The World Table Tennis Mixed Doubles Olympic Qualifying Tournament is about to kick off on April 11 in Havířov, Czech Republic – according to the previously announced rules, this tournament will see four pairs of pairs break through to qualify for the Paris Olympics, but no one from China, Japan, South Korea and other powerhouse pairs have signed up to take part, and are instead concentrating on preparing for the April 15 Macau Singles World Cup.
According to the official website, the two world champions Ni Xialian, Carlsson will participate in the war with his partner Luca, Carlberg, respectively, and the strength of the Huang Zhenting / Du Kailin and other combinations will also be present, “mysterious division” North Korea will also have athletes on the field, exciting to pay attention to!
Olympic table tennis mixed doubles program qualification can be generated through a variety of ways, this qualifying tournament is just one of them, in addition to continental competitions, world rankings and other channels through Paris, like Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha, Zhang Ben Jiwa / Hina Hayada, Lim Jong-hoon / Shin Yubin and other combinations can be completely carefree, so this time do not have to come to the Czech Republic to participate in the war.
Prior to this, Lin Yunru / Chen Si Yu and other combinations also appeared in the qualifying list, but not long ago, also chose to withdraw, think also feel that the Olympic Games selection is not a big problem, and therefore will put more energy into the World Cup preparations.
Finally participate in the qualifying round of the combination of the strongest strength of the Hong Kong, China’s finals champion, the World Championships third place pairing Huang Zhenting / Kay Du, in addition to Romania’s Jonescu / Szokos, India’s Ghana Nasekaran / Batra also has a very strong strength, and from the “mysterious division,” North Korea’s Lee Jung-sik / Kim Kim Ying The “mysterious team” from North Korea, Lee Jung-sik/Kim Kim Kim-young, is also the focus of attention.
Objectively speaking, Luka/Ni xialian (Luxembourg) and Carlsson/Karlberg (Sweden), who are joined by the World Champion, are not very strong, and it is difficult for them to be ranked at the top of the list of the tournament, and it is more difficult for them to get the qualification for the Olympics.
The rules of this qualifying tournament are relatively rare, in which the first day (April 11) will be all the participants of the twenty-six pairs of players divided into two groups, and then take the first place in each group to get the Olympic qualification; followed by the second day (April 12) to let the first day of the twenty-four pairs of losing combinations again divided into two groups of pairs to play, also with the first place in each group to go straight through to Paris.
With all the battles to be completed in two days, the competition is as fierce as you can imagine – so who do you think will come out on top and get a ticket to this year’s Olympics? Feel free to leave a comment with your own predictions for the tournament!
