Chinese Taipei Table Tennis Team announced the list of participants in the 2022 World Table Tennis Team Championships and the Hangzhou Asian Games, this national table tennis brothers team due to the small number of team members, in the two major competitions are used in the same lineup to play, the men's team by the world's 7th Lin Yunru led, the world table tennis champion Zhuang Zhiyuan will also go out with the team, the women's team leader is the world's 12th Zheng Yijing, 38-year-old veteran Huang Yihua after 8 years to fight again in the Asian Games, However, chen jian'an, the 2013 world table tennis championships men's doubles champion, and Jiang Hongjie, fukuhara's ex-husband, both lost two major events.
In the past history of the World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese Taipei team has won many medals, in the 1993 World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg, the Seoul Olympic women's singles champion Chen Jing represented the Chinese Taipei team, and as a result, the women's singles final lost to Xuan Jing and Qu Ju runners-up, and the Chinese Taipei women's team represented by Chen Jing and Xu Jing in the 2000 World Table Tennis Championships in Kuala Lumpur lost to the Chinese team 1-3, winning the team medal for the first time, and Zhuang Zhiyuan/ Chen Jian'an made a historic breakthrough in the 2013 World Table Tennis Championships. Won the first gold medal at the World Championships for Chinese Taipei.
Chinese Taipei men's team roster: Lin Yunru, Zhuang Zhiyuan, Peng Wangwei, Huang Yancheng, Liao Zhenju
Chinese Taipei women's team roster: Zheng Yijing, Chen Siyu, Huang Yihua, Liu Xinyin, Li Yuzhen
Lin Yunru, who is no. 7 in the world in singles, is the first main player of the men's team, and he became the target of public criticism after winning the third place in mixed doubles and the fourth place in singles at the Tokyo Olympic Games, and the subsequent Houston World Table Tennis Championships and Grand Slams did not make a splash. Facing teams such as China, Germany, Japan and even Sweden, even if Lin Yunru scored 2 points, it was difficult to help the whole team win the card. World Championships men's doubles champion Zhuang Zhiyuan is currently in the second class of the world, while Peng Wangwei, Huang Yancheng and Liao Zhenju are even less popular, and it is difficult to become Lin Yunru's right-hand man.
The 2 members of the Chinese Taipei men's team were not selected, Chen Jian'an is the men's doubles partner who won the championship at the 2013 World Table Tennis Championships Zhuang Zhiyuan, and was once the second main force of the team, which has declined rapidly in recent years, and in the case of peng Wangwei, Liao Zhenjue and Huang Yan's honesty, training young players is the top priority. Jiang Hongjie, the former main force, is the ex-husband of Fukuhara Ai, and after having a family child, his state has deteriorated, and it is normal that he did not participate in the two competitions.
The Chinese Taipei women's team and the men's team are in a similar situation, and although Zheng Yijing, who is ranked 12th in the world, has also won the women's singles runner-up in the World Cup, she has hardly achieved results in singles in the past year, and the world ranking has slipped out of the top 10, which is still the core of the team. The 38-year-old Huang Yihua first participated in the Doha Asian Games in 2006, successively competing in the 2010 Guangzhou and 2014 Incheon Asian Games, after eight years the veteran was again selected for the Asian Games squad, and had the honor to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships team competition, and the recent Doha Challenge also partnered with Chen Siyu to win the women's doubles runner-up. The main force of the last cycle, Zheng Xianxian, did not have the opportunity to participate, and she once teamed up with Chen Siyu to win the runner-up of the 2019 finals.
At present, the Chinese Taipei team, whether it is a men's team or a women's team, has little hope of winning the medal at the World Championships, because the team competition relies on the strength of the collective, not on one person to support the overall situation. However, the Chinese Taipei table tennis team at the Hangzhou Asian Games is expected to win medals in the men's and women's teams, mixed doubles, women's doubles and men's singles events.
