Zhang Jike, all table tennis fans are no strangers, and there are many stories about him. Zhang Jike is a legend in the field of table tennis, his life is now like hanging up, heroic, untamed, full of personality, but the record is so good that people are amazing, once only 24 years old, with his own "Tibetan mastiff" and "blood", let him become the fastest athlete in the history of Chinese men's table tennis to achieve the miracle of the Grand Slam!
On May 15, 2011, Zhang Jike defeated the strong opponents in the Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships championships and won the championship again on November 13, 2011 in the men's table tennis world cup. In August 2012, at the London Olympic Games, Zhang Jike once again won the Olympic men's singles gold medal... After "445" days, he has achieved the "fastest" Grand Slam athlete in history
Zhang Jike's father is a table tennis coach, but he is deeply in love with football. The idol in his heart was "White Baili" Ziko, so he named his son Zhang Jike. Influenced by his father, he fell in love with table tennis since he was a child, and with great talent, he became the champion of the regional competition at the age of 10 and was able to beat his father.
Zhang Jike's belief since childhood is to always strive for the first. Peer competitions must get the first place. Until one time in a cross-level competition, he lost to a child two years older than him and got second. When he returned to Qingdao, he was sad and did not want his family to pick him up. The coach who led the team asked him, and he lied to the coach that my dad came, the coach left, and then he took the bus alone and went home sullenly. When I got home, my parents didn't get up yet, knocked on the door and didn't wait for my parents to ask him, so I went straight to the couch and cried. He was less than ten years old at the time. After the age of ten, his parents never saw him cry again...
After that, Xiao Zhang Jike began his open life. At the age of 12, he was selected into the Luneng Club; 2 years later, he entered the national second team; less than a year later, he entered the national first team, becoming the youngest member of the national first team. With the victory of the Hungarian and New Zealand Junior Open, Zhang Jike's ambition was exposed: I want to be the champion of the Beijing Olympic Games! As soon as this remark came out, the foreign media actually touted him, calling him a "natural champion".
The road to champions cannot be smooth. In 2004, a 16-year-old student was sent back to the provincial team for violating team rules. Zhang Jike, who returned to the provincial team, made a bald head... Zhang Jike, who had no mood at all, completely angered the coach Yin Xiao, who was teaching him at the time. The coach's scolding ignited Zhang Jike's fighting spirit.
Finally, the most brilliant four years of Zhang Jike's career began in Rotterdam in 2011 and continued until 2014. In the past four years, Zhang Jike has participated in a total of 5 competitions, all won the championship, and Zhang Jike's same age Ma Long, personally watched Zhang Jike from lagging behind himself to completing the surpass, during that time Ma Long was interviewed, saying that everyone in the team wanted to win Zhang Jike, Zhang Jike has become an indisputable legend.
A pair of squinting eyes, looking straight at the opponent on the field, seems to be an unruly look, and the opponent can never guess what he is thinking, sometimes think that he is still not ready, and even think that he has just woken up......... But the result ~ no, this foreign table tennis player "smell the wind" of the player, is to rely on such an expression, sweep the table tennis industry, won many world championships, he is Zhang Jike, is my favorite table tennis player, but also #my heart of the sports legend # one!
