On the occasion of the Spring Festival, the national table tennis Olympic champions Liu Shiwen and Ding Ning updated the dynamics, posted beautiful photos, and gave fans a New Year's greeting. As a gemini star of the same generation, Liu Shiwen is still struggling in the arena, while Ding Ning has turned around gorgeously, studied at Peking University after retiring, and enjoyed a comfortable university life.
Liu Shiwen appeared on camera holding her beloved puppy, smiling like a flower, nail art and bracelet are extremely eye-catching. Behind Liu Shiwen, the closet of the champion wall is full of trophies, which are the honors that Liu Shiwen has won for more than 10 years.
Liu Shiwen is a world championship full slam, five world cup champions, the most unfortunate thing is the lack of the most important Olympic singles champion, so she did not have the opportunity to become a grand slam.
Looking around Liu Shiwen's career, it is full of twists and turns, sour, sweet and bitter. From the defeat of Moscow to the folding of the Suzhou World Championships, from being banned by the national team to being free-range, Liu Shiwen has sharpened a sword for 10 years, and finally won the world championship singles championship in 2019, crying and venting her emotions. Affected by the injury, Liu Shiwen missed the singles of the Tokyo Olympic Games, participated in the mixed doubles and lost the gold medal, and apologized with tears.
After so many blows, Liu Shiwen did not flinch, but started again after repeated failures. After losing the Tokyo Olympics, Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin won the mixed doubles gold medal at the National Games, defeated Chen Meng in singles, and won the bronze medal in women's singles. In the Macau Championship, Liu Shiwen, who returned to the field after several months, defeated Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha to win the women's singles runner-up, and once again partnered Xu Xin to win the mixed doubles championship.
In the new year, Liu Shiwen, who has unloaded her baggage, will still shine on the field, and now she truly enjoys the game and cherishes the opportunity to play. Women's table tennis has completed the replacement of old and new, but the existence of Liu Shiwen is still an example for young players to learn. After all, no one can be smooth sailing, the vast majority of them have gone through twists and turns, and it is even rarer to become a Grand Slam, and Liu Shiwen's fighting spirit is worth learning.
When Liu Shiwen still chose to compete on the field, Ding Ning, who had achieved fame, was studying graduate school at Peking University and finally had time to talk about love. Athletes are generally very entangled and reluctant when they face retirement, but once they make a decision, they must turn around resolutely.
On the occasion of the arrival of the New Year, Ding Ning held dumplings in his hands, smiled, and sent out blessings: I wish everyone a prosperous Year of the Tiger, peace and joy, and eat more dumplings.
