The 26th Asian Table Tennis Championships in 2023 will be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea from September 3rd to 10, with a total of 7 events. Due to the tight schedule of the 20021National Games and the World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese national table tennis team failed to participate.
According to the internal assessment of the national team, the singles champion of the Asian Championship in 2023 will get 2000 Olympic points, and the performance of the event will directly affect the promotion places of the Asian Cup and the World Cup, and indirectly affect the qualification competition for the Paris Olympic Games.
The Chinese Table Tennis Association announced the selection points system for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, and the main players of the national team will have corresponding points to increase when they participate in international competitions. Among them, the top three men's and women's singles in the Asian Championships scored 2000 points, 1000 points and 500 points respectively, 800 points in the team knockout final, 400 points in the semi-final, 200 points in the14 final and 100 points in the final.
Event analysis:
After the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha were the top scorers in the Olympic Games. Their performance is consistent with the singles of the World Table Tennis Championships, and they are also expected to participate in three events of the Paris Olympic Games. At the World Table Tennis Championships held in Houston, Wang, He and Wang both won three medals, so their possibilities greatly increased.
Women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles ranked first, while Wang Zaimen's doubles and mixed doubles were also among the best. The men's singles will surpass Fan Zhendong and take the first place on July 4th. But the main players, such as Wang Yidi, Liang Jingkun and Lin, must go all out in every game and never give up until the last moment.
