On the 3rd (local time), the women’s singles final round of table tennis at the 33rd Paris Olympics between Sun Ying-sha and Chen Meng was held at South Paris Arena 4, located in Paris, France.
The match, which drew attention as a showdown between Chinese players, succeeded in winning the women’s singles gold medal for the second consecutive tournament, with Chen Meng winning a close game score of 4-2 (4-11, 11-7, 11-4, 9-11, 11-9, 11-6).
However, Chen Meng could not laugh. Chinese spectators at the stadium cheered for her. She shouted “Sun Yingxia” even if she scored and “Sun Yingxia” even if she lost.
In particular, whenever Chen Meng scored, the stadium was filled with silence, and some even booed. It is true that Sun Yingxia is overwhelmingly popular in China, but it is still somewhat unconvincing.
The status of table tennis in China is enormous beyond expectation. Sun Ying-sha is a player who boasts immense skills and popularity enough to dominate the women’s MVP award. Chen Meng, who is in her 30s, is regarded as a “losing star” compared to Sun Ying-sha. For Sun Ying-sha fans, she is a stumbling block to her career.
Fortunately, table tennis fans from all over the world seem to be cheering for Chen Meng as the “fandom fight” continued even in international competitions representing the country. On social networking services (SNS), various reactions such as “Chen Meng, you fought well,” “I showed you what the value of sports is,” and “You must have done something wrong.”
