On January 13, good news came from Chinese table tennis. Wu Jingping, a former national table tennis coach, announced on social media that he had cooperated with the Anhui Sports Bureau on behalf of Huiyou Table Tennis to become the head of Anhui Men's Table Tennis and shoulder the task of the next National Games. Wu Jingping's work includes developing coaches and young players. The Olympic champion coach is out of the mountains again, and he also continues to contribute to the cause of Chinese table tennis, and hopes to cultivate good seedlings again.
Coach Wu Jingping, who is 67 years old, has previously retired and was also rehired back to the national team for a period of time, but later left the national team again. In the days when Fu was idle at home, Coach Wu Jingping still paid attention to table tennis. He has repeatedly posted photos of him watching the game at home on social media, and interestingly, the cat in Wu Jingping's home has also become the protagonist, and the cat in the photo is staring at the table tennis game.
Wu Jingping is going out of the mountains again this time, which is good news for the national table tennis, because his coaching ability is very good. Wu Jingping has produced many world champions and Olympic champions.
His first Olympic champion disciple was Olympic men's doubles champion Lu Lin, then 2008 Olympic men's singles champion Ma Lin, Olympic team champion Wang Hao, Olympic men's doubles champion Chen Xuan, and 2021 Olympic men's team champion Fan Zhendong. Fan Zhendong is a closed disciple of Coach Wu Jingping.
Wu Jingping wrote on social media: "On December 28th, I came to the Huangshan Huiyou Table Tennis Training Base and began to train athletes. Due to the low level of table tennis technology in Anhui, it has not reached the final round of the National Games in the past 20 years. Now Huiyou Ping Pong and Anhui Sports Bureau have reached an agreement to jointly participate in the table tennis competitions organized by the Chinese Table Tennis Association. Therefore, my important task in Huiyou Table Tennis is to lead the coaches and athletes of the men's team to complete the task of reaching the table tennis finals of the next National Games. ”
Wu Jingping also mentioned that he also needs to train grass-roots table tennis coaches in Anhui, so that the advanced training concepts and training methods of the national team can enter the folk. I hope that my arrival can bring some positive effects to the anhui table tennis sport.
Wu Jingping is equivalent to going deep into the grassroots to train table tennis players. The long-term prosperity of national table tennis is inseparable from the coaches of the local team to continuously cultivate good players.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Jingping and Zhang Benzhihe still have a certain relationship, because Zhang Benzhihe's father Zhang Yu is a disciple trained by Wu Jingping. Zhang Yu has become a Japanese citizen and changed his name to Zhang Benyu. Zhang Benyu's son Zhang Benzhihe and daughter Zhang Benmeihe have now become the two fierce rivals of national table tennis.
