At the Hangzhou Asian Games, the points of the men's and women's table tennis singles champions are both 500 points. In addition to this, the national table tennis also provides additional bonus points for these champions. According to the Paris Olympic Games selection plan issued by the national table tennis, the singles champion of the Asian Games can receive 3,000 bonus points in addition to 500 championship points. The player who finishes runner-up in singles will receive 1,500 bonus points.
Such a reward mechanism undoubtedly provides greater motivation and rewards for domestic table tennis players, and helps to stimulate their fighting spirit and strength on the field. For the Chinese table tennis team, it is not only to obtain better results in international competitions, but also to unite the centripetal force of the team, improve the overall strength, and make full preparations for future competitions.
However, there are also questions about such a reward mechanism. They believe that such a reward system may lead some players to focus too much on points and rewards and neglect the true love and focus of the game. At the same time, good players can also lose a lot of points due to a momentary loss, which affects their overall performance and confidence.
To sum up, for table tennis players, although the setting of reward points is conducive to stimulating their fighting spirit and strength, it also needs to be more reasonable and fair in the design of the point system, so that players can focus more on the game itself, rather than focusing too much on the number of reward points. It is hoped that the future table tennis competitions will be more fair and intense, and show a higher level of competition.
