Sun Yingsha locked in the Olympic singles qualification and competed fiercely with Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, and Wang Yidi
The coaches of the Chinese Table Tennis Association and the national team also released the latest world rankings for the first time.
From the perspective of world rankings, Sun Yingsha is still the world's top seed, while the world's first, second and third are Wang Yidi, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi are still behind the first sister of Japanese table tennis Hina Hayata.
But judging from the results of the Olympic Games, it is not easy for people with a little eyesight to see that Sun Yingsha maintains a cliff-like advantage with a super high score of 18922, and Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, and Wang Yidi's scores are only a line apart, as long as they play one game, they can reverse their current rankings.
In more detail, Chen Meng and Wang Yidi ranked first and fourth respectively with 8328 and Wang Manyu with 6960 and 6757 respectively. For Chen Xingtong, her results in the Olympics are far inferior to the other four beauties, so she has no chance to compete in the Paris Olympics.
In this way, Sun Yingsha qualified for the Olympic Games without any surprises, and the other position in the men's singles and team competition was between Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, and Wang Yidi. Judging from the current Olympic results alone, Chen Meng and Wang Yidi will undoubtedly go to Paris with Sun Yingsha, and Wang Manyu will become a substitute.
However, according to the regulations of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, their results can only be calculated on May 7, and before that, WTT has a total of eight games, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi and others can get more points and get higher rankings in these eight games.
Because one of the eight tournaments is a team competition, and the national table tennis team is in the ordinary challenge in Doha, so Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, and Wang Yidi, that is, six games, are eligible to get more points in the Olympic Games, that is: Doha Star Challenge, Goa Star Challenge, Singapore Grand Slam Open, Incheon Championship, Taiyuan General Challenge, and individual championships.
In addition, in this World Championships, only two athletes are allowed to enter the national table tennis, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, except for Sun Yingsha, I don't know which one can enter the finals, which depends on the new rules of the Chinese Table Tennis Association and the staff of the national table tennis.
In fact, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, and Sun Yingsha can't guarantee their other men's singles seats, and the remaining six matches will be a hard and cruel game.
However, considering the overall level of Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi and others, as well as the recent matches, Wang Manyu is the most likely to enter the men's singles final. However, it was all based on the fact that she would not be killed by Chen Xingtong in the women's singles final as before.
And Chen Meng's state is the same, even if he can't get the gold medal, it is easy to get the collective quota for the Olympic Games. And Wang Yidi, in the eyes of many people, her overall level is not as good as Wang Manyu and Chen Meng, and it is very likely that she will be left behind.
Moreover, the results of the international competitions of the national table tennis team are not counted in the international competitions, so although Wang Yidi has a higher ranking in the Olympic Games than Wang Manyu and Chen Meng, because her performance in the international competition is too bad, she is likely to become a substitute in Paris.
At present, Sun Yingsha's women's singles seat in the Paris Olympics is certain, the other is Wang Manyu, and the other is Chen Meng, but Wang Manyu is more likely, Chen Meng is likely to play in the team competition, and Wang Yidi is going to play in the Paris Olympics as an alternate.
