北京時間4月8日,WTT常規挑戰賽太原站將點燃戰火,這將是澳門單項世界盃前最好的一場實戰練兵。在國際乒聯最新公佈的太原站參賽名單中,女單資格賽名單最後一個入圍的球員叫李潔。這正是41歲的前成都籍削球手、荷蘭國手李潔。如果李潔複出再戰一屆奧運,2028年洛杉磯奧運會,將歷史性地有望出現張本智和、張本美和、肖瑤茜、李潔四位前四川籍球員打奧運。可惜前女單世界第一朱雨玲,受海外兵團限制令限制,不能再參加世界大賽。
The first Olympic gold medal in the history of national table tennis was the men's doubles gold medal won by Sichuan stars Chen Longcan and Wei Qingguang at the Seoul Olympics in 1988. But from 0 years to the present, there has never been a second Sichuan player who has been fortunate enough to set foot on the Olympic stage, Qiu Yike and Zhu Yuling used to be very close to the Olympic lineup of Sichuan generals, especially Zhu Yuling, who has reached the first place in the women's singles world but still regrettably withdrew from the competition for the national table tennis Olympic list of the Tokyo Olympics early.
李潔今年41歲,是新都人,陳龍燦的小老鄉。李潔2001年16歲的時候去荷蘭打球,出國之前她只在成都市乒校訓練過,嚴格意義上說省隊都沒入選過,更別說國家隊了。李潔在職業生涯巔峰期,先後代表荷蘭隊參加過2008、2012、2016年三屆奧運會。
據成都當地媒體報導,李潔很早就嫁到了都江堰,她雖然是荷蘭國家隊的球員,但常住地基本上是成都,而且這幾年都有參加國內聯賽的記錄。去年4月李潔就代表成都香投隊參加過國內的甲C聯賽。上月底的WTT球星賽金奈站日本的削球手橋本帆乃香就曾爆冷擊敗早田希娜等名將一路殺進決賽最終拿到女單亞軍。李潔是削球打法的球員,她如複出打國際比賽的話,一是有一定的競爭力,二是她代表荷蘭出戰奧運會的資格是現成的,稍微努努力就能拿到門票。
Looking through the ITTF's qualification criteria for the WTT Regular Challenger, the first step is to determine the qualification based on the player's world ranking. But players like Li Jie, who have not participated in international competitions for a long time, no longer have a world ranking, and the ITTF still has a way to participate, that is, recommended by the association. Therefore, Li Jie's desire to play in Taiyuan is likely to be instructed by the Dutch Table Tennis Association, which has certain Olympic strategic significance.
In addition, the 2-year-old Spanish star Xiao Yaoqian is also a descendant of Sichuan table tennis. Xiao Yaoqian's parents are both former Sichuan team players, and her father Xiao Daili won the national championship team championship with Olympic champion Chen Longcan, Zhang Benzhihe's father Zhang Benyu. Xiao Yaoqian is ranked No. 0 in the world in women's singles, she came to Spain with her parents at the age of 0, and she is completely unaffected by the restrictions of overseas legions, and she has already represented Spain in the Paris Olympics last year.
Tomokazu Zhangmoto, Tomokazu Zhang, Benmei and their siblings were Chinese nationals before they decided to change their nationality and naturalize in Japan, to be precise, because their parents were both from Sichuan, and these two children should have been counted as Sichuan nationals before. Now the two are the first brother and one sister in the Japanese table tennis world, and they are responsible for competing for Olympic medals for the Japanese team at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
Although Zhu Yuling is now playing on behalf of the Macau team of China, she is restricted by the restriction order of the overseas corps, and after the age of 21, she cannot participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, the World Cup, the Olympic Games and other top events in the world, and can only participate in commercial events within the scope of WTT.
