It's a pity! Xinhua News Agency announced: Quan Hongchan "missed out" on the top ten international athletes, but it's not a pity Towards the end of 2024, the sports department of Xinhua News Agency announced the list of the top ten international athletes, which is really big news. Only Zheng Qinwen from China was selected, while well-known athletes such as Quan Hongchan, Pan Zhanle, and Ma Long were all left out. This news came out, many people were stunned, Quan Hongchan performed so well in the Olympics, how did she miss out? Let's talk about Zheng Qinwen first, 2024 is very important for her. At the Paris Olympics, she defeated Swiatek and Vekic to successfully win the championship. In the WTA500 Tokyo women's singles final, she defeated former Australian Open champion Kenning 2-0, which is really impressive. Also in the WTA250 Palermo women's singles final, she defeated Muchova 2-1 to successfully defend her title. These victories one after another have made her a focus in the international sports world. Looking at Quan Hongchan again, her performance in 2024 was also excellent. In February, she won the women's individual 10-meter platform event at the World Swimming Championships, completing all the important championships that can be won in world competitions. At the Olympics, she won the championship in both the women's individual and synchronized 10-meter platform events. You know, being able to win this event consecutively at two Olympic Games is not something just anyone can do. She is also the youngest athlete in the world to win three Olympic gold medals!…

Recently, Zhang Jike made a candid statement during a live broadcast, without naming anyone: "There are those in the national team who are blindly confident, very much so, but actually lack the necessary strength. Fans, don't be offended, results speak for everything. I won't name names, it's not good! I used to be like that too, but later I realized that blind confidence doesn't work if you can't win matches; you need to improve your own abilities." These words caused quite a stir, although Zhang Jike did not name anyone specifically, the comment section erupted with accusations from netizens that he was subtly criticizing Wang Chuqin! As the fastest player to achieve a Grand Slam in history, Zhang Jike's statement is entirely justified. Competitive sports are all about results, and completing a Grand Slam in just 445 days is truly unprecedented. Coincidentally, he achieved this feat at the age of 24, leading many fans to associate him with the similarly aged Wang Chuqin! Netizens' doubts are based on solid evidence. When Zhang Jike mentioned achievements during his live broadcast, he was referring to the three major competitions: the World Cup, the World Championships, and the Olympics. Although Wang Chuqin won gold medals in mixed doubles and men's team events at the Paris Olympics, the term "Grand Slam" only refers to singles, not doubles or team events. It is an undeniable fact that the strength of the national table tennis team has declined. Previously, the requirement for participating in Olympic singles was to have at least one championship from the World…

The old saying goes that corruption in the sports field is deep and often unknown. People may have had different interpretations of this sentence before, but now it seems that especially after Guo Zhongwen, who parachuted into the position of director of the General Administration of Sport, was brought down six years later. This statement has undoubtedly been greatly confirmed. However, this time the incident occurred in the less well-known field of judo and was just a scandal. According to Judo Olympic champion Zhuang Xiaoyan's statement on her personal social media platform, her mentor Liu Yongfu is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Liu Yongfu forced his students to take drugs in order to achieve results. Of course, taking drugs is not enough, training cannot be neglected either. However, Zhuang Xiaoyan was very resistant and sometimes directly spit out the medicine. This kind of medicine has great side effects and can almost cause irreversible damage to the body. Liu Yongfu noticed Zhuang Xiaoyan's abnormal behavior and sometimes watched her take the medicine before leaving. However, including Zhuang Xiaoyan, many Judo students dared to be angry but did not dare to speak up. At present, only Zhuang Xiaoyan has openly criticized her mentor Liu Yongfu, while other disciples of Liu Yongfu have not spoken out. This is because Liu Yongfu is a Judo coach with the power of life and death. Most people only know that Coach Liu Yongfu has a great reputation in the Judo world. For example, Li Zhongyun won the women's Judo gold medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.…

In the glorious history of sports, the Chinese women's volleyball team was once a hero in the hearts of many people. However, in recent years, their glory seems to have been overshadowed by a shadow. From the failure at the Tokyo Olympics to the difficulties faced at the Paris Olympics, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team has plummeted like a roller coaster. Behind all this, it turns out to be directly related to the arrest of Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport. Now, let us uncover the mysterious veil and find out the truth behind the Chinese women's volleyball team. I. The Dilemma of the Volleyball Team: Falling from Great Heights Where is the former champion now? In recent years, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team has declined rapidly. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, they only won 2 games and lost 3 in the group stage, failing to enter the top eight, which made many fans extremely sad. In the 2024 Paris Olympics, although they barely made it into the top eight, they lost 2-3 to the Turkish women's volleyball team in an important quarterfinal match, returning from the court disappointed once again. This is not just about losing a game, but also about losing the spirit of the volleyball team. What is the reason behind this? The name Gou Zhongwen is now closely associated with the dark period of Chinese sports. During his tenure as director of the General Administration of Sport, the performance of China's three major ball sports…

Recently, former Chinese women's volleyball team captain Hui Ruoqi posted a video on her personal social media platform showing her sister Hui Ruoxuan being proposed to, which sparked intense discussion among domestic netizens and fans! In the video, Hui Ruoxuan, Hui Ruoqi's sister, stands at the center of the venue while her boyfriend shouts loudly, "Hui Ruoxuan, marry me," with his voice echoing throughout the hall. Following this, Hui Ruoxuan and her boyfriend embrace passionately amidst thunderous applause from the audience. Hui Ruoqi, taking advantage of her height, also played the role of a photographer at the scene. Upon learning that Hui Ruoqi's sister Hui Ruoxuan has been proposed to, many netizens and fans may share the same feeling as the editor, believing that it was not long ago when Hui Ruoxuan's high school graduation vlog was released, and now she has already been proposed to by her boyfriend. However, upon careful consideration of the timeline, it seems quite fitting, considering that it has been eight years since the Chinese women's volleyball team won the Rio Olympics. In 2013, Hui Ruoqi began serving as the captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team and achieved second place at the 2014 Women's Volleyball World Championship, creating the best performance in 16 years. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, under Hui Ruoqi's leadership, the Chinese women's volleyball team overcame numerous challenges to reach the final, where they defeated the Serbian women's volleyball team with a score of 3-1, successfully winning the championship. As the captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Hui Ruoqi stood…

The 2024 season is drawing to a close, and various selection lists are being released one after another!

The highly anticipated Quan Hongchan, Pan Zhanle, and Ma Long were all eliminated without exception, with only Zheng Qinwen making it onto the list.

Additionally, she won the runner-up titles at the Wuhan Tennis Open and the WTA Finals. In the WTA's year-end selection, Zheng Qinwen was awarded the Most Popular Singles Player of the 2024 Season and the Best Moment Award at the 250 tournament. In fact, it is not surprising that Zheng Qinwen made the list of the top ten international athletes, it could even be said to be expected! First of all, there is no doubt about Zheng Qinwen's performance in the 2024 season; she amazed everyone by reaching the final at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year; then, Zheng Qinwen defeated the favorite Swiatek in the semi-finals of the women's singles tennis at the Paris Olympics, winning against her opponent for the first time in her career, and went on to defeat Vekic in the final to claim the championship; secondly, as the sport with the…

Recently, the WTT Finals are in full swing, and Fan Zhendong has previously announced that he will miss this competition. At present, Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong have both finished their first-round matches and advanced to the next round to continue competing for the championship. In such circumstances, many fans, in addition to paying attention to the dynamics of the Chinese table tennis team's matches, are also very concerned about the state of Fan Zhendong, the top player of the national table tennis team.

So far, he has missed a series of events including the Asian Championships, Beijing Grand Slam, Frankfurt Championship, and this year's finals. Therefore, many fans are very curious as to why Fan Zhendong is not participating in the national team's competitions and what he has been busy with recently?

Don't Mess with Little Fatty Anymore, He's Now Fearless Fan Zhendong posted on Weibo The sages say that when one is fearless, they have nothing to fear, and Fan Zhendong is currently in this phase. Barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes; now, whoever dares to provoke him might find themselves in a situation where there's a lot to talk about. Fan Zhendong's Weibo post received millions of likes, with comments numbering in the tens of thousands, many of which were veiled references to various issues. I remember it all too well... When I wrote "Last Dance" in May, I had already anticipated that Paris might be my last Olympic Games. I will spare no effort to fight for my country. After successfully completing my Olympic mission, due to the immense psychological toll left over from the Paris cycle, apart from confirming my participation in the next National Games, I have not yet laid out specific plans for my future career. Recently, WTT introduced a new rule that fines players who do not participate in events. Although I am truly unable to bear this, I still respect the international organization, so I can only choose to withdraw from the world rankings for now. In accordance with the requirements of the International Table Tennis Federation and the Chinese Table Tennis Association, I have submitted a report this week. I am still me; I will not retire but will continue to strive to participate in more diverse competitions. Never stop chasing my wildest dreams. Table tennis is the badge of…

On December 24, 2024, veteran sports blogger He Xiaolong posted on his personal social media platform, insisting that Liu Guoliang had been fired. He Xiaolong has a massive following of 473,000 fans on Weibo, with a V index of 83.73 in sports and ranked No. 6 in live streaming, making him a popular sports blogger with an IP address located in Shaanxi. After He Xiaolong's message was released, it garnered significant attention from netizens. Many believed that He Xiaolong had access to first-hand information and trusted his claims without question. Known for his sharp words, He Xiaolong has frequently commented on the national table tennis team on his personal Weibo account, insinuating Liu Guoliang as the cause of the so-called "fan culture." Numerous netizens developed a prejudice against Liu Guoliang after reading He Xiaolong's posts. Just as the rumors about Liu Guoliang's dismissal were escalating, CCTV International aired an interview video with Liu Guoliang at an opportune moment. It turned out that on December 24, 2024, the National Sports Director's Conference was held in Beijing, where Liu Guoliang, as the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, participated. Following the conference, Liu Guoliang accepted an interview with a CCTV journalist, discussing his future work plans. Liu Guoliang stated: The national table tennis team will establish a new team, adjusting both athletes and coaches while vigorously cultivating young players and providing them with more competition opportunities. The plan is divided into four phases: the first year for cultivation, the second year for maturation, the third year for sprinting, and the fourth…

In December 2024, China's sports circle experienced significant changes. The former director of the General Administration of Sport was investigated and removed from his position, and the former head coach of the men's football team, Li Tie, was sentenced to prison. Additionally, there were recent rumors that the current chairman of the Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang, might also face dismissal. These rumors about Liu Guoliang's potential dismissal quickly attracted attention in the sports circle. The source of these rumors can be traced back to December 24th when well-known sports media personality He Xiaolong made a statement on social media. He Xiaolong is a well-known figure in the sports world, and his comments have always been controversial and influential. This time, he directly named Liu Guoliang, suggesting that Liu had already been dismissed and was also a promoter of fan culture. He Xiaolong believes that Liu Guoliang has promoted the commercialization and marketing of national table tennis athletes, often participating in entertainment activities to increase fan engagement and create fan groups, which differs from the original intentions of sportspeople. Moreover, Liu Guoliang failed to control the pace and did not properly guide or manage the created fan groups, leading them towards the development of "fan culture." Under uncontrolled development, these fan groups transformed national heroes like Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, and Fan Zhendong into traffic stars, triggering numerous online battles among fans. Perhaps He Xiaolong's remarks resonated with some fans, as they quickly sparked extensive discussions and attention among netizens after being posted. Many netizens followed suit, questioning the national…
