Recently, the Chinese table tennis world has been in turmoil, with a series of events drawing wide attention from the sports community. From the WTT World Table Tennis League stock controversy to the downfall of local officials and the replay of controversial matches by CCTV, both Liu Guoliang, the head of the national table tennis team, and rising star Wang Chuqin have become the focus of public opinion! The anti-corruption storm in the sports world continues to intensify. The news that Sun Dong, the executive deputy mayor of Xinxiang City, is under investigation for serious violations of discipline and law, once again focuses people's attention on the WTT event operation issues. As an important official from Liu Guoliang's hometown, Sun Dong has attended many WTT event activities and served as the host of the opening ceremony of the 2023 Xinxiang WTT Championship. It is reported that Henan Province hosted as many as six international table tennis federation and WTT competitions, involving funds of hundreds of millions of yuan. The occurrence of this incident coincides with the peak period of the anti-corruption storm in the sports world. Previously, Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center, was caught after retirement, and the senior management of China Gold Group, which cooperated with WTT, was also investigated. The cumulative effect of these incidents makes people worry about Liu Guoliang's situation. At the same time, the situation of rising star Wang Chuqin is also quite dramatic. Although he has frequently topped the hot search recently and won honors such as the "May…

The Australian Open, which is receiving great attention, is in full swing. Chinese Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen won a thrilling victory over the 18-year-old Todoni in the first round of the competition. For Zheng Qinwen, this not only earned her 70 points but also a prize of 900,000 yuan. With just one match played, Zheng Qinwen has already earned 900,000 yuan. Many fans are amazed that Zheng Qinwen's income from winning one game is equivalent to what Sun Yingsha earns in half a year. Indeed, last year, Sun Yingsha, ranked first in the world in women's singles and mixed doubles in table tennis, only earned 1.71 million yuan in prize money. Let's take a look at the events Sun Yingsha participated in last year. From the beginning of last year until the Chongqing Championship before the Olympics, Sun Yingsha was almost fully present. Including the Busan Team World Table Tennis Championships, Singapore Grand Slam, Macau World Cup, Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, and Chongqing Championship, Sun Yingsha did not miss any of them. At the Paris Olympics, Sun Yingsha even competed in three events. After the Olympics, Sun Yingsha also participated in the Macau Championship, China Grand Slam, and Asian Championships. After the Asian Championships, due to injury, Sun Yingsha missed the European Frankfurt and French Championships. These were the only few events she missed. At the end of the year, Sun Yingsha also competed in the year-end finals and the Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup! However, throughout the year, Sun Yingsha only earned 1.71 million yuan in prize money. In…

Liu Guoliang Mourns the Loss of Another "Pillar" in Table Tennis, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha Bid Farewell with Fondness Recently, the table tennis family has experienced a heart-wrenching moment with the quiet departure of another "pillar" who has made significant contributions to China's table tennis cause. This news has undoubtedly caused a great shock throughout the national table tennis community. Chairman Liu Guoliang of the National Table Tennis Association choked back tears several times at the farewell ceremony, deeply reminiscing about the veteran player. As representatives of the younger generation of national table tennis, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha were also present with tears in their eyes, bidding a reluctant farewell to this former "pillar of stability." The term "pillar" not only refers to the immense contributions made by players on the court but also symbolizes a spirit. From the early days of Wang Liqin and Ma Lin to later generations like Zhang Jike and Ma Long, these names carry the glory and splendor of national table tennis. The loss of each "pillar" marks a significant loss in the history of national table tennis. This time, we bid farewell to a "veteran" who has been diligently serving within the national table tennis team for many years. He has stabilized the team in countless competitions and carried the banner of Chinese table tennis. Chairman Liu Guoliang emotionally said at the farewell ceremony, "He was the backbone of our national table tennis team. Whether on the court or during training, he set an example and became a role model for young…

Recently, the news of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng withdrawing from the international rankings has once again gathered the attention of the public, leaving a mixed feeling in everyone's hearts. In this turmoil, Liu Guoliang, the head coach of the Chinese table tennis team, has undoubtedly become the focus of public opinion. Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, as top-level athletes, their withdrawal directly affected the image and morale of the team. Many netizens questioned Liu Guoliang's coaching ability, casting a shadow over the future direction of the national table tennis team. Everyone watched these changes with bated breath, wondering what would happen to the national table tennis team? The storm of public opinion quickly swept across the entire table tennis circle. The depressed state of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng disappointed and saddened many fans, even forming a flurry of discussions on social media platforms. Some believe it was Liu Guoliang's "tactical mistake," while others speculate that the condition of the two main players is closely related to their psychological state. Indeed, Fan Zhendong's recent poor form, frequently making mistakes on the court, seems to point to the relationship between him and his coach. Many netizens expressed that the soul of the national table tennis team lies in its mental state, which is precisely the challenge for Liu Guoliang. When it comes to potential successors, Wang Liqin and Qin Zhijian have become the focus of attention. Wang Liqin has performed well in domestic and international events, with rich experience in international competitions and widespread acclaim. On the other hand, Qin…

On January 12th, Beijing time, the official website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) announced that Sun Dong, then Vice Mayor and Executive Deputy Mayor of Xinxiang City, Henan Province, was taken away for investigation on suspicion of serious violations of discipline and law. However, this news instantly exploded in the Chinese table tennis world because during his tenure, Sun had an important resume: he personally promoted and hosted the 2023 Henan Xinxiang WTT Championship. At that time, as the vice mayor, Sun not only hosted the opening ceremony of the WTT Xinxiang Championship and attended the press conference, but also presented the men's singles runner-up award to Liang Jingkun on the night of the singles final. Sun was also the highest-ranking official to attend the event during the WTT Xinxiang Championship. In addition, please continue to understand two other related messages. At that time, Wang Zhongqi, then Vice Chairman of the Henan Provincial Sports General Association and President of the Henan Provincial Table Tennis Association, and Chen Xiongwei, then Chairman of China Gold Group, attended the singles final night with Sun. Before the CCDI officially announced that Sun was under investigation for suspected serious violations of discipline and law, Wang had already been summoned and is currently being jointly investigated by two special task forces in Henan. Chen was taken away for investigation by the disciplinary department on December 25, 2024, on suspicion of serious violations of discipline and law. This is not a coincidence, but rather a main line of anti-corruption targeting the Chinese table tennis…

I've been following the national table tennis team for so many years, and I've never seen a storm like this one. He Xiaolong exploded on social media with the claim that "Liu Guoliang has been fired," immediately causing a huge stir in the sports circle. Honestly, my first reaction upon seeing this news was disbelief. Liu Guoliang had just led the national table tennis team to win multiple gold medals at the Paris Olympics, so how could he be fired so easily? However, He Xiaolong is an experienced sports journalist, so there must be some basis for what he said, right? After carefully examining He Xiaolong's claims, he targeted the "fan culture" within the national table tennis team. Indeed, after Chen Meng won the championship at the Paris Olympics, some unpleasant incidents occurred. Sun Yingsha's fans launched cyber attacks on Chen Meng, which made people uncomfortable to watch. He Xiaolong believes that this fan culture developed during Liu Guoliang's tenure. I have to say that the national table tennis team has indeed changed a lot in recent years. The players are no longer like they used to be, "deaf to outside affairs," but instead started appearing on variety shows and managing their personal social media accounts. On the one hand, this has made table tennis more popular among young people, but on the other hand, it has also brought about some troubles. Just as everyone was discussing, the CCTV "Sports News" on the evening of December 24 provided a clear answer. Liu Guoliang appeared at the National Sports Director's Meeting…

Recently, topics about Liu Guoliang have been hot in the table tennis world. Shanghai media, which supports Fan Zhendong, has been digging deep into the behind-the-scenes transactions of the 15% stake in WTT World Table Tennis Corporation. Now, another big shot with a connection to Liu Guoliang has been investigated. According to official news, Sun Dong, the Standing Committee Member and Executive Vice Mayor of Xinxiang City, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and is currently under investigation. Xinxiang is Liu Guoliang's hometown, and WTT can hold events in Xinxiang, which is not a prominent city, because of Liu Guoliang's connections. In the 2023 Xinxiang WTT Championship, Sun Dong hosted the opening ceremony and was the highest-ranking local official at several Xinxiang event press conferences. According to netizens, the ITTF competitions and WTT matches held six games involving billions of yuan in Henan. Recently, the sports industry's crackdown is still ongoing. Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center who retired after Lai Yawen, also fell from grace. This person has been deeply involved in the volleyball world for many years, especially in creating commercial league value. Nowadays, Liu Guoliang is controversial, and the big shot of China Gold Group, who cooperated with WTT, has also been investigated. Many people are sweating for Old Liu, wondering if he can stay clean like his "mentor" Cai Zhenhua and retreat unscathed. More awkwardly, although the slogan of rectifying the fan culture has been shouted for a long time, Wang Chuqin, who has too many fans, has repeatedly…

Song Dao Hui Kong's clear grievances! Men's doubles slack off and mixed doubles win the championship, national table tennis loses the third crown, all the pressure is on Kuai Man On January 11th, Beijing time, Song Dao Hui Kong clearly distinguishes between grievances. The men's doubles slack off and lose the championship, while the mixed doubles directly take it. The national table tennis team loses another championship, and it has been determined that they will not win three championships in the five major events. The Doha Star Challenge once again presents a regrettable moment. The Chinese national table tennis team has lost another championship. This time, it was the mixed doubles championship. Huang Youzheng and Shi Xunyao eventually lost 2:3 to Japan's Song Dao Hui Kong and Zhang Benmeihe, unfortunately losing the championship. At the same time, this result means that in this Doha Star Challenge, the national table tennis team has determined that they can only win two championships at most, and now they have lost three championships. Huang Youzheng and Shi Xunyao really worked hard because this was their last game. Their singles had already been eliminated early, and they did not achieve good results in doubles. Now, on the mixed doubles court, they face Song Dao Hui Kong and Zhang Benmeihe, and this time Song Dao Hui Kong finally exploded. He clearly distinguishes between grievances because when he played men's doubles with Zhang Ben Zhihe before, Song Dao Hui Kong obviously slacked off and didn't play well, which directly led to him and Zhang Ben Zhihe losing…

In the sport of table tennis, which is filled with speed and passion, the arrival of each major competition always stirs the hearts of countless fans. Recently, with the announcement of the participation details for the 2025 Doha World Table Tennis Championships, a discussion about promises and reality has quietly unfolded. Do you still remember that not long ago, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng successively announced their withdrawal from the world rankings and WTT events? This decision caused a sensation in the table tennis world. As the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang stepped forward at this time. In an interview with CCTV, he expressed his respect and understanding for the decisions of the two players and made a promise that filled people with hope. "As the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, I will fully support the athletes in defending their own rights," said Liu Guoliang, his words filled with firmness and determination. He mentioned that he fully understands and respects the decisions of Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long, and at the same time, he also raised some questions about certain rules of the WTT. When CCTV reporter Li Wu asked if they could see the three of them on the international stage in the future, Liu Guoliang gave a clear answer: "Of course! With their achievements and contributions, I believe they can participate in any major event with a wild card." This statement immediately aroused a strong response among fans. Many people interpreted this as a firm commitment by Liu Guoliang to…
