Wang Manyu's partner Lin Gaoyuan has a mystery, and the pressure and power of the Shatou combination coexist
As we all know, the WTT Doha Star Challenge, is the first world-class competition held by the ITTF in 2024, so everyone in the national table tennis team participated in this competition. However, to the confusion of fans, the national table tennis team did not participate in the next WTT Doha ordinary challenge at the beginning, but added two groups of athletes to the mixed doubles for some time afterward.
Sharp-eyed viewers also noticed that in the Doha Star Challenge, the mixed doubles pair of Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha, Lin Shidong and Kuo Man was replaced by Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Manyu. In other words, it was changed to Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Manyu's partner.
This kind of change seems ordinary, but in fact it has a profound meaning.
The Doha Ordinary Challenge, the same as the Taiyuan Ordinary Challenge, is a relatively low-level event in the WTT series, and it is very common for the national table tennis team to collectively give up the competition, even if they want to participate, they are all second-tier players. Therefore, if the national table tennis team wants to increase the mixed doubles of men and women, it is completely possible to let ** people and Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Manyu play together!
The reason is simple!First of all, as the world's number one player, the "Shatou Team", after winning the mixed doubles gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games, their performance did not make the staff and spectators of the national team happy, especially their poor performance in this World Table Tennis Championships. Therefore, the coaches of the national table tennis team plan to let Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Manyu continue to partner together, which will bring an invisible sense of oppression and impetus to the national table tennis men's team.
Secondly, this change also shows that the young duo of Lin Shidong and Kuo Man, even if they occasionally have excellent performances, they have not yet grown to the point where they can take charge on their own, and they still need to be honed. At the same time, since the Japanese animation group cannot participate, the coaching staff of the national table tennis team also needs to organize another excellent mixed doubles team. In other words, if the Shatou duo is out of order, and Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Manyu play well, it is likely that they will be replaced by the latter.
Thirdly, it also means that Lin Gaoyuan has a good chance of becoming a substitute in Paris. If Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Manyu can achieve better results in the next round, then they have a good chance of becoming the "doubles" of the Paris Olympics.
In the end, Wang Manyu may win the triple or even quadruple in some tournaments, because Sun Yingsha has always been partnered with Wang Chuqin, so she has won a lot of glory in the mixed doubles, and now, Wang Manyu also has more playing time. However, it all depends on her and Lim being able to excel in mixed doubles.
2024 is the year of the Olympics and the restart of the Women's Championships, and for Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, it will be a pivotal moment in their careers. These two female athletes are among the best table tennis players in the world, let's see!And for Lin Gaoyuan, he may also enter a new height, it depends on whether he can seize this opportunity.
