Table tennis is China's national sport, and everyone has always had a different feeling about table tennis.
In addition to the fact that table tennis is the national sport, it also has a lot to do with the Chinese table tennis team that has always stood at the top of the world table tennis for so many years.
In fact, in addition to table tennis, there are also many advantageous sports in Chinese sports, such as diving, weightlifting, etc., but the most related to table tennis should be badminton.
The General Administration of Sports has almost put together the management of table tennis and badminton, and has set up a table tennis center, and the Chinese badminton team is still one of the strongest teams in the World Badminton Federation, although its performance has declined in recent years.
The Chinese badminton team has also produced many Olympic champions and world champions over the years, and after these athletes retire, some of them marry rich people, some marry celebrities, but some marry some men who are not as famous as themselves.
Today, let's take stock of the "four sons-in-law" of the Chinese badminton team:
One: Zhang Ning's ex-husband Yu Yang, the current Li Ang
Zhang Ning, born in 1975 in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, is 49 years old this year.
Zhang Ning has been practicing badminton since he was a child, and was selected for the Liaoning Provincial Badminton Team at the age of 12, where Zhang Ning met a male player, that is, Yu Yang.
Yu Yang was born in Dalian in 1974, one year older than Zhang Ning, and he entered the Liaoning provincial team a year earlier than Zhang Ning.
When Zhang Ning and Yu Yang first met, the two of them were not convinced, as long as they met, they would definitely quarrel, and both of them felt a little incompatible with each other.
It wasn't until 1990 that the two were selected for the national youth training team together, when they were training in a remote place in Fuzhou.
One day, the other players went to training, Zhang Ning was lying in the dormitory because he was sick, Yu Yang didn't want to care about each other, but thinking that before they came to the training team, the coach of the Liaoning team told the two to help each other, so he went to the dormitory to see Zhang Ning.
Who knows, Zhang Ning has a high fever of 38 degrees, Yu Yang not only carried Zhang Ning to the team doctor, but also took out the only remaining instant noodles for Zhang Ning to eat after coming back.
After this incident, the relationship between the two gradually eased, especially Zhang Ning slowly developed a dependence on Yang, but the two were only teenagers at that time, so they were called brother and sister to each other.
After entering the national team, Zhang Ning has not been able to play, Yu Yang has always encouraged her, and the relationship between the two has slowly warmed up, and by 1995, the two officially established a relationship.
In 2001, Zhang Ning, who was 26 years old but had not yet participated in the Olympic Games, was very disappointed in her heart.
After getting married, Zhang Ning's career slowly improved, and she won the World Championships in 2003 at the age of 28, and the Olympic champion in 2004 at the age of 29.
Of course, at this time, Yu Yang had already retired and served as a doubles coach in the second national feather team, and the plan of the two was originally that after the Athens Olympics, Zhang Ning would retire and then have children.
However, after the Athens Olympics, because the young generation of national badminton athletes has not yet grown up, the coach hopes that Zhang Ning will persist for one session.
In this way, the 33-year-old Zhang Ning won the Olympic women's singles championship at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but her relationship with Yu Yang also cracked, and the two went through divorce procedures in December of that year.
After the divorce, Zhang Ning entered the national team as a coach, and when he led the team to Germany to participate in the competition in 2010, he met Li Ang, a veteran of the national feather.
Li Ang is 11 years older than Zhang Ning, and Li Yongbo is an athlete of the same period, the two have known each other for a long time, but there is no personal relationship, after learning that Zhang Ning divorced, Li Ang began to pursue Zhang Ning, it is worth mentioning that Li Ang had a previous marriage, and his ex-wife and daughter also lived in Germany.
In 2012, Zhang Ning married Li Ang, and in December of that year, 37-year-old Zhang Ning gave birth to a daughter.
Two: Zhao Yunlei's husband Hong Wei
Zhao Yunlei, who was born in Yichang City, Hubei Province in 1986, is 38 years old this year.
Zhao Yunlei's husband Hong Wei was born in Xiamen, Fujian Province in 1989 and is 35 years old this year, Hong Wei is three years younger than Zhao Yunlei.
Speaking of Zhao Yunlei and Hong Wei, many people may not have heard of it, but when it comes to Zhao Yunlei and Zhang Nan, many people should be familiar with it, the two are not only Olympic champion combinations, but also had a relationship, but in the end Zhang Nan married Zhao Yunlei's women's doubles partner Tian Qing.
It was probably in 2009 that Zhao Yunlei began to partner with Zhang Nan in mixed doubles, and since then, the women's doubles combination of Zhao Yunlei and Cheng Shu has been the world's No. 1.
But Zhang Nan has not had any outstanding results before partnering with Zhao Yunlei, and after partnering with Zhao Yunlei, the two have won the All England Open, the World Championships and so on.
During this period, because of the injury of women's doubles partner Cheng Shu, Zhao Yunlei began to partner with Tian Qing in women's doubles, before partnering with Zhao Yunlei in women's doubles, Tian Qing did not have too outstanding results, and after partnering with Zhao Yunlei, the two won the Asian Games championship, the Asian Championships and so on.
In the process of partnering with Zhang Nan, because of a hug between the two after winning the All England Championships, fans thought that the two were already dating.
Especially with Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei winning the mixed doubles championship at the London Olympics and Zhao Yunlei and Tian Qing winning the women's doubles championship at the London Olympics, the more famous they are, the more fans pay attention to their private lives.
But in fact, Zhang Nan first fell in love with Tian Qing, but at that time, the two were too young to determine the relationship, so Zhang Nan partnered with Zhao Yunlei, so the two fell in love as the partners lasted longer, but who knew that Zhang Nan and Tian Qing were together again in the approaching Rio Olympics.
This can make Zhao Yunlei angry, not to mention the reason why the two have obtained the certificate on the Internet, just say that one is a mixed doubles partner and the other is a women's doubles partner, both of whom are Zhao Yunlei's closest people, this feeling is like the whole world betraying herself.
In the end, Zhao Yunlei suddenly announced that she would give up the women's doubles when she was approaching the Rio Olympics, and the reason was: to ensure mixed doubles, and she was unwilling to do both.
Everyone knows that this is Zhao Yunlei's revenge, but in the face of this situation, no one can force Zhao Yunlei, even if it is forced, how far can this kind of partner with a discordant face and heart go in the Olympics.
Just like Zhao Yunlei and Zhang Nan, the ace combination of Olympic champions and World Championships, finally won only the bronze medal in the Rio Olympics.
After the Rio Olympics, Zhao Yunlei announced her retirement, and also announced that she had broken up with Zhang Nan.
In 2018, Zhao Yunlei found her own happiness, that is, her junior brother Hong Wei, who was three years younger than herself, and the two announced their marriage in June of this year, and it is worth mentioning that Zhang Nan and Yu Tianqing also officially announced their marriage in November of this year.
Hong Wei is also a badminton player, and has also won the Thomas Cup with the team, and has also won the men's team and men's doubles championships in the National Games.
Three: Wang Yihan's husband Gu Zhengyun
Born in Shanghai in 1988, Wang Yihan is 36 years old.
Wang Yihan's husband Gu Zhengyun was born in 1989, one year younger than Wang Yihan, and it is worth mentioning that the two have the same birthday.
The reason why Wang Yihan embarked on the road of badminton is because her mother likes to play badminton very much, so Wang Yihan played badminton with her mother when she was very young.
When Wang Yihan was 9 years old, her parents enrolled her in a badminton interest class, and Wang Yihan began to officially practice badminton.
Wang Yihan's talent in badminton is very high, because after training in the interest class for about half a year, she was selected by the Shanghai Junior Sports School.
In 2002, 14-year-old Wang Yihan was sent to the Shanghai Sports Team, and not only that, but almost at the same time, Wang Yihan was also selected for the national second team.
In 2006, two years after entering the national second team, Wang Yihan entered the national first team, and shortly after entering the first team, she defeated Xie Xingfang, the top two main players in the national feather women's singles at that time.
In this year's World Cup Invitational Tournament, 18-year-old Wang Yihan defeated Zhang Ning and Xie Xingfang, two world champions, and won the world championship title.
After the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Zhang Ning and Xie Xingfang, two veterans, gradually faded out of the national team, and Wang Yihan, who was only 20 years old, basically sat firmly in the main force of the national feather women's singles.
In 2009, the 21-year-old Wang Yihan won the All England Women's Singles Championship for the first time, and then became the No. 1 women's singles champion at the Sudirman Cup this year.
Also in this year, Wang Yihan won the women's singles championship in Japan, Hong Kong, and France, and became the veritable No. 1 main force in the national feather women's singles.
Before the 2010 Uber Cup final, Li Yongbo, then the head coach of the national badminton, said: Wang Yihan will be the 'world's first sister' if she wins this game.
As a result, in the game, Wang Yihan lost one game first, and fell behind 16-20 in the second game, scored 6 points in a row, saved four match points, successfully won the second game 22-20, and finally won with a big score of 2-1, worthy of her ranking as the world's No. 1 at that time.
In the 2011 World Championships, 23-year-old Wang Yihan successfully won the women's singles championship, and at this time she basically confirmed the position of the first sister of the national feather, but compared with these false names, Wang Yihan attaches more importance to the London Olympics a year later.
With the 2011 Badminton World Championships and the London 2012 Olympic Games held in the same venue, Wang Yihan felt that she was infinitely close to the London Olympic champion.
But in the end, with the birth of Li Xuerui, Wang Yihan finally reached the women's singles final at the London Olympics, but lost to Li Xuerui and only won a silver medal.
After the London Olympics, Wang Yihan is still the main force of the national feather women's singles, and in an interview, she also said that for the sake of her career, she will not fall in love before the age of 25.
But later, with the rise of young players in the national feathers, Wang Yihan also found it difficult to achieve good results in some competitions, and he was even more early in the competition for places in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
In 2016, Wang Yihan announced his retirement from the national team, returned to play for the Shanghai team in 2017, and officially announced his retirement in 2018.
During this period, Wang Yihan fell in love with her younger brother Gu Zhengyun, who is also a badminton player of the Shanghai team, and the two got married in 2019.
Four: Li Xuerui's husband Qiao Bin
Born in 1991 in Dadukou District, Chongqing, Li Xuerui is 33 years old this year.
Li Xuerui's husband Qiao Bin was born in Xiangtan, Hunan Province in 1992 and is 32 years old this year, one year younger than Li Xuerui.
The reason why Li Xuerui embarked on the road of badminton is because when she was a child, her parents were busy with work, and she has been living with her grandparents, which has developed her naughty and mischievous character.
So when Li Xuerui was 7 years old, in order to control her too naughty character, Li Xuerui's parents sent her to Dadukou District Sports School to practice badminton.
At first, Li Xuerui was naturally reluctant, but Li Xuerui's talent in badminton is too high, she is tall and long, and her conditions are very good, and the coach takes care of her very much.
In this way, with the double encouragement of her parents and coach, Li Xuerui slowly began to practice badminton seriously.
When she was in the fifth grade of primary school, Li Xuerui won the first place in the age group of the Chongqing Youth Badminton Competition, and good results are always the best encouragement for a person, so after that, Li Xuerui trained harder and won the National Youth Badminton Championship for three consecutive years.
After that, Li Xuerui first entered the national youth team, and four months after entering the national youth team, she was selected for the national youth team, and soon after entering the national youth team, she was selected by the Bayi team.
After only 9 months in the national youth team, Li Xuerui entered the national second team, and in just one year, she went from the national junior team to the national second team, achieving an amazing triple jump.
After entering the national second team, Li Xuerui won the women's singles championship at the National Youth Championships in 2007 and the women's singles championship at the Asian Youth Championships in 2008.
In 2010, Li Xuerui, who was only 19 years old, entered the national first team, and then won the women's singles championship of the Asian Championships and the women's singles championship of the Thailand Grand Prix, which symbolizes the highest level of badminton, which means that Li Xuerui, who is only about 20 years old, has become one of the best women's badminton singles players in the world.
In 2012, Li Xuerui won the women's singles championship in two super events, German badminton and All England badminton, and finally won the Olympic quota and won the gold medal at the London Olympics.
In the year of the Olympic championship, Li Xuerui won 9 championships in one year, and the world ranking reached No. 1 at the end of the year, which lasted for 119 weeks, setting a record for the longest single time in the women's singles world.
Li Xuerui was invincible in those years, but at the Rio Olympics, after Li Xuerui torn her ligament in the semifinals, she fell into a long trough, during which she met Qiao Bin.
Qiao Bin is also a badminton player, and has won the Thomas Cup and the National Games team championship in his career.
Qiao Bin had a good impression of Li Xuerui early on, but he never had a chance, and Qiao Bin had been taking care of him until Li Xuerui was at a low point.
even paid silently for three years, although in terms of achievements and fame, Qiao Bin is far inferior to Li Xuerui, but Qiao Bin's dedication moved Li Xuerui, and in 2019, Li Xuerui finally agreed to Qiao Bin's marriage proposal.
On December 15, 2019, Li Xuerui and Qiao Bin got married, and in 2021, Li Xuerui gave birth to the crystallization of love with Qiao Bin and officially upgraded to motherhood.
