On October 18, Beijing time, there was another Xiaoxi in the table tennis world. The WTT World Table Tennis Federation officially announced that Wang Manyu withdrew from the upcoming Montpellier Championship due to injury, and Shi Xunyao participated in the competition. This is her third consecutive retirement after the Asian Championships and the Women's Team Championships. In the previous Chinese Grand Slam, Wang Manyu had an excellent performance, but after that, she retired in succession, which made people worry about her.
Wang Manyu had planned to participate in the Asian Championships, but due to family changes, he had to withdraw from all competitions. At that time, head coach Li Ying revealed that she was unable to participate in the competition due to an emergency when she went home to deal with an emergency. In the women's team competition of the National Championships, Wang Manyu announced her retirement again, and the outside world is also speculating whether she has a more troublesome injury. Because in the Chinese Grand Slam final, Wang Manyu covered his back waist and was suspected of being injured.
Now, she has withdrawn from the Montpellier Championship, which has created new concerns for fans. The continuous absence of many events has made fans who like Wang Manyu more worried. Of course, in the Montpellier Championship this time, the national table tennis is not only Wang Manyu who withdrew. Previously, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin had also announced their withdrawal from the event. This may indicate that the continuous fatigue of the battle has overwhelmed the bodies of the main players of national table tennis.
The withdrawal of Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin and Wang Manyu has made the national table tennis lineup full of uncertainty, which undoubtedly has reduced the combat effectiveness of national table tennis. The Montpellier Championship will be held from October 22 to 27, and the core members of the national table tennis team have been absent, which will inevitably affect the competitiveness of the competition. Of course, the health of the athletes comes first, and table tennis players are already facing very intensive competitions, and it is inevitable that the physical and psychological red lights will be turned on.
Wang Manyu has performed well in the Paris Olympic cycle, and she also has a heavy responsibility for the future. After the successive retirements, fans also expressed their understanding, and hoped that she could adjust as soon as possible and recover her physical and mental health as soon as possible. In addition, the withdrawal of the veterans has also created opportunities for other young players. Shi Xunyao's supplementary participation is worth paying attention to, and whether she can play well in Montpellier, which is full of strong players, will be a major attraction of this competition. Let's wait and see what happens.
