On February 11, the 30th of the Lunar New Year, when people across the country celebrate New Year's Eve, Guoping also used a variety of activities in Lingshui, Hainan, to let athletes and coaches who cannot be reunited with their families feel the festive atmosphere. However, a piece of sudden news may have an impact on the national table tennis game plan in the future, and it is also very unfavorable for preparing for the Tokyo Olympics.
On the New Year's Eve of the nationwide celebration, National Ping Pong still completed the planned training before starting the holiday celebration. Liu Guoliang sent holiday wishes to the athletes and coaches present. Liu Guoliang said that this year is the Olympic year and also the year of the Grand Slam. I hope everyone can achieve the best results.
Guoping thoughtfully prepared red envelopes for the players to celebrate the New Year, which requires their efforts to get them. Red envelopes are placed at different positions on the sideline and center line of the table. Players can only get the red envelopes by serving the ball. Xu Xin and her mixed doubles partner, Sun Yingsha, both got the red envelopes smoothly with their super hand, and everyone burst into cheers.
Guoping also engaged in a gender war. Yang Huijing played against the world's No. 1 Fan Zhendong, playing without timidity, and made Xiaopang unsteady by serving. The strength of the female national table tennis players is really good, and Xiaopang’s acting skills are good and fully cooperate, and it also makes the holiday atmosphere very happy. Chen Meng and Zhang An of the World United team also started the match, which drew cheers from the audience.
New Year’s Eve, dumplings are naturally inseparable. National Ping Pong team members also make their own hands, participate in dumpling making, and publish their masterpieces through social media. In the big united family of Guoping, even if you are not with your family, you can still feel the atmosphere of home. Ma Long said that this year's New Year is still spent in training camps, and the place where he is with the team is also home, and his dumplings are okay.
After the event, the national table tennis men’s and women’s teams also took photos separately. The men’s team was relatively neat, and the women’s team did not see Ding Ning, the Grand Slam. From the second half of 2020, Ding Ning was absent from national table tennis training and competitions. Look, Ding Ning's withdrawal from the Olympic competition is a high probability event, and perhaps he is considering planning for the next stage of transformation.
While the national table tennis is celebrating the holiday, there is also bad news. Due to the epidemic, the Ministry of Public Health of Qatar decided on February 11 to cancel all upcoming matches in Qatar from the 12th. The 2021 Men's Basketball Asian Cup qualifiers originally scheduled to start on February 17 will not be available. Affected by this, the Chinese men's basketball team will begin to make adjustments and wait for the next step.
In early March, the WTT Middle East event will also be held in Qatar. According to Qatar’s decision, these two games should also be affected and may be cancelled or changed venues. Guoping originally hoped to inspect Xu Xin, Sun Yingsha, Liu Shiwen and other key players through these two competitions in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics.
In this way, Guoping’s plan will be disrupted. Next, we can only wait for news from the organizers. Guoping will make a response plan as soon as possible to ensure that preparations for the Olympics are not affected.
Can the WTT Middle East event be held normally? How should national table tennis respond?
