recently, the international table tennis federation announced the latest world rankings for each event, which attracted the attention of netizens. specifically, the chinese team topped the list in all five events. wang chuqin and fan zhendong ranked first and second in men's singles, sun yingsha, chen meng and wang manyu took the top three in women's singles, ma long and wang chuqin ranked first in men's doubles, wang manyu and chen meng ranked first in women's doubles, and wang chuqin and sun yingsha still ranked first in mixed doubles. many netizens pointed out that although the chinese table tennis team took all the first places, there were few young players emerging. on the contrary, several young players of the japanese team should not be underestimated and will be the main threat to the chinese team in the los angeles olympic cycle.

at the paris olympics, the chinese table tennis team won the men's singles, women's singles, mixed doubles, men's team and women's team gold medals, becoming the only team in the world table tennis world to have won all five olympic gold medals. in terms of individual performance, the shock and challenge faced by the men's team is obviously greater than that of the women's team. in the men's singles, wang chuqin, who played as the top seed, was unexpectedly eliminated in the top 32, setting the worst record for men's singles players in the past five olympic games.

fan zhendong, who was alone in the half zone, was forced into a desperate situation by japan's zhang benzhihe in the quarter-finals. with his stable psychological quality and more sophisticated skills, fan zhendong finally won 4-3, helping the chinese men's table tennis team "escape from death". in the subsequent semi-finals and finals, the morale-boosted fan zhendong defeated lebrun and moregaard in succession, helping the chinese team defend the men's singles gold medal. many fans pointed out that except for the champion fan zhendong, the runner-up and third place were all from europe, which indirectly reflects that european men's table tennis is rising rapidly and may continue to cause trouble for the chinese team.

entering a new olympic cycle, world table tennis powerhouses including china, japan, and sweden have begun preparations for the 2028 los angeles olympics. judging from the latest ittf world rankings, china's main competitors are still japan, south korea, sweden, and france. the world no. 1 in men's singles is wang chuqin, followed by fan zhendong, liang jingkun ranked 4th, and veteran ma long ranked 6th.

some netizens said that fan zhendong and wang chuqin will be the absolute main force of the national table tennis men's team in the los angeles olympic cycle, but the premise is that fan zhendong chooses to continue to persist. once he fades out, whether wang chuqin can withstand the impact of zhang benzhihe, lebrun and moregaard needs to be questioned. in the women's singles, sun yingsha, chen meng, wang manyu and wang yidi took the top four. in the los angeles olympic cycle, wang manyu and sun yingsha are still in their prime years, and the biggest threat to the two may be the japanese rising star zhang benmihe. in the doubles event, kuaiman and lin shidong will be the focus of the mixed doubles coaching team. whether wang chuqin and fan zhendong, wang manyu and sun yingsha will continue to cooperate in men's doubles and women's doubles will also be a topic faced by the coaching team.
