Chen Meng has disappeared from the WTT women's singles world ranking list, which reminds me of the time when she held the number one spot for many years. Back then, watching her play, I always saw her calm and composed demeanor. Now that she's suddenly off the list, it feels like something is missing. After Chen Meng's withdrawal from the WTT rankings, the entire women's table tennis landscape is quietly changing. Sun Yingsha occupies the top spot with a high score of 9900 points. This score might not have been considered particularly high in the past, but in the current period, it stands out as exceptionally brilliant. Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi are also showing increasing stability in their performances, ranking second and third with scores of 8700 and 5005 points respectively. Although the point difference looks quite significant, it's actually possible to catch up within just a few matches. Chen Xingtong now ranks fourth with 3725 points. Although there's still a noticeable gap between her and the top three, her recent state has been steadily improving, and it's possible that she could surprise everyone someday. Japan's Hina Hayata and Miyuu Higa rank fifth and sixth with scores of 3363 and 3305 points respectively, indicating that Japan's team strength is indeed not to be underestimated. Saya Todo ranks seventh with 2518 points. For a young player, this achievement is already quite commendable. Her playing style is quite distinctive, and she always manages to excel at critical moments. Yi-Jing Cheng and Yu-Bin Shin rank eighth and ninth with scores around 2300…

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…

First Tier: The United States Team The American women's basketball team ranks first in the world, with players who excel in physical fitness, have strong jumping ability, speed, a tough playing style, and enjoy confrontation. They are individually strong in both inside and outside scoring. Since the 1950s, the American women's basketball team has become the dominant force in the world, with few defeats.

You see, once these words were spoken, the scene erupted, and netizens were buzzing with discussion, each one like they had swallowed gunpowder, speculating about who exactly he was referring to, especially the blindly confident player he mentioned. Netizens were full of question marks, pointing directly at Wang Chuqin. Zhang Jike did not directly name anyone, which made people even more entangled. Honestly, this topic immediately made everyone think of certain players, especially Wang Chuqin, the young force of the current national table tennis team. Although he won mixed doubles gold and men's team gold at the Paris Olympics, what about his singles performance? There really wasn't much to show for it. Zhang Jike's words ignited this topic, making people pay even more attention to whether Wang Chuqin could achieve a Grand Slam in singles, after all, that is the standard achievement for him as a top player. Zhang Jike's point that results are the standard of strength cannot be refuted. After all, he himself is the most vivid example, completing the Grand Slam at the age of 24 in just 445 days, who can do that? He won the championships of the World Cup, World Championships, and Olympics back then, and in terms of singles results alone, he was almost invincible. Who would dare say he doesn't have enough strength? Some netizens said: Zhang Jike's words make a lot of sense. After all, results are the hard truth. Can…

The Chinese table tennis team participated in the Paris Olympics, where they won all five titles. Although China achieved a clean sweep, they face significant challenges in the new Olympic cycle, especially with the emergence of Japanese prodigy Zhang Benmei, who must be taken seriously by the Chinese team. Zhang Benmei is of Chinese descent but plays fiercely against Chinese opponents, showcasing her potential on the court. Despite her competitive spirit against Chinese players, she has encountered two nemeses among Japanese competitors who have completely suppressed her. Her first nemesis is Hina Hayata, against whom Zhang Benmei has lost eight consecutive matches, being thoroughly dominated. It will be challenging for Zhang to break through Hayata's defenses and become a leader for the Japanese team in the future. Her second nemesis is the 20-year-old Saki Shibutani, who, despite her young age, plays with great excitement against Zhang Benmei. In the decisive match of the women's doubles final at the Asian Table Tennis Championships, Shibutani even handed Zhang a 11-0 defeat. Zhang must consider how to overcome Shibutani in the future. Facing both Hayata and Shibutani, Zhang has struggled to find effective strategies, causing concern among her fans. However, at only 16 years old, Zhang still has opportunities to prove herself in future competitions, and people will be watching her performance closely. Despite losing eight consecutive matches to Hayata and receiving an 11-0 defeat from the 20-year-old genius Shibutani, Zhang Benmei will not slacken her self-discipline. She will continue to give her all in upcoming matches, and everyone will be paying attention…

On January 3rd, the national table tennis team began their winter training in Hainan, officially starting a 23-day winter training session that will last until the 25th. At that time, players who did not participate in the Singapore Grand Slam will be able to return home for the New Year as usual, while those selected for the Singapore Grand Slam will not be able to spend the holiday at home. Additionally, some players will be participating in the Doha Star Match on January 6th, followed by subsequent challenge matches, meaning they will have very few days of actual winter training. Xu Chenhao shared his experiences in Hainan, stating that it is indeed very comfortable there. He posted photos with his teammates, showcasing the environment and dining facilities in Hainan. Indeed, choosing Hainan for winter training is an excellent decision due to its suitable temperature, which is more conducive to training. Sun Yingsha was interviewed by "Table Tennis World" and expressed her regrets after the Paris Olympics, but also stated that it would not be her last Olympic Games. She has been with the national team for 10 years, from being a young player to where she is now, and every competition is worth looking back on as it represents the rewards of her efforts. During competitions, her parents may avoid calling her to prevent disturbing her. After the Olympics, including when she returned home, neither her parents nor friends would discuss the matches with her; instead, they would chat about happier topics, perhaps out of concern that discussing the matches…

The Olympics is a grand sports event, but there are also cases in history where it has suffered severe losses, such as the Beijing, Athens, and Tokyo Olympics, which have all been painful lessons. The skyrocketing costs and economic lessons, as well as the operation of venues after the Olympics, are also the biggest problems plaguing countries around the world. Looking at the global situation, many host cities have faced difficulties in supporting the high maintenance costs of venues and facilities, and some have even led to economic recession. So, 16 years ago, how has China's investment of 3.4 billion yuan in building the Bird's Nest fared in terms of subsequent operation and utilization? Has it been a gain or a loss? Where does the annual maintenance cost of over 80 million come from? In August 2008, athletes and coaches from 204 participating countries and regions around the world gathered in China to participate in the 29th Summer Olympics. As the host country, we did not disappoint, eventually topping the Olympic medal table with 51 gold medals, becoming the first Asian country to reach the top of the gold medal standings in Olympic history. On August 24, 2008, the Beijing Olympics came to a successful conclusion. This 17-day sports feast captured countless memorable moments and left behind many unforgettable memories. However, after the celebration, when the sacred flame was extinguished and the flag lowered, the operation of the Olympic venues became the biggest challenge. Building the Bird's Nest was no small feat, requiring significant time and effort. After its completion,…

Heavyweight! Xinhua News Agency interprets Fan Zhendong's withdrawal from the World Ranking: Basically equivalent to retirement! The Internet is in an uproar The heat surrounding the withdrawal of three Olympic champions, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long, from the world rankings continues unabated! Recently, Xinhua News Agency interpreted the withdrawal of the three Olympic champions from the world rankings, stating that their decision is basically equivalent to retirement. This has sparked heated discussions and attention from fans and media. The main reason for the withdrawal of the three Olympic champions from the world rankings is the new rule that fines players for not participating in competitions, which is unacceptable. Ma Long, who is already 36 years old, is also at the end of his career! In this situation, Ma Long certainly cannot participate in all competitions like young players. Therefore, he was the first Olympic champion to decide to withdraw from the world rankings due to the WTT's new rules. However, Ma Long did not officially announce it through social media. Fan Zhendong was the first to make an official announcement. After winning the Paris Olympics, Fan Zhendong did not appear on the stage of world competitions. He only participated in the National Championships and the China Super League. Fan Zhendong's reason was that the mental exertion during the Paris Olympics cycle was too great and needed adjustment. Chen Meng announced after Fan Zhendong. After the Paris Olympics, Chen Meng only recently participated in the Lao Wa Cup. She is also not young! The reasons for withdrawing from the…
