On April 9, this morning, Xu Xin, the Olympic champion of national table tennis, posted the back of his hand holding hands with his son and shouted "Miss you!" He also attached a red heart to express his longing for his wife Yao Yan and a pair of children. Xu Xin and his son's movements are very similar, and the father and son are in sync. This is also a rare news related to their own lives among the active members of the national table tennis team.
After entering the Paris Olympic cycle, the national table tennis team gathered in Lingshui, Hainan for closed training at the end of the year, and the main players arrived in Singapore in early March to participate in the WTT Grand Slam competition, and then withdrew from the WTT Star Challenge Doha due to the need for rest. At the end of March, he returned to China from Singapore and continued his training. Although the vast majority of the national table tennis players have social media, but the content sent by everyone is more and more irrelevant to personal life, if it is not a homework-like post-game summary, if it is not a commercial cooperation, if it is not a social hot event, it is difficult for fans to see the side of their lives again. Today, Xu Xin posted a hand-in-hand photo with his son, which is also a picture of his life that fans have not seen for a long time.
32-year-old Xu Xin's current position in the national table tennis team is somewhat embarrassing, a few days ago the International Table Tennis Federation announced the latest edition of the world rankings, preliminarily determined the national table tennis Hangzhou Asian Games participation list, men's team Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, women's team Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu qualified for the competition, of which Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha won the men's and women's single tickets. Each association has up to 5 men and 5 women to participate in the Asian Games, which means that the men's team still has 1 place, and the men's team also has Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan two main players, Xiang Peng, Lin Shidong and other rookies, the national table tennis coaching team will give the last place to whom?
In the latest edition of the world rankings, Xu Xin ranked eighth, behind Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and Liang Jingkun, who had already received tickets for the Asian Games, and ranked fourth in China. His recent competitive form has not been good, and in the WTT Singapore Grand Slam men's singles quarterfinals, the 2-3 defeat to Germany's Francesca missed the quarter-finals. Four years ago in the Jakarta Asian Games, in order to train newcomers, the national table tennis in order to train new people, snow hid the four main forces at that time Ma Long, Xu Xin, Ding Ning and Liu Shiwen, this year, Ma Long has been qualified to participate, Ding Ning has retired, Liu Shiwen faded out of the core lineup, Xu Xin, who is not in a very good state, may not have the opportunity to participate in two consecutive Asian Games. However, Xu Xin said in a recent show that he did not think about retiring for the time being, did not put down the racket, and perhaps everything he did in this life was related to table tennis.
