Abstract

As an outstanding representative of Chinese women's table tennis, Chen Meng not only successfully defended her women's singles titles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the 2024 Paris Olympics but also repeatedly achieved excellent results on the international stage, making significant contributions to consolidating the Chinese national team's world-leading position. This study takes the women's singles competition at the Paris Olympics as the observation object, utilizing literature review, video observation, three-stage technical evaluation, and statistical methods. It focuses on analyzing the characteristics of Chen Meng's technical application during matches, systematically and in-depth from three dimensions: serve and offensive attack, receive-and-serve techniques, and rally confrontation. Based on a detailed analysis of her technical advantages and shortcomings, combined with trends in her competitive status, and grounded in sports training theory, the study provides theoretical references for her scientific training in preparation for the Los Angeles Olympic cycle. Moreover, specific improvement suggestions are proposed for her technical weaknesses to help the athlete maintain her optimal competitive level and sustain the outstanding performance of Chinese women's table tennis in international competitions. This research holds significant theoretical and practical value for improving the technical and tactical analysis system for high-level table tennis athletes and guiding the training and preparation of Olympic champion athletes.
