In the sport of table tennis, which is hailed as the national game, every athlete, coach, and manager carries the hopes and dreams of countless people. In today's table tennis world, there is one name that seems to be closely linked with these expectations and dreams - Liu Guoliang, Chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association and First Vice President of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). Recently, Liu Guoliang has been facing a difficult period in his career. As the Chairman of WTT (World Table Tennis Corporation), his every move is closely watched. However, some new policies introduced by WTT have not entirely won the favor of athletes and fans. These policies have sparked controversy and subjected Liu Guoliang to criticism from some fans. At the same time, the General Administration of Sport is vigorously rectifying fan culture, and as a top performer in the sports world, the national table tennis team has naturally been drawn into this. In this process, Liu Guoliang unexpectedly became the focus of some public opinion, being pointed out as the "mastermind" behind the proliferation of fan culture. This undoubtedly added immense pressure on him and made him a focal figure in the storm of the table tennis world. However, when we delve deeper into Liu Guoliang's contributions to the table tennis arena, we find that these criticisms are not enough to overshadow his remarkable achievements. Since Liu Guoliang took office as the First Vice President of the ITTF, he has achieved significant success in promoting table tennis. He has not only worked to…

Recently, the crackdown on fan culture chaos in the sports world by the General Administration of Sport has become a focal point of attention. Athletes such as Wang Chuqin have actively cooperated in disbanding their fan groups, and against this backdrop, the merits and demerits of Liu Guoliang's role in the development of the national table tennis team have sparked intense discussions and in-depth scrutiny. The national table tennis team's feat of sweeping five gold medals at the Paris Olympics is undoubtedly a significant achievement in the history of Chinese sports. During his tenure as head coach, Liu Guoliang led the team with remarkable coaching skills and tactical arrangements, forging numerous glorious moments and making indelible contributions to the enduring success of China's table tennis. However, after assuming the position of chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, the situation subtly changed. Some argue that the team began experiencing internal attrition during this period, with hidden crises undermining its strength behind the achievements. Taking the "three golden flowers" of the women's team—Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Chen Meng—as examples, we can clearly discern the issues at hand. Sun Yingsha, endowed with exceptional talent and superior skills, should have shone even brighter on the court, but was swept into an excessive hype vortex due to the implementation of a grand marketing plan. The over-marketing packaged her as a champion, burdening her with heavy psychological pressure before she had truly reached that level. In the Olympic women's singles final, after a crushing performance in the first game, she experienced mental breakdowns in…

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…

Official Arrest! The Largest Official Position in China's Sports World to Date, Liu Guoliang and Cai Zhenhua Deeply Affected For the sake of wealth, people die; for the sake of food, birds perish.‌ From the Chinese men's football team to the men's basketball team, many people have been scolded by fans for years due to personal relationships and interests. Behind this, anti-corruption work in the sports world has become a top priority. On May 30th, after the news broke that Gou Zhongwen, the director of the General Administration of Sport of China, was under investigation, people began to pay close attention to the changes in China's sports world. Now, the case of Gou Zhongwen's investigation has finally come to a conclusion! On December 12th, Gou Zhongwen was "double-opened," and just a few days later, he was formally arrested. His downfall can be described as a mixed bag of joy and sorrow for different parties. The official report exposed his crimes, revealing even more thoroughly the series of vile actions he had committed in the past, especially these four major operations that caused chaos in the entire Chinese sports world, deeply affecting Liu Guoliang and Cai Zhenhua! It was astonishing that Gou Zhongwen could become the director of the General Administration of Sport of China because, before that, almost all the paths he had taken were related to various information research and engineering, with no connection to sports at all. However, he also relied on his abilities to rise step by step, becoming one of the "candidates" for the director of…

Recently, several athletes and coaches from the Chinese badminton team have disbanded their fan groups, drawing significant public attention. This move has been widely supported by public opinion, with some netizens asking, "When will the national table tennis team disband their fan groups?" The national table tennis team responded quickly and quietly, with Wang Chuqin dissolving his own fan group. Why did multiple national badminton athletes and Wang Chuqin dissolve their fan groups within a short period of time? This time, there seems to be a consensus among all parties to crack down on the fan circle culture. The last "message" left by the national badminton athletes before dissolving their fan groups On January 14th, at the special meeting on ideological work in the sports bureau system and the governance of the "fan circle" chaos, Gao Zhidan, director and party secretary of the General Administration of Sport, pointed out that the governance of the "fan circle" chaos should be treated as an urgent task to be seized and implemented. Of course, this is not the first time the General Administration of Sport has publicly stated its intention to severely rectify the fan circle culture. As early as May last year, the General Administration of Sport expressed at the national sports publicity and culture conference that the national sports system will resolutely resist the erosion of the distorted "fan circle culture" in the field of sports throughout the process. It was also emphasized at the meeting that the chaos in the "fan circle" is extremely detrimental to the healthy growth of…

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…

Cracked the Case! Why Does Liu Guoliang Favor Sun Yingsha? Understanding Her Relationship with Wang Chuqin Reveals the Secret Recently, everyone has been discussing Liu Guoliang's preference for Sun Yingsha. I've been thinking about it for a while and finally figured out the reason. Speaking of Sun Yingsha, she is truly the queen of our table tennis world! Look at her performance in the Paris Olympics, whether in singles or mixed doubles, her level is simply amazing. Her heroic appearance and her ball style that sweeps like a rainbow have made everyone admire her. You know, to perform so outstandingly in such a big competition is not something just anyone can do. Let's talk about her partnership with Wang Chuqin, which is even more eye-catching. Look at them in the mixed doubles match, their cooperation is so perfect, they are simply a match made in heaven! Sun Yingsha is already a master herself, and with Wang Chuqin, this formidable opponent, when opponents see the two of them standing in front of the table, their legs probably go weak. This pair, whether attacking or defending, performs flawlessly, and finally work together to advance all the way to the championship. How could such a super combination not be valued by Coach Liu? Do you remember the quarterfinals of the mixed doubles event at the Paris Olympics? That game was really suspenseful! Facing the strong attack of the Korean team, the two of them were once in trouble and even overtaken in points by their opponents. Seeing that the situation was not good,…

Recently, the sports news has been incredibly lively! A revelation from journalist He Xiaolong has directly pushed the Table Tennis and Badminton Center into the limelight. It's said that Wang Tao is about to take over as director! As soon as this news came out, many people began to speculate whether Liu Guoliang was going to be "out of office"? Even more attention-grabbing is whether this might mean a greater chance for Fan Zhendong to return to the national table tennis team? First, don't get too excited yet. We need to clarify that this Wang Tao is not the familiar legendary Wang Tao from the national table tennis team; she is the director of the Handball and Baseball Softball Center, a strong woman! It's said that she led her team to achieve good results at the Paris Olympics, which is a solid "record of military exploits"! So, what changes will this new director bring to the national table tennis team? That's really hard to say. In my opinion, the most critical issue here is the relationship between the Table Tennis and Badminton Center and the Table Tennis Association. You may not know, but the Table Tennis Association has been quite "independent" in recent years, with a somewhat "dysfunctional" relationship with the Table Tennis and Badminton Center. Think about it, the charter of the Badminton Association always mentions the superior administrative organ, but the charter of the Table Tennis Association is quite "domineering," as if to say: I am the boss, no one can manage me! Therefore, if Wang Tao really…

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…

As a seasoned commentator who has been following the sports circle for many years, I must say that the rumors I've seen in the past two days are both amusing and perplexing. This all started with He Xiaolong's Weibo post saying, "I think he has already been fired." As an old friend of the sports circle, I know that He Xiaolong always speaks passionately. However, this time he targeted Liu Guoliang, which really stunned everyone. But CCTV Sports Channel quickly responded with action - not only was Liu Guoliang not fired, but he also detailed the blueprint for the national table tennis team's next four years on the program. This dispelled those rumors. Honestly, after seeing Liu Guoliang's plan, I'm quite excited. Starting from the new cycle in 2025, the national table tennis team will vigorously cultivate newcomers! That's a great move. Just look at our national table tennis lineup to understand how wise this decision is. Ma Long is talking about retiring, Fan Zhendong is still undecided about playing until the Paris Olympics. On the women's side, Chen Meng is also nearing the age to consider retirement. In my opinion, Liu Guoliang is preparing for the future. Looking at the world table tennis scene, how young is Japan's Matsushima Koki? Isn't Tomokazu Ishihara also a young player? If we want our national table tennis team to continue to dominate, we have to take the step of cultivating new players. You may not know, but I just chatted with some industry friends the other day. They all say that the…
