The WTT Beijing Grand Slam is underway, and the national table tennis players will be competing fiercely for the Los Angeles Olympics in four years at the beginning of the new cycle. In the national table tennis women's team, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are like the "two kings and one horse" era, and no one has been crowned a Grand Slam so far.
In the mixed mining area of this tournament, the reporter asked Misei Ito: "Who do you think is the best table tennis player?" The response given by the talented girl in Japan sparked controversy, and she gave Chen Meng the choice of the strongest person: "I think Chen Meng in particular is more powerful, because she won the Olympic championship twice, she has a very strong heart and hard work." In her opinion, Chen Meng's championship is more golden: two Olympic women's singles champions; The characteristics are also outstanding: energetic and enterprising!
Some netizens pointed out, why did Ito Misei praise Chen Meng as the strongest person? "Ito: Back then, I was a string of five, and my record included but was not limited to winning Liu Shiwen twice, winning Zhu Yuling twice, winning Wang Manyu twice, winning Sun Yingsha twice, winning Wang Yidi twice, winning Chen Xingtong once, and winning Ding Ning four times, but I just didn't win Chen Meng." It can be seen that Misei Ito still remembers her seven defeats against Chen Meng, so in her eyes, Chen Meng is an insurmountable mountain, just like Zhang Benzhi and Xu Xin, who has never won.
Chen Meng and Ito's seventh meeting is on December 16, 2023, the WTT women's finals will be held in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, women's singles 1/4 finals, Chen Meng defeated Ito Misei 3-0, the whole match only allowed the opponent to score 16 points, Ito was beaten and cried again after the game, which shows how strong Chen Meng's absolute strength is in the face of Ito Micheng!
Ito's words aroused questions from fans, after all, the current culture of the national table tennis circle is very widespread. In the women's singles final of the Paris Olympics, there were uncivilized phenomena such as fans giving Chen Meng the middle finger, and even the sponsors played the embarrassing phenomenon of "congratulations to Sun Yingsha for winning the Grand Slam" in advance, which can be seen that many people in China are not optimistic about Chen Meng defending the title. After Chen Meng won the championship, she said that she wanted to prove it to everyone, which shows that she knows what position she is in in her heart.
If you really want to talk about who is the strongest at the moment, you have to consider the factors of other players, because everyone has a different opinion, and it may be better to see the problem by removing the filter to look at it.
