Ma Long, the double-lap Grand Slam winner of the Chinese table tennis team, is a legendary star in the world table tennis world and an idol for young table tennis players around the world. At the Korea Mixed Championship, an 11-year-old young player, Lee Seung-so, managed to attract everyone's attention. In an interview, he said he wanted to become an Olympic champion like Ma Long in the future and be able to beat Chinese players. As soon as this remark came out, it instantly triggered a hot discussion in the world table tennis world. Lee Sang-so, the first brother of the South Korean men's table tennis team, gave high praise to the star of hope, he believes that Lee Seung-so has potential, and in time, he will definitely be able to become the pillar of Korean men's table tennis.
Domestic fans joked, "It's good to have a dream, but you can't live in a dream"! Since the new century, the Chinese table tennis team has been the traditional hegemon of the world table tennis world. Whether it is a continental competition or an international competition, they are the perfect candidate for the gold medal. Especially after the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the national table tennis ushered in an era of talent blowout. At the same time, several old Asian rivals such as South Korea and Japan began to emulate the talent training model of the Chinese team. By hiring famous coaches, strengthening exchanges and cooperation, and consolidating the foundation of youth training, they have gradually opened up the gap with European teams, closely following the Chinese team.
In the women's singles event of the 2017 Asian Championships, Japan's Miyu Hirano went black to the end, defeated Ding Ning, Chen Meng and other main players of the national table tennis women's team in a row, and finally won the championship. It was after tasting the sweetness this time that the Japanese team continued to use the adolescent generation training model that they had explored. Ito Mimachi, Zhang Benzhihe is the leader of this new generation, Ito Mimachi and the national table tennis women's team little devil Sun Yingsha is the same age, and Zhang Benzhihe is younger than the national table tennis men's singles world number one Fan Zhendong.
Therefore, in the next two Winter Olympics, these two Japanese players will always be the opponents of the Chinese team. Like the Japanese team, the Korean table tennis team has also begun to pay attention to the "baby soldiers" in the cultivation of young talents. Lee Seung-so, an 11-year-old who made a splash in the Korean tournament, was one of the most outstanding players. In the Men's Singles competition in South Korea, although Lee Seung-so lost to his big brother Lee Sang-so, he was full of confidence in his future. He said his favorite player is Malone of the Chinese team, and his goal is to win two Olympic singles gold medals.
Lee Seung-so is well aware of his career plans, saying that he wants to enter the South Korean table tennis national team in 2024 and represent the South Korean team in the Olympic Games in 2028 to attack the men's singles gold medal. For the 2032 Olympic Games, Lee Seung-so is even more crazy to say that he wants to beat Chinese players and snatch the men's singles gold medal from the Chinese team. What do you think of the South Korean teenager's threat to defeat the Chinese player?
