In the just-concluded World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese team once again won all 5 championships, after the game ITTF President Solin said: "China can also try not to win all 5 trophies." "To put it mildly, the meaning is very clear, hoping that China will still give up one or two titles, so that table tennis players from other countries have hope of becoming world champions." After all, of the 50 World Table Tennis Championships champions in the past 20 years, only 3.5 (mixed doubles Xu Xin paired with South Korean players to win the championship) championship titles were taken away by foreign players, and there were 2 World Table Tennis Championships China did not send a pure Chinese combination to participate in the competition, which is equivalent to giving up the mixed doubles championship competition.
In the past, we called athletes who won the singles championships of the Olympic Games, the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup [Grand Slam winners], and now they refer to super players who have won the four WTT singles championships, Olympic singles champions and world championship singles championships. Historically, there have been 10 such superplayers, and the single-lap "Grand Slam" players are sorted by the time it takes to achieve the "Grand Slam", they are:
NO.10: Table tennis queen - Deng Yaping (China) - the world's first women's table tennis "Grand Slam" winner, one of the hardest athletes

Deng Yaping was born with average conditions, but through her own efforts, she stood at the top of the world. Deng Yaping's father Deng Dasong was a table tennis team player in Henan Province, and although she was born into a table tennis family, because she was too short in height, the sports school could not look at her at first. But Deng Yaping did not give up, and she started hard training that almost no one can match. Deng Yaping tied sandbags on her legs and practiced with two male sparring partners at the same time, each time for two hours, the cervical spine, lumbar spine, knee joint, ankle joint and other parts were injured, the knee joint fat pad was swollen, and the ankle joint was covered with bone spurs, but she did not say a word, and she became the world's first female table tennis person.
Deng Yaping's style is hand-to-hand combat, because of her short stature, she basically does not retreat from the stage to defend, through the near platform fast attack combined with the arc circle, the forehand is fierce, the backhand is weird, and the battle is generally ended in the first three boards. The rackets she uses are horizontal rackets, forehand reverse glue, and backhand long glue. Forehand and backhand glue are good for fast attacks, and backhand long glue is generally difficult for opponents to adapt. It is such a small man who has become the super hegemon of the world's women's table tennis and has been undefeated for a long time, which is the beginning of the peak of Chinese women's table tennis and a generation Chinese good memories.
NO.9: Prince of Ping-Pong - Kong Linghui (China) - a child soldier who ended the era of Lao Wa's rule
In 1961 days, he won a total of 3 championships in the three major competitions.

Kong Linghui is also from a table tennis family, his father Kong Xiangzhi is a table tennis player of the Heilongjiang provincial team, under the influence of his father, he began to formally learn to play at the age of 6, and trained with children of high age and grew up rapidly. In the 80s of the 20th century, when China's table tennis was at a relative trough, the state formed a group of 12-15 age group of baby soldiers to start the future gold rush plan, and Kong Linghui was selected. After the 90s of the 20th century, these child soldiers undertook the important task of winning gold and silver in Chinese table tennis on the world stage, and Kong Linghui was one of the leaders.
Kong Linghui belongs to the typical traditional horizontal shot fast attack combined with the European horizontal shot offensive style of play, pulling arcs on both sides, stable and ruthless, and has excellent tactical literacy. The right hand holds the racket horizontally, the arc ball is combined with a fast attack play, and the forehand draw is stable and continuous, but the lethality is slightly insufficient. He has a good sense of the ball, fast ball speed, good at playing multiple rounds, can sneak up on the line change in a stalemate, and has comprehensive overall skills, making him one of the leaders of the Chinese men's team to stand at the top of the world in an all-round way.
NO.8: Queen of Spades - Ding Ning (China) - the sixth "Grand Slam" player in China's table tennis to win the Olympic Games, World Table Tennis Championships, World Cup and National Games

In 2017, Ding Ning won the women's singles championship of the Tianjin National Games, becoming the 10th women's singles champion in the history of the National Games, and also became the sixth "Grand Slam" player in China's table tennis world to win the Olympic Games, World Table Tennis Championships, World Cup and National Games.
In October 2007, Ding Ning embarked on the road of table tennis because she had a mother who worked in the gymnasium, and her mother took her to the gymnasium every day to play ball, and then sent her to Liaoning for training at her own expense, and was finally brought to the Beijing team by coach Zhou Shusen. At the age of 17, she picked out the world table tennis championship Guo Yue in the sixth national city games to advance to the final, and Nick world champion Li Xiaoxia won the gold medal, opening her own championship road.
Ding Ning is an outstanding representative of horizontal shooting on both sides, arc circle combined with fast attack play. She has strong strength both forehand and backhand, strong ability to attack against pull, and excellent maneuvering and counterattack ability under passive defense. Due to the advantage of her left hand, she has a large attack angle, a tricky landing point, and a strong initiative in the game. Due to her strong performance in international competitions, the ITTF has always referred to her as the "Queen of Spades".
NO.7: Li Sledgehammer - Li Xiaoxia (China) - the master of masculine women's play, the pinnacle of women's table tennis technology
In 1714 days, the three major competitions won a total of 3 championships.
Li Xiaoxia, a native of Liaoning, born in 1988, 174cm tall, has won the 2008 World Cup women's singles championship, the 2012 Olympic women's singles champion, the 2013 World Table Tennis Championships women's singles champion, is the fourth female "Grand Slam" player of the Chinese table tennis team after Deng Yaping, Wang Nan and Zhang Yining. Because her style of play is biased towards male athletes, she plays with a tiger and a tiger, and is nicknamed "Li Sledgehammer".
Li Xiaoxia was 7 years old and accidentally met children of the same age playing table tennis, saying that she would not leave, and finally her mother was forced to sign her up for a table tennis class, Li Xiaoxia was very talented, and entered the Shandong Industrial Sports Team at the age of 10 and became a professional athlete, and former world champion Qiao Yunping became her coach. After that, she entered the national second team at the age of 13 and the national first team at the age of 14, and won the women's singles championship of the National Table Tennis Championship in the same year.
Li Xiaoxia's playing style is to hold the racket horizontally with her right hand, reverse glue on both sides, and combine arc circles with fast attacks, which is very fierce. Her overall style is very similar to Wang Liqin in men's table tennis, both of which are relatively solid in basic skills, relatively tall, and relatively large in control area. But her ups and downs are relatively large, according to the head coach of the national team Li Falcon, Li Xiaoxia is not as smart as Wang Nan, not as ruthless as Zhang Yining, every link is tightened, it is a German car with good performance, once the screw is loose somewhere, it will become a Xiali.
NO.6: Table tennis evergreen - Waldner (Sweden) - the world's first table tennis Grand Slam winner and the only non-Chinese Grand Slam winner
In 1215 days, he won a total of 4 championships in the three major competitions.
Jane Nova Waldner, a Swede, born in 1965, 178cm tall, is the world's first table tennis "Grand Slam" winner who combines the Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup champions, and the only non-Chinese "Grand Slam". Waldner is known as an evergreen in the table tennis world, which has competed with generations of Chinese players for more than 20 years, is an iconic figure in the world table tennis world, and is also the strongest opponent that the Chinese table tennis team has ever encountered.
Waldner began learning table tennis at the age of 6 and was invited to Shanghai, China to train at the age of 15, where he was greatly touched by the fact that he lost to a Chinese volleyball player who was training next to him. However, no one would have imagined that this kid with two rabbit teeth and freckles on his face would become the biggest opponent of the five generations of players in the Chinese men's team in 21 years. He has been ranked No. 1 in the world 19 times in his career, for a total of 68 months, and has always been ranked among the top players. Old fans will remember that every time the Chinese team attacked the men's singles championship, they had to constantly challenge the mountain of Lao Wa.
Waldner is the best player to integrate China's near-Taiwan fast attack style with the European mid-to-far platform two-sided arc circle play, and first proficient in the use of backhand bounce arc ball and side cut topspin ball, forming a new technical style of attack and defense. At the same time, he creatively used the "horizontal and straight grip" serving method, which greatly promoted the improvement of the first three board skills of European athletes. If it were not for Lao Wa, the gap between the current European table tennis scene and China would be even greater.
NO.5: Tyrant - Wang Nan (CHN) - the "Grand Slam" player who is tied for the first place in the number of victories in the three major tournaments
In 1,106 days, he won a total of 8 championships in the three major competitions.
Wang Nan, a native of Liaoning, born in 1978, 162cm tall, has won 8 championships in the "three major competitions": 1 Olympic champion (2000), 3 world championships (1999, 2001, 2003), 4 World Cup champions (1997, 1998, 2003, 2007). He is currently the director of the Cultural and Sports Department of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Youth League and the chairman of Weihai Nanhai Table Tennis Training Base Management Co., Ltd.
Wang Nan started playing at the age of 7, entered the provincial team at the age of 10, entered the national team at the age of 14, and won his first world championship at the age of 16. In the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Wang Nan won the women's singles and women's doubles championships, opening the "Wang Nan era" of Chinese women's table tennis. Throughout her career, Wang Nan won a total of 24 world championship titles, surpassing Deng Yaping to become the player with the most world championship titles, and also became the new "big sister" of Chinese women's table tennis.
Wang Nan holds the racket horizontally with his left hand, the first three boards are more prominent, the arc circle ball is combined with the fast attack play method, the grab and pull arc circle ball rotates strongly, the landing point is good, and the fast attack has a method. At the same time, she has good psychological quality, emotional stability, and strong ability to control the situation on the field. However, although Wang Nan is smiling and harmless on the field, he is a "violent temper" off the field, and the team has a special fine for falling rackets, and once kicked the table, so he also got the nickname "tyrant".
NO.4: The fat man who does not understand the ball - Liu Guoliang (China) - the first men's "Grand Slam" winner in Chinese history, the "brain king" of the Chinese table tennis team
In 1102 days, the three major competitions won a total of 3 championships.
Liu Guoliang, a native of Henan, born in 1976, 168cm tall, has won the 1996 World Cup, the 1996 Olympic Games, and the 1999 World Championships men's singles champion, becoming China's first men's "Grand Slam" player in 4 years. After retiring, he served as the head coach of the Chinese table tennis team, the vice president of the ITTF, the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, and the chairman of the board of directors of the WTT World Table Tennis Federation.
Liu Guoliang began to learn table tennis at the age of 6, and was selected for the national youth team at the age of 13 and the national team at the age of 15. When he was an athlete, he was famous for his love of brains, and every game was physically exhausting, while Liu Guoliang was even more brain-consuming. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, after the men's singles Zhang Jike's 1/4 final against Chinese Taipei's Chen Jianan, a netizen commented on the forum after watching the match: "Is the fat man behind the Chinese team an official?" It seems that he didn't understand the ball the whole game. Since then, Liu Guoliang has been called "a fat man who does not understand balls". Of course, this nickname mocking will definitely not be Liu Guoliang.
Liu Guoliang's technique is characterized by a straight grip of the racket in his right hand and a fast attack on both sides, he is the first table tennis player to adopt the straight racket horizontal technique and achieve success in official competitions, and the first athlete in mainland China to win the Olympic table tennis men's singles championship. Of course, he is not only a successful athlete, but also a successful coach, in the entire world table tennis world, the achievements of athletes and coaches combined, Liu Guoliang is the absolute first person in the world.
NO.3: Tibetan Mastiff - Zhang Jike (CHN) - The fastest Grand Slam in history, winner of three consecutive tournaments
It took 445 days and won a total of 5 championships in the three major competitions.
Zhang Jike, a native of Shandong, born in 1988, 181cm tall, won the 2011 World Table Tennis Championships, the World Cup and the 2012 Olympic Men's Singles Championship in only 445 days, becoming the "fastest Grand Slam in history". In the subsequent 2013 World Championships and 2014 World Cup, Zhang Jike won the championship again, setting a record of five consecutive championships in three major competitions.
Zhang Jike began to practice with his father Zhang Chuanming at the age of 5, he has no childhood, no youth, some are just endless training, his father's "ruthlessness" has left Zhang Jike with many shadows, and also gave Zhang Jike unlimited possibilities. He joined Shandong Luneng Club at the age of 12 and the national team at the age of 14, winning his first world title that year. The following year, he began to learn from Liu Guoliang and began the road to the championship.
Zhang Jike is a slow-hot athlete, and he tends to be worse when he plays the first game, often sleepy-eyed. But he is extremely resistant to pressure, the greater the pressure, the higher the rebound, and the game is also very wild, there is generally no sound during the game, but if it makes a sound, it is a roar. He lacks the low-key, modesty and prudence that Malone has, but the angularity and bloodiness in him are also something that Malone lacks. However, among all the "Grand Slam" players, Zhang Jike is also the most controversial, and some of the things that happened to him in the later period are really regrettable.
NO.2: The Great Devil - Zhang Yining (China) - the only "double slam" player in the world women's table tennis so far
In 1,355 days, he won a total of 8 championships in the three major competitions.
Zhang Yining, a native of Beijing, born in 1981, is 171cm tall and is the only "double slam" in the world women's table tennis so far. In 2004 and 2008, she successfully defended the Olympic women's singles championship, won two world championships in 2005 and 2009, and won the World Cup four times in 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005, becoming a veritable table tennis "big devil" in 10 years.
Zhang Yining's original name was "Zhang Ning", and he liked to play with boys since he was a child, because there were two children in the kindergarten called "Zhang Ning", so he added the word "Yi" in the middle of the name. He began to practice at the age of 6, entered the Beijing team at the age of 10, and entered the national team at the age of 12, and then began to grow rapidly under the guidance of coach Li Falcon. In the 1997 Eighth Games, Zhang Yining, who participated in the large-scale multi-sports for the first time, defeated Qiao Hong, Li Ju, Yang Ying, Qi Baohua and other champion-level celebrities, and had the strength of top players.
In 2002, Zhang Yining's achievements began to explode in full force, she won the World Cup women's singles championship, the ITTF finals women's singles championship, and the Busan Asian Games women's singles championship. In 2004, Zhang Yining first won the women's team championship of the World Table Tennis Championships with her teammates, won the women's singles and women's doubles championships at the Athens Olympics, and became another women's table tennis player who won two gold medals in one Olympic Games after Deng Yaping and Wang Nan. This year, Zhang Yining also won the table tennis World Cup championship. In 2005, Zhang Yining won the women's singles and women's doubles championships at the Shanghai World Table Tennis Championships, and won the World Cup women's singles championship again, achieving the "Grand Slam" and reaching the peak of her career.
Zhang Yining's nickname is very interesting, because she plays strongly, the opponent basically has no chance, and in the early days of playing absolutely do not give the ball, often playing opponents 0 points out, so that opponents on the sport of table tennis have a shadow, so foreign fans first began to call her "big devil". Especially after the "porcelain doll" Fukuhara Ai was "beaten to cry" by Zhang Yining, the nickname of "Great Devil" became more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
NO.1: Hexagonal Warrior - Ma Long (CHN) - The only player to complete the "Double Slam" + "Super Grand Slam"
In 1411 days, the three major competitions won a total of 7 championships.
Ma Long, a native of Liaoning, born in 1988, 175cm tall, the 10th "Grand Slam" player in the history of table tennis and the most terrifying one. He is the first men's "Double Slam" and "Grand Slam" winner in the history of the world table tennis world, and the only "Super Grand Slam" player who combines the Olympic Games, World Championships, World Cup, Asian Games, Asian Championships, Tour Finals, and National Games singles champions so far.
In 1993, Ma Long's father sent 5-year-old Ma Long to learn to play table tennis because table tennis can "exercise" and "not be easily injured", thus creating the first person in the world table tennis in the future. In 2001, when Ma Long was on the verge of elimination in the highly competitive province of Liaoning, coach Guan Huaan took a fancy to Ma Long and brought him from Liaoning to Beijing. As a result, the following year, Ma Long completed the triple jump of the Beijing team, the national second team and the national first team in three years. After that, Ma Long was even more out of control, winning dozens of world championship titles in one go, sweeping various competitions at home and abroad, and ranking first in the world for a long time.
Ma Long's style of play is similar to Zhang Jike's, but Ma Long's speed is faster and more comprehensive. His serve is dominated by side-top and downspin balls in the forehand triangle area, and the landing point is varied. The forehand position highlights the word "fast", the near stage is active, the hitting point is early, the arc is well controlled, and the backhand position can effectively combine bounce and quick tear. The technical variability and comprehensiveness make the opponent difficult to parry, and it is also known as the "hexagonal warrior" who has no weakness in the world table tennis world.
On the whole, if it were not for a super strong person like Waldner, the supreme hall of the sport of table tennis would all be occupied by Chinese. The emergence of Lao Wa used to be considered the beginning of the rise of the world table tennis (non-China), but they never thought that it was the peak of the world table tennis scene, and since then there have been no dominant non-Chinese players. Looking at the world of sports, a sport can be ruled by a country to such an extent, I am afraid that only diving can compare. I am [Flame Symbol Fun Sports], ordinary me grows because of each of your affirmations, and your attention, likes and retweets are the driving force for every author to move forward.
