A few days ago, the national table tennis is preparing for the WTT regular challenge muscat and the Grand Slam event in Singapore, and both athletes and coaches are already busy. Everyone also ushered in a piece of good news, Sun Yingsha's supervisor coaching candidate was finally confirmed, that is, the former national table tennis star Qiu Yike. At the same time, the coaching staff of the national table tennis has also made new adjustments. On February 26, according to the news of "Table Tennis World", Zhang Jikeen's teacher Zhong Jinyong returned to the national table tennis coaching team. The deputy secretary-general of the Table Tennis Association also gave an official explanation, explaining why Chen Xuan, Huang Haicheng and others would choose to leave.
There is an old Chinese saying called the soldiers of the iron camp, and after the end of the Olympic Games last year, some coaches left the national team. For example, Sun Yingsha's head coach Huang Haicheng chose not to continue to coach in the national table tennis, which also made Sasha fall into a vacuum period without a head coach. During this time, Li Falcon, Chen Xuan and others all coached Sun Yingsha on their behalf, but they were only the nature of the substitute class. It was not until this time that the national table tennis prepared for the Grand Slam tournament in WTT Singapore that the official finally made it clear that Qiu Yi could serve as sun Yingsha's head coach. Seeing that Sun Yingsha finally solved this problem, everyone was happy for her.
Many people originally thought that Chen Xuan might serve as Sun Yingsha's head coach, but the killing god chose to return to the provincial team to continue to develop. In fact, Sun Yingsha is likely to focus on training as a mixed doubles player in this Olympic cycle, so Chen Xuan also has a place to play, unfortunately, Chen Xuan did not stay in the national team to continue coaching, so Sun Yingsha and Qiu Yike finally established a cooperative relationship. According to the explanation of He Xiao, deputy secretary general of the Table Tennis Association, the contract between the coach and the association was signed in accordance with the Olympic cycle, and Chen Xuan and Huang Haicheng expired after the End of the Olympic Cycle, and it is very normal to choose to return to the provincial team for development.
On February 26, according to the news of "Table Tennis World", Zhong Jinyong and Cui Qinglei entered the national team coaching team. Zhong Jinyong's name many old national table tennis fans will certainly not feel strange, he is Zhang Jike and Ma Long's mentor. Although Zhang Jike's head coach when he won the Grand Slam was Xiao Zhan, it was Zhong Jinyong who laid the foundation for Zhang Jike. At the 2008 National Championships, Zhang Jike won consecutive championships against Wang Liqin, Wang Hao and Ma Lin, whose coach at the time was also Zhong Jinyong. And Ma Long has also received guidance from Zhong Jinyong, and he is also very grateful to this teacher.
Zhong Jinyong once coached the South Korean team for a period of time, and now he is returning to the national table tennis team to enter the coaching staff, which is undoubtedly gratifying. As the mentor of two Grand Slam winners, Ma Long and Zhang Jike, Zhong Jinyong's coaching ability is beyond doubt, and his entry into the coaching staff can also make the national table tennis team more powerful in the preparation of the new Olympic cycle. As for Cui Qinglei, he is a meritorious veteran of the national table tennis before, although he did not achieve too good results on behalf of the national table tennis, but as a sparring player, he worked hard in the national team for many years, and this return to the national team to enter the coaching staff is also an affirmation of Liu Guoliang's dedication to him for many years.
Cui Qinglei and Zhong Jinyong both competed through voting this time, and the two won the votes of the top three in the country, so they were able to enter the national team coaching team. With the joining of these two coaches, I believe it will help the national table tennis to further enhance its own strength and play better in the next competition.
