Browsing the website information, I found that Chen Meng was on the hot search again, and the reason for the hot search was that the IOC table tennis women's singles event did not invite Chen Meng, because the International Table Tennis Federation updated the singles quotas of various countries and associations early this morning, and the list of the Chinese team showed Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu. In other words, the singles quotas recognized by the ITTF and the IOC are Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, and Chen Meng is not invited. However, in fact, the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced the list of participants for the Paris Olympics as early as May 14, in which Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng participated in the singles and team, and Wang Manyu only participated in the team. What is the reason for this? Who will represent the Chinese table tennis team in the Olympic singles, in addition to Sun Yingsha, the other place is Chen Meng or Wang Manyu?

In fact, this is due to the fact that the IOC rules are different from the selection rules of the Chinese team. Because according to the table tennis selection rules of the Paris Olympic Games, the candidates to participate in singles must be the two highest-ranked people in the world on June 18, 2024 in the team competition. As soon as this list came out, it caused a heated discussion among fans, because the list given by the national table tennis was different from that of the International Olympic Committee. The second Olympic singles list of national table tennis went to Chen Meng instead of Man Yu.

So some netizens left a message saying, please give the Chinese Table Tennis Association a fair and reasonable statement, Wang Manyu's quota should have been given in the first place, why should a person with fewer champions than her, a lower ranking than her, an older age than her, and a lower winning rate than her in the foreign association? How can right and wrong be reversed! At the same time, Aite took the social platform accounts of People's Daily, Olympic Games, Liu Guoliang and Ma Lin. But fans only have the right to be angry, but they can't change the facts. Because the final decision is in the hands of the national table tennis leaders. To put it bluntly, the ITTF goes through a process.

Let's think about it, how can national table tennis slap itself in the mouth? And it's not the first time that the ITTF has not complied with the rules. Do you still remember that on the eve of the 2016 Rio Olympics, Liu Shiwen ranked No. 1 in the world for eight consecutive months and was invited by the International Table Tennis Federation to participate in the Olympic singles? Who's on the end? It's Ding Ning. On April 30, 2016, the ITTF determined the Asian qualifiers men's and women's singles champions Ma Long and Li Xiaoxia as the first Olympic singles quota, and the second singles quota The ITTF invited Liu Shiwen, who is ranked No. 1 in the world, and Fan Zhendong, who is ranked No. 2 in the world, according to the world rankings, and sent an invitation to the Chinese Table Tennis Association on May 20, but in the end this invitation was denied by the Chinese Table Tennis Association, and the singles quotas of Liu Shiwen and Fan Zhendong were replaced by Ding Ning and Zhang Jike.

Therefore, it is not surprising that regarding the determination of the second singles quota of Wang Manyu and Chen Meng, there is a high probability that the next step will be the process of national table tennis, and it is Chen Meng who will finally go to the Olympic singles.

Liu Shiwen and Wang Manyu are really a little sad, are they worse than Ding Ning and Chen Meng? Facts speak louder than words, although Liu Shiwen did not become a Grand Slam and did not participate in the Olympic singles, she holds a World Table Tennis Championships women's singles championship, five World Cup women's singles championships, plus an Olympic women's team champion, and her popularity and influence are no less than some Grand Slams. Why? It's just that some rules of national table tennis are still not fair enough.

Xiaobian Xinxi is not anyone's fan, just a matter of facts, anyway, the editor doesn't understand that Wang Manyu holds 8 women's singles championships such as the women's singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships and the women's singles championship of the Asian Championships in the Paris Olympic cycle, why is it not as good as Chen Meng, who has won 0 championships in three major competitions and only has two women's singles championships in commercial events?

Chen Meng's fans will say that Chen Meng got the quota by virtue of the rules, and the rules are not only for Chen Meng. Then why can Chen Meng lose to Hina Hayada in the tournament without deducting points, and Wang Manyu must deduct points if he loses to Batra in the Saudi Grand Slam commercial event? The rules are not fair, what is there to talk about?

Why Liu Guoliang and the national table tennis coaching staff dare to do this is nothing more than some interests. To put it bluntly, national table tennis, especially women's table tennis, is too strong, and Chen Meng and Wang Manyu basically won't let the champion fall aside, so they dare to ignore fairness like this. But I'm really afraid that in the long run, the echelon construction of national table tennis will be gone, people's enthusiasm will be gone, and even excellent players like He Zhili will be enemies of national table tennis, which will be miserable. What do you say?
