The national table tennis army has finally entered the Paris Olympic Village! On the scorching summer day of July 21, 17 certified bigwigs occupied a corner of the Olympic Village, as if an Avengers in the table tennis world were officially assembled.
This is not an ordinary 17 people, but the strongest team composed of 1 team leader, 5 coaches, 1 team doctor and 8 athletes, plus two ITTF bigwigs Liu Guoliang and He Xiao.
Tsk, this lineup is simply going to break the sky of the Olympic Village!
Imagine the scene when this group of people set off from the Deauville training camp: the coaches solemnly counted the number of people, for fear of leaving a baby player behind; The athletes dragged their suitcases, and their faces were full of the confidence that I was going to win the gold medal; Liu Guoliang and He Xiao looked unfathomable, as if they were thinking about how to catch their opponents off guard.
This team is slaughtering towards the city of Paris, and the momentum is so strong that even the Eiffel Tower will tremble for three points!
When you arrive at the Olympic Village, you can't just say you can get in.
These table tennis masters stood in line and obediently accepted a full hour of review and production.
Do you think they are muttering in their hearts: when they play ball, they can swing their rackets a dozen times a second, and now they have to wait here for an hour, isn't this a test of our patience? Finally, just after midnight, they were able to enter the coveted Olympic Village room.
It is estimated that everyone is eager to give their bed a kill ball and get a good night's sleep.
Fan Zhendong, a living treasure, couldn't wait to post a social update as soon as he entered the village.
The approximate content is: Brothers and sisters, I, Fan Zhendong, am here! Paris, are you ready for my violent smash? Good guys, this is to make the Olympic Village your own backyard!
Wang Chuqin, Ma Long and Wang Hao, the gods, are estimated to be hungry and want to find a canteen.
The result? After wandering around the Olympic Village for a long time, I dizzy myself.
Fortunately, I met an enthusiastic Chinese volunteer, and I found a restaurant.
Tell me, how come these masters who are pointing and playing on the table are like headless flies when they arrive in an unfamiliar environment? It seems that the sense of direction and the level of table tennis really can't be equated!
Speaking of training, the preparation of national table tennis has put a lot of effort into it.
Body strengthening? That's a must! Strength exercises, flexibility exercises, aerobic exercises, everything.
It is estimated that the team members are muttering in their hearts: Coach, we are here to play table tennis, not to participate in triathlon! But who told us to win glory for the country? You have to grit your teeth and stick to it!
Psychological adjustment is also a top priority.
Coaches may brainwash their players every day: Remember, you are the best! The gold medal is yours! The team members listened to it so much that they might dream of standing on the podium with the golden Olympic gold medal in their arms!
There is also an interesting little detail, and that is sun protection.
Didn't expect that, right? The boys and girls of our national table tennis have all become sunscreen experts.
All kinds of sunscreen shapes, that's called a variety of tricks.
Some are painted like giant pandas, and some are wearing sunhats to take off a modern version of Zhuge Liang.
I didn't know about this situation, and I thought I was here to participate in the fashion show!
Liu Guoliang, the godfather of national table tennis, is heartbroken.
In his last training session before entering the village, he personally taught the mixed doubles pair of Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin.
It is estimated that he hates iron and does not become steel, and shouted at the two young people: You are our first gold hope! Cheer me up! This situation makes it seem like the movie "Table Tennis Hero" is being made.
Speaking of Sun Yingsha, this girl is the undisputed queen of the world in the eyes of the International Olympic Committee.
Tsk, this title, I'm afraid that even Wu Zetian will sigh to himself when he hears it, right? As for Ma Long, he is known as the greatest athlete in the history of table tennis.
This evaluation is simply to crush the self-confidence of other players into slag!
Let's talk about table tennis teams in other countries.
Each took a promotional photo with a French theme, which seemed to be trying to give the host a face.
Our national table tennis is not vegetarian.
As soon as you wear the red, white and blue theme costume, the aura is almost like comparing to the Eiffel Tower! When the teams from other countries saw it, they probably muttered in their hearts: This Chinese team, it is also a must to change to a model without playing!
The Korea team has made a bloody investment this time.
Their Olympic ID photo, which is called a tall one, is simply the feeling of taking a photo of a movie poster.
The place where they live is minimalist and there is no air conditioning.
This operation, I'm afraid you want to use hard training to defeat the opponent? But then again, there is no air conditioning on such a hot day, and the Korea players are afraid that they will have to rely on willpower to cool down.
Finally, let's talk about our 11 sparring partners.
These lads are not here to visit Paris.
They remain on standby at their second base camp in downtown Paris, ready to provide off-village training support for their main players.
Some of them are the main candidates for the next cycle! While helping the main force train, while practicing secretly, this operation is simply to give full play to the extreme!
The Olympic journey of national table tennis this time can be said to be full of expectations, nervousness and funny elements.
Don't be fooled by their light-hearted appearances.
Everyone has a lot of energy in their hearts, that is, to show their skills in the Paris Olympics and win honor for the motherland!
Let's look forward to the wonderful performance of national table tennis in the Paris Olympics! I believe that they will use their strength to prove to the world that Chinese table tennis is still the existence that makes opponents fearful! Come on, national table tennis! Let's witness the birth of a new legend together!
Speaking of the performance of national table tennis in the Paris Olympics, it is really exciting! Although the competition has not yet started, our table tennis players have already made a lot of noise in the Olympic Village.
And guess what? Not long after entering the village, Fan Zhendong staged an Olympics on the tip of his tongue in the canteen.
This kid usually swings his racket on the table like flying, but he didn't expect to be tiger and tiger when he eats.
It is said that he tasted more than a dozen kinds of France food in one go, and even the waiter was dumbfounded.
Someone joked: Fan Zhendong, are you trying to compare France chefs?
A netizen commented: Haha, Fan Zhendong is going to use 'vigorously producing miracles' on eating! But then again, athletes do need a lot of energy.
I hope he can use this energy in the game and win glory for the country! I think that food culture exchange is also part of the Olympic spirit.
Through food, athletes can better understand the culture of the host country and strengthen friendships.
Trying different cuisines can also relax the athletes and ease the tension before the competition.
As long as you pay attention to nutritional balance, it is actually good to taste the local food in moderation.
Ma Long, the greatest player in the history of table tennis, has not been idle.
I heard that he opened a table tennis class in the Olympic Village, which attracted many athletes from other countries to learn from him.
Can you believe it? Even the powerhouses who lift weights came to learn from Malone how to improve their wrist dexterity.
This scene is like martial arts master Ma Long teaching table tennis internal skills!
Some netizens commented on this: Marlon is amazing! This kind of cross-discipline exchange is truly a perfect embodiment of the Olympic spirit.
Although everyone comes from different countries and competes in different events, everyone in the Olympic Village is an athlete who strives for excellence.
Ma Long's actions not only show the demeanor of Chinese athletes, but also provide valuable learning opportunities for other athletes.
This atmosphere of learning from each other and making progress together is the true charm of the Olympic Games.
I hope that through such exchanges, more people can fall in love with the sport of table tennis!
Sun Yingsha, the undisputed queen of the world, is not idle.
She started a nail salon in the Olympic Village, designing unique champion nail art for her teammates.
Imagine a group of old men, with red Chinese dragons painted on their fingers and golden Olympic rings, that picture, it's not too joyful! But then again, this method does enhance team cohesion, and maybe even give your opponent a visual impact during the game!
A netizen expressed his opinion on this: Sun Yingsha's trick is really amazing! Nail art not only relaxes the athletes, but also strengthens team cohesion.
This kind of nail art design, which is full of Chinese elements, is also a cultural export.
Imagine that when these athletes stand on the podium and the camera is on their hands, the glittering Chinese element manicure will definitely become a highlight! This kind of creative and positive approach is really worthy of praise.
I hope that our athletes can not only show their strength in the competition, but also show the charm and creativity of Chinese athletes in these details!
Liu Guoliang, the godfather of national table tennis, is heartbroken.
He walked around the Olympic Village every day, and from time to time he gave a surprise inspection to the players.
Once, he actually ran to knock on Wang Chuqin's door in the middle of the night, just to confirm whether this kid was secretly playing with his mobile phone.
The result? When Wang Chuqin opened the door, he really had a mobile phone in his hand! Liu Guoliang was so angry that he jumped to his feet: Xiao Wang, are you going to use your mobile phone to play table tennis?
Some netizens commented on this: We all understand Liu Guoliang's good intentions.
The preparation period before the Olympics really needs to be strictly managed.
I don't think we can control the athletes too much.
Relaxing, looking at your phone, and chatting with family and friends is actually a good way to adjust your mindset.
The key is to get it right, so that it doesn't affect rest and training.
As a coach, Liu Guoliang must hope that the players can devote themselves to the game.
In this information age, it is also unrealistic to completely cut off all contact with the outside world.
Perhaps there are reasonable rules, such as the use of mobile phones at a set time each day, so that athletes can stay connected without compromising their preparations.
Wang Hao, an old driver in the table tennis world, is not idle.
He organized a unique table tennis freestyle exhibition match in the Olympic Village.
And guess what? He actually hit a beautiful curved ball with a frying pan! This makes athletes from other countries look stupid.
Someone joked: Can the Chinese team even use kitchen utensils as rackets?
A netizen expressed his opinion on this: Wang Hao's trick is really amazing! Playing table tennis with a frying pan is a truly amazing idea.
This not only shows the superb skills of Chinese table tennis players, but also is a unique way of cultural exchange.
Imagine how interesting it would be if this 'kitchen table tennis' could become a new kind of performance! It can make more people feel the charm of table tennis, and it can also let everyone see the relaxed and humorous side of the athletes.
This kind of innovative spirit is exactly what sports should have.
We hope that our athletes can not only show their strength in official competitions, but also show the charm and creativity of Chinese athletes in these interesting interactions!
He Xiao, as the boss of the International Table Tennis Federation, has given political lessons to the national table tennis players.
It is said that he has to explain the latest rules of the ITTF to the players every day, for fear that a young man will commit a foul in the game.
Once, he was so engrossed in talking that he forgot about lunchtime.
When he reacted, he found that the team members were already sleepy-eyed.
He Xiao couldn't cry or laugh: Are you going to doze off on the table?
Some netizens commented on this: He Xiao's intentions are good, and it is indeed important to understand the rules.
Ways and means could need to be improved.
It's easy to get distracted, especially for young athletes.
Maybe you can use something more fun, like making some lively videos, or designing some interactive games to learn the rules.
Not only does this allow the athletes to better understand and memorize the rules, but it also makes the learning process fun.
In addition, it is also important to grasp the time and frequency so as not to take up too much rest time for athletes.
In the intense preparation stage, it is also important to take proper rest.
Although the competition has not yet started, these interesting stories of the national table tennis players have already made us look forward to the upcoming competition.
Let's look forward to their wonderful performances on the field! I believe that they will be able to create more glory in the Paris Olympics and win glory for the motherland!
