On the day of the final, on the table tennis court, Chen Meng stood on the Olympic podium after years of hard training and countless competitions. In theory, this moment should be filled with cheers and joy, but reality turned out to be unexpected. Some viewers were indifferent to her victory, and even some made sarcastic remarks. This not only surprised Chen Meng but also stirred up waves in the hearts of all those who paid attention to the match. "What's going on?" Many netizens asked. Why is there such a big contrast when a Chinese person wins? It turns out that under the influence of social media, some fans (fan circles) have brought their love for idols into sports events. They only support the stars in their hearts, ignoring the significance of the competition itself. The topic of "fan circle culture" has recently become popular. It has a huge impact in the entertainment industry, and it has unexpectedly spread to the field of sports. For athletes like Chen Meng, what they pursue is fair competition and self-transcendence, not becoming the "traffic star" in the eyes of some people. The actions of Zheng Qinwen dissolving fan groups and badminton players unfollowing are precisely to get rid of this interference and regain that pure competitive spirit. So, what if Sun Yingsha wins the gold medal at the Paris Olympics? It can be foreseen that the scene will be jubilant. People will applaud and cheer for her, as if the whole world is celebrating this glorious moment. This contrast makes people can't…

Chinese women's tennis star Zheng Qinwen is currently in Australia preparing for the Australian Open. After successfully passing the first round, Zheng Qinwen earned 70 points and a reward of 900,000 RMB. Her opponent in the second round is the 36-year-old German veteran, Siegemund. The two players have no previous record of playing against each other, so this match presents an equal opportunity for both. Before the big battle with Siegemund, Zheng Qinwen also became a hot search topic, and the reason is simple: "Zheng Qinwen loses 1300 points" became a hot search. Perhaps due to the recent controversies surrounding the WTT rankings in table tennis, when Zheng Qinwen lost 1300 points, it also attracted the attention of many fans. After deducting these 1300 points, Zheng Qinwen's world ranking dropped by 2 places, from No. 5 to No. 7, making her previous year's efforts seem wasted. Why was Zheng Qinwen deducted 1300 points? It was not targeted but rather a result of the world ranking rules. According to WTA regulations, as time progresses, the points Zheng Qinwen earned at last year's Australian Open have expired, hence they were deducted. This adjustment in world rankings saw many players lose their Australian Open points, for example, the former women's singles world No. 1 Sabalenka, who won the championship at last year's Australian Open and earned 2000 points, also had her 2000 points expire and be deducted, causing her to lose her No. 1 position in women's singles. Besides Zheng Qinwen and Sabalenka, Gauff was the third player with the most deductions, losing…

She withdrew in the first round of last year's US Open, and this year at the Australian Open, she was eliminated in the first round by a "thousand-ranked player". After being eliminated…
