The current mainstays of the national table tennis team, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, also took on the mantle of the national table tennis team at around 20 years old. So, among the young players around 20 years old in the national table tennis team now, who can stand out? In fact, the national table tennis coaches have been searching hard. From the second half of last year to January this year, the Chinese table tennis team released a large group of young players to participate in international competitions, hoping to find the next generation of leaders from among them.
