The Star Challenge is a high-profile competition in the ITTF events. However, the results of this challenge were a big surpriseNational table tennisThe team lost all four events in the regular challenge. The men's singles championship was won by Wang Chuqin, while Lin Shidong won the runner-up. And Liang Jingkun andLin GaoyuanEntered the tournament with a semi-final result. Women's Singles,Sun YingshaWon the crown,Chen MengRunner-up. Wang Manyu and Qian Tianyi successfully advanced to the semifinals. In the men's doubles event, Yuan Licen and Liang Jingkun became champions. Marlonand Wang Chuqin tied for the runner-up. In the women's doubles event, Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi won the championship, while Xiao Yaoqian and Diaconu won the runner-up. In mixed doubles,Sun Yingshaand Wang Chuqin won the championship, while Lin Shidong and Kuo Man won the runner-up. However, the ITTF is absolutely undesirable for such an outcome, while Japan and South KoreaNational table tennisThe United hopes that such an outcome will not happen. It can be said that this is also the caseNational table tennisA "major mistake" by the players and coaching staff.
National table tennisWinning the men's and women's singles semifinals and doubles titles at this challenge was undoubtedly unacceptable to the rest of the coaching staff and athletes. Such a result clearly does not meet the ITTF's requirements for fair competition in the event. During the regular challenge,National table tennisThey chose to abandon the singles and men's and women's doubles competitions and only sent a handful of mixed doubles pairs to compete, resulting in the four titles being snatched by other players. AlthoughNational table tennisI didn't participate in these competitions, but that didn't stop the scale of the competition from being a great year. The number of men's singles players reached 24, including Lin YunruTomokazu Zhangmoto, Zhang Yuzhen, Han Lin, Falke and many other players. The size of the women's singles players is also quite large. Due to the low level of the challenge,National table tennisThe team members are all big-name players, and the full participation is undoubtedly a loss of face, and the participation of individual people will also bring disadvantages to the fair competition of the Olympics.
Another important reason is that these tournaments have relatively few prize money and points. According to the rules, the player who wins the singles championship is rewarded with only 400 points and $5,000 in prize money, which is equivalent to 3580,000 RMB. The runner-up has only 280 points and a $2500 prize, which is about 1080,000 RMB. In the doubles event, the championship prize is only 400 points and $1,000 in prize money, which is about 7,1678 RMB. Such bonuses and points for:National table tennisAs far as the main players are concerned, it is really not worth mentioning. Therefore,National table tennisChoosing to give up these lower-level tournaments and give up the important mixed doubles title to giveOutsourcingWill players have some chances to balance the mind.
It's different from what we expectedNational table tennissuffered a major mistake in this Star Challenge. AlthoughNational table tennisIt has an absolute advantage in the strength of the players, but the result of this competition is not ideal. This makes us wonder, what kind of bitterness is hidden behind it?
First of all, in terms of the structure and level of the competition, the scale of the Star Challenge is indeed not as large as other competitions, which makes itNational table tennisThe players paid less attention to this event. After a series of fierce competitions,National table tennisThe players may not have been fully focused on this Star Challenge. Players from other countries took advantage of the opportunity to show their strength and eventually achieved good results.
Secondly, so are the factors of bonuses and pointsNational table tennisOne of the big reasons why I chose to give up this competition. Compared to other high-level events, the Stars Challenge has relatively few prize money and points to be unattractiveNational table tennisThe team members are determined to participate. National table tennisThe main players are worth a lot of money on the world stage, and the prize money and points are not too attractive to them, so they prefer to focus their energy and time on more important matches.
Finally,OutsourcingThe participation of the players will give, tooNational table tennisThere was a lot of pressure on the players. In the Star Challenge,OutsourcingThe players played well and became for a whileNational table tennisA strong competitor to the players. This makesNational table tennisThe players had to work harder and not take it lightly. Compared to them,National table tennisThe team members were a little slack in this game. This is also one of the reasons why the results of the game were not satisfactory.
After the setbacks of this Star Challenge,National table tennisThe players and coaching staff should learn from this and learn from it. In the future, they should pay more attention to every detail, insist on playing steadily, and maintain enough focus and desire to win both high-level and low-level competitions. Only in this way can it be inTable tennisAchieve better results on the world stage and achieve your goals and dreams.
Through this Star Challenge,National table tennisThe team suffered a major mistake. Despite their absolute dominance in terms of strength, the result of the Star Challenge was a big surprise. This time the defeat givesNational table tennisThe players and coaching staff sounded the alarm and reminded them not to take it lightly. In future competitions,National table tennisIt is necessary to be more focused and positive about every challenge, regardless of the level of the competition.
The results of the Star Challenge also raised questions about prize money and points. Lower bonuses and points forNational table tennisThe players don't have much traction, so they tend to give up on games like this and focus more on more important events. This also makes us reflect on whether there is a need to make some adjustments to the prize money and points of the event to attract more high-level players.
Finally,OutsourcingI will let the play of the playersNational table tennisThe players are feeling the pressure. This also reminds usNational table tennisThe players, no matter who the opponent is, should not be taken lightly and must always remain competitive. Only by constantly improving their own strength can they be invincible on the world stage.
Overall, the results of the Star Challenge are for:National table tennisIt's a lesson and an opportunity. They need to learn from their experience, learn from their experience, and improve their quality and focus in order to meet greater challenges. Only then,National table tennistalent in the worldTable tennisContinue to maintain a leading position on the stage, for the mediumNational table tennisTable tennis for glory.
