Beijing time on February 1, today is the first day of the first lunar month, first of all, I wish everyone a happy new year and good health. During the Spring Festival, national table tennis players are adjusting their rest. Next, there are no international competitions in February and the WTT Asian Series in March. However, starting on February 4, it will be the much-anticipated Beijing Winter Olympics.
Although there is no table tennis event at the Beijing Winter Olympics, national table tennis players have cheered for the Beijing Winter Olympics online. Today, Ma Lin, a meritorious coach of national table tennis, posted on her personal social platform that the first day of the New Year is a new year for everyone, a new atmosphere in the new year, and I wish everyone health and happiness, all the best, tigers and tigers! And celebrate the successful holding of the Winter Olympics in advance, cheers.
The successful holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics has made every Chinese proud. Marlene Online cheered for the Beijing Winter Olympics, and on the other hand, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the latest Table Tennis Federation World Rankings. As meritorious coaches, Marlene's two beloved apprentices can be said to have received bad news. Ma Lin's beloved apprentice Chen Meng and Liu Shiwen have all declined in the world rankings to varying degrees, especially the veteran Liu Shiwen, who has fallen out of the top 16 in the world rankings.
According to the convention, the International Table Tennis Federation announced the world ranking in the fifth week of 2022, and the proportion of points before 2020 dropped from 50% to 20%, so the world ranking in this period has also undergone no small changes. In women's singles, Olympic champion Sun Yingsha with the stable play of the three major competitions, the world ranking surpassed Chen Meng, ranked first in the world, Sun Yingsha is also the first post-00s world champion of the International Table Tennis Federation, and Chen Meng lost the world's first throne.
Compared with Olympic champion Chen Meng, veteran Liu Shiwen's world ranking decline is more serious. Liu Shiwen has previously missed the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup due to injury. As a result, Liu Shiwen is currently ranked 17th in the world, so that the next Asian series starts, Liu Shiwen is no longer the top 16 seeded player, but needs to play a qualifier, which is a certain test for veteran Liu Shiwen.
Because the International Table Tennis Federation announced the latest world ranking calculation method, in this case, Ito Mimachi once again ranked third in the world, pressing the national table tennis Wang Manyu, Zhu Yuling, Wang Yidi, Liu Shiwen and others. Hina Hayata finished sixth in the world with the Asian Championship women's singles title. Du Kaixuan was seventh, Ishikawa Yoshinori was eighth, and Feng Tianwei was ninth. Although Puerto Rican youngster Diaz has a mediocre record, ranking 11th in the world, far more than the national table tennis Chen Xingtong, Zhu Yuling, Liu Shiwen and others.
