After the China table tennis team finished the Olympic simulation, Liu was interviewed, and he was full of confidence in the future of the Olympic Games. He believes that it is not a bad thing for the home team to lose, but the significance of the mock match lies in finding problems in time, making up for the shortcomings, and indirectly supporting Xu Xin/Liu who missed the semi-final in mixed doubles. Liu even publicly stated that two Japanese leaders, Zhang Benzhi and Ito Mikei, invited the China table tennis team to participate in the through race to see which ranking they could finally win, and even considered holding an international through race after the Olympic Games, so that all major foreign rivals could come to China to participate.
The three champions of the Olympic mock competition finally belong to the mixed doubles (/Matt) men's singles () women's singles () week. In addition to the women's singles champion, mixed doubles and men's singles have big dark horse miracles, which are hotly debated by the outside world. At one time, I thought that there would be some changes in the national table tennis Olympic lineup, but in the case of pending singles qualifications, the mixed doubles event was determined first! Judging from Liu's interview, I first affirmed the value of losing the main force, and then expressed that the best combination of mixed doubles in the first Olympic gold medal was Liu/Xu Xin, which directly means "You can't change, and you are not qualified to change"!
Although Liu/Xu Xin missed the mixed doubles semi-final and the singles did not enter the semi-final, the mixed doubles score was the most stable in Tokyo cycle. 20 19 Hungarian World Table Tennis Championships mixed doubles champion and year-end finals champion became the most weighty titles. Except for Liu/Xu Xin, other table tennis players don't have a fixed game. When they get cold feet, they will face the situation that there is no game to play, and they will be even more uncertain when they arrive at the Olympic Games. In order to maintain stability, Xu Xin/Liu, who has rich competition experience, should sum up the gains and losses of the mock race in time and continue to strengthen training.
In the whole simulation match, except mixed doubles, Liu was satisfied with the performance of singles. He still believes that Guo Ping's overall strength is the strongest in the world, and even thinks that the main rivals Zhang Benzhi and Ito Meicheng have been challenging Guo Ping for many years, but the result of really participating in the Guo Ping through race may not be outstanding. Liu directly pointed the finger at Lin Shidong, a teenager who performed well this time. He said, "Is Zhang Benzhi playing with Lin Shidong?"
I believe that it is not a dream for players from foreign associations to participate in the through race. Liu plans to hold an international through train competition after the Olympic Games, and invites the world's top athletes to participate. This is also the genius of Liu. He devoted himself to promoting table tennis all over the world and actively created opportunities to strengthen exchanges and contacts. After the Challenge and the Grand Slam, Liu had to plan a through-train race with more intense competition and tighter schedule, which provided an opportunity for foreign players to learn from their teachers and also provided an opportunity for table tennis players to adapt and study their opponents.
