37-year-old Qiu Yike became Sun Yingsha's head coach! The two cooperated tacitly, and Li Falcon revealed two major reasons
The Chinese table tennis team is conducting closed training in Lingshui, Hainan, and today the national table tennis officially announced that Qiu Yike can become the head coach of Sun Yingsha, the world's number one in women's singles, and the two are preparing for the Paris Olympic Games together. After half a year, Sun Yingsha finally had her own head coach, and this closed training camp was accompanied by her provincial team mentor Yang Guangdi.
After the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Sun Yingsha's head coach Huang Haicheng voluntarily resigned due to family reasons and left the national table tennis. Since then, Sun Yingsha has not been in charge of coaching, and during the preparation for the Houston World Table Tennis Championships in Wenzhou last year, the national table tennis invited her mentor Yang Guangdi in the Hebei provincial team to guide her, but Yang Guangdi did not accompany Sun Yingsha to Houston. During the final of the World Table Tennis Championships and the WTT World Cup, male table tennis coach Chen Xuan became Sun Yingsha's temporary coach, training with her outside the field, guiding on the field, and many fans called for Chen Xuan to become Sun Yingsha's head coach. After the end of the Spring Festival, Chen Xuan resigned for personal reasons and returned to the Jiangsu team as a coach, and for a time Sun Yingsha's selection of coaches in charge became a mystery again.
Today, the national table tennis finally announced sun Yingsha's new head coach, he is Together with Wang Hao, Chen Xuan and called one of the "six little dragons" of the national table tennis Qiu Yike. Born in 1985, Qiu Yike joined the national table tennis team in 2003, and at the age of 18, he was given the opportunity to participate in the singles of the World Table Tennis Championships, and defeated Pol, who was the world number one at the time, and became famous in one battle. However, after that, Qiu Yike's career did not develop much, and he failed to join the main team of national table tennis, and in November 2009, he won the men's team World Cup championship with the team, realizing the dream of world championship. In February 2014, he retired with Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, Chen Xuan and others.
After retiring, Qiu Yike returned to the Sichuan team as a coach, led the Sichuan women's team to win the 2017 National Games women's team championship, and at the end of 2018, he was selected into the national team coaching team and became the head coach of the world champion and main player Zhu Yuling. With Zhu Yuling recuperating due to illness, Qiu Yike has no main team members, and Sun Yingsha also lacks a supervisor coach, after the run-in of this closed training, Qiu Yike officially became Sun Yingsha's supervisor coach. This may also mean that it is difficult for Zhu Yuling to return to the field in a short period of time, and it is unknown where the Rio Olympic P card winner will go in the future, and whether he can still find the competitive state before he fell ill.
During this closed training period, Sun Yingsha and Qiu Yike have begun to train as partners. In the World Table Tennis Championships posted in "Table Tennis World", Qiu Yi can feed Sun Yingsha the ball and give her a demonstration, and the two sides cooperate very tacitly. In the training, Sun Yingsha and Qiu Yike also talked and laughed, and the two got along well. According to Li Falcon, the choice of Qiu Yike to become the head coach of Sun Yingsha is, first, he likes Qiu Yike's coaching style, he is aggressive and creative, and second, the communication between young coaches and young players is smoother. Sun Yingsha from the 2020 World Cup, Tokyo Olympics, Houston World Table Tennis Championships won three women's singles runners-up in a row, Qiu Yike hopes to help Sun Yingsha in the Paris Olympic cycle to achieve the dream in her heart.
