In fact, in recent years, there have been many people who have withdrawn from the national table tennis coaching team, Chen Xuan, Liu Guozheng, Huang Haicheng and Guo Yan have brought out a number of champions, and their successive departures have made many fans worried about the preparation of the Paris Olympic cycle.
After Guo Yan left the national table tennis, he was invited to teach at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and started his next journey with a new identity. On March 30, Beijing time, she posted a training video recorded by her appearance, and Guo Yan, who had not appeared for a long time, personally shared the table tennis training method with the majority of fans, which was very professional and sophisticated, and received many fan messages and likes.
Although there are many talents in The Chinese table tennis scene, Guo Yan, who is fierce and fierce in the style of ball, has left a strong mark. Born in 1983, she entered the national team at the age of 15. In the years of the national team, Guo Yan grew rapidly, and in 2006, in the Women's Table Tennis World Cup, she reached the final all the way to the final, and finally defeated Zhang Yining to win the women's singles crown and ascend to the throne of the world championship for the first time.
In the "post-Zhang Yining" era, Guo Yan successfully took over the burden and became a veritable female table tennis sister. From the 2010 Moscow Team World Table Tennis Championships, to the subsequent World Cup, Asian Games, World Championships, etc., Guo Yan has made great contributions to the Chinese team to stand on the stage. Unfortunately, in more than ten years of national team career, Guo Yan, as the main force, has never qualified for the Olympic Games, so he has been called "the most tragic female table tennis player" by many fans.
In 2014, the 31-year-old Guo Yan officially announced his retirement. After retiring, Guo Yan founded his own table tennis club, dedicated to grassroots training and the discovery and training of young players. However, Guo Yan has always had a strong affection for the national team, and in 2019, she was invited to enter the national table tennis women's team as the head coach of Grand Slam player Ding Ning. Although many people say that Guo Yan is suspected of "picking peaches", while guiding Ding Ning, Guo Yan also excavated and trained Wang Yidi, which is enough to prove her coaching ability.
However, with Ding Ning's defeat in the Tokyo Olympic team, Guo Yan also silently left the national table tennis coaching team, and she was invited to Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics to become a physical education teacher. Her arrival was warmly welcomed by the majority of students, so that Beihang quickly blew a "ping-pong whirlwind". In addition to teaching at the university, Guo Yan will also share training videos on personal social platforms to teach table tennis enthusiasts to devote themselves to exercise more scientifically.
Having enjoyed the light and glory of a world champion, having also had the experience of coaching Grand Slam players, and now quitting table tennis to become an ordinary physical education teacher, this is a special experience for Guo Yan. Bless her to turn around and welcome her new life with open arms.
