A table tennis World Cup team match that also served as a test tournament for the Tokyo Olympics next year. China will advance to the final for both men and women, with boys taking 8 consecutive victories and women taking 9 consecutive victories. What is the secret of overwhelming strength that continues to reign over the world champions? A Chinese media table tennis reporter who came to the tournament revealed a part of it.
China National Training Camp
He is a reporter who has been reporting on table tennis in China's Internet media “Chinese Physical Education” for 10 years.

“In the training camp held for about a month before important competitions such as the Olympics and the World Cup, the players' mobile phones are confiscated first. The schedule wakes up at 6am or 7am and runs. Practice in the morning and practice again after lunch, after lunch break, and after dinner, watch the game of yourself and the overseas players together, research and take measures, and bedtime is around 11pm It may be.

Another secret key to strength is. That is the existence of an “advisory group” that supports Chinese players.
According to a reporter, Chinese players value the combination of technology and strategy in order to hone their ability to adapt to the occasion.
The coaches who have won the international competition will teach you how to combine them.

“We are very strong as a group. Not only our own coach but also other coaches from the national team. We are also stimulating among the players. I think China can inherit strength by having an environment that helps us. "
