Their superb skills and strength have made it difficult for other players to match, bringing supreme honor to the Chinese table tennis team.
In the women's singles event, Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng are still proud, and their technical and tactical level has reached the top in the world. In the match, they played well, showing tenacity and excellent skills to deal a fatal blow to their opponents.

Behind these brilliant achievements is the result of the unity and struggle of all Chinese table tennis people to achieve the common goal. Through endless efforts, they have improved their strength and level, and won incomparably lofty glory and brilliant harvest for the Chinese table tennis team. As the Paris Olympics are approaching, the Chinese table tennis team has recently made important personnel changes in management. According to the announcement on the official website of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang will be relieved of the responsibility of leading the team and replaced by He Xiao. Some fans may not be familiar with He Xiao, the new commander-in-chief, but as a veteran of the Chinese table tennis team, Mr. He Xiao has injected strong impetus into the Chinese table tennis team in the past few years and has achieved great results.
He Xiao's relationship with the Chinese table tennis team can be traced back to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, when he served as the main interpreter for the Chinese table tennis team, providing professional translation services for the team. Although interpreting may seem easy to outsiders, it requires a high level of professionalism and communication skills. It is precisely because of his solid professional knowledge, coupled with excellent communication skills, that the Chinese table tennis team can receive comprehensive support on and off the court. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, He Xiao's role changed again, and he was promoted to the director of the advisory committee of the Chinese table tennis team, responsible for handling the team's administrative matters. Known as the "brain" of the Chinese table tennis team, he coordinates everything from communication with international experts and coaches to the competition schedule and logistics. He has demonstrated exceptional organisational skills and dedication, making him an indispensable pillar of the team.
At the previous Tokyo Olympic Games, Mr. Liu Guoliang, Honorary Chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, was appointed as the plenipotentiary representative of the Chinese Table Tennis Team. However, it is interesting to note that in the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Liu Guoliang has decided to give up the position for the sake of cultivating young talents. Behind this decision, it is clear that Mr. Liu Guoliang cares about and attaches great importance to the growth space of the new generation of athletes. And He Xiao is the right person in his mind. In the two Olympic Games in recent years, Mr. He Xiao's job responsibilities have been biased towards team management, and this role is highly consistent with the responsibilities of the future national team leader. Now, Mr. He Xiao has been officially promoted to the plenipotentiary representative of the Chinese national team, which is well deserved.
Regarding why Mr. He Xiao was selected as the leader of the Chinese table tennis team, Li Falcon, CEO of the Secretariat of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, praised him. He said that Mr. He Xiao has rich management experience and has worked with him for many years. Such a high evaluation undoubtedly proves that Mr. He Xiao has received widespread support. Whether it is his experience, ability, or tacit cooperation with the team, he is fully qualified for this position.
As the plenipotentiary representative of the Chinese table tennis team, Mr. He Xiao will bear great responsibilities. He will be responsible for coordinating and managing the day-to-day affairs of the entire team to ensure that they continue to excel in all competitions. At the same time, he will also work closely with the coaching team to discuss specific game strategies and respond to various emergencies. This is a challenging task that requires deep practical experience and excellent organizational skills. With the Paris Olympics approaching, as the head of the national table tennis team, Mr. Liu Guoliang had to face a difficult choice: to select the right members.
In the women's group, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are expected to compete as women's singles athletes at the Olympics. Both of them are currently the top players in the domestic and global table tennis world, with strong strength and stable state, and they are the best candidates for women's singles. Correspondingly, Li Meng will be represented as a team athlete, and her performance in previous events has been excellent, showing extraordinary strength and experience. Although Wang's results have fluctuated recently, her potential strength cannot be ignored, so she is also seen as a trustworthy backup.
In the men's group, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin will be the first choice for men's singles players. Fan Zhendong, the current world No. 1 player, has a lot of strength and experience in the competition, while Wang Chuqin, a rising star who has emerged in recent years, has become more and more impressive in international competitions. At the same time, Ma Long will also compete as a team athlete, and as an experienced celebrity, his leadership and practical experience are undoubtedly extremely valuable assets. As for Leung, despite the occasional fluctuations in his recent form, his pace of progress is still solid, so he can be seen as a candidate with development potential.
As for the mixed doubles event, the author believes that the combination of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha will be the most optimal plan. The two of them have already shown great strength and chemistry in the early stages of the competition, which is enough to ensure that they will be able to achieve great results in the future Olympic Games in Paris. To sum up, at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Chinese table tennis team's lineup is undoubtedly strong and competitive. In both men's and women's events, there are many outstanding athletes who meet the challenge. Of course, the exact outcome of the event will depend on the stage of the competition, as well as the actual performance of the athletes and the opponents. However, as a Chinese national, we firmly believe that as long as every member of the team does their best, they will be able to achieve a brilliant victory.
