Two young players under the age of 25 have taken up the mantle of leading the offensive charge for the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, a sight that evokes both joy and some melancholy. The joy comes from the fact that there are successors, giving new hope for the future of Chinese volleyball; the melancholy stems from the reality that a former Olympic champion now sits on the bench, watching her once-held position be taken by newcomers. So what exactly is going on? Let's take a look together. Wu Mengjie and Tang Xin, these two names are increasingly appearing in Jiangsu women's volleyball matches. Wu Mengjie, 22 years old, tall and long-limbed, with powerful spikes, is another outstanding spiker to emerge from the Chinese women's volleyball team in recent years. Tang Xin, only 20 years old, though not particularly tall at 184cm for a spiker, possesses astonishing jumping power and explosive force, like a small cannon, brimming with vitality on the court. In the match against Fujian women's volleyball, they combined for 42 points, becoming the key to Jiangsu women's volleyball victory. Tang Xin, in particular, has repeatedly outperformed Wu Mengjie with her excellent performance, becoming the team's top scorer. Tang Xin's playing style is very distinctive. Unlike other tall spikers who mainly rely on height and strength to overpower opponents, she focuses more on technique and speed. Her spike trajectories are varied and unpredictable, often catching opponents off guard. She jumps quickly and strikes decisively, like a nimble little leopard, constantly running and leaping on the court, exerting immense pressure…

Chinese table tennis Olympic champion Wang Manyu has become the focus of fans' discussions due to the exposure of details regarding death threats against her. It has been revealed that there was a reason for her being escorted by bodyguards, and it was not because Wang Manyu was acting like a diva. Renowned journalist He Xiaolong updated his personal social media to narrate the whole story; let's take a look at the specifics together! Journalist He Xiaolong disclosed on his personal social media the details of the death threats against Wang Manyu: The incident occurred recently at a table tennis super league event, where some spectators attacked and insulted Wang Manyu, with someone even shouting "Kill her." Under these circumstances, Luneng Club made the right decision to hire bodyguards to escort Wang Manyu to the airport, providing her with sufficient security protection, which is indeed worthy of everyone's praise! He Xiaolong's revelation has attracted the attention of many netizens, who have left messages in the comment section to express their opinions. One hot comment reads: "I went to watch the women's team final on-site, and the viewing experience was very poor! There was a feeling at the scene that whoever was the opponent of Shenzhen University would bully the opposing players, and it was no longer a sports competition where both sides cheered each other on for their exciting matches! The viewing experience was too bad!" He Xiaolong finally pointed out that the table tennis fan circle is too crazy and called on the Chinese Table Tennis Association to stop…

In mid-November Beijing time, the WTT Fukuoka Finals concluded the semi-finals. The world number two in men's singles, Lin Shidong, lost to Tomokazu and failed to reach the final. In women's singles, Wang Manyu defeated the European champion, achieving a grand assembly in the final. Lin Shidong is a fierce player for the national table tennis team. At the age of 19, he has already become a Grand Slam winner. This finals saw him in great form, but unfortunately, in the semi-final match against Tomokazu, he was unable to maintain his momentum and secure victory. Despite leading 2-0 and 3-2 in sets, he failed to seize the opportunities, eventually being caught up by Tomokazu and losing in the decisive set. The collapse of the world number two meant that the national table tennis men's singles could not meet in the final. In this finals, three out of the top four women's singles spots were occupied by national table tennis players. The match between Wang Manyu and Szocs was particularly important as securing victory would allow the national team to meet in the final. The result was as hoped, with Wang Manyu fighting hard through seven sets to defeat her opponent 4-3 and advance to the final. However, the process was not easy, as Szocs posed a significant threat, living up to her reputation as a player who had previously defeated Olympic champion Chen Meng. The difficulty of the match can be seen from the score. Wang Manyu took the initiative first, scoring three consecutive victories to lead 3-0. It seemed…

Recently, Olympic champion Chen Meng appeared at the Gulangyu Marathon in Xiamen. This is the first event she has participated in since announcing her withdrawal from the world rankings. During the run, Chen Meng took off her coat and only wore a sports vest, showing off her good physique. In recent times, everyone's focus has been on Fan Zhendong, but Ma Long and Chen Meng have also been removed from the world rankings. Among them, Ma Long had already announced that he would not participate in world championships, while Chen Meng still had expectations for the 2025 World Table Tennis Championships before this. Because, although Chen Meng has won two Olympic women's singles titles, she is still short of a World Championship singles title to achieve the Grand Slam. Therefore, the 2025 World Championships can be considered Chen Meng's last desperate attempt. If she still cannot achieve the Grand Slam, it is believed that Chen Meng should give up. However, at present, Chen Meng has been forced to retire directly, not because she wants to, but compared to Fan Zhendong, the slightly older Chen Meng has naturally been overlooked. Therefore, we also look forward to the results of the ITTF investigation team as soon as possible, giving Chen Meng another chance to fight for her dream!

In 1992, at the Barcelona Olympics, Zhuang Xiaoyan stood on the judo mat and won China's first-ever Olympic gold medal in judo. This was not only a personal triumph for her but also a historic breakthrough for Chinese judo. However, behind this legendary achievement lies a dark story involving her mentor, Liu Yongfu. Liu Yongfu is a well-known figure in the judo world, once regarded as a gold medal coach for China. He has trained many Olympic champions and nurtured countless judo talents. One would expect him to be a respected role model, but Zhuang Xiaoyan's revelations have shattered his once lofty image. Zhuang Xiaoyan, the former Olympic champion, recently publicly accused Liu Yongfu of being a "wolf in sheep's clothing" and forcing athletes to take drugs, among other unspeakable acts. She claims that Liu Yongfu exerted immense pressure during training and engaged in private activities that outraged her. Initially, Zhuang Xiaoyan was not a judo athlete; she practiced shot put and showed promise at a young age. However, Liu Yongfu's appearance changed her destiny. It is hard to imagine that such a renowned coach would personally visit her home to convince her family to switch to judo. Zhuang Xiaoyan dove into this new field and displayed remarkable talent. In 1992, she defeated strong opponents at the Barcelona Olympics, successfully winning the gold medal and creating history for Chinese judo. Despite the initial success, Zhuang Xiaoyan harbored growing resentment and anger towards Liu Yongfu. Some might speculate that her grievances stem from her inability to maintain her glory after retirement.…

For current well-known athletes, world ranking is the passport to world championships and also a guarantee of commercial value! Therefore, world ranking is very important for athletes. Once they lose their world ranking, their commercial value will normally shrink. However, for Olympic champion Fan Zhendong, withdrawing from the world ranking has instead increased his commercial value. This has also attracted heated discussions and attention from fans and media. We all know that recently, China's three major Olympic champions Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long have successively withdrawn from the world ranking. The main reason is that they cannot accept the new rule of being fined if they do not participate in competitions. The actions of these three Olympic champions have also caused turmoil in the world table tennis arena. However, Fan Zhendong's behavior has been supported by fans. There are two main reasons for this. First, fans believe that athletes are too hardworking. We all know that table tennis events nowadays have dense schedules, leaving many professional athletes with little time to rest and adjust. Athletes are human beings, not machines. Moreover, even machines can break down one day. Second, the ratio of athletes' efforts to returns is not proportional. According to media reports, in current WTT events, athletes must reach the quarter-finals to ensure that they do not lose money by participating. Nowadays, competitions are global. Athletes need to travel around the world. Travel and accommodation expenses are considerable. Athletes also need to support their families. And according to WTT rules, if an athlete does not participate, they…

Latest Update on National Table Tennis: On January 4th, News of Olympic Champions Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng's New Dynamics!‌ The beginning of 2024 brought a shocking message to the Chinese table tennis world: Olympic champions Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng collectively announced their withdrawal from the world rankings. This decision not only marks an important turning point in the development of Chinese table tennis but also reflects the profound impact of policy adjustments by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF)! The direct cause of this collective withdrawal from the world rankings is the ITTF's penalty policy. According to regulations, players who are absent from competitions for a long time will be given 0 points, which not only affects the player's world ranking but also has a significant negative impact on commercial events. Faced with such policy pressure, the three Olympic champions had to make this difficult decision. For the 36-year-old Ma Long, this seems like a natural transition in his career. At the Beijing Grand Slam event, he hinted that it might be his last official match. As a legendary figure in the table tennis world, Ma Long's transformation direction seems to have been clarified - the fashion circle will become the next stage for him to display his talents. For Fan Zhendong, who is at the peak of his career, this decision seems somewhat helpless. As the leader of the new generation of national table tennis, he was recently appointed as the MLB China Regional Champion Glory Ambassador, showing potential for cross-border development in…

Recently, the withdrawal of three Olympic champions, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long from the world rankings has become a hot topic in the sports world. Among them, WTT (World Table Tennis Corporation) and Coach Liu Guoliang have become the targets of criticism from fans and media. Hong Kong media has even criticized WTT for using Chinese money to bully Chinese athletes. Whether it's Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, or Ma Long, their withdrawal from the world rankings is due to new regulations introduced by WTT, which stipulate that players who do not participate in competitions will be fined. Ma Long, as a 36-year-old veteran, although experienced, is definitely not as physically fit as before. Ma Long did not really plan to retire in the near future; out of love for the sport, he still wanted to compete in some events. However, with the introduction of these new rules, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up participating! Fan Zhendong's situation is even more complicated. We could sense his inner helplessness from his official announcement. Chen Meng's situation is similar. She had considered not playing during the Paris Olympics cycle. It was Coach Liu Guoliang who inspired Chen Meng, and she returned to the court again. The withdrawal of these three Olympic champions will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the promotion and development of table tennis! Therefore, there must be problems with the regulations set by WTT. Hong Kong media 01 Sports pointed out in its article that most of WTT's sponsors come from China. Companies like Baishui…
