Sun YingshaBecome the biggest winner of the finals, win the championship for three consecutive years, becomeNational table tennisOne of the few players in history to have won back-to-back titles. However, her prize money is more than thatLiu ShiwenwithChen Mengand so on players much less. Why is this happening?
In the finals,National table tennisThe team performed well, winning the top four in the Women's Singles and winning the Women's Doubles title. However, the ITTF handed over the hosting of the finals to the WTT. WTT World Table Tennis Federation not only hosts the finals, but also hosts Grand Slam eventsWorld Table Tennis Championships, World Cup, Star Game and Regular Season, etc. In order to ensure that its team does not lose money, the WTT World Table Tennis Federation needs to balance the benefits of prize distribution, perhaps taking into account the prize money expenditure of other events, so the prize money in the finals is relatively small. Therefore, compared to the model of the ITTF directly holding the competition, the WTT WTF prize money distribution may be reduced.
Compared with the previous international table tennis ** finals,Sun YingshaThe prize money has shrunk significantly. In the past, no matter whatLiu ShiwenStillChen Meng, they are all champions, and they have won a lot of money. Liu ShiwenChampion for three years in a rowChen Mengwon the championship for four consecutive years, with prize money of $100,000 and $104,000 respectively. In contrast,Sun YingshaThe prize money is only $40,000.
However, this does not meanSun YingshaThe results are not worth the reward. Although the prize money is small, she still performed well as a three-time champion in a row, showing strong strength and consistent performance. The reduction in prize money does not erase her achievements and dedication.
ExceptSun Yingsha, miscellaneousNational table tennisPlayers also received varying degrees of prize money in the finals. Wang Yidi came in second with $35,000 in prize moneyChen MengwithChen XingtongGet $27,000 and $25,000 respectively. And Wang Manyu,Zhang Ruiand Qian Tianyi's prize money is $21,500, $17,500 and $12,000 respectively.
If you convert these bonuses to ** yuan, seven digitsNational table tennisIn total, the contestants received about 1295548 yuan. Although the amount seems to be a lot, there is still a significant gap compared with the prize money in the previous international table tennis finals.
