In fact, Ding Ning retired not once or twice, and the number of times he participated in the Olympic Games was also at the bottom. Is it because Guo Ping thinks he is not good enough to play for Guo Ping? After all, at that time, the women's team could only send two players to participate. In order to come up with the strongest lineup, the original personnel were temporarily replaced. We don't know what the situation is. At that time, Liu had actually won four world championships. At that time, Liu had not won a grand slam record. Is it her honor to win a grand slam? There are all kinds of speculations.
Why did you give this opportunity to Liu at the expense of Ding Ning? The main reason is that only after winning the women's singles title from Ding Ning, no female player can win the title. At that time, Li had retired, so women's table tennis had become a monopoly, and no player could replace Li. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Guo Ping needs new players to take the lead. I don't think we're just afraid of dominance. If Ding Ning is injured or unable to participate in the competition for other reasons, there will be no strong player to replace Ding Ning in table tennis, and then table tennis will be paralyzed. There is no way to do this, so sometimes someone will be chosen to make some sacrifices, which is also for the whole table tennis.
On the whole. I think it's normal to keep balance. Just think, if there is only one Ding Ning, if she is defeated, it is a complete failure. The so-called table tennis as a whole is also to avoid such a situation. Table tennis must train new players to avoid such a thing. Weighing the pros and cons is the way to development. Of course, this will harm the interests of some people, but there is no way. Only by looking at the problem comprehensively can we see it accurately.
