As we all know, in terms of the results of the competition and the number of main players who defeated the national table tennis, Ito Mimakoto is undoubtedly the number one opponent of the Chinese team, but even so, if compared with another foreign association predecessor, she is too far behind.
This person has not only won olympic gold medals, but also won the women's team, women's singles, women's doubles, mixed doubles championships of the World Table Tennis Championships, achieved the "Grand Slam" honor of the event, in addition to winning the World Cup championship, a total of 16 medals in three major competitions, and the Asian Games, Asian Championships have also reached the top many times, is this what Ito Mimakoshi can compare?
Just in April this year, the 52-year-old table tennis veteran reappeared and had dinner with Xu Xiaoyuan, a beautiful actress and his beloved apprentice, which awakened the old fans full of memories - who is she? Former Korean table tennis star and women's team coach Hyun Jung-yō! Do you know?
Mention xuan jinghe's name, it must linger in the minds of old fans. Born in October 1969, she is a rare Han Zhi (convex handle round head straight shot) raw rubber fast attack player in the table tennis world, her skills are very fierce, her psychological quality is very strong, and she is an uncompromising tough player.
As early as the 1986 Asian Championships, 16-year-old Hyun Jing-ho came to the fore, reaching the mixed doubles final with teammate Jin Huan and finally winning the silver medal. Soon after, she began to attack the Chinese team in the Asian and World Series.
At the 1987 World Table Tennis Championships, Xuan Jinghe and teammate Liang Yingzi made a threat together, winning the national table tennis combination He Zhili/Jiao Zhimin, Dai Lili/Li Huifen, winning the women's doubles gold medal, and realizing the dream of world championship before the age of 18 - this is the peak of the career of many foreign association players, but it is only the beginning of Xuan Jinghe's legend in the world championships.
In 1988, table tennis was first introduced to the Olympic Games, Xuan Jinghe once again broke through the Chinese team's defense line, and together with teammate Liang Yingzi defeated the national table tennis combination Jiao Zhimin / Chen Jing to win the first women's doubles gold medal in history, and the South Korean team also won the men's singles championship and runner-up in that Olympic Games, which was indeed a spring breeze.
After the Olympic Games, Xuan Jinghe even opened the mode of crazy impact on the champion, and then won the gold medal in three consecutive World Table Tennis Championships .
- In 1989, she teamed up with Liu Nankui to win the mixed doubles championship, defeating the national table tennis combination teng Yi/Hu Xiaoxin, Chen Longcan/Chen Jing;
- In 1991, the DPRK and the ROK formed a joint team, and Xuan Jinghe and his teammates defeated the Chinese team led by Deng Yaping and won the women's team championship;
- In 1993, Xuan Jing and the women's singles laughed to the end, defeating Tang Weiyi, Chen Zihe and Chen Jing to reach the top and achieve the "Grand Slam" of the World Table Tennis Championships.
In addition to the World Table Tennis Championships, Xuan Jinghe also won the gold medal with Liang Yingzi in the 1990 World Cup women's doubles competition and won the championship with Hong Ciyu at the Asian Games. In addition, she has won a total of 5 gold medals at the Asian Championships, which is not comparable to today's foreign association athletes, and Ito Mimachi is no exception.
After retiring from the united era, Hyun Jinghe has gone through several ups and downs in the Korean table tennis world, serving as the head coach of the Korean women's team many times, but she has also stepped down because of the contradiction with the Table Tennis Association, and later came to china to coach at league clubs - although she has defeated the national table tennis many times, it is clear that everyone is still convinced of her ability: indeed a powerful opponent!
Today's Xuan Jinghe has long been "hidden in the mountains" and enjoyed the joy of heaven, but her story is still circulating in the mouths of many fans, so can it be that the younger generations of foreign associations such as Ito Mimachi can surpass Xuan Jinghe's achievements? Let's sit back and wait for the new Chinese and foreign table tennis war to kick off!
