October 23, 2021, German world champion Ocharov spoke out and reported his safety to the fans, saying that he wanted to tell everyone a bad news. He sprained his ankle during training and could not continue to persist. He could only withdraw from the next challenge held in Tunisia and Slovenia. At the same time, he also revealed that after consulting experts, he chose to undergo surgery for treatment and is now in the recovery stage.
Ocharov introduced that he was injured and had an accident. Later, after consultation, he decided to undergo ankle surgery, which would help him recover soon. The operation is very successful at present. Please rest assured. Next, he devoted himself to the upcoming rehabilitation training. He originally wanted to take advantage of the momentum established during the Olympics to strive for good results in the World Table Tennis Championships, but now he is very sorry and has to withdraw from the competition.
After the list of World Table Tennis Championships was announced, the German team adjusted the most times. First, the chopper Firus withdrew, and the straight-board young player Qiu Dang substituted. Now Ocharov withdrew, and the coaching staff also had to arrange new players to play. Ocharov is currently in recovery period and has difficulty moving with a crutch. He needs more time to rest and extend his career. He is expected to not participate in any competition this year.
Ocharov is a men's singles player. He has won the men's table tennis World Cup championship and won the Olympic singles bronze medal twice. He has ranked first in the world. Ocharov defeated Lin Yunru to win bronze at the Tokyo Olympics. Although he failed to defeat Ma Long, the wonderful showdown between the two still makes many fans remember it vividly. Ocharov hopes to win Ma Long once, but he has never done it in so many years.
Outside fans say that Ocharov is Malone's great guardian. Now that everyone knows that Ocharov has withdrawn from the World Table Tennis Championships, they also hope that he will recover well, strive for a speedy recovery, and return to the arena. In fact, as long as he is a veteran, everyone has injuries, some choose to retire, and some choose to persist, this is normal. Ocharov is still continuing to fight for his dream.
It is worth mentioning that among Chinese fans, Ocharov still has good popularity and has received a lot of support. When he posted an update, reported his safety to everyone, and confirmed his withdrawal from the World Table Tennis Championships, many people responded, hoping that he would recover as soon as possible, care about his injury, and regret Ocharov's absence, his old opponent withdrew from the game, which would reduce the highlights.
At present, the national table tennis team has not confirmed the list of the World Table Tennis Championships. No matter how they are arranged, there is only one principle. We must come up with the strongest lineup and strive to win five individual events. While choosing a mobile phone for young people, it is inevitable to consider the experience of the competition. Usually, there will be a veteran leading the team. Let us wait and see who the coaching team uses. Finally, I wish Ocharov a speedy recovery.
