In this Bulgarian Open, China sent 6 male players and 12 female players. It can be said that the China team basically sent second-tier players, while the first-tier players Malone, Ding Ning and Fan Zhendong didn't go. China's second-tier players still won two gold medals and four silver medals in this open competition.
These two gold medals are women's singles and women's doubles respectively, which also shows that China table tennis is superior to men in women's strength.
The China women's team performed well in this open competition, especially in women's singles and women's doubles.
Men, on the other hand, are not satisfactory, especially in China. In the men's singles final, Zhao Zihao lost to Japanese team's Zhang Benzhihe 2:4, which surprised us. It's a little surprising that our country didn't win the gold medal, but the rise of Zhang Benzhihe also sounded the alarm for China men's table tennis.
Although China didn't send first-team players in this Bulgarian Open, only second-team players were sent. In this competition, we also saw that the table tennis strength of other countries in the world began to gradually narrow the gap with the China team. It can be said that if China table tennis team doesn't pay attention to every open competition, it is believed that more and more gold medals will fall to other countries.
I also hope that the China Men's Team will become stronger and stronger in the future. For Japanese team's Zhang Benzhihe, we can beat him in an appropriate way, and don't let Zhang Benzhihe become an obstacle to China's future competition.
Take this Bulgaria competition as a reference point to find the right direction for future competitions. Come on! China!
