For fans who love national table tennis, Zhang Jike is a very popular player, his playing style is full of violent aesthetics, his appearance is also handsome and dashing, and the words of the young hero are vividly interpreted. Although he has faded out of the arena for many years, Zhang Jike still has a very high popularity, and his performance on the field is still fresh in people's minds. On February 16, Zhang Jike ushered in the important day of his 34th birthday, and the World Table Tennis Federation also issued a text to remind everyone that Zhang Jike still holds a record that has not been broken, that is, it only took 445 days to become a Grand Slam winner.
Grand Slam is the highest pursuit of many table tennis players, in the history of table tennis, only Waldner, Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui, Zhang Jike, Ma Long, Deng Yaping, Wang Nan, Zhang Yining, Li Xiaoxia and Ding Ning have won Grand Slams. Players such as Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, Wang Hao, Wang Tao, Liu Shiwen and other players have not been able to complete the achievement of the Grand Slam. Zhang Jike is a top master who rose after the era of two kings and one horse, and his appearance made everyone see the style of violent aesthetics, and at the same time, Wang Hao had to leave the regret of the Olympic men's singles three consecutive Asia.
Zhang Jike has faded out of the game for many years, and his perennial conquest has made his injury condition more serious, which has also affected his play. Ma Long, who was the same year as Zhang Jike, is still active on the field and successfully defended his title at the Olympic Games, and the Dragons even want to participate in another Olympic Games. I have to say that if you stay healthy, Malone really has hope to realize this wish, after all, he is still the strongest of the male players. Zhang Jike, whose playing style consumes more on the body, cannot do this, and he continues to pay attention to national table tennis in other ways.
On February 16, Zhang Jike ushered in the important day of his 34th birthday, and many people sent birthday wishes to him. And the World Table Tennis Federation has not forgotten the former king, sending blessings to Zhang Jike on the social platform. At the same time, the World Table Tennis Federation also reminds everyone not to forget that Zhang Jike still holds a record that has not been broken, that is, it took only 445 days to get a Grand Slam, so it is also called "Mr. 445". This record originally had the opportunity to be broken by Chen Meng, but Chen Meng lost to Wang Manyu in the World Table Tennis Championships and did not win the championship, which also had no chance to break Zhang Jike's record.
Chen Meng's failure to shock the record also reflects the difficulty of Zhang Jike's record from another aspect. After all, it is very difficult to win the Olympic Games, the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup in more than a year. This means that athletes must not have a strong ability to adjust when they are in a slump, especially in the competition with their teammates, and they must maintain the upper hand. Zhang Jike did this from 2011 to 2013, and at that stage he could be said to be an invincible existence, and the big brother Wang Hao became his background board. At that time, Ma Long was eliminated by Wang Hao in the semifinals.
Although Zhang Jike is unlikely to return to the field, his achievements will not be forgotten by everyone. He is already a 34-year-old middle-aged man, and I believe that in the days to come, Zhang Jike will continue to contribute to the national table tennis and table tennis in his own way. As he himself said, he hopes to bring a group of young players, play the residual heat of a veteran, come on!
