On May 20, the Chinese national table tennis team ushered in its third defeat!

Lin Gaoyuan, who has always been highly anticipated, was out of the men's singles match and stopped in the top 32.

This is the second defeat in the men's singles competition of the national table tennis team after Xue Fei's first round of the game.

The Chinese team was in danger for men's singles, and the damage to Wang Chuqin's racket on May 19 made fans even more heartbroken.

After the relevant video was exposed, the referee's action made many fans say it was disgusting; even the national table tennis member Cheng Jingqi couldn't help but shout in the show: "The first one should be investigated!"

Support the players

"We must thoroughly investigate this damaged racket!"

After the World Table Tennis Championships on May 19, Wang Liqin, chairman of the Table Tennis Association, came to attend the damaged racket meeting without stopping.

Looking at the head of the ITTF related project sitting in front of him, Wang Liqin filed an appeal on behalf of the Chinese Table Tennis Association.

He told the relevant story seriously and asked the ITTF to investigate the cause of the incident.

As the former main force of the national table tennis team, Wang Liqin is very clear about what the racket means to the players; the damage to the racket will inevitably have a greater impact on the players' mentality, and Wang Chuqin is no exception.

After the mixed doubles competition, he expressed his disappointment with the organizer.

When Wang Chuqin communicated with his teammates afterwards, he was even sad and half-joking and said that he had to prepare 5 boards in the future.

And this is not the first time that Wang Chuqin has encountered a damaged racket.

During the Paris Olympics, his racket was greatly damaged, which also had a significant impact on his mentality.

Two such incidents happened in less than a year, and Wang Liqin also felt sorry for Wang Chuqin's experience. In this meeting, Wang Liqin made three clear demands to the ITTF: After some discussion, the two sides finally reached a corresponding agreement.

The International Table Tennis Federation agreed that each team can send a staff member to the inspection.

On May 20, the ITTF also issued a statement saying that it would thoroughly investigate the matter and issue a corresponding written report at that time.

Wang Liqin's behavior of supporting Wang Chuqin has won a lot of praise.

But just as everyone was looking forward to the truth, the behavior of the referee of the competition caused huge controversy.

The referee's behavior has aroused suspicion

Still remember the scene when Wang Chuqin found that the racket was damaged and asked to change the deck?

At that time, Wang Chuqin immediately reported to the referee about the damage to the racket;

, but the referee said that there was no problem with the racket and kept urging both sides to start the game immediately.

Then coach Xiao Zhan took the initiative and told the referee that the racket was opened and the rubber was not used normally;

The initial referee insisted on his own opinion and shouted that no one had touched the racket.

But under the argument between Wang Chuqin and Xiao Zhan, he finally agreed to the scene of Wang Chuqin replacing the deputy filming.

The Chinese reporters sitting in the audience at that time all clearly felt that something was abnormal about the racket.

As a battle-hardened referee, why do you say there is no problem with the racket?

This question lingers in the hearts of many fans, and was not completely detonated until the video of the waiting area was exposed. On the afternoon of May 20, Migu Sports showed off the scene of the waiting area before the game on a short video platform.

According to relevant requirements, the contestant needs to send the racket to the test before the game; after

, the racket leaves the contestant's sight and cannot be obtained again until the game starts.

During this period, the referee was the custodian of the racket.

According to the video, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha's rackets were handed to the referee, and they were all fine;

After the bald referee took them for testing, he finally handed them to the referee, and there seemed to be no problem in the whole process.

But what people unexpectedly expected was that after the referee got the four-person racket, his behavior was a little confused.

He directly folded the rackets of the four people in the game and pressed them twice;

Even when the first pressed, the racket made a crisp sound.

Regionally speaking, when the bald referee takes the racket back, it means that the test is completed; the

The referee's pressing behavior does not look like a normal detection process no matter how it looks.

Moreover, most of the rackets of professional athletes have been finely adjusted by rubber tension and sponge hardness; improper pressing may have a great impact on the racket, which in turn affects the quality of the hitting.

It can also be clearly seen from the exposure that before pressing the racket, he put his hand into the paper bag for more than ten seconds.

After connecting these actions, many fans left messages to the ITTF, hoping that they could investigate the referee;

and figure out the reason why the referee pressed the player's racket twice..

And the fans' suspicion coincides with the idea of ​​the national table tennis player Cheng Jingqi...

Professionals also questioned

"The referee should be investigated, and the ITTF should also apologize to Wang Chuqin!" On May 20, Cheng Jingqi stood up for the damage to Wang Chuqin's racket on the show.

He is not only Wang Chuqin's friend, but also an athlete fighting in the table tennis court.

He bluntly stated in the show that the referee's behavior was somewhat abnormal and should be the focus of the investigation.

Cheng Jingqi believes that the referee's level is already very high. He should have enforced many advanced competitions and should have a general understanding of the situation of table tennis competitions.

However, when faced with such obvious damage to Wang Chuqin's racket, the referee said that there was no problem with Wang Chuqin's racket.

The referee after that also urged both sides to play immediately, and such behavior made Cheng Jingqi look less and less right.

Then Cheng Jingqi also said that the ITTF should make a formal apology to Wang Chuqin.

After all, Wang Chuqin has experienced such things twice in this year.

Another table tennis player in the show, Hou Yingchao, also said that handing the racket to the referee is a kind of trust.

The racket was fine before the test, but after the test, it was damaged. Who can bear it?

He sincerely proposed in the show that the athletes can do the racket test themselves. The speeches of these professionals have also resonated with many netizens.

Athletes' rackets are just for the food, especially the main shots, which is the athlete's most advantageous weapon;

is damaged before the game, and it really needs a reasonable explanation.

Fortunately, Wang Chuqin's mentality has improved greatly after being tempered by the Paris Olympics.

When he interviewed after the men's singles game on May 20, his whole body looked very good.

He said that the racket damage incident really made him feel awkward and hoped that the ITTF could provide an effective way to deal with it.

Perhaps because he didn't want the fans to worry so much, Wang Chuqin said that his mentality has not changed much;

The ball board has not been completely scrapped, and he can continue to use it after remediation.

Conclusion

From this experience of damage to the racket, we can see that Wang Chuqin's growth is not a little bit.

I hope he can continue to stabilize his mentality in the future and strive for the men's singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships.

also hopes that the ITTF can investigate as soon as possible and give an explanation to Wang Chuqin and the majority of fans.
