At the Asian Table Tennis Championships, Wang Chuqin, the first brother of national table tennis, was upset again! In the men's singles quarterfinals, Wang Chuqin lost 1-3 to 18-year-old Korea's Oh Hyun-sung and missed the semifinals, with four sets 8-11, 11-2, 8-11, 6-11. Wu will face Tomokazu Zhang in the semifinals.
It is worth mentioning that Tian Zhixi, a former national table tennis player who became a naturalized Korea citizen, uncovered Wang Chuqin's scar in the live broadcast and revealed a thing that made us ashamed: "Xiao Wu (Wu Huicheng) was not eligible for this competition because Lee Sang-so gave up himself. ”
Wang Chuqin has become a table tennis promotion master since his upset loss to Moregard at the Paris Olympics. Because of the Chinese Grand Slam, he let the outside world know the story of Denmark's dark horse Linde's miraculous comeback after a car accident; Because of the Asian Championships, we know how talented 14-year-old Benjamin of Iran is, and now we know the inspirational story of how Korea's Oh Hyun-sung was in danger.
Wang Chuqin's ceiling is just speculation, because he has not had any singles champions in the three major tournaments, but the lower limit is very low, anyone can lose, although it is the world's No. 1 in points, but to a large extent it depends on a series of commercial events of the WTT World Table Tennis Federation created by Liu Guoliang, from this point of view, he is stained with the dividends of the times. From being poured cold water at the Paris Olympics to the successive "upsets" since the start of the Los Angeles cycle, he needs to find himself again.
In addition, when Tian Zhixi discussed the North Korean team member Kim Qinying, who defeated Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi in this Asian Championships and reached the women's singles final, he revealed their personal relationship with the North Korean women's team: "I used to see people in the north, like Kim Songyi, everyone had a good relationship, chatting and playing in one room, but since the relationship was not good, there was no communication, and there was no greeting or talking when they met." ”
At the Paris Olympics, China, North Korea and South Korea stood on the table tennis mixed doubles podium, Kim Qinying smiled happily because of the group photo, and was also said by the Korea media that she would be punished for mining after returning, but it was not until the Asian Championships women's team 1/4 final appearance defeated Sun Yingsha that we knew that this was complete nonsense.
