This selection procedure is called "selection principle" by Huang Biao, the leader of China table tennis team, and it is divided into five parts. The first part is to determine the range of main athletes participating in the Olympic Games, that is, through the training and testing of Bremen in 2006, Zagreb in 2007, Guangzhou World Table Tennis Championships in 2008 and various competitions at home and abroad, combined with the usual training performance, to determine the selection range of main athletes of China table tennis team participating in the Olympic Games.
According to the selection procedure and the relevant regulations of ITTF, from May 1 2007 to April 30, 2008, we will send the above-mentioned main players and other members of the national team to participate in the international professional tour, strive for points and obtain the qualification to participate in the final of the world ranking tournament. Prior to this, ITTF had made a detailed timetable for the qualification of the Olympic Games. On June 5438+ 10 next year, ITTF will publish the new ranking table after the 2007 professional tour finals, from which 20 athletes will directly enter the Olympic Games. According to the latest ranking 1 1 released by ITTF in June, Wang Hao ranked first with 12832, second with 1268 1, and third with 3 points. Next year, 65438+1October 3 1, the Tripartite Committee will determine the initial allocation of "invitation places". The Asian qualifiers for the Olympic Games will be held in Hong Kong next March. At that time, among the three players determined by the China team to participate in the Olympic Games, the one with the lowest ranking will participate in the qualifiers. In the "selection process", the national team made it clear that "we strive to get the third place qualification through the pre-selection in Asia on the basis of getting two places in the world." On May 30th, 2008, ITTF confirmed the list of all qualified athletes, teams and athletes who can only participate in team competitions to individual federations/Olympic Committees.
Consistent with the criteria for selecting athletes in previous international competitions, six criteria have been clearly formulated in the Olympic selection procedure of the national team, namely: first, compare the achievements of major players in world competitions in the past year or two, including singles and doubles; Second, compare the performance of the main players to foreign athletes in the past year or two; Third, compare the competitive state of the main players before the deadline for Olympic registration; Fourth, compare the psychological quality and pressure resistance of the main players, fifth, compare the performance of the main players in the warm-up match before the Olympic Games; Sixth, according to the actual situation, determine whether to hold a team test.
According to these six standards, the final three contestants will go through strict examination and approval procedures, and the final list of contestants will be divided into four procedures. First, the team committee will put forward a preliminary list, and then solicit the opinions of some experts and leaders. The third step will be studied and discussed by the table tennis leading group for preparing for the Olympic Games, and finally reported to the State Sports General Administration for approval.
When talking about the Olympic selection process, Huang Biao said: "That's the big principle formulated by our team and center. Based on this principle, the coaching staff will never go beyond this principle and conduct a final and comprehensive evaluation under the framework of this principle. " The specific Olympic selection method will be finalized after the end of this national championship.
"In fact, our principle of grand selection has never changed, that is, fairness and merit-based admission, taking into account the athlete's Olympic points and his recent performance," Huang Biao said. "It's just that we may refine the method of determining the contestants after the national championship."
