There has always been an unwritten tradition in table tennis: the performance of athletes in the individual world championships one year before the Olympic Games will affect the registration list of the next year's Olympic Games. It can be said that the default singles champion will go straight to the Olympic singles (except Liu that year).
From May 8, 2023 to May 7, 2024, the performance of players in international competitions will affect the Olympic singles points. Among them, the champion score of Durban World Championships is 4000, which is very, very high.
In other words, the Olympic Games and the World Table Tennis Championships are very important events, and the performance of the World Table Tennis Championships will affect the competition for the Olympic list. On the other hand, athletes' performance in the Olympic Games will affect the competition in the World Table Tennis Championships.
