Will Ma Long can return to table tennis tournament ?
If Ma Long is trying to recover from injury why are they making him play in the Marvelous 12 to qualify for the WTTC? Makes no sense to risk further injury. LGL/CNT should just select him for the WTTC because, well, he is Ma Long.In Ma long family thread, it is posted that ML is looking forward for marvelous 12 event in Feb end. So hopefully he will be back by then.
He's 30, injured, married, a dad. There's a whole bunch of faster, fitter kids coming up who have no responsibility other than to practice TT all day and aren't afraid of injury or over-working. No responsibility to anything but TT, but also none of the priority and life changing love that comes when you have a kid.
Sure, he was the best of all time, but I don't think he's coming back. Not really. But I'd be very happily surprised if he comes back for another year or two on the up and up.
I just don't think that's how the chinese national team system operates. It's not like Europe where ur a free agent and can do what you like, playing at 37, winning some and losing most etc.
I think they have rules though about selection.

To be honest I don,t think Ma Long , Xu Xin , will play Olympics. That is why now China put so many new young players out
I think it depends on their 2020 form but yeah, the Chinese youngsters are getting better than them
You do remember that Ma Long was undefeated in Super League before he got injured and withdrew?
