World Table Tennis: Renowned Chinese table tennis stars Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng announced their withdrawal from the world rankings on Friday, citing new regulations imposed by World Table Tennis (WTT). According to their announcements on Chinese social media, both of them have formally signed a notification declaring their "retirement from all ITTF-sanctioned events" on Monday.
As defined in the ITTF Statutes, the ITTF-sanctioned events include the events sanctioned by WTT.
Fan, the reigning men's singles champion of the Paris Olympics, shared the news earlier this morning. He stated that he is unable to comply with WTT's new regulation, which imposes fines on players for not participating in events, reports Xinhua.
