The Table Tennis World Cup is wonderful again, Wang Manyu's counterattack is temporarily sharp, and Ma Lin is powerless to stop it!
On February 28, the national table tennis official announced the resumption of the men's singles competition in 2024 in Beijing, which is also the final moment for Wang Manyu to save face.
In the final round of the women's team competition, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha led the team to win the championship, and Wang Manyu became a marginalized character again, supervising the whole process, but in the knockout round, she was impossible to play, so in the four rounds of the game, she sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight. Wang Manyu regretted that she didn't play in this level of event, and unfortunately, in the subsequent press conference, she also fully revealed her feelings.
However, at this time, the national table tennis officially announced the news of the World Championships finals, allowing Wang Manyu to regain the opportunity to play the Grand Slam, which made her very happy. ITTF officially announced the squad for the 2024 women's singles competition, with a total of 46 people, of which the Chinese national table tennis team accounted for 6 places.
This time, Wang Manyu was able to announce her return with the gold medal at the World Championships and won a Grand Slam ahead of Sun Yingsha. Today's Chen Meng is already the first place in the world competition, while Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are an Olympic gold medal, and Wang Manyu is a World Cup.
FINA has postponed the announcement of the resumption of the World Cup, but good news has finally emerged. First of all, this is the Olympic year, and the resumption of the World Cup will give the players plenty of time to compete. The Olympiad is just around the corner, so it's also good for the Olympics to have a World Cup before that and put yourself in a good competitive position. Therefore, this is undoubtedly great news for table tennis fans across the country.
This is even worse for Wang Manyu, because once the World Cup is postponed and restarted, it will become very difficult for Manyu to win a Grand Slam. The three most important sports in the world are: the World Cup, the World Table Tennis Championships, and the Olympic Games. Sasha and Chen Meng have both won the World Championship titles, while Wang Manyu has not yet won them, and the WTF does not know when they will be able to start competing again.
Therefore, it is difficult for Wang Manyu to achieve his wish to hit the Grand Slam, but the good news is that this comeback also gives Wang Manyu a chance to advance to the finals. But with the end of the World Championships, Wang Manyu's results are getting better and better, and in the next session, she will no longer be able to surpass Chen Meng and Wang Yidi, because her total score is only 4100, so her score is fourth.
If she can win the Grand Slam championship, then she can easily win the second place, defeat Chen Meng and Wang Yidi, and become the next Olympian. Therefore, the news from the IPL surprised Wang Manyu, and Sun Yingsha's dream of a Grand Slam is facing another crisis.
