Dear fans, today I would like to bring you a blockbuster news! The World Table Tennis Federation has just officially announced the complete list of the Chinese Grand Slam, which makes the editor so excited that he almost threw his mobile phone out! I didn't expect our national table tennis to send 32 people to participate in the competition, this battle is simply going to scare other national teams stupidly, right?
Having said that, this WTT China Grand Slam is no ordinary competition. As a top event in the table tennis world, its influence can be said to be world-renowned. Unbelief? Let's take a look at the data:
According to statistics, the global live audience of the last Grand Slam exceeded 200 million! What is this concept? It is equivalent to 1 out of every 7 people in China watching the game, which is simply a "national sport"! But there's more to this contest than that.
Background: More than just a game
Don't worry, everyone, the editor will sell it first. Do you know why this contest is so important?
It turns out that this Grand Slam is not just about competing for trophies, but also about competing for world ranking points! You know, it's less than a year before the Paris Olympics, and every point you can get into qualifying for the Olympics. Therefore, this competition can be said to be "the sword is aimed at Paris"!
Readiness: Who is the strongest king?
Speaking of contestants, that's a lot of fun. Our national table tennis sent 32 people to participate in the competition this time, which is simply out of the nest! Among them, the most anticipated are, of course, our "Three Musketeers of National Table Tennis" - Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng.
However, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng did not participate this time! This made my jaw drop. Is it to make way for the younger players? Or is there another reason? You can guess in the comment area!
On the other side, Tomokazu Zhangmoto and Misei Ito of the Japan team are gearing up and preparing for a disgrace. Last time in the Olympics, they were killed by our national table tennis, and this time they will definitely make a big move!
Tournament innovation: technology changes table tennis
Speaking of innovation, this competition has put a lot of effort into it. It is said that the organizing committee has introduced an AI smart table that can analyze the angle and strength of the player's shot in real time. Is this to play table tennis as a "science fiction movie"?
Moreover, the competition will also use 5G+VR live broadcast technology for the first time, making the audience feel as if they are in the arena. Think about it, sitting at home and being able to watch Ma Long's serve in 360 degrees is not too cool!
Global impact: not just sports, but culture
Fans, don't underestimate this game. It is not only a sports feast, but also an opportunity for cultural exchange.
Did you know? After last year's Grand Slam, global table tennis equipment sales increased by 15%! What does this mean? It shows that our national ball is exporting Chinese culture to the world!
Moreover, the competition also attracted many sponsors from multinational companies. I heard that a well-known sports brand has specially designed a "Chinese style" racket for this purpose, isn't this the embodiment of cultural soft power?
Guide: Watching the game also requires skill
Finally, I would like to give you a trick. If you want to watch the game perfectly, you need to pay attention to the following points:
Having said all that, I can't wait to watch the game! What about you? Hurry up and tell the editor in the comment area, which player's performance are you most looking forward to?
Finally, what I want to say is that no matter what the result is, we must treat it with a normal heart. After all, isn't the charm of sports its uncertainty? Let us cheer for the national table tennis and the development of the world table tennis arena!
Well, that's all for today's sharing. Remember to like and retweet, and we'll see you next time!
