In the previous races, Sai Linwei and Wang Yiduo have left a deep impression on the fans, but due to the gathering of masters, the two have never been able to get on the podium. In this month’s WTT regular challenge competition in Muscat, Sailingwei not only participated in the singles competition, but also temporarily partnered with teammate Niu Guankai to participate in the men’s doubles competition.

Sailinwei/Niu Guankai’s opponent in the final was South Korean pair Ahn Jae-hyun/Lee Sang-soo, who had eliminated the national table tennis team Xu Haidong/Liang Yanlimu in the semi-final. In this campaign, Sailingwei/Niu Guankai entered the state relatively quickly. They performed outstandingly both on offense and defense at the beginning.

Stunning domestic competitions many times
Sai Linwei, who entered the Shaanxi Provincial Team at the age of 15, is the star of hope in the table tennis project in our province. In 2016, the 17-year-old Sai Linwei became famous in the National Table Tennis League A and helped the newly-promoted Shaanxi team win the championship. Selinwei has only lost 1 game in 10 appearances, among which he has defeated many active and former national players, and is the biggest contributor to the team’s aspirations. Shortly after the A League ended, Sai Linwei and his teammates participated in the National Table Tennis Championship known as the “Small World Championship”. Without a national player, the Shaanxi men’s team entered the top 8 for the first time. “Single” Sailingwei performed amazingly, especially in the key game against the rival Beijing team, he even won two national players such as Yan An and Wang Chuqin.
In June 2018, Sailinwei was officially transferred to the second national table tennis team, becoming the first player selected for the national table tennis team since the reorganization of the table tennis team in our province in 2009. In the second year of entering the national table tennis, Sailinwei represented the national table tennis team in the ITTF Challenge Belarus Station and won the U21 group championship. This is also the first time that a table tennis player in our province has won the international championship. In the men’s team competition of the National Table Tennis Olympic Simulation Tournament held in 2020, Sai Linwei played extremely well and was known as the “unpopular maker”. In last year’s 14th National Games, Hou Yingchao and Sai Linwei helped the Shaanxi men’s team make it into the top 4 of the men’s team historically. Among them, the defending champion Shanghai team was defeated in the 8-to-4 game.
After entering the national team, Selinway brings surprises every year. Winning the senior international championship for the first time this time will undoubtedly further enhance his self-confidence, and at the same time lay the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the national team and strive for more opportunities.
