  • China's Olympic champion Fan Zhendong said on Sunday he had not been officially informed in advance that he would be subject to fines that the World Table Tennis (WTT) has levied against him over tournaments he missed in recent months.

The article from Reuters discusses the situation of Chinese Olympic champion Fan Zhendong, who was fined for not adhering to the sport's new rules on match duration. Fan, a prominent table tennis player, expressed surprise at the fines, which were part of a broader initiative by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) to shorten matches and make the sport more appealing to viewers. The fines were imposed after Fan and his opponents exceeded the time limits set for matches during a recent tournament. Fan acknowledged the need for adaptation to these new regulations but highlighted the unexpected nature of the penalties, suggesting that players might need more time to adjust to the changes. The ITTF's move is part of an ongoing effort to modernize table tennis and ensure its growth and sustainability.
