Table Tennis Review: Why did Wang Manyu miss the singles in Paris? Is he really suppressed by the coaching staff?

After Chen Meng, he came to the second place! However, Wang Manyu's advantage in leading Chen Meng at this time is not great!

In fact, if we follow the selection rules previously promulgated by the Chinese Table Tennis Association, the 2024 Macau World Cup will be the last stop of the selection. According to the previously promulgated rules, according to the world ranking points and the international competition reward points announced by the ITTF on May 7, 2024, Wang Manyu is ranked second at this time! He has been qualified for singles in the Paris Olympics!

However, after the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, the Chinese Table Tennis Association issued an optimization plan for the selection rules. The women's team's Olympic selection deadline was adjusted to May 14 after the end of the WTT Saudi Grand Slam. The extension of the assessment time is conducive to further examining the athletes' competitive status in other associations' competitions.

Finally, Wang Manyu, who finally caught up with the points, still needs to pass the test of the last round of the selection match - the Saudi Grand Slam to get the final singles place!

At that time, Sun Yingsha led by 26,950 points and locked in one singles qualification.

, while Wang Manyu ranked second with 14,965 points, and Chen Meng ranked third with 13,410. Wang Manyu leads Chen Meng by 1,555 points!

The situation at that time was very beneficial to Wang Manyu. In the last Saudi Grand Slam, as long as Wang Manyu is not inferior to the foreign battle and can reach the final, he can lock in the singles qualification for the Olympics!

But for Chen Meng, if you want to get another singles qualification, in addition to winning the championship, it also depends on Wang Manyu's performance. As long as Wang Manyu can advance to the final, he will completely miss the singles in the Paris Olympics!

However, no one would have thought that in this last round of trials, Wang Manyu performed poorly in the second round against Indian player Batra and eventually lost to Batra!

Wang Manyu's defeat in this foreign battle will also give up the Olympic singles qualification that has almost been obtained! Chen Meng also made a concerted effort and successfully reached the final and defeated Sun Yingsha in the final. While winning the women's singles championship in the Saudi Grand Slam, he also locked in another singles place in the Olympics!

It is indeed a pity for Wang Manyu. During the selection cycle, Wang Manyu was in a relatively backward position, but she still tried hard to catch up and once overtook the second place! But unfortunately, in the last round of the trial, Wang Manyu still failed to withstand the pressure and lost the foreign battle!

And this is also the main reason why Wang Manyu missed the singles in the Paris Olympics!

Wang Manyu later talked about this matter in an interview: "In fact, everyone knows the rules of competition. In every competition, there will be who will lead and who will fall behind. Saudi Arabia will actually know what the result will be after playing the game. The sad point is that he has the opportunity to compete for singles in front of Saudi Arabia. It is a pity and regret for Saudi Arabia not to play well, but he is still very happy to sign up for the group. It is also his own glory to be able to represent the Chinese team to participate in the Olympics. "

Therefore, Wang Manyu missed the singles in the Paris Olympics, and it is more because he did not withstand the pressure at the last moment, and there is no so-called coaching team suppression at all!

For Wang Manyu, the Paris Olympics is over, and the most important thing is to be yourself, play future games well, and strive to compete for singles at the Los Angeles Olympics! Come on!
