A few days ago, the news that Ding Ning, the winner of the Chinese women's table tennis women's grand slam team, stepped onto the Peking University Championship Lecture Hall has aroused the attention of many fans. After missing the Tokyo Olympics, Ding Ning thought twice and decided to bid farewell to his table tennis career and go to Peking University for further study. It is reported that the "Champion Lecture Hall" opened by Peking University, "Sports Culture and Innovative Spirit" course, aims to invite leaders in various sports and cultural fields to share their experiences and experiences on the road to champions, promote the spirit of champions to enter the campus, and help students draw the strength of growth from sports. As the former hero of the Chinese table tennis team, Ding Ning became the keynote speaker of the second lecture.
Many fans said that Ding Ning has achieved fame in her career, and she is still a leader on the road to study. The theme of Ding Ning's course is "More than Winning and Losing", mainly to tell you how he went from a ping-pong player to a grand slam step by step. As we all know, Ding Ning is a rare left-handed player in the Chinese table tennis team, and when she entered the national team in 2003, she was taken as a key training object by the coaching team. At that time, the national team, Zhang Yining and Wang Nan competed for supremacy, and Ding Ning, as a young general, learned more from the two sisters. At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Zhang Yining won the women's singles championship, and Ding Ning, who watched the game on the spot, was greatly encouraged.
Since then, the seeds of an Olympic champion have been planted in her heart. At the 2012 London Olympic Games, Ding Ning, who was in good shape, was unstoppable in the women's singles arena and successfully reached the final. Facing teammate Li Xiaoxia, Ding Ning encountered unprecedented challenges in the final, not only being limited by Li Xiaoxia at the technical and tactical level, but also being judged by the on-duty referee for several serve violations. Under the heavy pressure, Ding Ning's emotions were out of control and tears spilled on the field. In the end, after a bitter battle, Ding Ning was defeated by Li Xiaoxia and regrettably won a silver medal. After the game, the picture of Ding Ning crying and weeping in front of the camera is still fresh in people's minds.
Four years later, at the Rio Olympics, Ding Ning made a comeback, and after winning the team gold medal, she once again launched a challenge to the first Olympic women's singles gold medal of her career. Coincidentally, this time in the women's singles final, it was Li Xiaoxia who stood opposite her. After learning the lessons of the London Olympic final, Ding Ning played steadily in the women's singles final of the Rio Olympic Games, successfully revenge his opponents, won the women's singles championship, and became the fifth Grand Slam champion of the national table tennis women's team. In the international competition, Ding Ning won a total of 21 world championships, and his achievements were not lost to Deng Yaping, Wang Nan and Zhang Yining.
Originally, Ding Ning hoped to end his career at the Tokyo Olympics, but due to the outbreak of the epidemic, the Olympic Games were postponed for one year, and Ding Ning's entire Olympic preparation plan was interrupted. Ding Ning, who was plagued by injuries, declined in physical fitness and form, and under the impact of a new generation of players such as Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, Ding Ning finally failed to qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games. After the Olympic Games, although he still has a deep affection for table tennis, Ding Ning, who has already gone through the peak period, still has no choice but to retire. Today, the former captain of the national table tennis women's team is already a master's student at Peking University, and I believe she will break out of her own sky in a new field!
