Ma Long, the captain of the national table tennis team, watched the closing ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics and cheered and moved.
In a long text, Malone has a sentence that attracts special attention: "On the road to chasing dreams regardless of age".
Will it be with miracles: Malone participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics?
In 2024, Malone should not be 37 years old. Compared with evergreen trees such as Waldner, Bohr, and Ni Xialian, he is still very "young".
For Malone, a model student of self-discipline and hard work, it is not impossible to play three Olympic Games in a row.
Xu Xin, a contemporary of Ma Long, was a straight board master, but the age requirements of the straight board seemed to be more "harsh".
There is no shortage of talents in the Chinese table tennis team, and there is no doubt that Fan Zhendong will succeed him, and Wang Chuqin is the hope for the future.
Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan always seem to be a little bit "meaning" away from the world's top. The small team members in the back echelon, as well as Xiang Peng, Zeng Beixun and so on.
No matter when Malone retires, no matter whether the Dragons can play the third Olympic Games, the glory of the double grand slam has forever remained in the hearts of fans and friends around the world.
On the road of chasing dreams regardless of age, some netizens commented: "This sentence is also given to Ma Long himself, more are the athletes who have participated in three Olympic Games and many Olympic Games, as long as you believe that you can, you must be able to do it!" ”
Although Ma Long's training in recent months has been irregular, going to the Greater Bay Area to offer condolences, various commercial endorsements, and becoming the Olympic torchbearer No. 001, the Dragons are still insisting on training and preparing for the battle.
At the Hainan Lingshui Base, the Dragon Team and the guys trained together. At the world table tennis federation's inaugural Grand Slam (Singapore) in March, Malone will compete in the men's singles tournament!
Wang Chuqin, the Dragons' Beijing team and world championship mixed doubles champion partner, will be in the men's singles, men's doubles (with Fan Zhendong) and mixed doubles (with Sun Yingsha).
The Chinese table tennis team has passed on the torch, do you think Ma Long can create a miracle and go to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games?
