The Paris Olympics are just around the corner, and athletes are gearing up to show off their skills. Before the start of the competition, there are individual events that need to be drawn in groups, and recently, according to the official announcement of the Paris Olympics, the group draw for table tennis has been officially released! In this Paris Olympics, table tennis will compete for the championship of 5 individual events, namely men's singles, women's singles, mixed doubles, men's team and women's team! These 5 individual events, for the Chinese table tennis team, are vows to cover them all, after all, our Chinese table tennis team is a dream team! In the last Tokyo Olympics, we won 4 gold medals in all 5 individual events, the only lost event was mixed doubles, Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin's mixed doubles combination, lost to the host Japan team Mizutani Hayabusa and Ito Misei in the final, relegated to the runner-up, which also made the national table tennis and many fans dissatisfied, all this Paris Olympics, our goal is to win 5 gold medals, there is no room for loss!
Let's take a look at the results of the group draw, compared with the results of the other 4 individual events, the results of the women's singles draw are very controversial, especially for Sun Yingsha, which is quite unfavorable, Sun Yingsha, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the world in women's singles, is likely to win the championship plan will be in vain, which also makes Liu Guoliang very worried!
A total of 67 players will compete in the Paris Olympics, and six athletes will compete in a play-off match, with the three winners competing in the round of 64 with the other 61 athletes. At present, the group draw has ended, and Sun Yingsha is in trouble because she is stuck in the death half. According to the latest table tennis women's singles world rankings, Hayada Hina is undoubtedly the highest-ranked player in addition to Chinese players, and the competition for the women's singles gold medal at the Paris Olympics, the biggest competitor of the Chinese team is Hayada Hina, all of which gives Sun Yingsha a lot of pressure.
Secondly, Sun Yingsha in the death half zone, but also encountered a strong opponent, that is, the strange ball player from India Akula, the India player's granular play, it can be said that the Chinese table tennis team suffered, although the strength of the India players is not strong, but in the table tennis game, in the face of strange play, no one dares to guarantee a 100% win. You know, the Olympics is a sure victory, there is no chance of error, once you lose, you will be eliminated directly, whether it is the India monster player, or Japan's sister Hayada Hina, which is a difficult "bone" for Sun Yingsha.
In addition, the women's singles of this Olympic Games all use 7 games and 4 wins, you must know that in addition to participating in the women's singles competition, Sun Yingsha will also participate in the mixed doubles and women's team competitions, which is a huge test for Sun Yingsha's physical fitness, although Sun Yingsha is young, but such a high-intensity competition, and the schedule is so dense, not to mention female players, even male players are difficult to eat.
Compared with Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng's opponent in the lower half is a little easier, but Chen Meng's competitive state has declined greatly since the end of the Tokyo Olympics, and when competing for the qualification of the women's singles of the Paris Olympics, it was also won by defeating Wang Manyu at the last moment, which also caused a lot of controversy, and there are many rumors about Chen Meng on the Internet, these are all factors that affect Chen Meng's state, how far Chen Meng can go, is still an unknown, and Sun Yingsha, who has the best chance to win the gold medal, is facing many surroundings, the gold medal in women's singles is really worrying, I have to say that Liu Guoliang is really afraid of something!
