Everyone has been paying attention to the latest news from the national table tennis winter training camp! The three main players, Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu, have all spoken up, and Liu Guoliang has also shared important information. This winter training is not only for preparing for the upcoming World Table Tennis Championships and World Cup but also to lay a solid foundation for the Los Angeles Olympic cycle. Wang Chuqin: Focused and Diligent, Aiming for Better Performance in the New Season Under the sunshine of Hainan, Wang Chuqin is undergoing intense training. He describes his current training state as "focused and diligent." With the help of coaches Wang Hao and Xiao Zhan, his skills are steadily improving. Wang Chuqin expressed that he hopes to take advantage of this winter training to accumulate strength and strive for more outstanding performances in the new season. It seems that Little Fat has high expectations for himself! As the backbone of the men's team, his progress is crucial for the entire team. We hope he can maintain good form in the upcoming competitions and bring glory to the national table tennis team! Sun Yingsha: Winter Training is an Opportunity to Enrich Oneself, Preparing for the New Season Sun Yingsha is also looking forward to this winter training. She sees it as a precious opportunity to "enrich herself" and wants to be well-prepared for the challenges of the new season. Especially on the international stage, she hopes to present a more convincing performance. Sha Sha has always been a hardworking girl, and…

After the conclusion of the second stage finals of the 2024 Ping Pong Super League, the athletes of the Chinese table tennis team went to Hainan for a winter training camp that lasted about a month. During this period, Wang Chuqin, a male athlete from the Chinese men's table tennis team, took the time to return to Beijing to participate in Weibo Night, an annual event on the Weibo platform. A total of three national table tennis players participated in this Weibo Night, including Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, and Fan Zhendong. At the 2024 Weibo Night, the Chinese table tennis team won the title of "Annual Model Sports Team," while Wang Chuqin personally received the award for "Annual Influential Sports Figure." Since Wang Chuqin traveled from Hainan to Beijing for Weibo Night, he arrived late and did not walk the red carpet at the event. It was also generally believed that Wang Chuqin would have to rush back to participate in the winter training after Weibo Night, so it was understandable when he left before the event ended. In particular, Wang Chuqin shook hands with Fan Zhendong and Ma Long as he was about to leave, which moved many fans. They felt that Wang Chuqin's departure marked the beginning of his journey to the Los Angeles Olympics, without the company of his older teammates. In fact, after leaving Weibo Night, Wang Chuqin did not immediately return to Hainan for winter training but stayed in Beijing. On January 12, when he updated his social media, his IP address showed that he…

From "Thorn" to Top Coach: The Splendid Transformation of Qiu Yike Would you believe it if someone transformed from a "thorn" into an "old father"? Qiu Yike, once a table tennis player frequently suspended for his rebellious nature, has now become a capable coach for Sun Yingsha. Not only has he helped his disciple win world championships, but he has also, through his own efforts and tenacity, become a brand ambassador for the national table tennis team. What happened during this transition? Was it personal growth or environmental shaping? Qiu Yike's career as a player was a mix of highlights and controversies. He was not one of those naturally gifted, smooth-sailing table tennis players, but rather an individual with a strong personality. Most notably, his match against Japanese player Mizutani Jun at the 2005 World Table Tennis Championships became a media sensation. At that time, he firmly controlled the game with his unique chopping style, standing confidently in the center of the court with the eyes of a winner. However, such a player with achievements faced frequent controversies due to his character issues. He was repeatedly punished within the team for "not following the rules," even earning the title of "thorn." In his youthful vigor, his flamboyance made him stand out, but it also caused him to miss many opportunities. In the later stages of his playing career, frequent suspensions narrowed his professional path until he ultimately chose to retire from the court. Many thought that Qiu Yike would fade into obscurity, but who could have guessed that this "turbulent"…

In the annals of Chinese table tennis, there exists an amusing phenomenon that tickles the fancy: sometimes, the person who most resembles you isn't necessarily your own protégé. Indeed, a recent revelation has left fans utterly captivated, vividly illustrating this intriguing occurrence. When it comes to Coach Xiao Zhan, seasoned table tennis enthusiasts are well aware that he is a legendary figure with a "tiger" aura. Whether in his heyday as a formidable player or later in his distinctive coaching career, he has left an indelible impression of being "dominant and powerful." He's like a majestic tiger, exuding an awe-inspiring presence that strikes fear into opponents while harboring profound tactical wisdom. Logically speaking, Wang Manyu, who trained under such a "tiger coach" for a full five years, should be the one who best embodies his teachings. However, fate loves to play tricks. At the 2024 Table Tennis Super League, an unexpected scene stunned all the fans: the person whose demeanor, playing style, and even expressions were uncannily similar to Xiao Zhan turned out to be Sun Yingsha! The finals of this Table Tennis Super League were nothing short of a brilliant "inheritance drama." When Sun Yingsha stood on the sidelines as a temporary coach, her strategic dominance and unshakable confidence were reminiscent of a younger Xiao Zhan. It's worth noting that Sun Yingsha had never been formally coached by Xiao Zhan, making this resemblance all the more remarkable, akin to the saying "birds of a feather flock together." What's even more astonishing is a moment from the match. In the…

Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin have always been a highly anticipated pair. Not only do they cooperate well on the court, but their various details off the court often become topics of conversation among fans. Especially the rumors about whether there is a romantic relationship between them, it's like a gust of wind that rises and falls among the fan base. Sun Yingsha once clearly stated on social media that from the World Youth Championships to the Olympics, Wang Chuqin has always been her best partner and friend. This is undoubtedly an official statement, seemingly trying to position the relationship between the two as purely teammates. However, the attention from fans towards them has not diminished because of this statement. Taking the recent series of events as an example, it is filled with many details that can be interpreted. After Wang Chuqin visited Universal Studios, Sun Yingsha used a limited-edition panda phone case from Universal Studios. This coincidence instantly sparked endless speculation among fans, with many people firmly believing that this was a couple phone case given by Wang Chuqin to Sun Yingsha, and the rumors of a romantic relationship quickly flared up. Faced with this situation, Sun Yingsha took a direct approach to respond. She removed the phone case and tried to extinguish the "flame" that might trigger more speculation with her own actions. This approach is undoubtedly aimed at dispelling rumors of a romantic relationship. Coincidentally, when Wang Chuqin attended the annual social media awards ceremony wearing attire worth over 1.1 million yuan, his many actions once again…

On January 12th, Beijing time, good news came from the Olympic champions of the national table tennis team, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Sun Yingsha. Let's take a look at their situations together! Olympic champion Fan Zhendong attended the 2024 Weibo Night award ceremony, where he won the "2024 Weibo Annual Outstanding Sports Figure" award for his achievement of winning the men's singles championship at the Paris Olympics and achieving a super grand slam. This best athlete award is indeed well-deserved for Fan Zhendong, as 2024 was an extraordinary year for him. On the podium, Fan Zhendong looked extraordinary in his tailor-made suit, and in his acceptance speech, he said, "I am very honored to receive this award, and I will take this award as a new starting point and opportunity to contribute my strength to China's sports cause in the future." He shone on the podium and was also one of the most popular among many stars off the stage, with many top entertainers and business elites vying to take photos with him, showing his great social influence. Recently, to celebrate the fifth Chinese Police Day, the Qingdao Public Security organized an open day event at the Olympic Sailing International Conference Center. Surprisingly, Qingdao native and Olympic champion Chen Meng appeared at the event. At the scene, Chen Meng transformed into a warm ambassador, not only sending blessings to all the police but also personally presenting Lao Shan Hot Cola, a specialty from Qingdao. The police were very pleasantly surprised by Chen Meng's arrival, and the event quickly turned…

At the Paris Olympics award ceremony, Wang Manyu held up her gold medal, but what caught the attention of the camera was not her family or teammates, but her old coach Xu Hui. Standing in the corner of the crowd, Xu Hui appeared particularly "lonely." Amidst the festive atmosphere, he had no special interaction with Wang Manyu, not even a photo together. We have to admit that Xu Hui's awkward situation made many people feel something was off. Everyone knows that Wang Manyu and Xu Hui have been working together for years, leading her from a young player to become a world-class table tennis champion. Every time Wang Manyu competed, Xu Hui could be seen guiding and encouraging her on the sidelines, with a tacit understanding like old partners. So what exactly is behind Xu Hui's "departure"? Honestly, the reason behind this is not complicated. Xu Hui's main job is actually to lead the second team of national table tennis players in training and competition, while Wang Manyu has entered the core layer of the national team, obviously her training and competition need higher-level guidance and more meticulous arrangements. Since the Paris Olympics, Xu Hui's work focus has shifted to the second team, gradually distancing himself from Wang Manyu's daily training. I saw netizens proposing, is this a natural "promotion"? That is to say, Wang Manyu has reached a higher position, and Xu Hui's task may also need to be adjusted accordingly. Everyone knows that Wang Manyu's current strength is no longer just relying on basic training like Xu Hui;…

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…

The "Fan Zhendong Welfare" measures have begun to take effect, with multiple star players absent from the WTT main event, and Sun Yingsha benefiting the most. The incident where Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng withdrew from the world rankings has been over half a month now. This event shook the world of table tennis, as two newly crowned Olympic singles champions announced their withdrawal from the world rankings, challenging capital with their careers. Regardless of the outcome, it is something we should all admire. In response to this, Liu Guoliang, the head of Chinese table tennis, also clearly stated: "The Chinese Table Tennis Association supports athletes in defending their legitimate rights and interests." After the "Fan Zhendong withdrawal incident," the first WTT main event saw the initial success of the welfare measures that Fan Zhendong fought for on behalf of the athletes. As the first WTT main event of 2025, this year's WTT Star Challenge Doha station appeared somewhat dim in terms of star power. The Chinese team competed entirely with newcomers, with the oldest being Qian Tianyi at 24 years old, while the national table tennis top players were all on hiatus. In addition to the Chinese team's main players taking a break, well-known players such as Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, and Lin Shidong did not participate. In stark contrast, both Japan and South Korea sent their full main teams to compete in this WTT Star Challenge Doha station, with players like Zhang Ben siblings, Hina Hayata, Miu Hirano, and Shin Yu-bin all…

Recently, the results of the China Youth May Fourth Medal were announced, with Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu successfully elected. Everyone felt that these athletes deserved it. However, the failure of Wang Chuqin and Chen Meng to be selected was somewhat unexpected. As a result, some people began to question the selection criteria, even speculating whether there were "hidden rules" involved. Regardless, this outcome also made us wonder: Is the selection really only based on achievements? Or are there other considerations? Firstly, the election of Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu is almost uncontroversial. They are almost representatives of the national table tennis team, both on and off the court. Fan Zhendong is known as a regular at the "Iron Throne" of the table tennis world, and his stable performance has allowed him to repeatedly win gold medals at the Olympics and World Championships. Especially his competitive aura, which often makes opponents feel heavy pressure, and almost no one can find a breakthrough under his powerful aura. Sun Yingsha's performance is equally astonishing. Although she failed to win gold in the women's singles final at the Paris Olympics, the gold medals she won in the mixed doubles and team events are enough to prove her strength. Currently, Sun Yingsha is already a dominant force in the women's world table tennis scene, just one step away from the grand slam. Moreover, as a star on social media platforms, her number of fans continues to rise, which is a testament to her comprehensive strength. Wang Manyu's playing style is…
