ITTF Reform 65438+February 20th Report: ITTF's proposal to limit the number of participants in the Olympic Games and the World Table Tennis Championships will definitely have a great impact on the overall strength of the China table tennis team. As we all know, China table tennis has a solid foundation, top players emerge one after another, and the internal competition is fierce. The number of people who can take part in the competition is already very limited. If it continues to decrease, not only the loss of athletes, but also the dominance of table tennis will be affected. The direct consequence of changing three people into two people is that the final of the national table tennis meeting is more difficult and the grasp of winning gold is obviously reduced. No.3 player has always played an important role in the history of table tennis Olympic Games. Although the third place may not play a decisive role, after all, one more person has a greater probability of winning the gold medal, which can at least clear the way for teammates to win the championship. At the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, Liu Xiao, the No.3 player, won the double championship in the end. Guo Ping's No.3 player has never been a supporting role. In fact, this position is crucial, because there are many talents and new talents are constantly emerging. The choice of a quota will have certain guiding factors for the overall trend of winning gold medals. Even though Guo Ping's overall strength is very strong, it is difficult to join hands when there are only two players. If one of them makes a slight mistake, the other will bear unprecedented pressure. After all, Guo Ping's status and environment are far from other teams, and once the gold medal is lost, it will be questioned. Needless to say, the Olympic Games is of great significance to an athlete. For many excellent athletes in China, it is a lifelong dream to have the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games. If it is reduced to two, not to mention winning the gold medal, even the dream of participating in the Olympic Games will be shattered, and the impact on athletes can be imagined. At last year's Beijing Olympic Games, three men's and women's singles players from China were in the top four, and both of them successfully joined the final. When three five-star red flags are raised in unison, a sense of honor arises spontaneously, which is the glory of Guo Ping. However, after the introduction of the New Deal, it will be impossible for Guo Ping to win the top three forever, and it is very difficult to keep the first line, which requires players to be excellent in all aspects, such as on-the-spot state and competition psychology, without any mistakes. As we all know, the competition in table tennis is fierce, and the new policy of the Table Tennis Association will undoubtedly aggravate this trend. Take the men's singles as an example. And Wang, two veterans, have no plans to quit. Wang Hao, the number one in the world, is in his prime, while Malone, Xu Xin and ZhangJike are all on the rise. All six of them may take part in the London Olympics, but only two of them have a chance. This is a difficult problem for the coaching staff. Women's singles are also difficult to choose. Even if Zhang Yining can't go to London, Li, Liu and even Ding Ning have the strength to win the gold medal in the competition. Two places are far from enough. ITTF has given China table tennis team problems again and again. Guo Ping can only strengthen its own strength and be foolproof. Compared with three people, two people have obvious disadvantages, and it is an indisputable fact that the probability of winning gold is reduced. Those who can participate in the Olympic Games will be the most powerful and extremely lucky players. Regarding the New Deal, Guo Ping will certainly be more cautious about the candidates for the Olympic Games than before. The state during the Olympic Games is unpredictable, and a slight mistake may lead to overall passivity, which makes it impossible for Guo Ping to make any mistakes. I believe that the candidate of Guo Ping in London is uncertain until the last moment. After all, Guo Ping's reputation is at stake. The shortage of Olympic singles places will undoubtedly put forward higher requirements for table tennis, and the internal competition is bound to become more intense. Three years later, the London Olympic Games actually started from this moment.
