The 2024 Paris Olympics is getting closer and closer, and the Olympic seeds for the table tennis singles event are determined on July 16, combined with the schedule and related news, the top 4 seeds in men's singles have been finalized, and Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong of the Chinese table tennis team have locked the top 2 seeds. In the women's singles, the top three seeds were also finalized in advance, namely Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and Hina Hayata.
Men's Singles Olympic seed
1. Wang Chuqin: 7925 points
2. Fan Zhendong: 3662 points
3. Lebrendi: 3587 points
4. Calderano: 3545 points
5. Lin Yunru: 2616 points
6. Qiu Dang: 2015 points
7. Tomokazu Zhangmoto: 1980 points
8. Zhang Yuzhen: 1665 points
9. Ocharov: 1535 points
10. Hayasuke Togami: 1320 points
The Olympic seeds are determined according to the world rankings, which are the world rankings on July 16, and the above data is the valid points of all Olympic singles players on July 16. For example, Fan Zhendong's current world ranking points are 4228 points, but 280 points expire on July 2 and 600 points expire on July 9.
Wang Chuqin took a cliff-like lead with 7,925 points, and had already locked in the top seed in the men's singles at the Paris Olympics. Fan Zhendong's Olympic seeding has been beating, having previously dropped to sixth, before moving up to second with his win at the Chongqing Championships. After the Chongqing Championships, the national table tennis players entered a state of retreat and training, and Fan Zhendong's Olympic seed points were fixed at 3662 points.
Both Lebolendi and Calderano have a chance to surpass Fan Zhendong, but Lebolendi decided to withdraw from the Bangkok Star Challenge on June 22, and Calderano withdrew on June 28. As a result, both Lebolanti and Calderano are seeded for the Olympic rankings, with Lebolendi 3,587 points and Calderano 3,545 points to secure the No. 4 seed.
As for the other players, Lin Yunru, Tomokazu Zhangmoto, Zhang Yuzhen and other players will also participate in the Bangkok Star Challenge, and Tomokazu Zhang is participating in the Tunisia regular challenge. 600 points will be awarded for winning the Bangkok Stars Challenge, and 400 points for winning the Tunisia Regular Challenge. Therefore, the top 4 seeds in the men's singles at the Paris Olympics have been confirmed, and the other seeds will need to wait until the end of the Bangkok tournament.
Women's Singles Olympic seed
1. Sun Yingsha: 8100 points
2. Chen Meng: 5290 points
3. Hina Hayata: 3600 points
4. Shen Yubin: 1795 points
5. Szokos: 1582 points
6. Diaz: 1520 points
7. Zheng Yijing: 1462 points
8, Miu Hirano: 1333 minutes
9. Tian Zhixi: 1242 points
Women's Singles looks a little more complicated, but the top three seeds have already been decided. Sun Yingsha locked the top seed of the Paris Olympics early with 8,100 points, and Chen Meng ranked second with 5,290 points. Although Hina Hayada will also participate in the Bangkok Challenge, it is obvious that she cannot surpass Chen Meng; Hina Hayata, on the other hand, has a larger lead over Shin Yubin and Szokos, so she is locked in the No. 3 seed.
The difference between Shin Yubin, Szokos and Diaz is not large, and Shin Yubin currently has a certain advantage, and winning the championship will inevitably lock in the fourth seed. However, Szokos and Diaz theoretically have a chance to rise to the No. 4 seed, but this probability is not very high. In addition to Hina Hayata's participation, there are also national table tennis star Chen Xingtong and Japanese table tennis player Miwa Zhang Ben will participate in the Bangkok station. On the whole, the No. 4 seed in women's singles is likely to be Shen Yubin, and there is still some suspense about the seeds in the back.
