Wang Chuqin is one of the top ten athletes in the country, and Sun Yingsha will be on the hot search in 2023, and both of them won awards
And on this day, there is another good news for table tennis lovers, after Wang Chuqin was named "China's Top Ten Sports Stars" by Xinhua News Agency, the name Sun Yingsha Shasha also appeared on a hot topic. Today, the ITTF announced the global rankings for 52 weeks, and Sasa has become the world's top 52 weeks, so "Sun Yingsha dominates 2023" has become a hot topic. WTT WTT once praised Sasha as "unique", so let's take a look at how good she really is
Sun Yingsha won seven gold medals and held the women's singles championship at the Grand Slam in Singapore, the women's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, the women's singles championship at the Ljubljana Star Challenge, the women's singles championship at the Asian Games, the women's singles championship at the Lanzhou Star Challenge, and the women's singles championship at WTT, which is a very remarkable achievement, and her women's singles titles surpassed Wang Manyu, surpassed Wang Yidi, surpassed Chen Meng, and surpassed Chen Xingtong.
Wang Manyu won the women's singles championship of the WTT Macau Championships, won the women's singles championship of the World Championships and WTT Taiyuan, Wang Yidi won the women's singles championship of Goa and Frankfurt Open challenged by WTT stars, Chen Meng scored 0 points, and Chen Xingtong won the WTT star challenge in Bangkok, which means that Wang Manyu won three women's singles championships, Wang Yidi twice, Chen Xing once, and the three women's singles championships are not as good as Sun Yingsha. She's really strong.
On top of that, Sasha is very low-key, and when she gives her speeches, she always expresses her gratitude to her team, as well as to those who cheer her on. Sasha said that the 2023 season was not bad, but she was more looking forward to 2024. She knew very well that to step down from the stage meant to start all over again. Although there were also failures, such as Miu Hirano's match, Sasha was defeated by Wang Manyu, but this did not make Sasha better. Moreover, it also taught Sasha a lesson and made her more perfect in the future.
Sun Yingsha has already talked about it, now let's talk about Wang Chuqin. The post-zero player has won the men's singles title at the WTT Macau Championships, the men's championships at the Hangzhou Asian Games Men's Championships and the WTT Star Challenge Men's Championships in Lanzhou this season, and is the men's singles champion after Fan Zhendong. At the Hangzhou Asian Games, Wang Chuqin swept the gold medals in four individual events: men's, men's, men's, mixed and men's. Wang Chuqin also partnered with Fan Zhendong at the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, winning the men's singles victory for China and defending the mixed doubles gold medal with Sun Yingsha. What's more, Wang Chuqin has also defeated Ma Long and Fan Zhendong twice, if he can defeat these two world champions, then Wang Chuqin is rated as one of the top ten famous generals, which is not a strange thing!
There are still a few days to start, and the last race of the Doha WTT is about to begin, so I wish Wang Chuqin continued to achieve better results. Hopefully, Sasha and Wang Chuqin can maintain their lead in next year's mixed doubles competition and become the hegemon of the event.
