Who will win the 2016 Women’s Table Tennis World Cup?

They’re Chinese, they can’t run away, that’s right.

It’s hard to guess the oil spots:dizzy: Let the boss guess:victory:

I think Pre-President Di Han is okay:lol

On October 5, 2016, while fans were still celebrating Fan Zhendong’s victory in the men’s singles tournament and his pursuit of a grand slam, top female table tennis player Liu Shiwen withdrew from the women’s singles competition due to fever and a back injury; Cheng I-ju from Chinese Taipei took her place. Since the introduction of the women’s singles event at the World Cup in 1996, the Chinese women’s table tennis team has won all 19 championships. With no players competing this year, it is certain that the Chinese team will miss out on a World Cup singles title for the first time; it will also be the first time since the 42nd World Table Tennis Championships in 1993 that the Chinese team fails to win a championship trophy in the women’s singles category at a major tournament. The withdrawal of the world’s number one, Ding Ning, and the world’s number two, Liu Shiwen, significantly reduced the quality of the women’s World Cup singles competition. The absence of Chinese players added more suspense to the matches, but it is likely that the Chinese players based abroad will be those to win the title. Both Feng Tianwei and Jiang Huajun will not miss this opportunity. For the young Japanese player Mima Ito and the Korean player Ryoo Seul-yeon, it is also a great chance to strive for victory and gain an advantage for future competitions. In any case, the highlight of Liu Shiwen’s participation is the possibility of making history, while the highlight of her withdrawal from the competition is determining who will win the title; the women’s singles event at the World Cup remains worth looking forward to.

It’s hard to guess without Chinese players participating...

On October 5th, Beijing time, the International Table Tennis Federation issued another official announcement: there were further changes to the lineup for the 2016 Women’s World Cup, which is set to take place in Philadelphia, USA, from October 7th to 9th. Following the withdrawal of Ding Ning, the Chinese table tennis player who won Olympic singles titles, another competitor on the list, Liu Shiwen, a four-time champion of this event, also suddenly announced her withdrawal. At the previous 19th Women’s Table Tennis World Cup, the Chinese table tennis team achieved an impressive record of 19 consecutive championships, but no Chinese players will be participating in this 2016 Women’s Table Tennis World Cup. 　　In the latest announcement from the International Table Tennis Federation, Ding Ning withdrew from the competition due to a shoulder injury, while Liu Shiwen decided to withdraw because of a fever and a back injury. In the history of China’s 19 consecutive victories in the Women’s Table Tennis World Cup, Wang Nan, Zhang Yining, and Liu Shiwen have each won the title four times. Liu Shiwen’s withdrawal from this competition means she has lost the opportunity to surpass Wang Nan and Zhang Yining in 2016.

Japanese teenager Miu Hiraoka won the championship
