Career


In 2019, Liu Shiwen won the world championships. In a sit-down interview with CCTV, Liu discussed her 2019 World Championship run, placing a big emphasis on the psychological aspect. She noted that she felt like an underdog against both Ding Ning in the semi-finals and Chen Meng in the finals.[6]

In 2020, Liu's season was cut short by the coronavirus pandemic. She did not return for ITTF's restart events at the end of the year due to injury.[7] Liu was expected to return in 2021 at WTT Doha, but plans were cut short by China's decision to withdraw due to coronavirus concerns.[8]


2021


After getting surgery for an elbow injury that sidelined her through most of 2020, Liu began training with her teammates again in January.[9]

In March, Liu participated in the Chinese National Team training camp and played in the China National Games Qualifying tournament, where she stated that she felt that she was fully recovered from her injury.[10] National team coach Li Sun stated that Liu looked even better than expected in training camp, which prompted speculation that Liu was a front-runner to represent China in the singles event at the Tokyo Olympics.[11] However, Liu lost 4-0 to Zhu Yuling in the quarter finals of the China Olympic Scrimmage in May.[12]

In May, Liu was selected to represent China in the team event but not the singles event at the Tokyo Olympics. However, shortly after she lost 4-0 to He Zhuojia in the quarter-finals of the second leg of the China Olympic Scrimmage.[13]

Liu played mixed doubles with Xu Xin at the Tokyo Olympics. In an interview in July, Liu stated that their doubles chemistry was better than ever before.[14]

In July, Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin won silver in the mixed doubles event at the Tokyo Olympics being upset 4-3 by Japan's Mima Ito and Jun Mizutani despite initially leading 2-0.[15] Following the loss, Liu withdrew from the team event and was replaced by Wang Manyu.[16]

In September, Liu Shiwen reached the quarter-finals of the women's singles at the China National Games. After he round of 16 victory over Gu Yuting, Liu stated that the China National Games was her first real tournament in a year and a half.[17] Liu defeated Gu Yuting to reach the semi-finals of the women's singles event, and won the mixed doubles gold medal with Xu Xin.[18] Liu went on to win bronze in women's singles after losing to Sun Yingsha 4-0 in the semi-finals and defeating Chen Meng 3-1 in the bronze medal match.[19]
