The 2023 WTT Women's Annual Finals has ended, marking the end of the Chinese national table tennis women's team's year-round competition in the international arena. What are the changes in the Olympic points ranking of the Chinese national table tennis women's team?Let's take a look. First, let's focus on fifth-ranked Chen Xingtong. At the Chengdu Mixed Table Tennis World Cup, she failed to make the main draw and therefore failed to earn 125 points. Before that, she had 3185 points. In the most recent match, Chen Xingtong successfully advanced to the semi-finals, scoring 1050 points, bringing her to 4235 points, ranking fifth.
However, her point almost meant she was out early. Next up is Wang Manyu, who is ranked fourth. Before the race, she was in third place with 5,870 points. However, in this competition, Wang Manyu failed to reach the semi-finals, scoring only 530 points, making her points 6,400 points, ranking fourth. And the third place is the dark horse Wang Yidi. With her excellent performance in defeating Sun Yingsha to win the championship, she entered the annual finals with 4630 points. In this competition, she scored 2,100 points, successfully counterattacked Wang Manyu, and sat firmly in the third position, with a total of 6,730 points. followed by Chen Meng, who ranked second.
Although she only reached the semi-finals with 1,050 points, she reached 8,250 points after the tournament and ranked second in the Olympic standings due to the relatively large number of 7,200 points she had accumulated before. The members of the Chinese women's national table tennis team have achieved impressive results in this year's competition, and are working hard for a place in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. We look forward to seeing them do more in the future!There is no doubt that the current number one is still Sun Yingsha. In fact, before this competition, Sun Yingsha had already opened a huge gap with other players.
She has won several major tournaments this year, which makes her 15,380 points before the start of the competition, far ahead of the rest of the competition. After winning the championship, her points soared to 18,380 points, 10,130 points ahead of the second place. It can be said that Sun Yingsha has locked a quota for the Olympic Games in advance. As for the competition between second and fourth places, Chen Meng's 8250 points are not very safe, because in the 2024 World Cup, it is also a match with 1500 points, and the World Cup points can be doubled.
Therefore, in 2024, Chen Meng must keep her WTT regular season points, otherwise Wang Yidi and Wang Manyu behind her may take her place.
