The recent announcement of the Singapore Grand Slam list has caused quite a stir! Notably absent from the men's table tennis roster is Fan Zhendong, the reigning Olympic singles champion and Super Grand Slam winner. This decision comes as a surprise, especially considering Fan Zhendong's consistent performance following his victory at the Paris Olympics. Whether it be the national championships or the China Table Tennis Super League (CTTSL), his form has been impeccable, with an undefeated record in the CTTSL that earned him the nickname "Steady as a Mountain." The absence of Fan Zhendong from such an important event raises questions about whether he has been sidelined or if there are other reasons at play. There are rumors of significant internal debate within the national team regarding Fan Zhendong's return. Some coaches believe that his presence might limit opportunities for younger players, while others argue that without him, the team's overall competitiveness could suffer. Liu Guoliang, caught in the middle, faces a difficult decision. Some speculate that the decision to exclude Fan Zhendong may be related to his personal development considerations, not wanting to be entirely controlled by the national team's arrangements. This revelation sparked intense online discussion, with opinions divided between those who view it as a betrayal and those who support the right to pursue one's dreams. Despite the controversy, many fans express disappointment at Fan Zhendong's omission from the list. The focus on training newcomers seems to be overshadowed by the inclusion of more experienced players like Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, and Zhou…

Recently, the most focused event in the world table tennis arena is naturally the announcement by Paris Olympics men's singles and women's singles champions Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng to withdraw from the world rankings. Now, with the public response from the World Table Tennis Federation (WTT) and Fan Zhendong, the incident has further escalated. Interestingly, the WTT and Fan Zhendong have different opinions. It seems that one side is not reasonable, but judging from the attitude of the fans, the majority are supporting Fan Zhendong. Just a few days ago, Olympic champion Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng suddenly announced publicly at different times on the same day that they would withdraw from the world rankings. This immediately became a hot search topic, attracting attention and discussion. In his statement, Fan Zhendong said, "Recently, WTT introduced a new rule that fines players for not participating in events. I am unable to bear it but still respect the international organization, so I can only choose to withdraw from the world rankings for now. According to the requirements of the International Table Tennis Federation and the Chinese Table Tennis Association, I have submitted a report this week." Shortly after Fan Zhendong made his public announcement, Chen Meng also issued a public statement: "Recently, WTT introduced a new rule that fines players for withdrawing from events. Due to my current physical condition, I cannot withstand the intensity of each high-level event. Out of respect for the international organization, I signed the documents on Monday and ultimately decided to withdraw from the world rankings."…

Fan Zhendong withdraws from world rankings, suspected reasons exposed, ultimately unable to avoid it. Netizens hotly debated and pointed out incisively and vividly that the Chinese table tennis team always gives the opportunity to compete to the first few newcomers they are promoting, while veterans like Xiaopang (Fan Zhendong) and Chen Meng, who are Olympic champions with commercial value, rest and recuperate. As a result, the newcomers' rankings are artificially inflated, but this does not benefit the healthy development of events and harms the commercial economic development of WTT, so they started to impose fines. From the Busan World Table Tennis Team Championships against South Korea, where he single-handedly scored two points, to the Paris Olympics where he guarded the entire zone alone, it was all thanks to Xiaopang's efforts that saved the glory of the national table tennis team. Undoubtedly, this year's best should be Xiaopang. So what can be done? Either force participation, but you cannot disobey orders or play passively, so it's better to just quit. After all, if you're not allowed to play, it saves you from being fined. It is obvious that this is targeting the Chinese team's recent widespread withdrawals from competitions. Not participating in competitions and giving other countries opportunities is not enough; it seems that table tennis players will have a hard time surviving if this continues. There will definitely be more withdrawals in the future, not just Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng. Such a great top athlete has been forced to reluctantly withdraw from the rankings. He must truly love the…

Fan Zhendong's announcement to withdraw from the world rankings is undoubtedly a shockwave in the table tennis community. Imagine, this individual who has been firmly seated as the "ceiling" of the national table tennis team suddenly steps down—aren't we handing a knife to our opponents? It's not an exaggeration to say that this event has an impact on the Chinese national table tennis team, the international table tennis community, and even the entire competitive landscape, akin to an "earthquake." Firstly, let's talk about the mentality of foreign association players. To them, Fan Zhendong is an "insurmountable mountain." Especially Japan's Tomokazu Harimoto, his "fear" of Fan Zhendong is almost written all over his face, having publicly stated more than once that "he can't be beaten." Without Fan Zhendong as a formidable opponent, wouldn't foreign association players instantly relax? It's like when the top student doesn't participate in the college entrance examination; even if there are other outstanding students in the class, it's not as nerve-wracking anymore. Once the opponents regain their confidence, the pressure on the Chinese team will undoubtedly increase. Previously, "opponents only sought to win one game," but now it might turn into "opponents aiming for the championship." Looking at the internal situation of the national table tennis team, the pressure is entirely on their own shoulders. Fan Zhendong is not only a core member but also a stabilizing force. With such a "bug on the court" gone, other players must step up to carry the weight. However, talent at Fan Zhendong's level isn't something that can be cultivated…

Before 2024 is Over, "Big Melons" from Various Circles Keep Coming, Videos and Private Photos of Incidents Keep Leaking Introduction Recently, paparazzi have been rampant, as if trying to meet their year-end targets. The well-kept secret of Uncle Gem's detention was exposed, and the image of Zhao Lusi, seriously ill and sitting in a wheelchair, has been meticulously scrutinized. However, none of these can compare to the one who had a night out with three women over eight days! 01 Former national football player Li Tie was sentenced to 20 years, which many of you may have heard about. The former director of China's General Administration of Sport, Gou Zhongwen, was also officially arrested, which you should all be aware of. Today, let's talk about something different! Recently, table tennis players Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng announced their withdrawal from the world rankings. This caused a stir among fans, who were furious and had mixed opinions. According to their explanation, they "couldn't bear" the new WTT rule: no participation means a fine. Indeed. After all, as top ten seed players in the world, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng had just won the singles titles at the Paris Olympics respectively. However, according to WTT regulations, if the two do not participate in the agreed competitions, they will be fined $5,000 based on their current ranking! Such "tyrannical teasing" is really hard to handle. However, with Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal, it seems there are deeper "secrets." Otherwise, Zhang Jike wouldn't have come out in support. But no matter what, the…

Chen Meng has officially withdrawn from the WTT world rankings, and she is not the first to announce her withdrawal; Fan Zhendong had already done so before her. Why did they withdraw from the world rankings? Simply put, WTT has introduced new regulations that not only assign a score of 0 for missing a match but also impose fines. For someone like Chen Meng, with her world ranking, missing a single match incurs a penalty of $5,000. Such hefty fines have left Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng feeling unable to bear the cost, as both were still recovering from their participation in the recently concluded Paris Olympics and were not yet physically prepared for competition. As a result, they had no choice but to withdraw from the world rankings; otherwise, they would face significant financial penalties for each missed event. Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong have both expressed their inability to shoulder the fines, which has drawn attention from many fans to the prize money earned by table tennis athletes. Taking Chen Meng as an example, who has withdrawn, how much is her annual WTT prize money? Unlike tennis, where prize money can easily reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, the highest prize money for the women's singles champion at the WTT annual finals is just 40,000,whichisthehighestsingleprizemoneythroughouttheyear.Othergrandslameventsoffer40,000, which is the highest single prize money throughout the year.

Recently, the Chinese National Table Tennis Team has been trending on hot searches due to the withdrawal of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, attracting widespread attention and heated discussion. The exit of these two top players appears to be for personal reasons, but in reality, it has brought to light a series of complex issues, with the most notable being the doubts surrounding Liu Guoliang as the head of WTT and chairman of the Table Tennis Association. The direct reason for Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal is the new regulations introduced by WTT, which stipulate that players who do not participate in competitions will face a fine of $5,000 each time. For athletes like Chen Meng, after deducting various expenses from their hard-earned income over a year, there is hardly anything left, making it impossible for them to bear such high fines. Therefore, they chose to withdraw from the competition to avoid financial losses. However, this decision has plunged Liu Guoliang into a whirlpool of public opinion. As the head of WTT and chairman of the Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang undoubtedly bears an inescapable responsibility for the introduction of the new rules. This has led many fans to question his decisions, with some even believing that he is forcing Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng into retirement. With the continuous fermentation of public opinion, Liu Guoliang has faced unprecedented pressure, and rumors have emerged that he may resign as chairman of the Table Tennis Association. Faced with such doubts and rumors, Liu Guoliang's future is indeed full of uncertainty.…

Recently, Fan Zhendong openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the new rules of WTT, drawing widespread attention from Chinese fans. Unable to bear the new rule that fines athletes for not participating in competitions, Fan Zhendong chose to withdraw from the world rankings but will not retire! This means that he will still participate in domestic competitions in the future, but he will definitely not play in international competitions. Why did he choose to withdraw from the international rankings? Because WTT is purely profiting from the health of the athletes, with an overly dense schedule and punishment for non-participation, which is very unfair to the athletes! The current chairman of WTT is Liu Guoliang, who has pushed for a commercial nature of the competition system under WTT that scores higher than the nine major events, forcing athletes who want to obtain international rankings to frequently compete, willingly exploited by WTT. Of course, if Liu Guoliang's only significant initiative was the reform of WTT, it might not have been enough to make Fan Zhendong decide to quit. The real catalyst for Fan Zhendong's split with Liu Guoliang is actually the fan culture surrounding the national table tennis team! In the past, Liu Guoliang promoted the fan culture of the national table tennis team mainly to promote table tennis! After all, table tennis is a niche sport with limited commercial value worldwide; since it is difficult to break through offline, they turned to online platforms, using short videos to market various topics, creating personal IPs for athletes, and thus gaining more attention for…

Focus on sports news and pay attention to the inside and outside of the stadium.‌ Recently, the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) announced a series of new penalty regulations targeting non-participating players, which immediately sparked extensive discussions and attention in the table tennis world. Among them, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, two leading figures in the national table tennis team and Paris Olympic men's and women's singles champions, both expressed strong dissatisfaction with this and officially announced their withdrawal from the world rankings, taking concrete action to challenge the new ITTF regulations. The actions of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng immediately caused a stir among fans and the media. As we all know, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng are both pillar players in today's national table tennis team, representing the top male and female singles players respectively. Fan Zhendong became another Grand Slam winner after Ma Long at the Paris Olympics, while Chen Meng completed the feat of winning two consecutive Olympic women's singles titles, becoming the third female player to do so after Deng Yaping and Zhang Yining, and her historical status has also rapidly risen. Some fans believe that despite not yet being a Grand Slam winner, Chen Meng's honor of winning two consecutive Olympic singles titles is enough to overshadow everything, and her status in the history of women's table tennis is enough to rank in the top five or even top three. Indeed, for table tennis, the Olympic singles champion is the ultimate goal and the most important honor. In comparison, the weight of the World…

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…
