Reading guide: Fan Zhendong 4-1 Moregaard, won the first gold in singles + Grand Slam! The national table tennis championship is five consecutive championships, and China's 17th gold
Comeback in adversity! How does a "dark horse" make a "Grand Slam"?
As the saying goes, one minute on stage, ten years off the stage. This sentence has been perfectly interpreted in Fan Zhendong. On August 4, 2024, the men's singles final of table tennis at the Paris Olympics staged a thrilling showdown. World No. 4 Fan Zhendong defeated world No. 26 Sweden's Moregard 4-1 to not only win China's 17th gold medal at the Olympic Games, but also to achieve his dream of a Grand Slam. This victory is not only the pinnacle moment of Fan Zhendong, but also the witness of the Chinese table tennis team's five consecutive championships in the men's singles event. Let's take a look back at this amazing match and see how Fan Zhendong rose in the face of adversity and finally made it to the top of the Olympic Games.
The pinnacle of the start? The stunning performance of the dark horse Moregaard
Who would have thought that what was supposed to be a "sure win" match would be so full of ups and downs? In the first game, Moregard took the lead with a score of 11-7. This "dark horse" is not in vain, his forehand and backhand are quickly connected, like a sophisticated machine, which caught Fan Zhendong off guard for a while.
At this time, many fans may have pinched a cold sweat. After all, Moregard eliminated our other seed, Wang Chuqin, in the round of 32. Could it be that history is going to repeat itself, and Fan Zhendong will follow in the footsteps of Wang Chuqin?
Jedi Strikes Back! Fan Zhendong's indomitable soul
As the saying goes: "Without a cold bone, how to get the fragrance of plum blossoms." Fan Zhendong's performance confirms the wisdom of this old saying. In the second game, Fan Zhendong seemed to have pressed a magical switch and instantly regained his state. His twisted slash is a work of art, and his forehand grab is even more domineering. After a fierce tug-of-war, Fan Zhendong pulled back a game with a score of 11-9.
Seeing this, many fans must have breathed a sigh of relief. Fan Zhendong finally found his rhythm and began to show the quality of a world-class player. However, the next game is still full of suspense and excitement.
It's overwhelming! The glory of the king of national table tennis returns
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi", this sentence is used to describe the next game. Fan Zhendong seems to have completely changed as a person, and his every movement is full of confidence and strength. In the third and fourth games, Fan Zhendong won two consecutive games with a score of 11-9 and 11-8 respectively, rewriting the big score to 3-1.
At this time, Fan Zhendong's eyes were already lit with a raging fire. His defense was like an impregnable wall, and the multi-shot forehand pull made Moregard even more tired. Seeing this, I couldn't help cheering for Fan Zhendong in my heart. What kind of competition is this, it's simply a heroic epic!
Final Blow! The moment of the coronation of the gold medal
In the fifth game, Fan Zhendong broke out completely. The 7-1 start was simply a heavy punch, which directly stunned Moregard. Although the opponent stubbornly chased it to 8-10, Fan Zhendong had already won the game. The last twisted straight line, like a bolt of lightning, pierced the night sky of Paris. 4-1！ Fan Zhendong reversed to win the championship!
At this moment, Fan Zhendong not only won the coveted Olympic gold medal for himself, but also achieved five consecutive championships in men's singles for the Chinese table tennis team. What a crazy achievement! You must know that the Olympic table tennis men's singles event produced a total of 9 gold medals, and the Chinese team won 6 times! Except for 1988, 1992 and 2004, the national table tennis was the absolute hegemon of the table tennis world at other times.
The legend continues! The immortal myth of national table tennis
Looking back on this game, I have to sigh at the strength of national table tennis. From Liu Guoliang to Zhang Jike, from Ma Long to Kong Linghui, and now with Fan Zhendong, national table tennis is simply a star-making factory, constantly cultivating the world's top players. Fan Zhendong's victory not only made him the fifth Grand Slam player in national table tennis after Liu Guoliang, Zhang Jike, Ma Long, and Kong Linghui, but also won the 17th gold medal for the Chinese delegation in this Olympic Games.
But we can't ignore the wake-up call this game has given us. Wang Chuqin was eliminated in the top 32, which was definitely an accident. And Fan Zhendong's slow heat in the final almost caused a catastrophe. This shows that even if it is as powerful as national table tennis, it is not invulnerable.
Looking to the future! The road to the advancement of national table tennis
As the saying goes: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared for danger, and be prepared." "National table tennis needs to continue to work hard in the following aspects in the future:
- Cultivation of mental quality: Maintain a stable state in the tournament and not be affected by the sudden outburst of the opponent.
- Tactical Diversity: Facing different styles of opponents, there are more tactical options.
- Development of young players: Although there are top players like Fan Zhendong now, it is also necessary to prepare for the future.
Fan Zhendong's reversal victory is not only a victory in a game, but also a victory in the spirit of Chinese table tennis. It tells us that even in the face of great difficulties, as long as we persevere, we will be able to create miracles.
Watching the moment Fan Zhendong lifted the gold medal, I suddenly understood why we love sports so much. Because here, we can see the best of human nature: the spirit of never giving up, the power of teamwork, and the courage to strive for excellence.
Let's look forward to seeing more Chinese athletes like Fan Zhendong in the future arena, which will bring us more surprises and touches.
Finally, I would like to ask you:
- What do you think is the biggest highlight of Fan Zhendong's game?
- In the face of increasingly strong opponents in the international arena, what do you think the Chinese table tennis team needs to continue to improve?
