Liu Caimin live video
1. The champion of Xiaozao World Table Tennis Championships is quite special, and Ito has become the new trend of Olympic singles. Previously, the women's singles champions of the World Table Tennis Championships all won the championship that year, and then immediately put into the Olympic Games. Liu caught up with two special circumstances: one was that the Olympic Games were delayed for one year; Second, jujube was damaged and its technical condition declined. Liu's two women's singles titles in the 20 19 competition have basically lost too much reference significance because of the long interval between the Tokyo Olympic Games. According to Guo Ping's latest Olympic selection method, the Olympic ranking has been re-emphasized. When talking about mixed doubles, Liu mentioned that each association can only apply for one pair, which is the highest risk, while the women's singles are two people, which can be said to be double insurance.
As we all know, according to the ranking of the Olympic Games, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha ranked first and second in table tennis respectively, and this ranking is the best plan to stop Meicheng Ito in the Olympic Games. Chen and Sun are divided into two and a half areas, and the winning percentage against Ito is also the highest in recent years, which is what Liu called "double insurance". From this point of view, Xiao Zao's recent singles technical state, except for defeating slightly stronger Gu Yuting, is almost a small player of the second team in the group stage. Singles only get the top 8 results, obviously the current state is difficult to have the persuasive power of Olympic singles. Speaking of a thousand words, with Ito as the opponent, any women's singles champion in the competition has become a bubble. Whether Ito can play or not is the most important reference vane of table tennis at present. On the other hand, against Ito, Chen Meng won four games, Sun Yingsha won six games, 1 lost, and Kozao lost two games in a row.
Mixed doubles has become a "burden" that hinders Olympic singles, and Xu is tired of doubles. Imagine if Liu's technical characteristics are not suitable for playing mixed doubles, and there is no impressive record of 37 wins/Kloc-0 losses in mixed doubles, it is likely that there will be younger partners in mixed doubles. Liu Xiang can only play women's singles and groups, so her consumption will be reduced too much. Similarly, Xu Xin was the only player of Guo Ping who kept eight consecutive victories against Zhangben, while Malone lost three times in Zhangben and won the singles title. Xu Xin also lost the singles opportunity because the doubles were too good.
1. Liu's three projects at the same time are not realistic, and he has basically missed the grand slam in advance. And Liu had to draw lots for the Olympic singles. If she and her teammates are pulled to one and a half zones, table tennis will have to start killing each other ahead of time, which also destroys what Liu called "double insurance". The table tennis players are in one and a half zones, and Ito is in the other and a half zones, which is basically a straight women's singles final. Another important factor that hinders Liu is mixed doubles. Only women's singles and mixed doubles events, Liu's "double track" two events have achieved the top 8 results.
On the schedule of the Olympic Games, mixed doubles and women's singles are held at the same time, especially in the semi-finals and finals of mixed doubles and the second and third rounds of women's singles on July 26th. Liu will play three games a day. Mixed doubles is a must, and the women's singles involve Xiao Zao completing the Grand Slam and even stopping Ito in the semi-final. With Liu's current physical condition and technical ability, she may be defeated in both mixed doubles and women's singles.
Therefore, Guo Ping's newly revised Olympic selection method changed the previous reference to the Olympic ranking but not limited to the ranking to the selection based on the Olympic ranking. In this way, Liu's seventh Olympic singles basically fell through. He also formed a singles match to stop Ito, which became a "double insurance", while Liu and Xu Xin were mainly mixed doubles and groups.
Liu has been engaged in table tennis for more than ten years, and has gone through many vicissitudes, leaving many regrets and unbalanced mentality. It started with the famous team competition of the 20 10 World Championships in Moscow. There was a big problem with Shi Zhihao's formation, which put a heavy burden on rookie Liu and ruined the champion. The damage is not only the loss of the championship, but the long-delayed fluctuating mentality. Since then, Liu's mental state has been very fragile. Lost some leading opportunities, typical of which is the 20 15 Suzhou World Championships final.
For this unhappiness, she played a little temper, and did not participate in the World Cup after the Rio Olympic Games, so that Japanese Ping Ye Mi won the championship at the youngest age of 16; Kong was so angry that he banned Liu for three months. The reason has nothing to do with the technical level, or it is closely related to the mentality of being swayed by considerations of gain and loss!
Liu's highlight moment came, even she didn't estimate it. Liu's performance before the 20 19 World Championships was not outstanding. He only won the fifth place in the through train competition, edging out Zhu Yuling and catching the last bus of the World Championships singles. The coaching staff didn't expect much from her. Liu Ye spoke out that she was left out and nobody cared about her. I went to the World Championships in this mood, holding the mentality of winning a game, but the result was unexpected. I won the championship by riding the dust. Do you find it strange?
After winning the championship, Liu Zai's development is quite good. She not only won the world cup singles title, but also became a world cup gentleman for girls, just like her head coach Marin. Also in the mixed doubles, he was invincible with Xu Xin, and achieved excellent results in the World Championships with a score of 37 wins/kloc-0 losses. But behind these glories, it is the loss of the body, time waits for no one, and injuries are even more difficult for Liu to parry. Severe pain almost destroyed Liu's body and required surgery and long-term rest to recover. Liu thus entered a dead end.
Who knew that Liu He missed the Olympic Games? Is this Marlin's fault? This is Liu's own problem. It is her body that fails to live up to expectations. I can't blame others.
Since becoming the head coach of the team, she has done her best and achieved remarkable results. 20 19 Liu won the women's singles championship in the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup under his guidance. However, since the second half of 20 19, Liu has selectively participated in some competitions for physical reasons, so he has also been nicknamed "Liu Paopao". In 2020, her physical condition went from bad to worse, and she had elbow surgery in May. After that, he recovered until the end of the year, and resumed training on 202 1.
It can be seen that Liu's injury caused her to lose the qualification to participate in the Olympic women's singles competition, which is not a problem. If she has the strength to prove herself, I'm afraid it must be her who participates in the women's singles competition. Crossing the race in Xinxiang was her last chance, but she didn't seize it. Who let her not even make it to the semi-finals? Such a level of coaching staff and table tennis association
Dare to give him the women's singles?
I can only say that Liu himself is not very lucky.
Liu was the best Liu when he won the World Table Tennis Championships on 20 19, but it was still some time before the Tokyo Olympic Games. If all goes well, it is logical for Liu to participate in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, and it is very likely that he will eventually win the championship and become a grand slam.
However, unexpected events happened. In 2020, the epidemic began, and then the Tokyo Olympics was postponed, and Liu Ye had surgery. With Liu's continuous retirement, her world ranking is getting lower and lower, while Liu Ye can't train normally because she hasn't participated in international competitions for a long time, and her competitive state is not as good as before.
More importantly, Liu stagnated or regressed, while harmony made rapid progress. Without comparison, there will be no harm. 202 1, Liu's comprehensive strength is not as good as that of, and it is normal that he can't get the singles quota.
What's more, Liu lost to Miki Itô twice in the team final of the World Table Tennis Championships in Sweden in 20 18 and the Swedish Open in 20 18. This historical record does not support her to participate in the singles competition of the Tokyo Olympic Games. Because Miki Itô can't be avoided in the women's singles competition of Tokyo Olympic Games, the problem of losing Miki Itô has not been solved, and the coaching staff dare not let Liu participate in the women's singles competition of Tokyo Olympic Games.
In fact, it has nothing to do with it. It is impossible for him to cause an epidemic, postpone the Tokyo Olympics, and let Liu have surgery. So, you have to take your own responsibility. I gave Liu a lot of help and took good care of her, but a lot really happened during this period.
It's also a good thing that Liu can't play singles, so he can prepare for the team competition and mixed doubles wholeheartedly. With Liu's current ability, it is difficult to play well in team competitions and mixed doubles. If you take part in singles again, it is easy to lose sight of one thing and lose sight of another.
Of course, I also feel sorry for Liu. It's a pity that the main players of the national team haven't even reported for an Olympic singles for so many years. However, this is not the time to discuss these issues. What is important now is to actively prepare for the competition, strive for good team events and mixed doubles, and help China win the championship smoothly.
The task of team competition and mixed doubles competition is already very heavy, so we should fully prepare for it. Liu lost to Mikei Ito in the final of the 20 18 World Table Tennis Championships, and his mixed doubles also lost in foreign wars, so these two events still need to be prepared with great efforts. Liu, don't worry about singles, but keep working hard. Come on, Liu!
What else can we say on such a topic of asking ourselves and answering ourselves? Success is his, and so is failure. Actually, no one has seen it. There have been running water, years, unyielding and perseverance. More importantly, the sudden epidemic has left Liu scarred, and the epidemic and injuries have also made Liu Bei suffer and struggle in pain. It was this year or so that the mature Chen Meng became more mature, and Sun Yingshalan, a prominent figure, established her main position step by step with overwhelming momentum. Liu has no regrets about quitting singles, because he pursues and works hard. Liu has no regrets. As a veteran, he bravely shoulders the heavy responsibility of winning mixed doubles and team championships, and his spirit of brave struggle and selfless dedication will surely win the respect of coaches and athletes of the whole team. Liu showed his true feelings and showed the excellent character of an old player who fought bravely and never gave up. Fans who like her will definitely give her great praise. We wish Liu good results in the Olympic Games and a better future after the Olympic Games.
According to the selection method previously announced by the Chinese Table Tennis Association, excellent competition results, excellent foreign records, strong psychological quality and strong pressure resistance have become the "threshold" for athletes to be selected for the Tokyo Olympic Games lineup. In addition, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the injuries and rehabilitation of athletes.
Therefore, based on the principle of "choosing the best among the best, and choosing the best among the strong", the Olympic team composed of Ma Long, Leading, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin and Liu is not only the best choice for table tennis at present, but also more in line with the expectations of the outside world.
Although Liu won the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup, it is natural for him to get the singles seat in the Olympic Games. Because there is an unwritten rule in table tennis, the world table tennis singles champion can get the Olympic singles quota. Helpless to catch up with the outbreak of the epidemic, the Tokyo Olympic Games was postponed for one year, and Liu was injured in last year's German Open, which directly affected Liu's competition for Olympic singles places.
In addition, during the epidemic, Liu was injured one after another, so it is not easy to recover in time before the Olympic Games. In the face of unprecedented challenges, according to Li Sun, the head coach of the women's team, it is also the unanimous decision of the team and the players to focus on mixed doubles and team competitions.
