For the first time, Chen Meng responded to qualifying for the singles at the Paris Olympics and revealed his singles goals

Chen Meng's counterattack

As a leading female player in national table tennis, Chen Meng has never stopped moving forward on the career track of life. From just being selected for the national team to now becoming a top player in the world table tennis arena, her growth trajectory can be described as ups and downs, but every setback has become her driving force.

Back on May 14, 2024, the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced the list of participants for the Paris Olympics, which has also become a large-scale "reshuffle" within the national table tennis. In this adjustment, Chen Meng successfully qualified for singles with his outstanding performance and became the focus of attention. Before that, she could be said to be on the "last train". Compared with teammates Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, etc., Chen Meng's road to promotion can be described as magnificent.

As a "dark horse" in the eyes of the coach, Chen Meng broke through the encirclement at the last moment and won the singles qualification, which sparked widespread discussion. As early as June 27, she spoke for the first time in CCTV's "People in the Olympic Year" program, and sincerely told her mental journey.

Chen Meng said frankly that being able to participate in the singles competition of the Olympic Games again was an unexpected surprise for him. She didn't expect that at the last moment, she would be able to stand out and make it to the Olympic singles list. "I don't think I gave up." Chen Meng summed it up simply. This sentence expresses her determination and courage to never give up.

Subsequently, Chen Meng mentioned the way he pays attention to regulating his mood in the process of preparing for the battle - drinking tea. As an athlete who fell in love with the tea ceremony due to the influence of his family since he was a child, Chen Meng would choose different types of tea drinks to regulate his mood before and after preparing for the competition. "When I set off to participate in the competition, I always bring several kinds of tea, and choose according to my mood and feelings." She said.

In Chen Meng's eyes, drinking tea not only calms her mind, but also allows her to take a short break from her busy training and competitions. This practice of relaxing through tea also provides a guarantee for her to stay in good shape at critical moments. In contrast, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, who are also the main players of national table tennis, may still lack experience and ability in this area.

For Chen Meng to successfully enter the singles list at the last moment with the help of the Saudi Grand Slam tournament, this is undoubtedly a great counterattack. There, she defeated three of Japan's top players in table tennis – Hina Hayata, Miu Hirano and Miwa Haramoto. This is undoubtedly a magnificent victory.

Chen Meng said frankly that these three players are very strong, "the lethality and danger are very great." However, through careful analysis of the match footage, as well as thorough tactical and mental preparation, she ultimately managed to defeat these top opponents. This is undoubtedly the result of her years of training and accumulation, and it also proves her status as the leader of national table tennis.

Although Chen Meng was no longer confused, she did not back down because of this. On the contrary, she is confident in her fitness reserves, believing that recovery may be a little slower as she ages, but as long as she has a good physical foundation, she will not have any problems at the Olympics. She said that every day she has to beat herself the day before, and this "fighting" mentality will surely become her biggest advantage at the Paris Olympics.

At the upcoming Olympic Games, Chen Meng's goal is clear – first of all, to ensure that he does not lose to foreign competitors and reaches the final. This shows that she has not let her guard down too much, and still holds herself to the highest standards. For the table tennis veteran, the Olympic stage is the best time for her to show her strengths, and it is also the highest honor she has always pursued.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Meng mentioned in an interview that the national table tennis is preparing intensively in Chengdu to prepare for the upcoming Olympic Games. At the same time, the purpose of CCTV's broadcast of the program this time is also to cheer for the athletes and transmit positive energy. This undoubtedly shows the ardent expectations of the country and all table tennis fans for the national table tennis, and we believe that with the efforts of this great team, Paris will be able to reproduce the glory of the national table tennis.

Chen Meng's counterattack is undoubtedly a wonderful life journey. From obscurity to becoming a leading female general, with her tenacious will and unremitting efforts, she has overcome many challenges again and again, and finally realized the sublimation of her own value. Her growth trajectory is undoubtedly a stirring song of struggle, and she will surely become a model and motivation for those who come after her. We believe that in the upcoming Paris Olympic Games, Chen Meng will definitely show her style again and add countless glory to the motherland.

Chen Meng's counterattack

Although he only qualified for the Olympic singles at the last moment, Chen Meng was not complacent at all. She is well aware that she will have to overcome all the challenges she will have to overcome in order to achieve her ultimate goal at the upcoming Paris Olympics.

In the face of the onslaught of world-class athletes, she must always maintain a high level of vigilance and focus.

At the same time, Chen Meng did not ignore his own problems. She admits that as she gets older, her recovery ability may decline slightly, which will undoubtedly have a certain impact on her preparation. But she also said that as long as you accumulate enough physical reserves, this problem can be effectively solved.

It is with such a fighting spirit of never admitting defeat that Chen Meng can repeatedly overcome adversity at critical moments and finally advance to the Olympic singles list.
