[Beijing time, July 31, 2024] The table tennis field of the Paris Olympics can be described as a climax today, especially the men's singles 1/16 finals staged an upset drama!
Wang Chuqin, who had just won the mixed doubles championship, should have continued to soar, but due to the "mistaken" incident of the main racket, he had to use the "sub-board" to compete, and finally lost 2-4 to Sweden's Moregard and stopped in the round of 32. This game is not only Wang Chuqin's regret, but also a "difficult to peace" in the hearts of fans.
In an emergency, the motherboard was damaged, and Wang Chuqin's "sub-board" went into battle
In the moment of celebration after winning the mixed doubles final yesterday, Wang Chuqin's main racket was accidentally trampled on by a photojournalist at the scene, which made him have to use the "sub-board" in today's men's singles match. Although he is currently the world's No. 1 men's singles player, the discomfort caused by the change of board still had a noticeable impact on his performance. Table tennis is a sport that relies heavily on rackets, and details such as the feel, weight, and friction of rackets can affect the performance of athletes.
Game review: fought for six games, and finally regretted to be out
At the beginning of the game, Wang Chuqin did not back down because of changing rackets. In the first game, he quickly got into the groove and took a 5-3 lead. Unfortunately, Moregard was not an idle man, and soon won the first game 12-10.
The situation in the second game was even more tense, and the score was tied for a while, but Wang Chuqin made a mistake at the critical moment and lost another game 7-11.
Faced with a 0-2 situation, Wang Chuqin adjusted his mentality in time in the third game, and under the guidance of coach Xiao Zhan, he calmly responded, stabilized the situation, and pulled back a game 11-5.
In the fourth game, Wang Chuqin once again showed his strength as the world's No. 1, quickly widening the gap at the beginning, and finally won 11-7 again, chasing the score to 2-2.
However, the fifth game became the turning point. Although Wang Chuqin tried hard to chase the score to 9-9, Moregard made two consecutive accurate attacks and finally won 11-9.
In the sixth game, Wang Chuqin was obviously a little powerless, and Moregard became more and more courageous, and finally sealed the victory 11-6.
The audience is hotly discussed: Wang Chuqin's tenacity and Moregard's surprise
After this game, the network quickly exploded.
Netizens felt sorry for Wang Chuqin, and the word "sub-board" also became a hot search topic.
"The racket is broken, and God will make people!"
"The national soldier is never in the bag, every point is played" He is already great, no matter what the results are, I hope he will still move forward firmly and confidently, just like the commentary: teenagers never lack the courage to start over again [struggle] [struggle] [struggle] [struggle]
Of course, Moregaard's performance has also won many praises
From this competition, it is not difficult to see how important the psychological quality of athletes is in the on-the-spot adaptation. Although Wang Chuqin is unfortunately out, the tenacity and spirit of not giving up on the court are worth learning from all of us. He still gave his best in the face of sudden difficulties, and this spirit is what all athletes and even ordinary people should have.
Personal opinion: The growth in regret is still promising in the future
As a viewer, I feel sorry for Wang Chuqin, but I am even more moved by his tenacious fighting spirit. Although the result of this competition was not satisfactory, I believe that this experience will make him more mature. After all, life is always full of unknown challenges, and what matters is how we deal with them.
This defeat may have been just a small episode in Wang's illustrious career. In the future, he still has a chance to prove himself on the field. Looking forward to him fighting bravely again in the next men's team competition and winning more honors for Chinese table tennis!
