star who won the World Cup men&#8217;s singles gold medal, has officially announced his withdrawal from the tournament on 18th May due to a series of neurological problems triggered by pains in his neck that appeared a short while ago, thus becoming the first World Champion to bid farewell to this tournament, and has no chance to fight with the Chinese team again.<\/p><p>Ovtcharov, born in 1988, is a very familiar table tennis player, he has risen as early as the Beijing Olympic cycle, and then participated in a number of international competitions and achieved good results, including in the men&#8217;s singles programme has taken two Olympic bronze medals, in addition to the World Cup in 2017 topped, and thus reap the title of world champion.<\/p><p>Ovtcharov started to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships in 2007, and has taken 4 times the runner-up in the men&#8217;s team and 1 time the third place in the men&#8217;s doubles, but the men&#8217;s singles and mixed doubles have never been on the podium, which has also become the regret of his career.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fad90f
