[Reporter Liang Weiming/Comprehensive Report]The 2023 Mixed Team World Cup Table Tennis Tournament held for the first time by the International Table Tennis Federation ended in Chengdu on Sunday night. The two teams from Taiwan and Sweden were in full swing, but the competition was temporarily interrupted by the conference, just to hold the host China first. The award ceremony for gold, silver and bronze medals in , South Korea and Japan has aroused heated discussions among fans. Many people believe that this move is too rude and disrespectful to the players on the scene.
The powerful Chinese hosts showed overwhelming strength last night and quickly swept the South Korean team with a total score of 8:1. As for another event held at the same time, Taiwan, which had no chance of winning a medal, still went all out with Sweden, and the two sides were locked in a tug-of-war. Number 7:5, our country has drawn the card. As a result, the conference actually decided to hold an awards ceremony first, even interrupting the game, turning off the lights directly to carry out relevant procedures, and awarding medals to the top three teams of China, South Korea, and Japan. Since it took half an hour, it also made it difficult for those who were already ready to compete. Players from Taiwan and Switzerland must return to the warm-up venue and wait until the awards are over before they can proceed to the fifth point of the women’s doubles decider.
