Entering 2024, according to incomplete statistics, in addition to this year's Paris Olympics table tennis events, the International Table Tennis Federation will hold more than 20 important table tennis competitions, no, the World Table Tennis Championships team competition in Busan, South Korea from February 16 to 25 will soon kick off, and the national table tennis players have also ushered in a great opportunity to earn points and grab Olympic tickets.
In terms of the national table tennis women's team, at present, Sun Yingsha is far ahead with 19480 points, and there is no suspense in the women's singles competition of her participation in the Paris Olympics, even if there is no increase in points before registration, Sun Yingsha also qualified for the competition, Chen Meng ranked second with 8748 points, Wang Yidi ranked third with 7065 points, Wang Manyu in fourth place, 6757 points, and Chen Xingtong in fifth place, 4385 points.
Because Chen Xingtong failed to qualify for the Busan World Table Tennis Championships team competition, coupled with her Olympic points falling too far behind, it is quite difficult to surpass her previous teammates' points.
Judging from the current situation, Chen Meng has a relatively obvious advantage, although there are several important international events before the deadline for Olympic points on May 7, there will be changes in points, whether it can affect Chen Meng, it also depends on the performance of Wang Yidi and Wang Manyu in international competitions before May 7.
In addition, the national table tennis stipulates that the three highest-ranked players in the world in the team of the team World Table Tennis Championships will be given priority to qualify, and Chen Meng is currently ranked third in the world, and there must be opportunities to play, and there should be no problem for the national table tennis women's team to win the team championship this time.
However, in the Frankfurt Championship in November last year, Chen Meng lost to her old rival Szokos and stopped in the round of 16, which is not the first time Chen Meng has lost to Szokos in this Olympic cycle, and in last year's Singapore Grand Slam, Chen Meng also lost to the little-known Samara, stopping in the top 32 of women's singles, exposing a big upset.
On the other hand, Wang Yidi, who was originally at the bottom of the main layer of women's table tennis with Olympic points, defeated Misei Ito, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu in the Frankfurt Championship in a row, and finally won the women's singles championship of this tournament, winning 1000 points for the women's singles championship and 2000 points for Olympic rewards, so that Wang Yidi's Olympic points surpassed Chen Xingtong and Wang Manyu's two teammates.
Therefore, in the front of Sun Yingsha, the mountain can not be crossed, and there are Wang Yidi, Wang Manyu behind the two teammates struggling to catch up, Chen Meng must not take it lightly, not only every game of the Busan World Table Tennis Championships team competition must go all out, there is no room for loss, and in several important international competitions before the deadline of the Olympic points, Chen Meng must maintain a stable performance, only in this way can he ensure that his second ranking position in the Olympic points is stable and he can qualify for another Paris Olympics singles.
