The descendants of the dragon have reached the Olympic peak again
Some people say that table tennis is China's "national sport", and this is true. Since the birth of table tennis, Chinese players have become the leading figures in the sport. Especially since the beginning of the new century, the Chinese table tennis team has shown the momentum of a "dragon" and is invincible.
In this Paris Olympics, the Chinese table tennis team once again showed the world amazing dominance. In men's singles, Fan Zhendong continued the domineering spirit of the world No. 1 and went all the way to the quarterfinals. In the first round, facing Zamudenko from Ukraine, Xiaofat did not slack off at all, and controlled the rhythm of the court throughout the whole process. He sometimes swings short from a wide angle, sometimes pulls horizontally, and sometimes rushes to grab points, completely disrupting his opponent's rhythm. Even if he occasionally misses a few points, he can quickly adjust and quickly regain the initiative.
In the women's singles field, Chen Meng easily advanced with a calmness like Mount Tai. Facing Algeria's Lochlebi, Big Dream was not in a hurry. She used her excellent on-court adaptability and consistency to quickly find her opponent's technical holes and unleashed a series of targeted attacks. The forehand two-sided fast attack hit like a storm, and the backhand point knife was calm and restrained, giving people a feeling of ease. The opponent gradually ran out of strength, and Da Meng became more and more courageous, and finally won 4:0.
In the mixed doubles, the new pair of Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha also withstood the pressure and reached the final and finally won the crown. In the quarter-finals, they faced Chinese Taipei's Lin Yunru/Chen Siyu, and the two youngsters showed no stage fright. In the face of the opponent's sometimes fierce and sometimes treacherous attack, Xiao Wang played steadily, Xiao Sun was lively and smart, the two were full of tacit understanding and cooperated seamlessly.
They were also able to deal with the key balls calmly, and finally won 4:2. In the semifinals, facing Korea's Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin, Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun continued to play steadily, without giving their opponents any chance, and won 4:2. In the final, against the mysterious North Korean pair Lee Jung-sik / Kim Jinying, although the opponent's strength was good, Xiao Wang and Xiao Sun still won the championship 4:2 with their excellent psychological quality and on-the-spot adaptability, achieving the first Olympic gold breakthrough of the Chinese team in this event.
From the dominance of Xiaopang Dameng to the new force of Xiao Wang Xiaosun, Chinese table tennis has always maintained strong competitiveness. Behind this, in addition to the efforts of every athlete, there is also the support of the national system. In the face of many changes in the world table tennis arena, Chinese table tennis people are also constantly seeking change and innovation. The introduction of modern training methods such as "intelligence" and "artificial intelligence", the improvement of athletes' awareness of self-management, and the improvement of the replacement mechanism of the old and the new have all become the magic weapon for Chinese table tennis to maintain its advantages. It is precisely with the courage to seek innovation and change that Chinese table tennis can be invincible.
Another factor that cannot be ignored is the obsession and love of Chinese table tennis people for this sport. For them, table tennis is not only a job, but also a belief and a pursuit. They painstakingly study every detail and practice every move tirelessly, and this infinite love for table tennis is irreplaceable by any gold medal and benefit. This heartfelt love has also infected generations of Chinese. No matter how tortuous the road ahead is, I believe that Chinese table tennis people can uphold their original intentions and continue to move towards their dreams!
As an ordinary Chinese fan, every time I see the national table tennis players sweating and fighting tenaciously on the field, I am extremely excited and proud. They not only speak for Chinese sports, but also show the world the spirit of Chinese people who are indomitable and always strive for the first. I hope that Chinese table tennis people will make persistent efforts and continue to write brilliant achievements in the Olympic arena. I also hope that all Chinese can draw strength from them, work hard in their respective fields, and contribute their own strength to the realization of the Chinese dream!
