On the evening of August 4, Beijing time, the 2024 Paris Olympic Games table tennis competition ushered in the men's singles final, Chinese player Fan Zhendong defeated Sweden's Moregard 4:1, and after winning the championship, Fan Zhendong held his hands in front of his chest, imitating the iconic celebration of France football star Mbappe. "Chubby" explained with a smile: "The atmosphere here is like watching football, it's very shocking. So I want to thank you all in this way. ”
After another Chinese player, Wang Chuqin, unexpectedly exited in the first round, Fan Zhendong went alone in the following matches and came back from a desperate situation to defeat the biggest "roadblocker", Japan's Tomokazu Zhangmoto, and finally met Moregard, who eliminated Wang Chuqin in the first round.
Objectively speaking, there is not much suspense in this game. After the start of the game, Fan Zhendong, who was a little slow to heat up, lost a game at 7:11. But he quickly adjusted his form, and the difference in strength between the two sides gradually became apparent. 11:9, 11:9, 11:8, Fan Zhendong won 3 games in a row.
The game entered a crucial fifth game, and Fan Zhendong was full of momentum in the opening stage, and soon led 3-0, playing a timeout from Moregaard. Although after the pause came back, Moregard was still seeking change, but it did not disrupt Fan Zhendong's rhythm, and the score became 6-1, and Fan Zhendong took the lead by a large score. After the score became 9-2, Moregard made a beautiful spin that made the two look at each other and smile. After Fan Zhendong won the gold medal point 10-3, Moregard chased 5 points in a row, until the sixth gold medal point, Fan Zhendong hit a straight ball with a backhand, and Moregard couldn't reach it. In the end, Fan Zhendong won the championship with a total score of 4:1.
Talking about the state adjustment of the whole game, Fan Zhendong said after the game: "I think it is still very release, the results are something that everyone can see, but the process of coming all the way is also very release. ”
This victory also made Paris a "blessed land" for Fan Zhendong. In 2018, Fan Zhendong won his second World Cup men's singles championship trophy in Paris; In 2024, Fan Zhendong will complete the Grand Slam at the Paris Olympics, and will become the second male table tennis player after Ma Long to achieve the "Super Slam" table tennis championship in one of the Olympic Games, World Championships, World Cup, Asian Games, Asian Championships, Asian Cup, Tour Finals, and National Games singles championship.
