On December 5, a delegation of Mainland Olympic athletes visiting Hong Kong came to the Hong Kong Institute of Sport to exchange views with Hong Kong's elite athletes. Olympic champion Hui Xin signed the racket of Hong Kong table tennis player Zhou Yingshi, and encouraged her to improve quickly, participate in more international competitions, and achieve her "small goals" as soon as possible.
"I'm excited to see a high-level athlete like Xu Xin." In the interview, Zhou Yingshi couldn't hold back the small excitement in her heart. During the Tokyo Olympics, as a table tennis player, she followed the table tennis competition throughout the whole process. She bluntly said that she liked Xu Xin's playing style very much, and every game was wonderful. Before the mainland Olympic athletes visited Hong Kong, Zhou Yingshi already had many friends around her to inquire about her, "They all asked if I can really meet so many athletes?" I said yes! In fact, zhou Yingshi, who is 19 years old this year, is extraordinary. In 2019, she participated in the 2019 Asian Table Tennis Championships as a member of the women's table tennis team in Hong Kong, China. In the women's team competition, it reached the quarterfinals. For the future, she also has a "small goal", that is, to rush into the World Championships and compete with more powerful athletes like Xu Xin. However, she also said that if she faced Xu Xin on the field, she would definitely go all out and would definitely not spare her subordinates. "Doing your best is the greatest respect for him."
In an interview with the Modern Express reporter, Xu Xin, the big brother of national table tennis, encouraged Zhou Yingshi to make rapid progress, participate in more international competitions, and achieve her small goals as soon as possible. In addition to table tennis players, Xu Xin also has a status - vice chairman of the Asian Table Tennis Federation, and he is also very concerned about the development of table tennis in Hong Kong, China. "At the Tokyo Olympics, many people saw the Hong Kong table tennis team win the bronze medal in the women's team, in fact, their men's team's performance was also good. For example, Huang Zhenting, who played while going to school, also entered the top ten in the world with his best score, and was a great player. In the future, Xu Xin also hopes to have more opportunities to interact with Fans, Athletes and Friends in Hong Kong, so that more people can fall in love with table tennis.
