Wang Manyu (Chinese: 王曼昱; pinyin: Wáng Mànyù, born 9 February 1999) is a Chinese table tennis player.[1] She won women's singles titles at the World Championships, Asian Games and Asian Championships. Wang also won Olympics gold medals as a member of Chinese women's team in 2021 and 2024.

Career

2018 began with Wang Manyu defeating world number one Chen Meng in the Hungarian Open Quarterfinals before going on to win the championship with wins against Chen Xingtong in the semi-finals and Sun Yingsha in the finals. In March, Wang Manyu was selected for the 2018 World Team Table Tennis Championships women's team after placing second in the team qualifiers.[6] After a successful WTTC, Wang defeated Chen Xingtong in the Hong Kong Open women's singles final followed by victory against Ding Ning in the China Open women's singles final.

2021

In May, Wang was selected as a reserve for the Chinese National Team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Shortly after, she won the second leg of the Chinese Olympic Scrimmage, defeating Olympic women's singles representatives Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha in the process.[7] Wang again beat both Chen and Sun in a closed-door scrimmage in June.[8]

Wang Manyu played in the team event of the Tokyo Olympics because of Liu Shiwen's withdrawal due to an elbow injury.[9] Wang and her team scored a 3-0 victory over Japan to win gold and continuing China's undefeated streak in the Women's team event.[10][11]

In September, Wang reached the quarter-finals of the China National Games after a tiring win against chopper Liu Fei.[12] Despite getting injured the day before the semi-finals and finals, Wang defeated both Olympic finalists Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha 4-0 the next day to win the women's singles gold medal.[13]
