Recently, a video of Kong Linghui, the former coach of the national table tennis women's team, was circulated on the Internet, only to see him in a suit and leather shoes, greeting everyone with a face of spirit, which is very different from the image of the "ping-pong prince", the grand slam star and the gold medal coach in people's impression.
Although he has been away from the national table tennis for more than four years, Kong Linghui's first impression on everyone is always inseparable from table tennis, but unfortunately, although he is only 46 years old, he has faded out of the field of table tennis and concentrated on transforming into a business elite. In addition, Kong Linghui is still single, and many fans and friends shouted in the air: I wish to find personal happiness as soon as possible!
Born in 1975, Kong Linghui was once the top star in the hearts of a generation of Chinese people, and at the age of 19, he made countless fans crazy with the superb ball skills and handsome style when he won the World Table Tennis Championships.
After retiring in 2007, Kong Linghui began to transform into coaching, and later became the manager of the women's team, leaving in 2017 due to a controversial incident. After this, The Mentor Yin Xiao once came forward to talk to Kong Linghui, but the disciple replied that he wanted to be quiet and wanted to do something else—and even to this day, he chose the same thing.
Unlike Kong Linghui, his good brother Liu Guoliang embarked on a completely different life trajectory: on work, although Liu Guoliang also left the front line of table tennis in 2017, he soon officially returned, and then became the president of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, embarking on a higher leadership position; on life, Liu Guoliang married his wife Wang Jin at the age of 30, and later had two daughters, a family of four who were very happy.
Kong Linghui coached later than Liu Guoliang, and has not returned since leaving the table tennis scene; he has been in love with actress Ma Su for many years, and has not reported other scandals after the breakup, and has become a "golden bachelor" in the table tennis world like Waldner.
Today's Kong Linghui has unloaded the burden of the national team and lived a completely different wonderful life. And his old rival, 56-year-old Waldner, has chosen a similar lifestyle.
Before that, the old Wa even eighty-year-old mother has been married twice, but he himself has not yet found the other half, even more "powerful" than Kong Linghui, even long-term love has not been discussed, it seems that all the thoughts have been spent on table tennis, many netizens can not help but joke: Kong guidance is not necessary to learn him!
Recently, Kong Linghui has also been mentioned because of two table tennis events: first, Liu Guoliang and Waldner are preparing to hold a new event next year to lead The Chinese and World United teams to compete with each other, so many fans are also looking forward to Kong Linghui to join; second, the women's table tennis "Little Devil" Sun Yingsha has no supervisor coach, so the call for Kong Linghui to re-emerge from the mountain to coach is also increasing.
From the feasibility point of view, the possibility of the former manager coming back to be the head coach of an athlete seems unlikely, not to mention that Kong Linghui himself obviously has no such intention; as for the competition between Liu Guoliang and Lao Wa, Kong Linghui may be able to appear as a guest, and may also be able to make a cameo position, but this is not a regular event after all, so it has nothing to do with the personnel arrangement of the national team.
No matter how Kong Linghui chooses, we wish him health and happiness every day, but we still look forward to the three grand slams meeting again and recreating the legendary scenes of the past!
