We know that after the Tokyo Olympic Games lost gold, Xu Xin rarely appeared on the world stage, followed by a decline in the world ranking, but he never announced his retirement, and after leading many positions closely related to the development of national table tennis, he ushered in a new position! As the promotion ambassador of the 2022 Chinese amateur table tennis team competition, this national player is continuing to contribute to table tennis in China and even the world, like Zhang Jike, continuing to work for the national table tennis, Liu Guoliang really did not look at the wrong person.
In addition, Xu Xin, who has been wandering in the world for many years, provides a lot of help for the men's team with a more severe development situation, whether psychologically or technically, this veteran of the arena is very experienced, and Xu Xin is also very willing to help young players. The assistance of the veteran can undoubtedly reduce the pressure on the coaching staff to a large extent, and Liu Guoliang, Qin Zhijian and others are also deeply pleased.
However, Xu Xin's career is not smooth sailing, Xu Xin has reached the top of the world ranking during his career, but at the end of his career, he did not qualify for the singles competition of the Tokyo Olympic Games, and accidentally lost gold with Liu Shiwen in the mixed doubles competition, leaving a lot of regrets, and even saddled with a lot of infamy. However, fortunately, after years of hard work being seen by coaches and fans, Xu Xin has now claimed a very important position, and his hard work has also made the national table tennis management deeply satisfied.
However, in the WTT Championships in Budapest, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan all failed to successfully block Zhang Benzhi and won the gold medal in the men's singles event, which is indeed worth the vigilance of male table tennis coaches, but also to make more efforts in cultivating young men's table tennis players, and now men's table tennis shows a trend of green and yellow, which is very unfavorable to the next world competition and preparation for the Paris Olympics. Let's keep an eye on how they perform next!
