Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin's names are always closely linked in the hearts of fans. Sun Yingsha refers to Wang Chuqin as a trusted partner and close friend, but rumors of their romance continue to circulate, with fans speculating wildly at every new clue. Recently, Wang Chuqin's visit to the Universal Studios theme park has become a hot topic among fans. Following this, Sun Yingsha changed her phone case to a limited-edition panda design from Universal Studios, a detail that was keenly observed by many fans who speculated that it might be a couple's item gifted by Wang Chuqin. As these rumors escalated, Sun Yingsha chose to change her phone case directly, seemingly using this action to express her stance. Shortly after, Wang Chuqin appeared at an annual award ceremony on a social media platform, dressed in attire worth over a million yuan, once again becoming the focus of public discussion. However, surprisingly, just before the award ceremony, there was a drastic change in Wang Chuqin's social media follow list, which shrank from over 180 people to only 18, almost all male teammates and coaches from the national table tennis team. Wang Chuqin unfollowed Sun Yingsha, leading fans to speculate about changes in their relationship. What is the truth behind this? Firstly, considering the individuals unfollowed, Wang Chuqin not only unfollowed all his female national table tennis teammates but also included actresses and well-known figures in the table tennis field he previously followed. Therefore, it is difficult to interpret this behavior simply as "unfollowing Sun Yingsha to dispel romance rumors."…

Recently, the well-known media personality He Xiaolong has continuously criticized the national table tennis team, targeting the head of the national table tennis team Liu Guoliang, as well as the two major traffic stars promoted by the national table tennis team, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin. Today, He Xiaolong unleashed his criticism again, criticizing some of Liu Guoliang's practices and ridiculing the combination of Sha and Tou, believing that by embracing a big leg, they are actually puppets on strings, and Fan Zhendong and Zhang Jike were not selected because they are uncontrollable. He Xiaolong pointed out that the main problem with the table tennis fan circle is not how crazy the fans are, but that the marketing of the national table tennis team is subverting the normal competitive order. He jokingly calls it the "sales champion culture," where the sales champion designated by the leader enjoys unlimited glory, while the true strength players are left in the corner. In He Xiaolong's view, the sales champion should have been Fan Zhendong or Zhang Jike. Fan Zhendong has such a good foundation in results, and it would be more stable for the national table tennis team to promote him, but the problem lies in the fact that Fan Zhendong obviously cannot become Liu Guoliang's puppet on strings. "Because in this plan, the sales champion's performance must be used for my benefit, and the sales champion must listen to me and follow my orders, so I can't promote Fan Zhendong; if he doesn't listen, all my efforts will be in vain." As…

Today is a truly heartbreaking news, the once glorious table tennis world, but also to face the storm of high-level changes! Liu Guoliang is likely to lose his position as the director of the Pingyu Center, which is really sighing. As a former national table tennis general, Liu Guoliang not only won countless honors for China on the court, but also an important figure behind the scenes to promote the development of national table tennis and national badminton. Now, with the possible rise of the new headmaster Wang Tao, the field of table tennis and badminton is about to enter a new era. The stay or leave of Liu Guoliang naturally touches the hearts of countless fans. As a championship coach, Liu Guoliang's influence in the field of table tennis is unparalleled. Recent signs show that he is facing pressure from all sides. Perhaps because of some management failures, or because of the strategic adjustments of the new leadership, Liu Guoliang's position is already precarious. Such a situation makes people feel regretful, but also can't help but reflect, as an excellent coach, do you really have to bear such great pressure and responsibility? Wang Tao, as Liu Guoliang's successor, although with a profound background, it is still difficult to escape the doubts from the outside world. As a former table tennis strategist, Wang Tao has achieved many remarkable achievements. Whether he can quickly adapt to the new position and lead Chinese table tennis to meet new challenges remains to be seen. After all, the work of the Pingyu Center is…

In an order from the General Administration of Sport, we learned of a remarkable piece of news: the former director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center, Yang Xinli, has been reassigned to the position of Director of the General Administration's Training Bureau, leaving a vacancy for the new head of the center. This change has not only attracted widespread attention within and outside the table tennis world but also filled people with anticipation and speculation about the future of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center. A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and although various versions of the new head's identity have circulated among the public, it remains a mystery. However, recent reports suggest that Wang Tao, the deputy director of the National Small Ball Center and a legendary figure in the national table tennis team, may become the new head of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center. This news will undoubtedly cause a sensation in the table tennis world. Looking back, Liu Guoliang, as a legendary figure in the table tennis world, has always been considered a strong candidate for the directorship of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center. Not only is he the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, but he is also a symbol of the national team, earning widespread acclaim and respect for his outstanding leadership skills and work achievements. However, after Yang Xinli took over as the director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center, Liu Guoliang's path to promotion seemed to be temporarily put on hold. Despite this, he…

Recently, Fan Zhendong, the men's singles champion and Grand Slam winner of the Paris Olympics, was asked whether he would participate in the next Olympics during an event. He expressed that he indeed needs to think about it carefully. When discussing his future plans, Fan Zhendong believes: Honestly, this Olympics (referring to the 2024 Paris Games) left me exhausted and fatigued. In the end, I achieved such results (men's team gold + men's singles gold), which I feel is quite lucky. In 2024, I felt like I participated in a bustling Olympics in Paris, where I experienced the charm of the Olympics, gained everyone's support, and understood the meaning of fighting for the country. Now, with these matters coming to a close, I need to better reflect and settle down. This includes thinking about how I can become better and what I can bring to Chinese sports or society, moving in this direction. This is roughly my plan for the future. It can be seen from this dialogue that Fan Zhendong has not given a clear answer as to whether he will participate in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, but there seems to be a tendency that he probably will not participate. Firstly, Fan Zhendong has already won the Olympic singles gold medal and even the Grand Slam, only one singles gold medal away from a double Grand Slam. Therefore, he has already established himself in terms of honor, leaving little room for further improvement. Secondly, given the tense situation with the International Table Tennis Federation, World Table Tennis Federation,…

"Once criticized, now praised - what does this change in attitude signify?" Zhang Jike's recent evaluation of Wang Chuqin has ignited a storm of discussion. Known for his straightforwardness in the table tennis world as the "Tibetan Mastiff," why has his opinion of the younger generation changed so drastically in just a few months? The conversation ranges from competition to mentality and on to heritage, striking at the heart of the matter, no wonder it has sparked a frenzy of online discussion. If one word were to describe Zhang Jike's career, it would be "ups and downs." From winning both singles and team championships at the 2012 London Olympics to being plagued by injuries in the latter half of his career, his story is as thrilling as a roller coaster. It is precisely this experience of "climbing from the depths to the peak" that has made Zhang Jike an inspiring idol in the hearts of countless fans. After retiring, his life did not return to calm. On the contrary, he quickly seized the pulse of the flow, becoming a brand spokesperson, internet celebrity, and table tennis coach. In live streams, he is humorous and witty; in online courses, he imparts his knowledge generously. His successful transformation not only proves the limitless possibilities for athletes after retirement but also provides a clear career path for those who follow. Some even jokingly say, "The Tibetan Mastiff has transformed into a versatile talent, busier than when he was playing!" Compared to Zhang Jike's "spectacular" career, Wang Chuqin's professional trajectory appears more "low-key and…

In today's Chinese sports world, the national table tennis team undoubtedly stands as the most prominent presence. However, accompanying this prominence are controversies that have been brewing. As the ancient saying goes, "Blessings may hide misfortunes, and misfortunes may harbor blessings." The immense attention on the national table tennis team has brought glory but also spawned numerous troubles, particularly in the erosion caused by fan culture. Since Fan Zhendong's opposition to the WTT's overbearing clauses at the end of last year, the national table tennis team and WTT have been embroiled in a whirlpool of public opinion. Subsequent developments have further plunged the national table tennis team into the mire of fan culture chaos. On January 14th, the General Administration of Sport made it an urgent task to govern the chaos of fan culture, with the Chinese Table Tennis Association being the only association required to participate in the discussion. This fact undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the national table tennis team, making their situation particularly awkward when compared to the success of other associations in delineating boundaries between athletes and fans. Taking Wang Chuqin as an example, his situation within fan culture is simply out of control. Even when his calligraphy of the character "Fu" was ridiculed, his fans would go to great lengths to defend him, finding far-fetched reasons such as claiming it was modeled after Ouyang Xun's work. This irrational behavior of defending him is a typical characteristic of fan culture. Looking back at the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the phenomenon of fan culture in Chinese table tennis…

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…

Recently, the vacancy of the position of the director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center has sparked numerous speculations and discussions. Liu Guoliang from the Table Tennis Association and Zhang Jun from the Badminton Association were originally considered potential successors due to their profound influence and professional management capabilities in their respective fields. However, the reality is much more complicated. Liu Guoliang is indeed facing many challenges at present. Famous journalists such as Du Liyan and He Xiaolong have exposed many events related to the national table tennis team, putting Liu Guoliang at the forefront of public opinion. As the saying goes: "When water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes." This is also true in the sports world, where excessive exposure and questioning can lead to unexpected troubles. In particular, the doubts raised by famous journalist He Xiaolong, against the backdrop of the General Administration's efforts to rectify the fan culture, the badminton players have responded positively by disbanding their fan groups, while the table tennis team seems to have only slogans and lacks concrete follow-up actions. In contrast, the lagging response of the table tennis team to new requirements stands out even more. Moreover, He Xiaolong further exposed many matters between Liu Guoliang and WTT, and these incidents continue to pile up, causing Liu Guoliang's reputation to be damaged to a certain extent. At such a sensitive time, his image issues are likely to become a key factor hindering him from taking on the role of the director of the Table Tennis and…

Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the world rankings has really been a source of concern for fans. Everyone is worried that he might not be able to participate in the next Los Angeles Olympics. After all, according to the rules of the world rankings, once a player withdraws, they basically say goodbye to national team competitions. Considering the selection rules of the previous Paris Olympics, where the top two singles players from each country's world ranking could automatically qualify for the Olympic singles event, Fan Zhendong's withdrawal seems to have given up many opportunities. However, just as fans were anxiously waiting, Liu Guoliang provided some reassurance in his latest interview. He said that although Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng have withdrawn from the world rankings, if necessary, they can still participate in competitions as wildcard players. This has reignited hope among fans, who now believe that Fan Zhendong still has a chance to compete in the Los Angeles Olympics. During a recent live broadcast event, Fan Zhendong also responded again to the question of whether he will participate in the next Los Angeles Olympics and announced two decisions regarding his future plans. During the live broadcast, the host directly asked Fan Zhendong, "Now that the last Paris Olympics are over, what are your plans for your career? Will you continue to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics?" Fan Zhendong's response was similar to before. He said that he had invested so much in this Paris Olympics that he was mentally and physically exhausted. Therefore, he now needs more time to think…
