Zhang Xielin
Every year on Teachers' Day, Deng Yaping will write a letter to her mentor Zhang Xielin to express her gratitude. Deng Yaping once said: If there was no Coach Zhang, there would be no Deng Yaping today. It can be seen that Zhang Xielin is important to her.
Deng Yaping recalled that when she first played table tennis, she was rejected because of her height. But only coach Zhang Xielin always firmly believes that Deng Yaping is a good seedling to play table tennis. In order to let Deng Yaping enter the national team, he proposed three times in spite of the opposition of others. It is precisely because of his persistence that Deng Yaping's later achievements have been made. In addition to digging deng Yaping, Coach Zhang Xielin himself has also achieved fame.
He himself is the champion of the World Table Tennis Championships, a straight board long rubber cutting ball out of the magic, known as the "Oriental Magician", and later with the wisdom of the pearl and careful guidance, he cultivated a large number of world champions such as Deng Yaping, Jiao Zhimin and so on. When he visited on behalf of the Chinese table tennis troupe, he was also personally received by foreign presidents, which is a unique honor.
Li Falcon
As we all know, there are currently 5 Grand Slam athletes in the Chinese women's team, namely Deng Yaping, Wang Nan, Zhang Yining, Li Xiaoxia, ding Ning, of which Wang Nan, Zhang Yining, Li Xiaoxia are all coaches in charge of Li Falcon. That is to say, from 1998 to 2016, the leaders of Chinese women's table tennis for nearly 20 years were li falcon's disciples.
The first Grand Slam player Li Falcon trained was Wang Nan, who at that time had some stereotypes in his playing style and could not break through to new heights. But under the guidance of Li Falcon, Wang Nan changed his playing style and improved his serve strength. She has won a total of 24 world championships in her career, and Li Falcon is indispensable.
After Wang Nan retired from the army, Zhang Yining became the object of Li Falcon's key training. Under his guidance, the "Great Devil" even had no choice but to retire because he could not find an opponent in the world table tennis world.
In addition to Wang Nan and Zhang Yining, the two Grand Slams, Li Falcon has also cultivated one, and she is Li Xiaoxia. When Li Xiaoxia first started playing, as soon as she arrived at a large game, she began to get sick, and then Li Falcon learned that this was a psychological reason, and gave her patient guidance and explanation, so that Li Xiaoxia's game mentality became more and more calm, and finally lived up to expectations to become a Grand Slam player.
Lang Ping
Speaking of the Chinese women's volleyball team, everyone remembers the spirit of the women's volleyball team. Speaking of Lang Ping, everyone remembers the myth created by Lang Ping with the Chinese women's volleyball team at the Rio Olympic Games. That year's Olympic Games are really unforgettable.
At the Tokyo Olympic Games, although Coach Lang Ping did not continue to recreate his glory, at the last moment on the field, the women's volleyball girls collectively gathered in a circle and bowed to Coach Lang Ping to thank the scene, which everyone remembered. Although Lang Ping is no longer in the position of coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the brilliant moments when she led the Chinese women's volleyball team will never be forgotten.
Zhou Jihong
Zhou Jihong can be described as the head of the Chinese diving team. She also had an excellent diving talent at a young age, and successfully won the gold medal in the 1983 World Cup.
After retiring as a coach, in 1999, Zhou Jihong led the diving team to participate in the World Championships, and won nine gold medals, which can be described as shocking, and those who once questioned Zhou Jihong's ability to coach were also beaten in the face; in the 2004 Olympic Games, the diving team members at this time were older and in an unstable state, so she boldly used He Chong, Qin Kai and other young players, and finally it turned out that her vision was really poisonous, and the team won six gold medals, two silver medals and one bronze medal. Once again, the youngsters continued the diving team's glory.
After the 2012 London Olympics, Zhou Jihong led the Chinese diving team to 24 Olympic titles; in Rio 2016, the Chinese diving team won seven gold medals; and this year's Tokyo Olympics also won one gold medal. Zhou Jihong's strength is not only because she has brought out many champions, she has more say for the Chinese diving team and swimming team, and now she has become the vice president of FINA.
Liu Guoliang
Liu Guoliang's greatness lies in the fact that as an athlete he is a Grand Slam winner, and as a coach he has trained many Grand Slam and Grand Slam winners. Although many netizens like to ridicule Liu Guoliang as a "fat man who doesn't understand the ball", this fat man is really fierce in bringing up the team.
For the sake of table tennis, he also gave up to run for the position of president of the International Table Tennis Federation, and it should be known that this position is not only a personal honor, but also the status of Chinese table tennis in the world.
It is such a fat man who is only for the cause of Chinese table tennis, he won glory for the country before retiring, and he insisted on the cause of table tennis after retirement. He used his life to shine for the cause of table tennis, he is the main backbone of the table tennis team, but also the spiritual totem of Chinese table tennis.
