Qatar Open is underway. As a platinum event, Qatar Station has more significance. The Busan World Table Tennis Championship has not been postponed before. The National Table Tennis Championship originally planned to use the Qatar Open as a warm-up match to test the results of the training camp. Now it is affected by the epidemic. The postponement of the World Table Tennis Championships increased the weight of the Qatar Open. The national table tennis players decided to donate all their prize money to support the Wuhan area. The good news is that the new national table tennis star Wang Chuqin partner Sun Yingsha has qualified for the Olympic mixed doubles.
According to ITTF rules, Germany, Qatar, and Japan will determine five Olympic mixed doubles qualifications. Among them, there are two in Germany and Qatar, and one in Japan, provided that they must reach the finals. The German Open Guoping sent a combination of Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen and Lin Gaoyuan/Sun Yingsha. Lin Gaoyuan/Sun Yingsha lost to Mizutani Hayabusa/Ito Mima and failed to reach the finals and therefore failed to qualify for the Olympic Games. After Liu Shiwen retired from the Qatar Open, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha became the only seedlings of the national table tennis. The two went all the way from the qualifying rounds to the finals. Therefore, the two were also determined to qualify for the Olympics. The finals will be combined with the Japanese Olympic team Mizutani/ Mima Ito competed for the championship.
However, qualifying for the Olympic Games does not mean that you can participate. The Olympic mixed doubles requires only one pair of combinations for each association. Therefore, Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen and Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha can only have one pair to stand in Tokyo. In the mixed doubles arena of the Olympics.
Recently, Liu Shiwen has suffered from serious injuries. In the last year, Liu Shiwen has retired 7 times. Foot injuries, elbow injuries, and waist injuries have plagued Liu Shiwen. This time Liu Shiwen also withdrew from the Qatar Open. With high intensity and pressure, Liu Shiwen's current physical condition still has big problems.
After Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha qualified for the Olympic mixed doubles, Liu Guoliang already has a spare tire plan. At the same time, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha are also potential candidates for the next Olympics. Use the two new stars to stimulate Liu Shiwen. Liu Guoliang has done two birds with one stone. It's time to have fun. Of course, Liu Shiwen's Tokyo mixed double qualification is relatively safe, but the premise is that Liu Shiwen can have a healthy body.
