Recently, the Chinese table tennis team's collective withdrawal from the WTT Star Challenge in Doha sparked widespread controversy. Especially among the fan base, this decision caused quite a stir. The originally highly anticipated Sun Yingsha, Fan Zhendong and other main players were absent from the subsequent WTT Doha Regular Challenge, which directly touched fans' questions about the strategic arrangement of national table tennis.
First of all, it is worth paying attention to the full play of national table tennis in the Star Challenge. The team sent a full main lineup, including Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan, with the intention of showing its strong competitive form at the beginning of the season. However, in the regular challenge that followed, the collective withdrawal of national table tennis was abrupt. This decision not only disappointed the fans, but also raised questions about the use of strategies by young players in national table tennis.
Especially the young players of the national table tennis, such as Lin Shidong, Kuo Man, Yuan Licen, etc., they should have been the main force in the regular challenge. Fans are puzzled why the national table tennis does not send young players to exercise in such low-level events? After all, for young players, this kind of competition is an excellent opportunity to accumulate experience and improve their skills.
The decision to withdraw from the tournament seems to reflect some concerns of the management about the growth path of the young players. Is it a concern that the performance of young players in lower-level competitions will affect the overall image of the team, or is there other strategic considerations? In any case, this "one-size-fits-all" approach obviously ignores the accumulation of practical experience of young players and deprives them of the stage to show themselves.
On the other hand, this decision also gives more opportunities to the external players. In the regular challenge tournament without the participation of national table tennis, foreign players such as Lin Yunru and Zhang Benzhihe became seeded players, and they will undoubtedly take this opportunity to compete for the championship. This is undoubtedly a side effect of the strong influence of national table tennis in the international table tennis arena, and the absence of national table tennis has given players from other countries more opportunities to compete for the championship.
On the whole, the decision of the national table tennis to withdraw from the competition may have its considerations at the strategic level, but from the perspective of promoting the growth of young players and improving the overall competitive level, this decision seems to be lacking in consideration. As the leading team in the world table tennis arena, national table tennis should be more flexible and diversified in talent training and use to ensure long-term competitive advantages and all-round development of athletes.
