"In 8 years of international competitions, I conceded the ball 5 times, so I didn't want to play again." This phrase came from the mouth of Jiao Zhimin, the main force of women's table tennis at that time. Speaking of Jiao Zhimin, many fans should remember that she was the leading female table tennis in the 80s of the last century, with fierce playing style and flexible footwork, with super strength, she won the national championship three times and won the National Games championship, the Asian Games championship and the Asian Championship champion. He also defeated three world champions in a competition, including Geng Lijuan, Cao Yanhua and Dai Lili, and won the championship in one fell swoop.
Having become a national champion and an Asian champion, she is very eager to win in international competitions. However, when the opportunity came, she was asked to concede the ball to her teammates to ensure that the champion was foolproof. In the women's singles competition of the 1988 Olympic Games, after a fierce competition, Jiao Zhimin and two other teammates Li Huifen and Chen Jing advanced to the semifinals, and a player from Slovakia, Hrahova, reached the final four. At that time, the matchup situation was Jiao Zhimin against Li Huifen, Chen Jing against Herakhova.
Considering that Jiao Zhimin once lost to Herakhova in the game, and Li Huifen won this opponent, coupled with the lack of experience in the competition, the coaching team was worried that Chen Jing might lose to the opponent, for the sake of safety, let Jiao Zhimin give the ball to Li Huifen in the semi-finals, so that even if Chen Jing lost, Li Huifen would have a greater chance of winning the opponent, it can be said that in order to ensure the women's singles championship, Jiao Zhimin became a victim at that time.
In fact, Chen Jing became the big dark horse in that Olympic Games, first winning Klakhova, and then defeating Li Huifen in the final to win the women's singles championship. Chen Jing also made history for this, becoming the first women's singles champion in the Olympic table tennis event.
For this handicap, Jiao Zhimin was very dissatisfied in his heart, because the Olympic Games are the ultimate goal of athletes, and no one wants to miss such an opportunity. So after the game, Jiao Zhimin said that sentence with a frustrated look: "In the 8 years of international competitions, I gave up the ball 5 times, so I didn't want to play again." "
The sixth man believes that the handicap of that year, although it is not in line with the spirit of fair and just sportsmanship, but in the face of glory, individuals can sometimes only make sacrifices. The coaching staff's worries are a bit redundant, even if they don't let the ball, the last laugh is also a national table tennis.
After the Olympic Games, Jiao Zhimin, who was in the year of playing, chose to retire and did not want to continue his fate with table tennis. She had no choice but to study abroad, in Sweden, she met Ahn Jae-hyung, a Korean who had long admired her, under the sincere pursuit of the other party, Jiao Zhimin was felt, and eventually a lover finally became a family, and Jiao Zhimin became a Korean daughter-in-law.
After marriage, the two were very happy, Jiao Zhimin became a korean family in the fragrant food, not long after, the two had a love crystallization, the son was born. It is worth mentioning that the Korean table tennis side has repeatedly invited her to come out to play, but she politely refused. Although Jiao Zhimin has suffered too many grievances, she does not want to play for other countries. However, with a strong sense of enterprise, she chose to start a business and set up an information service company in Beijing, under her leadership, the company's business was booming.
Bidding farewell to table tennis, but harvesting legendary exotic love and family, Jiao Zhimin's life experience is rich and colorful, although there are some sorrows during her table tennis career, but she has done a good job in the business field, and she is also a big winner in life when she harvests happiness.
