It's really quite sad, but I would also add one more factor. Mixed Doubles saved her from the brink of being ousted from Tokyo (with massive help from Ito knocking out ZYL and DN), but it also became the very hangman noose that sealed her Singles fate. Even without injury, playing three events...

CTTA has ratified the line-up that was revealed prematurely by WTT. Mixed Doubles: XU Xin/LIU Shiwen Women's Singles: CHEN Meng, SUN Yingsha Men's Singles: MA Long, FAN Zhendong Women's Team: CHEN Meng, SUN Yingsha, LIU Shiwen / WANG Manyu (Reserve) Men's Team: MA Long, FAN Zhendong, XU Xin /...

Either someone in ITTF/WTT gonna get fired for premature leak or the list has changed. This article has been deleted. Poor LSW. Might as well have retired. Three learning points for the next batch of women vying for Paris 2024: 1) World Championships Singles title doesn't mean much anymore so...

Rumour has it that CNT will indeed announce their line-up tomorrow. The source, who goes by the name Ke Ruizi (not sure who is he though but he has appeared in a couple of domestic matches so maybe he has credibility), pointed out three matters. First, he outrightly named Wang Chuqin and Wang...

Second Trials to be held in Nanyang, Henan announced. 26th May to 30th May. Could potentially have more categories than just MS, WS and XD. List of participating core players remain unchanged (ML, LSW, XX, CM, FZD, SYS...).

Thanks for alerting to the full CCTV interview. Aside from the aforementioned by zeio, other key points of relevance to note: - There are considerable risks that comes with holding only one trial to determine player selection for major events. For example, some teammate killers (內戰王) may end up...

Not sure if this is a standard practice since I didn't watch TT before 2018, but the CTTA has published their selection guidelines for the Tokyo Olympics. I will attempt to translate the crucial parts, and hopefully someone else will help to pick out any errors. Core players who have obtained...

CNT trials for WTT China and WTTC (which will double up as the second 'Mock Olympics') to be held from 3rd to 7th May. No details about format for now. Regarding selection, there are many unofficial signals (e.g. CCTV promo for Olympics and publicity materials like the one below) of late...

No, this was just the first stage (qualifications). The main event will take place later this year (September) in Shaanxi.

Li Sun shared that Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu demonstrated keen desire to participate in the upcoming Olympics (unofficial official statement about China's Tokyo lineup?). Liu Shiwen's recovery in particular, based on her performances in the National Games and closed-door...

Did you see her against Li Yake and Guo Yuhan yesterday, especially during the second and third games. Her FH seems to have become more powerful.

The reason LSW and SYS participated is to secure a XD slot for their respective provincial teams. Should LSW or SYS team up with XX (depending on who are the Olympics representatives) later in the year for National Games, their current partners Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun can choose someone...

Yes and no I suppose. He didn't form a XD pair with any of his Shanghainese teammates but there is a rule stipulating that the Olympics XD pair (which XX is 100% confirmed?) can proceed directly to the main event. Pairs which qualified for the MD Main Event (to be held later in the year) are...

Pairs which qualified for the XD Main Event (to be held later in the year) are: 1) Lin Gaoyuan/Liu Shiwen 2) Liang Jingkun/Sun Yingsha 3) Zhu Linfeng/Zhu Yuling 4) Zhao Zihao/Chen Yi 5) Zhu Yi/Zhao Ge 6) Cao Wei/Wang Manyu 7) Xue Fei/Zhang Rui 8) Xu Chenhao/Li Yake 9) Zhou Kai/He Zhuojia 10)...

WMY: Am I a joke to you? OTOH, 'good' news for Mizutanito? Lee/Jeon still has yet to qualify for Olympics LOL
