Liu and Zhu Yuling, why did you let two sick people take part in the table tennis World Cup?

After the news that ITTF restarted the World Table Tennis Championships in June 5438+065438+ 10 spread, the list of men's and women's World Cups was directly announced the next day. Apart from such familiar old rivals as Zhang Benzhi and Ito Meicheng, table tennis was won by Fan Zhendong, Liu and Zhu Yuling among the four precious places? Honor? . But after this list came out, many fans didn't understand why it was Malone, especially Liu and Zhu Yuling of women's table tennis. They have already missed the Olympic simulation in August due to physical reasons, and now they are just allowed to play the World Cup, so some fans are puzzled? Why let two patients compete? .

In fact, the person behind this incident really has little to do with the coaching staff of the National Table Tennis Association, and even Liu, the chairman of the Table Tennis Association, is very helpless. Because this World Cup is an invitational tournament, only 40 players from all over the world, 20 males and 20 females, were invited, and only two males and two females were assigned to various associations. The rules for allocating places are decided by ITTF. Their selection methods are somewhat similar? Hereditary system

This so-called? Hereditary system is to look at two aspects when considering the qualifications of players. What's the first one? Ranked first in the World Championships? What's the second one? Ranked second in the World Cup? . Take men's table tennis as an example. Why Malone and Fan Zhendong and not Xu Xin? Because Malone is the champion of 19 World Championships, and Fan Zhendong has won three World Cups. Playing the World Cup this time is four challenges. The same is true for Liu. Xiaozao went to the World Cup this time, and that was the shock? Six crowns? Record!

Knowing this competition system, we can understand why four players, including Malone, went to Guo Ping to participate in the competition. As for Liu's two players and Zhu Yuling, what did the fans say? Patient? It makes sense to go to the World Cup. After all, Liu said that he has not played for nearly a year. After retiring from Qatar, although she also trained with table tennis, she trained herself to recover. She has just had elbow surgery recently, and whether she can go to the World Cup depends on her recovery.

Is it possible that all this will happen? Liu still can't take part in the competition due to physical reasons. Can Guo Ping consider sending another player? Substitute? And then what? As it turns out, it is not that we are alarmist. As expected, Liu withdrew from the Women's Table Tennis World Cup again, and it is impossible to make a comeback this year. In desperation, Liu Meng occupied this place.

In fact, if our coach can consider more when choosing players, how can such an embarrassing situation occur?
