Should Wang Yidi or Wang Manyu be sent to the knockout round? The two have already given the answer
Since the start of the Busan World Cup, whether Wang Manyu can qualify for the final has become a hot question for fans!
The Chinese Table Tennis Association clarified the following in the athlete selection rules issued before the Paris Olympics:
In the team elimination round of the relevant international event, the top three players have the right to participate.
In this case, Wang Manyu will not be able to enter the finals.
Since in the latest global rankings, Sun Yingsha has surpassed her and become the champion, Wang Yidi and Chen Meng are ranked second and third respectively!
In this way, Wang Hao will not be able to enter the top 16, and Wang Hao's current world ranking is only ranked 4th after Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, and Chen Meng!
For example, in the Pyeongchang Championship, Wang Manyu was only ranked 5th in the world ranking, so Wang Manyu was not in the group stage!
This makes many fans feel that Wang Manyu is a little pitiful, you must know that during the Paris Olympics, Wang Manyu had a very good performance, Wang Manyu defeated Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha in the World Championships in Houston, and won the first place in the women's singles of the World Championships!
It can be said that in the Paris Olympics, in terms of record and competitive level alone, Wang Manyu can only rank behind Sun Yingsha, but he will not be able to participate in the next round of elimination, which is also unavoidable!
On the other hand, Wang Yidi, who is at the Asian Championships in Pyeongchang, is far behind Wang Manyu in the big tournament, and she also lost to Japan's Hina Hayada at the World Championships in Durban!
However, in the final match, Wang Yidi regained the third place in the world, Wang Yidi qualified for the finals, and received a prize of 800 points!
Many fans feel that Wang Manyu's strength is better than Wang Yidi, whether it is her performance on the field or her performance on the field, she is better than her, so she can get the chance to advance!
At the Busan Table Tennis Championships, many fans felt that Wang Manyu's strength surpassed Wang Yidi!
Although Wang Manyu's world ranking lags behind Wang Yidi, whether in the competition or abroad, Wang Manyu has to surpass Wang Yidi!
However, no one could predict whether Ma Lin would choose Wang Yidi and Wang Manyu to fight, so this matter has become a hot topic!
And now, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi have proved their strength with their outstanding performance in the World Series!
However, it is unknown whether Marlene will accept this offer!
In the first leg of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, Wang Yidi will face Indian athletes as the third place. As a result, Wang Yidi lost to the Indian athlete and lost the game 0:3!
Wang Manyu is the biggest hero of the Chinese women's volleyball team, against India, she scored two points by herself, especially in the final overtime, she defeated the opponent under strong pressure and won a victory for China!
Wang Manyu's strong performance has fully demonstrated that she has the strength to enter the final stage!
So, when Wang Manyu advances to the finals, will Ma Lin break the rules of the Chinese Table Tennis Association?
In fact, even if Wang Manyu is sent, this is in line with the rules of the Chinese Table Tennis Association!
This is so due to the clear requirements in the selection of table tennis competitions at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games:
In the team knockout rounds of the relevant international competitions, the top three players will have priority. If an athlete abstains during a match, is passively on the field, has a serious injury, or is unable to resist human resources, the head coach may decide to change the player.
Because Wang Yidi is injured, the coaches would rather let Wang Yidi play than let Wang Manyu play, because her strength is stronger, and there is a big gap with foreign players.
Will Marin field Wang Manyu in the final round of elimination? That's hard to say!
