The World Table Tennis Championships is over, and the points are updated!
The table tennis team competition is over! The results of the Paris Olympic Qualifying Tournament in China are out, and Wang Manyu is about to return!
On February 26, Beijing time, the Busan World Table Tennis Championships came to an end, the Chinese men's team and the Chinese women's team both won the championship, and achieved six consecutive victories and eleven consecutive championships.
At the same time, it is interesting to note that after the end of this edition of the international competition, there will be a new change in the Olympic qualification scores of the national teams. Below, let's take a look at the rankings and scores of several main players in the men's **!
First of all, the men's team, now Wang Chuqin's total score is 17212, and Fan Zhendong is 17057, the strength of these two people is also quite strong, Ma Long is ranked third, 9665, Liang Jingkun is 4245 points, ranked fourth, and Lin Gaoyuan is 2425 points! Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong's scores are not much different, but this does not have much impact on the singles event in the Paris Olympics, the gap between Ma Long and Ma Long in the Paris Olympics is also narrowing, Ma Long's opportunity to participate in the Paris Olympics can only be seen in the team competition, and singles is the world of Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin!
Secondly, the focus is on the women's team, compared to the men's Olympic qualifying round, the competition of the women's team is still very fierce, Sun Yingsha, Wu Jinhua, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, Wang Manyu, Chen Xing and the same three people, there will be a singles game, two team competitions!
On the latest rankings, Sun Yingsha and the four people behind her are 21833, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, Wang Manyu 6757, and Chen Xingtong 4385! According to the selection rules of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese table tennis team will select the two athletes with the highest scores from the single event! Therefore, in the women's event, Sun Yingsha has qualified, but it is difficult to determine the candidates for the singles and team competitions, because the 2000 points in Singapore's Grand Slam, and then plus the next tournaments, singles World Cup, Grand Slam, Grand Slam, are all counted into the final score! Therefore, there is still a lot of competition between Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, and Wang Manyu!
And Wang Manyu is at a disadvantage, she can't enter the qualifiers for the World Championships in Busan because of her world ranking, which gives Wang Yidi and Chen Meng a great advantage! However, Wang Manyu has to recover from this game, because in the next two games, whether it is singles or doubles, she can rely on her ability to get more points, not necessarily to get the world ranking, not necessarily to win the championship, after clearly expressing her regrets, Wang Manyu has a good opportunity, that is, Singapore! If he can win the Grand Slam title, then he will be greatly improved in the Olympic qualifiers!
In addition, with Wang Yidi's fifth defeat to Japan, there have been some debates among the national table tennis coaching staff for more than a year, and many people believe that in the final stage, it is better to let the more stable Wang Manyu play, so that the national table tennis team will not be so passive!
The selection method for the team participants at the Paris Olympics clearly stipulates that the third person will be decided by the national team coaching staff based on the key points of Olympic singles selection, technical and tactical characteristics, doubles ability, and performance against the main opponents.
Therefore, if Wang Manyu can maintain an excellent performance in the next international competition, then even if she can't get a singles place, the possibility of qualifying from the group is still very high!
