Now, Gao Jun has set a goal, she will work hard to help the American team to reach the Olympic podium, the 2024 Olympic Games and the 2028 Olympic Games, Gao Jun hopes to do it.
In 1997, Gao Jun joined the United States and represented the American team in major competitions such as the Olympic Games, and after retiring, Gao Jun became the coach of the American team, bringing out zhang an and other well-known players.
At last year's World Table Tennis Championships in Houston, Gao Jun was the coach of the American team, helping the multinational team of Zhang An/Lin Gaoyuan win the bronze medal in mixed doubles.
In addition, in the U.S. men's singles, rising star Kanak also performed well, at the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, he reached the men's singles quarterfinals and later lost to the former world number one pol.

National table tennis fans ridicule - Gao Jun "promoted", the most should be thanked is Lin Gaoyuan!
Of course, the national table tennis is also happy to see the progress of the table tennis level in other countries, after all, the national table tennis is a big one, which is not a good thing. If the national table tennis has been winning the championship and gold medal, in the future, the Olympic Games will cancel the table tennis event. Therefore, losing 1 gold at the Tokyo Olympics and 1 crown at the World Table Tennis Championships are acceptable results.
Now, more and more Chinese table tennis players and coaches are going out to help the development of table tennis in other countries. The 59-year-old veteran Ni Xialian is a clear example, when she was a player, she was once the world champion of national table tennis. Today, she represents Luxembourg and is luxembourg's pride. At an open tournament last year, Ni Xialian even defeated Wang Yidi, the main force of national table tennis, and broke out of the big cold.
