China News Client Beijing, March 9th (Wang Hao) On the 8th, Beijing time, the ITTF Qatar Open ended all competitions and the Chinese team won 4 of the 5 gold medals. As the king of Chinese sports, Guoping is as good as ever, but they are "cute" not only because they have won so many gold medals.
On the last game day of the Qatar Open, Chen Meng lost four games in a row in the women's singles final, then reversed the victory over Japanese player Ito Mitsui 4: 1. And Fan Zhendong defeated England player Pitchford 4: 2 in a surprise and dominated the men's singles.
In the doubles match, Wang Manyu / Zhu Yuling defeated the Japanese combination Mihara / Nagasaki Miyu 1: 1 to win the women's doubles championship. Malone / Xu Xin won the men's doubles title by defeating England's Pitchford / Kinkor Hall 3-1. The only gold medal lost by Guoping was in the mixed doubles event. Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha lost to the Japanese combination Mizutani / Ito Misaka in the finals and finished second.

Guoping, who has long been accustomed to victory, has encountered some challenges in this game, but the final result is quite satisfactory. In addition to the gold medal, they also brought many precious things to everyone.
Before the start of the Qatar Open, Malone summoned his team members. In the end, everyone agreed to donate all the prize money won by Qatar to the frontline of the epidemic in Wuhan.
The total prize money in Qatar this year has reached $ 400,000, which is currently the highest prize in the ITTF Pro Tour. And despite withdrawing from the game due to injury, Liu Shiwen still offered to donate an equal amount of money for the singles championship.

Chen Meng said in an interview after winning the championship: "(Myself) completed the task well and impacted the success of the championship. I am more happy to donate the prize money, which is also the gold task assigned by the chairman before the game."
Covered by the epidemic, this team delivered exciting content with its own performance on and off the field. What happened in late winter and early spring may be forever imprinted in the memory of some people. But if you see Guoping, then this memory will not be all gray.
There have been many kings in Chinese sports, and not many of them can maintain their dominance for a long time. In recent years, the rise of the Japanese table tennis team has put a lot of pressure on the National Table Tennis Team. Although the Qatar Open results were good, there are still many things to be summarized. Being the "first" is never a trivial matter.

Many members of Guoping are scarred. The sweat and tears behind it can be imagined. How can professional athletes not suffer? But if you want to maintain a high level, you must practice harder than others.
January 24 is the thirtieth year of the lunar calendar. On this day, Malone took a photo of the team on Weibo. He said that this is the last training session of this year. "The regrets and glory of the past year will become history." In the photos, players have smiles on their faces. On this day, there are too many laughter, but this smile is especially special.

Even though there have been troughs, most people are inexplicably assured of Guoping. This "reassurance" stems from both the heavy and glorious history and the stable performance of this team. Unlike the national football team and the men's basketball team, people hang their hearts to the last moment, and then rejoice over the victory and defeat of the game. The national table tennis team wins the victory, usually in the phrase "sure enough". It sounds like the comparison between the two is not fair enough, but if you taste it carefully, the word "sure enough" is the highest praise to a team.
A few days ago, the International Olympic Committee announced that it allowed delegations from various countries to send one male and one female athletes as flag bearers at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Netizens had previously discussed that Zhu Ting, the female lineup leader, and Ma Long, the male table tennis team leader, had high voices.
Of course, table tennis is called "national football", but its professionalism and market size are far worse than some popular items. As a small ball project, it is regarded as a "flag" in the national sports field, because the calm national group, Zhuang Zedong, Zhang Yilin to Deng Yaping, Liu Guoliang, Zhang Yining ... Love of society.

In this generation of players, everyone is called Xu Xin "Big Python", Liu Shiwen "Little Jujube", Fan Zhendong "Little Fat", and Malone "Dragon Team". At the award ceremony of the Qatar Open, Liu Guoliang pinched his face when Fan Zhendong presented the prize. Many people on the Internet called me to pinch.
Compared to many other events, the players of Guoping are interesting, sturdy and capable. Like us ordinary people, they have moods, sorrows and sorrows, they have peaks and lows, and they are also gagging like ordinary young people.
Naturally, they have also had the vigor of young people. Zhang Jike, who kicked the baffle, and Wang Chuqin, who was throwing a racket, were immediately punished. Chen Zhe's "transformation" of raising pigs in the countryside was broadcast to the people on TV. A sports team, while maintaining high-light performance, can make prohibitions and orders, showing their principles and mental outlook.

We will finally say goodbye to the cold and the cold, say goodbye to the epidemic, and then continue to look forward to Guoping, which will usher in a beautiful and successful summer in Tokyo.
