Is the bag still in decline? The day before yesterday, the national table tennis player: the national table tennis lost its absolute dominance! Zhang Ben can be ashamed after 4 years

Although it continues to win gold medals in this Olympic Games, the dominance of national table tennis seems to be showing signs of "loosening". On August 10, Beijing time, former Japan men's table tennis player Kishikawa Sei also bluntly said in an interview with Japan media that the Chinese table tennis team now has no absolute advantage. Four years later, at the Los Angeles Olympics, Tomokazu Haramoto and other Japan athletes had every chance.

In the table tennis event of the Paris Olympics, the Chinese team successfully won the men's team and men's singles gold medals, but former Japan national player Kishikawa Seiya believes that even if the Chinese team can still win the championship in this Olympic Games, the gap with other national teams has narrowed, and the Chinese table tennis team no longer has an absolute advantage.

The former Japan star said bluntly that the strength of the Chinese table tennis team was once unrivaled in the world, but the strength of European countries such as Sweden and France in this Olympic Games, as well as Asian countries such as Japan, seems to have become quite close, as evidenced by the failure of national table tennis to win the men's singles championship and runner-up. It can be said that the Chinese team does not seem to have the absolute dominance as before.

Kishikawa is also confident that Japan currently has a lot of outstanding young people and is in an era of rapid replacement, and he hopes that Japan table tennis players such as Tomokazu Zhang can compete with each other, improve their strength, and make up for the embarrassment of zero medals in this Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

Although Kishikawa Seiya is a little confident in his words, he has to admit that with Ma Long fading out and Fan Zhendong also having the possibility of honorable retirement after the Olympics, if the national table tennis relies on a Wang Chuqin who is not stable enough in the Olympic Games in the future, it will indeed be difficult to continue to suppress young foreign players such as Lebrun Jr., Moregard, and Tomokazu Zhangmoto. The Chinese table tennis team, indeed after flowers and applause, still has a clear enough understanding of the grim situation in the future.
