Recently, behind the increasingly fierce competition for the women's team Olympic selection spots, there has also been a distribution of internal interests. With Li Sun personally intervening to change the Olympic selection rules and rejecting Wang Yidi, the internal contradictions of the national women's table tennis team seem to have surfaced. In the eyes of fans, Li Sun's official announcement that Wang Yidi was not selected is most embarrassing for Ma Lin. In the view of the outside world, the internal contradictions of the national women's table tennis team have reached a point where head coach Li Sun must speak out. During the Paris Olympic cycle, Ma Lin's selection decisions have sparked extensive discussions and controversies, especially regarding the huge controversy over "who to use between Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi," which has also led to dissatisfaction among fans and netizens. As we all know, Ma Lin attached great importance to Wang Yidi during the Paris Olympic cycle and sent her to participate in major events many times. However, Wang Yidi's record was losing seven external matches, including losing to 61-year-old Ni Xiaolian, as well as five losses to Japanese table tennis players. On the contrary, Wang Manyu has never lost to Japanese female table tennis players and remains undefeated to this day. It can be said that Japanese female table tennis players are intimidated by Wang Manyu. So why did Ma Lin insist on not sending Wang Manyu to compete against Japan in the final of the Busan team event? The head coach of the national table tennis team,…

Recently, Liu Guoliang, the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association (CTTA), announced an important decision, marking a significant change in the coaching staff of the national table tennis team (NTT). This decision not only affects the future direction of NTT but also has a profound impact on the global table tennis landscape. PART01 Li Sun, the current head coach of NTT, is about to end his coaching career. This meritorious coach has made tremendous contributions to China's table tennis. Under Li Sun's leadership, the women's team has maintained an astonishing championship rate of 92.3% over the past eight years. With the increase in age and the rise of new generation players, finding a suitable successor has become urgent. Currently, the top contenders for the replacement are mainly focused on three coaches: Wang Hao, Ma Lin, and Xiao Zhan. All three are excellent coaches cultivated within NTT, each with their own strengths. Wang Hao: As the head coach of the men's team, Wang Hao has achieved remarkable results in nurturing newcomers. Under his guidance, young players like Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin have quickly grown and shown strong potential. Wang Hao's coaching style emphasizes tactical innovation. At the 2022 Houston World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese men's team defeated the German team with a decisive score of 3:0, fully demonstrating his coaching ability. Ma Lin: During his tenure as the head coach of the women's team, Ma Lin demonstrated outstanding management skills. Under his leadership, new generation female players such as Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha rapidly emerged, achieving generational…

Recently, the well-known media personality He Xiaolong has been using various ways to satirize and mock the national table tennis team. This afternoon, he released new work again. This time, he issued ten table tennis IQ test questions, satirizing the hot topics in the fan circle of the national table tennis team. Nearly half of them are related to Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, and the last one is the most shocking, which is actually about the topic of Liu Guoliang and Li Sun's involvement in gambling. The ten table tennis IQ test questions posted by He Xiaolong include: Sha Tou is a couple; 2. That racket was deliberately destroyed; 3. Sun Yingsha lost the women's singles final at the Olympics to protect the men's team; 4. Olympic triathlon is ox and horse; 5. Wang Chuqin can still keep his Xian Nongtan system after retirement; 6. If the referee does not make a decision, there is no blocking; 7. The table tennis circle is more transparent than the football circle; 8. The chaos in the fan circle is because their cheering is too loud; 9. Chinese table tennis cannot do without Liu Guoliang; 10. Kong Linghui and Zhang Jike like gambling, but Liu Guoliang and Li Sun do not gamble at all. From these ten questions, the answers are obviously negative, or they have been denied by He Xiaolong before. He Xiaolong uses this way to satirize some naive and low-level opinions around the national table tennis team. The first one, Sha Tou is a couple, although the national table…

Translation of the article content into English: Li Sun officially announced that six young players will take over the national table tennis team, with Chen Meng and Ma Long being replaceable by two new players, and Liu Guoliang also supports this decision. In particular, the main players who have recently achieved consecutive victories are set to take over the national table tennis team for the Paris Olympics. There is no problem with this, as all six players have won in the WTT Mascot regular challenge match, making it a natural succession. For the men's national table tennis team, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Wang Chuqin are currently facing challenges. Ma Long may find it difficult to compete in the next Olympics, and Fan Zhendong has also mentioned the need to replace older players with younger ones. Therefore, only Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong remain capable of participating, leaving one important spot that must be given to a young player. Currently, the three male players Chen Yuanyu, Yuan Licen, and Huang Youzheng have all achieved three consecutive victories. One of them will be selected to take over as the main player for the next Olympics! At present, Yuan Licen seems to have a greater chance, as everyone knows that he has already proven himself, but has only recently been given the opportunity. In the WTT Mascot regular challenge match, Chen Yuanyu first defeated Cai Junjie from the Hong Kong team with a score of 3-1. Then, Yuan Licen delivered a 3-1 victory over Yu Henggui, followed by Huang Youzheng securing a…

For many fans of the Chinese national table tennis team, the "Twin Stars Era" led by Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui, as well as the "Three Musketeers Era" dominated by Ma Long, Xu Xin, and Zhang Jike, are two periods of great fame for the national team. However, even famous national players have their dark sides. It means that while the "Twin Stars" and "Three Musketeers" did usher in a new era, there were also national players who strayed from the right path. Among the Twin Stars, Kong Linghui, known as the "Prince of Table Tennis," was one who went astray; among the Three Musketeers, it was Zhang Jike who bore the brunt of criticism. Zhang Jike's scandals are not discussed here, but suffice it to say that he has now fallen to the point of coaching at a private club. On the other hand, Xu Xin and Ma Long of the Three Musketeers have promising futures and developments. Kong Linghui of the Twin Stars, however, became a pariah due to accumulating huge gambling debts. Gradually disappearing from the sports world, if not for older fans, few people would have a deep impression of the name Kong Linghui. The time when Kong Linghui's huge gambling debt was exposed was May 2017, manifested as becoming the defendant in a lawsuit. The plaintiff in this case was Marina Bay Sands Pte.Ltd., the operating company of Singapore's Marina Bay Sands Casino. In the complaint, Marina Bay Sands mentioned that Kong Linghui borrowed 1 million Singapore dollars from the casino on February 19, 2015.…

Recently, rumors about Liu Guoliang's dismissal have suddenly become a hot topic, leaving everyone curious as to how this iron-blooded coach, who once led the Chinese table tennis team to dominate the world, has been thrust into the limelight. The story begins with a well-known journalist, He Xiaolong. He Xiaolong recently stated publicly that Liu Guoliang has not managed the Chinese table tennis team well, especially in his failure to effectively curb the phenomenon of fan culture within the team. To put it bluntly, the fervent pursuit of fans has begun to affect the training and competitions of the athletes, and some extreme behaviors have started to disrupt the normal order of the team. Can you imagine? Originally focused on practicing table tennis, these players have turned into star idols, constantly surrounded by fans, which naturally raises concerns about its potential impact on their performance. He Xiaolong further mentioned that Liu Guoliang frequently allows team members to participate in entertainment programs, a practice that has caused many problems, with some people openly criticizing Liu Guoliang…
