With the advent of the Olympic Games, the entertainment industry is almost collectively dumb.
Compared with those little fresh meat with heavy makeup, the broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, manly sports students caught the attention of the audience.
Like Wang Shun in the swimming world, Wang Chang in the badminton world, and Wang Chuqin in the table tennis world, all of them are handsome guys.
As the most concerned project in China, the handsome guys of national table tennis are emerging in endlessly.
Don't look at those coaches who have now become "greasy uncles" with big bellies, their appearance when they were young was not inferior to that of popular male stars.
When I saw them when I was young, I understood why netizens sighed: The handsome ones are handed over to the country!
Wang Hao
Speaking of the first male god in the national table tennis world, it must be Wang Hao.
Don't look at his face now, the whole person is like an ordinary uncle, not at all.
But once he was very delicate.
Even because the difference between before and after is too big, netizens wonder if he has been under too much pressure over the years.
When he was young, Wang Hao, although he was not a handsome guy with a strong face, looked like Zhong Hanliang and Zhang Weijian.
Because of years of exercise, he looks refreshed and full of energy.
Especially after putting on the military uniform, I didn't know that I thought I was filming a TV series.
It can be said that he used his strength to prove that "the handsome guys are handed over to the country".
Of course, compared to his achievements, his appearance is his most inconspicuous strength.
As a soldier, he joined the Bayi team at the age of 13.
In just four years, he entered the national first team.
In addition to his strong strength, what is more important is his unique style of play, straight and horizontal, which makes the skills of table tennis to a higher level.
In 2002, after winning the men's singles title at the Egypt Open, he entered the top 10 in the world and became one of the most promising rising stars in table tennis.
It's a pity that no matter how strong his strength is, what is welded to him is the label of "second thousand-year-old".
Because of the three Olympic Games, although he reached the final, he did not win the championship.
Over time, he also suffered from "fear of finals".
Of course, this does not prevent him from occupying an important position in the history of table tennis.
In 2014, he won 7 consecutive championships with the team at the Team World Table Tennis Championships.
Not only that, but she also tied Marin with 18 world championships and became the male table tennis player with the most world championships.
The only regret is that there is not a single Olympic gold medal.
After retiring as a player, he served as the coach of the national team.
Fan Zhendong, who has now won the Grand Slam, is his most powerful disciple.
Seeing that the two of them are as fat as ever, it is really "there must be a disciple if there is a teacher".
Qiu Yike
Known as "Zhang Yixing in the table tennis world", Yi Ke was also a bloody handsome guy when he was young.
Who would have thought that such a person would become a "daughter slave".
As Sun Yingsha received more and more attention, the middle-aged man behind her who was carrying luggage and going wherever she went also became angry.
Looking at the way the two get along, at first some viewers who didn't know why thought he was Sun Yingsha's father.
After all, the towel that was discarded casually was like a father picking up his daughter from school.
After understanding, I found out that this was the original "rebellious boy" Qiu Yike!
What's even more unbelievable is that he was born in 1985 and is only 39 years old now?
At the age of 17, he made it to the national team.
In just one year, he made a name for himself by defeating the No. 1 Bol at the World Championships.
In addition to being noticed for his talent, his appearance also adds a lot of points to him.
Especially the photo of interfering on the phone, which was popular all over the streets and alleys, and there was a popular slogan.
"Wandering all over the Tianfu Kingdom, the sweetest is Qiu Yike."
It's just that although his appearance is sweet, his personality is very "tiger".
In addition to playing very ferociously, he was also often "deviant" during his time with the team.
It's just enough to go out without authorization, and I have reasoned with the referee on the field many times.
Because of this, his ban was longer than the game period.
Of course, this does not prevent him from being excellent and handsome.
It's just that what people didn't expect was that such a "drag brother" who could be a star turned out to be Sun Yingsha's "little nanny" after retiring.
What's even more shocking is that he was only 39 years old and had an "old man's smell".
It can be seen that worrying makes people get old~
Qin Zhijian
Qin Zhijian, who single-handedly cultivated Ma Long and Xu Xin, has now become the vice chairman of the Table Tennis Association.
Although he doesn't often appear now, his influence is definitely not inferior to Liu Guoliang and others.
Who would have thought that he had once crossed the line.
From the age of 6, he was introduced to table tennis.
He entered the provincial team at the age of 13 and the national team at the age of 17, and won many international championships.
His offensive style of playing with his left hand holding the racket in an arc has become the mainstream style of play in the table tennis world.
In the most glorious years of his life, he was also invited to star in a TV series.
Like now, when he was young, he was also a handsome guy who loved to laugh.
Later, after retiring, perhaps he was worried too much, causing him to have gray hair before the age of 50.
Regarding his full head of gray hair, he once ridiculed reporters and asked Ma Long and Xu Xin like this.
Looking at the naughty appearance of the two beloved disciples, he could only say: "Director Qin has worked hard!" ”
Kong Linghui
If you talk about the "white moonlight" of national table tennis, it must be Kong Linghui.
Although he is a sports student, his appearance when he was young was like a scholar who read poetry and books.
Who would have thought that under such a delicate face, there would be a body of muscles.
What's even more surprising is that on the field, he is more like a cheetah, with such explosive power.
Relying on hard power, he won the Grand Slam and became a legend.
In addition to being a great player, after becoming a coach, he has made great contributions.
It's a pity that the revelation in 2017 made him "ruined".
And his relationship with star Ma Su is even more discussable.
Later, because of the bad influence, he was dismissed as a coach, and his life has been bleak ever since.
Liu Guoliang
If you want to talk about the most popular table tennis coach now, it must be this "fat man who doesn't know how to play".
The reason why he was given this title back then was all a misunderstanding at the Rio Olympics.
At that time, the men's singles semifinals were underway, and an unknown Taiwan Province fan asked: "Is this person an official?" He doesn't know how to play the ball."
As soon as this remark came out, it directly became a popular joke in the table tennis world.
After all, his last title was the "Prince of Ping Pong".
From the age of 10, his life began to write legends.
Because he swept students of the same age with table tennis in the sports school, he had the title of "Shichahai Little Overlord", and then was selected into the national team.
From 1992 to 2002, he won numerous awards.
not only became the first Grand Slam player in the history of national table tennis, but also topped the ITTF rankings.
It can be said that his presence has reversed the perception of the yellow race in the West.
It was only later that an accident took a blow to his career.
At the World Table Tennis Championships, there were suspicions that he used illegal drugs.
This groundless suspicion directly made the Table Tennis Federation put forward an unreasonable request for him to be tested three times.
Later, the matter was clarified, but the rumors from the outside world were not cleared.
Later, in a fit of rage, he cut his ambition.
In the following races, the champion was used to slap those who questioned others in the face.
In 2002, he retired with honor, and a year later became the head coach of men's table tennis.
Over the years, almost all of his players have been strong and fierce, and they have won one championship after another.
And he was also dubbed "the best athlete and coach".
Don't look at him now, he has already become a greasy uncle, but when he was in the same frame with Kong Linghui back then, he was not compared.
Chen Xi
In one sentence to describe Chen Xi's appearance, that is: sword eyebrows and starry eyes.
When he was young, he was very handsome, and the whole person had a sense of delicacy as a Japanese male star.
Especially when he laughs, he simply fascinates a large number of fans.
In 2004, at the Athens Olympics, he single-handedly retained the men's doubles title.
Because his strength is too strong, he has been given the title of "Killing God" since then.
However, the most popular moment of his life turned out to be the news of going to the countryside to feed pigs.
Because of his short temper and disobedience to discipline, Liu Guoliang let him go to the countryside to train for a while.
Who would have thought that he was photographed helping the villagers feed the pigs.
Since then, the title of "the first person to feed pigs" has appeared on his honor list.
In 2018, after retiring from football, he returned to the national team as a coach.
In 2019, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Xu Xin and others won a number of championships because of their guidance.
So as a coach, he was shortlisted for the "2019 Best Coach Award".
Over the years, although he is still committed to the career of table tennis, because of his age, he also has traces of time.
epilogue
Everyone's name represents an era and is an indispensable figure in the history of national table tennis.
Although they stand together like a poster, they are not inferior to the big stars in the entertainment industry.
But under this handsome face, there is also their sweat day after day and the courage to defy hardships.
Every vertical and horizontal on their faces, every silver thread on their heads, is what they have worked hard for.
It can be said that today's table tennis can be passed down from generation to generation, and it is inseparable from the efforts of generation after generation.
It is they who make the national anthem resound all over the world, and make the national table tennis feared by the world.
These veterans who dedicate their lives to the table tennis world are the most worthy of chasing the "stars" of the Chinese people.
Today's Olympic Games are still in full swing, although table tennis has come to an end, but I hope that mainland athletes in other sports can play steadily.
Race out the results, race out the level!
In the end, no matter whether the results are good or bad, every athlete who wins glory for the country deserves to be respected!
