Ping-pong responds to the "outpost war" in Paris (theme)
202 1 world table tennis championship (single event) will be held in Houston, USA from October 23rd to 29th 165438+. This is the first time that the World Table Tennis Championships have settled in the United States, and all teams have sent a strong lineup to play.
Judging from the list of World Table Tennis Championships, Ma Long, Xu Xin, Liu and other veterans with both strength and experience are not in the array. The men's team is led by Fan Zhendong, supplemented by young players such as Liang Jingkun, Lin, Zhou and so on. The women's team consists of Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Manyu Wang and other young players.
In this regard, Qin Zhijian, head coach of the national table tennis men's team, said: "The coaching staff takes the players of the Paris Olympic Games as the first starting point and comprehensively evaluates the lineup of this competition to see if it can play an' outpost war' in Paris."
In the men's singles final of this year's Tokyo Olympic Games, Fan Zhendong, regarded as the leader of the new generation of national table tennis, lost to Malone and missed the Olympic gold medal. According to Liu, chairman of the China Table Tennis Association, this means that the "succession" of the new men's team has not been completed. The performance of Fan Zhendong's trip to Houston will be a key link in the alternation of old and new men's table tennis in China.
However, according to the latest lottery results of the World Table Tennis Championships, the competitive situation of China Men's Team is unfavorable. In the men's singles competition, Zhou was divided into the lower half by many strong enemies, while the rest of the table tennis players gathered in the upper half. In men's doubles, Lin/Liang Jingkun and Fan Zhendong/Wang are both in the upper half, and they may also encounter "infighting".
Comparatively speaking, the signing of women's table tennis is better. In women's singles, Chen Meng, Manyu Wang and Chen Xingtong are in the upper half, while Wang Yidi, Sun Yingsha and Japanese player Ito Mikei are in the lower half. In the women's doubles competition, Sun Yingsha/Manyu Wang was placed in the lower half, while Chen Meng/Qian Tianyi started from the qualifying round.
As the top seed of the women's singles in this World Table Tennis Championships, if Chen Meng wins the championship, she will achieve the Grand Slam achievement of winning the World Cup, the Olympic Games and the World Table Tennis Championships within one year, and set a new record for the fastest Grand Slam in ZhangJike. Sun Yingsha and Manyu Wang, as Olympic champions, also have the strength to challenge the champions.
Li Sun, head coach of the women's team, said that the final goal of polishing the lineup of the World Table Tennis Championships is also the Paris Olympic Games. "The Paris Olympic cycle is less than three years. Although the women's team can be said to have completed the alternation of old and new at the Tokyo Olympic Games, we hope to form a younger competitive group on this basis. "
Looking at the main opponents of the National Table Tennis Men's Team in this World Table Tennis Championships, the Japanese team has strong players such as Zhang Benzhihe and Koki Niwa, while the German team has Bohr, the "table tennis evergreen tree". In addition, Volker of Sweden, Ting of Hongkong, China, and Lin Yunru of Taibei, China, the runner-up of men's singles in the last World Table Tennis Championships, are also on the list. They all have the strength to create some "troubles" for Guoping.
For women's table tennis, the biggest challenge is Miki Itô. In March of this year, she won the women's singles championship in the Middle East Division of the World Table Tennis Major League twice in a row, and also won the mixed doubles gold medal in the Tokyo Olympic Games with Shuigu Junnan.
It is worth mentioning that in recent years, the Japanese table tennis team has made continuous efforts and has become the main opponent of table tennis in the world. Not long ago, the Japanese Table Tennis Association issued a long-term plan, saying that it would strive to surpass China in 20031year and become the world's top table tennis country.
The table tennis team, which is dominated by young players, should not only give full play to its own strength, but also pay more attention to every opponent and every detail if it wants to play the "outpost war" in Paris in Houston.
As Qin Zhijian admitted in an interview, when defending champion Malone was absent from the World Table Tennis Championships, the team was ready to "pay tuition" for the teenagers. "Even so, looking at the Paris Olympic Games, it is imperative to temper the ability and responsibility of young athletes in the competition."
