As we all know, under the WTT framework, the Grand Slam event is the highest level, and the 2000-point event is the same as the Olympic Games and the World Table Tennis Championships. Because there are four Grand Slam events every year, the individual events of the World Table Tennis Championships are held every two years, and the Olympic Games are held every four years. Therefore, from the point of view of points and bonuses, WTT Grand Slam events are more influential than the Olympic Games and the World Table Tennis Championships, which can be described as the top of the pyramid.
