On February 1, Beijing time, the official website of the International Table Tennis Federation recently announced the latest edition of the world rankings, that is, the world ranking list in the 5th week of 2022, in the ranking of female athletes, China's national table tennis player Sun Yingsha ascended to the throne of the world's first, becoming the first post-00s player to rank first in the world, creating a historical record. Since the official table tennis tournament held at the international sports arena in 1926 to the present 96 years, Sun Yingsha is the first post-00s player to achieve the world's first, reaching the achievement of the first person in history, which is extremely rare.
The name Sun Yingsha, in 2021 in the Chinese sports world can be described as a fire all over the country, born in 2000, at the age of 21 years old was selected into the Olympic list of the Chinese national table tennis women's team, together with Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu to compete in the Tokyo Olympic Games, won the gold medal of the women's team, and at the same time swept the Japanese table tennis team in the women's singles event, it was the strongest Ito Mimako, to achieve the goal of blocking Japanese table tennis, and finally won the women's singles silver medal.
You know, due to the strong overall strength of the national table tennis and the terrifying talent reserve, this group of players after 00 is only in the early stage, but Sun Yingsha is partial to "kill" a blood road and become an Olympic champion in one fell swoop. Subsequently, at the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Sun Yingsha won the mixed doubles championship, women's doubles championship and women's singles silver medal in one go, and the World Cup finals directly won the women's singles championship. This series of outstanding results is enough to reflect the excellence of Sun Yingsha, who is already a world top athlete and has the potential to be the first person of the national table tennis women's team in the future.
On the latest list, Sun Yingsha overtook her national team teammate Chen Meng, who fell to the second place in the world, followed by Japanese table tennis player Ito Mimachi, and the fourth and fifth places were Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi of national table tennis. It is worth mentioning that Japan's Ito Mimachi has just announced that she will abandon the mixed doubles project and will focus on playing women's singles and women's doubles, emphasizing that she wants to beat more Chinese players, which means that Sun Yingsha, who is the same age as Ito Mimachi, will have more fights with the Japanese active women's singles number one in the future.
Of course, it is not easy to become the first person of the Chinese national table tennis women's team, deng Yaping, Wang Nan, Zhang Yining in the past have played absolute dominance, Li Xiaoxia, Ding Ning and other famous players have also won the world championship many times, Sun Yingsha wants to enter this ranks and needs more proof of herself, relying on the current honor is not enough.
Just a new era will always have a representative figure to open up, the young and famous Sun Yingsha is a good candidate, the national table tennis coaching team of Sun Yingsha's evaluation is: "in case of chaos, the outside world values things are not too concerned", which highlights the difference between Sun Yingsha and other players, has a strong psychological quality, the former national table tennis devil Zhang Yining is this type of player representative, strong psychological quality, will not be afraid of any scene, has a strong will. For this reason, I believe that in the future, Sun Yingsha can fulfill the expectations of the outside world for her, and the Little Devil King will one day become a big Devil King!
