In the past few days, the issue of the distribution of prize money for the World Table Tennis Team Championships in Busan, South Korea, has been hotly speculated on the Internet.
Many fans have a misconception that this money is a bonus given by the ITTF to the winning team. In fact, the World Table Tennis Championships ITTF does not have bonuses, but awards to each team in the form of points. For example, the team that won the championship in this World Table Tennis Championships will be rewarded with 1,000 points. This can be found on the official website of the ITTF.
Don't think that this point is useless, it is very useful, even more important than the bonus. It has a direct impact on the draw of teams and events based on the world rankings. In other words, the team or individual with the highest points will have an advantage in the draw before the Olympics.
So where did the money for this bonus distribution come from? It is obviously the money from the Chinese Table Tennis Association. And the money from the Chinese Table Tennis Association was given by the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China. Further up analysis, it is self-evident that this money is **.
The key issue now is that the distribution of prize money at the World Table Tennis Championships is unfair, and fans think it is unfair. The main focus is on the amount of prize money for Wang Yidi and Wang Manyu of the women's team.
The current announced distribution amount is: Sun Yingsha 600,000, Chen Meng 300,000, Wang Yidi 200,000, Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong 100,000 each. Corresponding to this is the men's team Fan Zhengdong 600,000, Wang Chuqin 300,000, Ma Long 200,000, Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun 100,000 each. Of course, there are bonuses for the coaching staff and support staff, as well as for the sparring players.
This distribution method is decided according to the principle and plan of the national team's bonus distribution, which is divided into 7 grades. But the fans didn't buy it, mainly because they felt that Wang Yidi's 200,000 prize money was too much, after all, her loss in the final almost ruined the Chinese women's team's chance to defend the title. On the other hand, fans think that Wang Manyu's 100,000 bonus is too little, because it is not that she is unwilling to play for the country, but that she cannot play due to human factors.
In fact, there is no right or wrong opinion of fans. After all, at this World Table Tennis Championships, many phenomena make fans feel confused and even suspicious. But objectively speaking, these doubts and doubts are only suspicions, and there is no convincing evidence to support them.
Therefore, regarding the distribution of bonuses after the end of the National Table Tennis World Table Tennis Championships, we should still believe in the scientificity and fairness of the prize distribution plan of the Chinese Table Tennis Association.
