Wang Chuqin lost, was it really because of changing the racket?
The Olympic men's singles was a big upset, with world No. 1 Wang Chuqin losing 2-4 to Sweden's brother Moregaard.
Wang Chuqin's racket was broken yesterday, causing an uproar, which must have an impact on Wang Chuqin, the main and secondary rackets, the power of an athlete's swing, and the accuracy of the landing point will be affected, which is an undeniable fact.
But is changing the racket the whole reason for Wang Chuqin's loss? Obviously not, in this game, Wang Chuqin's own performance is also problematic, and Moregard also limited Wang Chuqin's forehand position. In addition, although this is a contest between the top 32, in fact, it is an eight-in-four, or semi-final contest.
Moregaard is the men's singles runner-up at the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston, and his strength is quite strong, although the state in the past two years has not been as fierce as three years ago, but in an event of this level in the Olympic Games, it is normal to suddenly burst into shape.
Therefore, there are many reasons for Wang Chuqin's loss. Wang Chuqin also told the truth when summing up the loss, he said that changing the racket was not a reason to lose, or he made a lot of mistakes that led to the failure.
However, this also fully confirms a problem, the national table tennis men's team is now less dominant in the world, it is indeed inferior to the women's team, there are many players who can bring us a threat, we look back, just in the past year, the main force of the national table tennis men's team, all lost, and some players lost twice.
Everyone is thinking about it, from the 08 Beijing Olympics to the last Tokyo Olympics, the champions and runners-up of men's singles are our national table tennis people, how difficult it is.
Although Wang Chuqin lost, it doesn't matter, prepare well for the team competition, the big head has already won the mixed championship, which is destined to go down in the history of national table tennis and the Olympic Games, and Wang Chuqin is still young, only 24 years old, four years later in the Los Angeles Olympics, Wang Chuqin has every chance to hit the men's singles championship again.
Think about it, the Dragons won the Olympic men's singles gold medal for the first time at the age of 28.
