On 29 October, ITTF announced the 44th weekly world rankings, Chinese players still reigning five first position, but careful fans found the four Olympic champions main Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Chen Meng was punished again, in the WTT Montpellier Championships on the points assigned 0, which also led to their eight valid points in the vacancy of a, may not be filled from other places.
It is worth mentioning that, due to the previous also appeared to withdraw from the game and did not provide a valid injury report, Wang Chuqin already has two matches were assigned 0 points, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng has three 0 points, triggered the fans hot debate.
Concerned friends know that the current table tennis world ranking system is not an athlete stacked with all the performance points, but only eight valid points are added, and then ranked; in addition, part of the tournament once qualified, in the absence of an injury report shall not be easily withdrawn from the case, or will be assigned 0 points penalty.
In addition to the WTT Montpellier Championships, Wang Chuqin had previously withdrawn from the WTT Chongqing Championships, while Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng missed the WTT Macau Championships and Smash China, which led to them being awarded 0 points in the above events.
In the case of 0 points, the world ranking of athletes will be more or less affected, for example, Wang Chuqin in recent years in seventeen tournaments have gained points, but because of the absence of the two WTT Championships, so can only harvest six effective points, the rest of the tournaments, although the results also can not fill the gap, but good thing that he is outstanding enough, so he can be ranked the world’s first for a long time.
And like also withdrew from the WTT Montpellier Championships Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu was not punished, combined with the previous announcement of the World Table Tennis Federation, the two should be to provide a valid injury report, so ‘spared’.

For the world ranking is originally very high Chinese table tennis team main force, one or two matches was assigned 0 may not be very big, but three times was assigned 0 words may make their ranking fluctuations, and then more points, it is more difficult.
For many foreign athletes who are not as well ranked as Chinese table tennis team’s main players, the impact of assigning 0 points is definitely even greater, for example, the African table tennis team’s first brother, Nigeria’s famous player Aruna, had a serious disagreement with the World Table Tennis Federation for this reason, and even said that he wanted to go to court – so do you think the above rules are reasonable?
