World Table Tennis Championship Team Championship Trophy
Chinese women's team deserves to be the "Dream Team"
History has had two eight consecutive championship feats. This year, the 22nd championship
Friends who are familiar with table tennis know that the World Table Tennis Championship has experienced more than 90 years of history, and the Chinese table tennis team joined ITTF in 1953 and participated in the 20th World Table Tennis Championship held in Croatia that year. In the first World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese table tennis coach was Liang Zhuohui . Three athletes from the men's team participated and were assigned to Class A. , Sun Meiying, and Li Linshu, two female players, represented the Chinese girl group in the competition and were included in the B class. In the end, the Chinese girl group won the third place in the B class. In 1954 and 1955, after
, the Chinese national table tennis team competitions were not participated in the World Table Tennis Championships held in the UK and Netherlands . In 1956, the national table tennis team formed a team to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships held in Japan, and the women's team finally won the 11th place in the Class A.
957 was the year when the Chinese table tennis team achieved a breakthrough in the World Table Tennis Championships. Both the Chinese men's and women's teams achieved third place in the world and became one of the world's strong teams. In 1959, the Chinese men's and women's teams won the third place in the World Table Tennis Championships again, and in this World Table Tennis Championships, Rong Guotuan also won the men's singles championship, which is also the first championship that the Chinese table tennis team won in the World Championships! 1961, the Chinese men's team won the World Table Tennis Championships team championship for three consecutive times (1961, 1963, 1965), and Zhuang Zedong won the World Table Tennis Championships men's singles championship for three consecutive times. When the boys are firmly on the top of the world, the girl groups will have to wait for a few years. In 1965, the Chinese women's team finally achieved a historic breakthrough after experiencing firewood and tasting gall - they won the first women's team championship in the World Table Tennis Championships, and in this World Table Tennis Championships, Lin Huiqing /Zheng Minzhi also won the first women's doubles championship in the World Table Tennis Championships. Chinese women's group data picture
975, the Chinese women's group won the Women's Group Championship again after ten years, and thus started the subsequent eight consecutive championships of the Women's Group in the World Table Tennis Championships! 1991 was the "Waterloo" of the Chinese table tennis team in the World Table Tennis Championships. The Chinese men's team only finished seventh, setting the worst record since 1961. The Chinese women's team, led by Deng Yaping, Qiao Hong, Gao Jun, Chen Zihe, , regretfully lost to the North Korean and South Korean team in the final, winning the runner-up, and failed to achieve the goal of nine consecutive championships. However, in 1993, the Chinese women's team made a comeback, defended its honor again, and won the women's team championships of the 42nd to 49th World Table Tennis Championships, winning eight consecutive championships again. In the five World Table Tennis Championships team competitions from 2010 to 2018, the Chinese women's team only lost to the champion once. In the World Table Tennis Championships women's team finals held in Moscow, Russia in 2010, Zhang Yining and Wang Nan retired. The Chinese women's team, which was just led by the newcomer, lost 1-3 to the Singapore team led by famous players such as Feng Tianwei, Li Jiawei, Wang Yuegu , and Wang Yuegu . The scene of Liu Shiwen, Ding Ning , and Guo Yan still remembers it vividly. However, in the subsequent four World Table Tennis Championships women's team battles (2020 World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, South Korea was cancelled due to the epidemic), the Chinese girls did not let the championship fall and won four consecutive championships again. Looking at the history of the team competition of the Chinese table tennis team, the Chinese women's team in won a total of 21 championships, including two eight consecutive championships and four consecutive championships in . The "Dream Team" deserves it!
China's four golden flowers are the top four in the world
"China-Japan Contest" is still the biggest highlight of women's team competition
At the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships team competition, the national table tennis team sent the strongest lineup.The Chinese girl group is composed of Sun Yingsha , Chen Meng , Wang Manyu , Wang Yidi , and Chen Xingtong , striving to achieve the goal of winning the Kowbilen Cup for five consecutive times. The team competition of the World Table Tennis Championships that was originally scheduled to be held in Busan, South Korea was forced to be cancelled two years ago, so the Chinese women's team has undergone a huge change compared to the lineup of the World Table Tennis Championships when it last played in the World Table Tennis Championships four years ago. Ding Ning, who won the championship for the Chinese women's team at the World Table Tennis Championships in Halmstad, Sweden, had retired, and Liu Shiwen and Zhu Yuling and gradually faded out. However, there are talented people in the national table tennis industry. Now, the "three golden flowers" of Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu occupy the top three in the women's singles world, while Wang Yidi follows them and ranks fourth.
The above four players and fans are all very familiar with each other. Chen Xingtong won the women's singles championship at the Muscat station of the WTT regular challenge tournament and won the last ticket to the Chinese women's team in this World Table Tennis Championships. Chen Xingtong's ability is of course trustworthy to be able to qualify as the fifth player in the women's team in the extremely fierce competition within the national table tennis team. At the age of 25, she is at the golden age of an athlete. Although he is definitely positioned as a substitute in the team, Chen Xingtong has been actively preparing and contributing to the team at any time. In an interview earlier, Chen Xingtong expressed his hope to contribute to the Chinese women's team's World Table Tennis Championships.
The main opponent of the Chinese women's team in the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships is still the Japanese women's team, and the "China-Japan Contest" is the biggest highlight of the women's team competition. Japanese women's table tennis players have made great progress in recent years. The Japanese team led by Ito Mima has already possessed considerable strength, and their team competition is also very fierce. Famous players Ishikawa Kasumi and Hirano Miu have both lost to the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships team competition list. The athletes of the Japanese women's team participating in this World Table Tennis Championships are Ito Mima, Hayata Shina , Miyu Kihara, Nagasaki Miyu , and Sato Hitomi . The outside world also believes that it is highly likely that the Japanese girl group will reach the finals and meet with the Chinese girl group.
We are also looking forward to seeing a wonderful battle in the girls’ team finals held on October 8. Of course, I would like to wish the Chinese girls’ team success in Chengdu!
