filled with tears, a reflection of deep emotions. There was relief, pride, and perhaps a hint of reluctance. Witnessing Fan Zhendong's victory in the men's singles final at the Paris Olympics, overcoming pressure to defeat strong opponent Tomokazu Harimoto and claim the championship, this veteran's eyes welled up with tears. This moment was not just about celebrating a teammate's triumph but also about witnessing the continuation of the national table tennis spirit.‌ Fan Zhendong, once known as "Little Fatty" and now hailed as "Brother Dong," has embarked on a growth journey akin to an inspiring movie. We recall his early days, fresh and inexperienced, with commendable skills yet lacking stability, prone to faltering under critical circumstances. The trials of major events like the Asian Games and World Table Tennis Championships have honed him into maturity, teaching him how to handle pressure and maintain composure amidst adversity. At the Paris Olympics, Wang Chuqin's unexpected loss placed the burden of securing the men's singles title squarely on Fan Zhendong's shoulders. Facing home-court advantage for Tomokazu Harimoto and the fervent support of the French crowd, Fan Zhendong started off poorly, losing the first two points. Such a setback poses a significant psychological challenge to any athlete. However, Fan Zhendong persevered, playing steadily and inching forward point by point until he ultimately turned the tide and emerged victorious. This win was not merely a testament to technical prowess but also a victory of the mind and willpower.‌ Ma Long, the "Hexagon Warrior," boasts a legendary career. Regarded as one of…

Recently, everyone has been paying attention to Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the world rankings. At present, with the International Table Tennis Federation releasing the latest world rankings and removing the world rankings of Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng, coupled with the voice of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, this incident seems to have passed, but its impact is far from over. First of all, in many people's minds, this matter is actually Fan Zhendong fighting against Liu Guoliang. Because Liu Guoliang serves as the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association while also being the first vice-chairman of the International Table Tennis Federation and the chairman of the WTT Council. That is, Fan Zhendong's dissatisfaction with the new regulations of WTT are actually signed by Liu Guoliang. If you understand it this way, it means that Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the world rankings is almost solely directed by Liu Guoliang. After all, whether it is the International Table Tennis Federation or WTT including the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang has absolute authority. This can also explain why his teammates and coaches did not help him after Fan Zhendong spoke out. Not only that, but netizens also exposed that Wang Hao, the head coach of the Chinese men's table tennis team, unfollowed Fan Zhendong on social media, which also caused a heated discussion. Because Wang Hao's relationship with Fan Zhendong is not ordinary. They both come from the Bayi team, and Wang Hao also served as Fan Zhendong's principal coach for many years. It can be said that…
