【巴黎奧運專題】內訌？飯圈？內定讓球？陳夢事件牽出24年前一段往事！

Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of Talk Olympics with Zhaoyang. Today we are going to talk about a Chinese team's signature game, table tennis. In China, there are two big teams, one is diving and the other is table tennis. No matter if it's a male or female team, no matter if the opponent is a Korean or a Japanese, or a German or a Swedish, the champion is still a Chinese. This is why there are so many nicknames for Chinese table tennis players. Our guest today is a Chinese female table tennis player, Chen Meng, who took a rollercoaster ride on the road to her dream, slid from the peak to the bottom, and then stood on the top of the world again. In 2024, the women's singles final of the Paris Olympics, 30-year-old Chen Meng won against Sun Yingsha, who is currently the world's number one. This is how she won the gold medal in the women's singles Olympics. And this victory is also very meaningful to Chen Meng, because this is the second time she has won against her opponent in the past three years. One time, she locked herself in the qualification to participate in the Paris Olympics, and the other time, she won the gold medal in the Paris Olympics. Originally, this was a great thing to celebrate, but the atmosphere at the scene was a bit unusual. Not only did the audience cheer for Sun Yingsha, even the coaches who watched the game in the venue had no expression on their faces. It seemed that there was a sense of resentment. Did the coaches think that Sun Yingsha's performance was not ideal enough and regretted losing the gold medal for her, or was there something else? As for cheering for Sun Yingsha while falling on the field, I saw a lot of mainland media, whether it's Pengpai News or Xinjing News, all attribute this reason to an extreme cultural performance. It means that Sun Yingsha has many fans, which makes the scene so embarrassing. It is said that there is only one old couple who has been holding the brand of Chen Meng since the beginning. And the overseas media that has long known the mainland media's routine are not buying it. Because they think this is unusual and necessary. Not to mention that an important clue has been discovered. That is, the well-known Naiki Iri of the mainland made a big-screen ad in Sanlitun, Beijing before the final. How did Iri know in advance? First of all, the women's final hasn't started yet, and the men's final is behind the women's final. Did Iri cross the finish line? And some netizens found that there was a female audience at the scene who pointed at Chen Meng. And then he was recognized. He is actually the PR manager of Iri, Tang Mengmeng. The emotional one is the leader of the cheerleading team sent by Iri. Is it really that simple? If Iri is leading the trend of fan circle culture in this move, why is the coaching team not happy? Isn't Chen Meng also their member? Does the coaching team want Sun Yingsha to win? Isn't it all meat in the palm of the hand? But if we put Iri, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, and the coaching team's own performance together, that's another scene. First of all, let's do some basic brainstorming. Since the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Iri has been the pioneer in Olympic marketing. And since then, the Olympics held every four years can't be without Iri's shadow. Of course, Iri also has a time when it's too late to play. For example, in the 2016 Rio Olympics, swimmer Ning Zetao played inhumanly. And the other Chinese men's basketball player Guo Ailun, he didn't make it to the men's basketball team. This is a big defeat for Iri. And now Iri chooses, for example, let's just say a vulgar word. Then these people are all famous. And as the main strategist of the Chinese table tennis team, if you choose according to this routine, then Iri chose three people. Sun Yingsha, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin. And Liu Guoliang's performance also has two possibilities. The first one is confused by the situation at the scene. The second one is hate. Let's talk about the first one first. We mentioned it at the beginning of the film. Before the final, Chen Meng has only beaten Sun Yingsha once in three years. Besides, Sun Yingsha is the most powerful player in the women's team. Chen Meng wants to beat him. There is almost no hope. But in the end, there was a big bug. It is inevitable that the golden father Iri will be very upset. Because what Iri wants is Sun Yingsha. The money is also on Sun Yingsha. And the second possibility is that before the table tennis team set off to Paris, they knew that this gold medal must be in the bag. It's just a matter of who's going to get it. In addition, after Paris, it will enter the preparation cycle of Los Angeles in 2028. Indeed, from the strength of Sun Yingsha and his age, etc. If you think about it, Liu Guoliang really wants to make him the current female team's first sister. So according to tradition, Sun Yingsha has long been determined to win Paris this time. And as a deeply bound sponsor, Iri should have been passed on long ago. So Iri will make these advertisements in advance. Just wait for the moment when Sun Yingsha stands on the podium of Paris and kisses the gold medal. But Chen Meng doesn't think so. As a 30-year-old veteran, he sticks to today to give himself an explanation. And Zhao Yang thinks there are two possibilities. The second one, I'm more inclined. That's what I heard. Why? Because the Chinese table tennis must first be under the leadership of the Chinese National Sports Bureau. Then the provincial level officials have to look at the National Games. And the national team has to look at the Olympics. These are all specific task requirements. The so-called national system is the gold medal theory. So who is most confident in keeping this gold medal? In the table tennis team, of course, it's Sun Yingsha. So from a commercial point of view, who can bring the biggest profit to the table tennis team? Of course, it's Sun Yingsha. That's why there's an internal decision. And no matter who it is, we have to give way to Sun Yingsha's victory. So in terms of nature, this final is a manipulated fake world. It's just that Chen Meng, one of the protagonists, didn't act according to the director's requirements. Of course, I've seen a lot of comments on the Internet Of course, He Zhili went to Japan because there was no concession. In fact, I think there's one more thing that's more representative than the concession. It was 24 years ago, the Women's Table Tennis Women's Semi-finals of the 2000 New Olympics. Ye Zhaoying was forced to concede to Gong Zhichao. According to what was said at the time, Li Yongbo, the head coach of the women's team, was also trying to keep the gold medal. And on the Internet, Li Yongbo introduced himself at the time. He personally appeared to let Ye Zhaoying concede the ball. Of course, we know that. Let Ye Zhaoying, more than 20 years later, is still in his arms. In addition, Liu Guoliang retired from 2002 and became a coach. In 2003, he became the head coach of the Chinese men's team. It should be said that he has been immersed in Chinese table tennis for 20 years. During this period, he also trained many world champions, including many players who have now switched to coaching. So Liu Guoliang is in the current table tennis team. It should be like his master Cai Chenghua. The root of the problem is deep. And he actually has more experience. He has also left the table tennis team. From business to politics. After the 2016 Olympics table tennis team in the example just now was in a mess, Li Yongbo gradually withdrew from his role as the head coach of the Chinese table tennis team. And this time the female commentator's secret call has also attracted the attention of many Western media. So will this cause Liu Guoliang's fate to change? Let's wait and see. But this reminds me of the words of the mainland media person, Liang Gongda, when he was talking about Li Yongbo. It's not necessarily a good thing to stay in one place for too long. Because absolute power will bring absolute corruption.
