On February 24, 2022, a video was posted on social media announcing that Qiu Yi could serve as Sun Yingsha's head coach. Nearly half a year after the original supervisor Huang Haicheng left, the free-range little demon king Sun Yingsha finally had her own new head coach Qiu Yike. Now Sun Yingsha ranks first in the world in women's singles, and with the help of the head coach Qiu Yike, it is even more like a tiger, and the future is unlimited.
After the Spring Festival holiday in the Year of the Tiger, the Chinese table tennis team assembled in Lingshui, Hainan to prepare for the WTT series. In addition to Yang Guangdi, the coach of the provincial team who was invited to help prepare for the battle, Qiu Yike also appeared beside her. It is understood that Qiu Yike officially became the head coach of Sun Yingsha.
After the Tokyo Olympic cycle ended, Sun Yingsha's head coach Huang Haicheng left the team for family reasons. During the period when Huang Haicheng left the national table tennis, in order to better help Sun Yingsha prepare for the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, WTT World Cup finals and other competitions, the national team men's team coach Kill God Chen Xuan became Sun Yingsha's interim head coach. However, in February 2022, the media reported that Sun Yingsha's interim head coach Chen Xuan had officially returned to Jiangsu Province to serve as the men's first-line coach of the table tennis team of Nanjing University of Physical Education. He no longer serves as the coach of the Chinese table tennis team. The candidate for Sun Yingsha's head coach is once again confusing.
After many inspections, the coaching team of the Chinese table tennis team finally determined that Qiu Yike, the coach of the women's team, would serve as the head coach of Sun Yingsha.
Qiu Yike was selected for the national first team in 2003. The right hand holds the racket horizontally, and the two sides are anti-glue. The highlight of his career was in the second round of the 2003 World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, where Qiu Yi could beat world number one Bohr by winning four straight sets behind two sets behind. On February 27, 2014, Qiu Yike and 11 other male and female players officially withdrew from the national team. In 2018, Qiu Yike became a young coach of the national team. During the national team, he was in charge of the world champion Zhu Yuling, and later responsible for the training of young seedlings, showing a very good coaching ability.
Choosing him as Sun Yingsha's head coach, on the one hand, I value his aggressive and creative coaching style, on the other hand, young coaches and young players are also relatively smooth in communication. Qiu Yike, who took over Sun Yingsha's "teaching whip", said that there was both pressure and motivation, "Sun Yingsha is very spirited, and I hope to rush forward with her to help her achieve greater dreams."
Sun Yingsha, who welcomed the new head coach, said, "Qiu coached a very good athlete and a talented player when he played, and now that he is my head coach, I believe it will also bring me something new." I look forward to working with him in the Paris Olympic cycle."
