At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, mainland table tennis player Ma Lin crushed her opponent with a huge advantage of 4-1 and won the men's singles championship in table tennis.
At the award ceremony, Ma Lin also announced to the media a high-profile relationship between herself and his wife Zhang Ningyi, and Ma Lin, who had a double harvest of love and career at that time, made many Chinese people envious.
It's just that people didn't expect that just a year later, the news that Ma Lin and his wife Zhang Ningyi announced their divorce due to emotional discord, and even the dispute between the two on the distribution of marital property once made a fuss in China.
Marlene's divorce dispute
For Ma Lin's relationship with Zhang Ningyi announced after winning the championship, the Chinese people at that time were surprised and delighted, after all, Ma Lin is an athlete who won glory for the country in the Olympic Games, and people certainly hoped that he could get his own happiness.
It's just that Ma Lin said in front of the camera at that time, "Thank you to my wife Zhang Ningyi for her support for me", so that the audience sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast did not react for a while.
Wife? When did this Marlene fall in love, everyone still doesn't know, he has already been married here?
With Ma Lin's own story, people learned that Ma Lin and Zhang Ningyi were actually not newlyweds, it turned out that they had secretly obtained a license and registered their marriage a few years ago.
Because Ma Lin is a professional athlete, in the Chinese national team, not to mention marriage, even the team members are explicitly prohibited from falling in love.
At the beginning, Ma Lin's relationship with Bai Yang in her table tennis team was also "beaten by the coach", a pair of lovers, was broken up abruptly, one remained in the national team, and the other was sent back to the provincial team.
Therefore, for Ma Lin's hand of "cutting first and then playing" and "darkness Chen Cang", people have also expressed their understanding, and at the same time, they also wish that this pair of "old husbands and wives" can get together for a hundred years and give birth to noble children early.
It's just that when people were still immersed in the double joy of Ma Lin winning the championship and marrying Ma Lin, the news of Ma Lin and Zhang Ningyi's divorce came the following year, and the two once had a lot of trouble because of the issue of property distribution.
The loving couple of the past turned against each other.
Only this time, people did not stand on Marlene's side as usual.
The cause of the dispute over the distribution of property between Ma Lin and Zhang Ningyi was that Ma Lin transferred most of the assets under her name in advance before the divorce of the two, so at the beginning, Zhang Ningyi could only share about one million of property.
Later, the two also went to court over this matter, and finally according to the court decision, Ma Lin gave Zhang Ningyi a villa worth millions, and millions of deposits, a total of 10 million, and the matter ended.
In addition to disputes over property distribution, there is another very important reason why people are on Zhang Ningyi's side in this incident.
When the two had a property dispute, Zhang Ningyi also accused Ma Lin of being intimate with another woman when the two were still husband and wife.
For what Zhang Ningyi said at that time, everyone still doubted it, after all, if it was to divide property, Zhang Ningyi might also say some untrue things.
It's just that a few years after Ma Lin divorced Zhang Ningyi, Ma Lin married the woman who had been close to Ma Lin mentioned by Zhang Ningyi, and Ma Lin's behavior undoubtedly confirmed what her ex-wife said at that time to a certain extent.
As for the real reason for Ma Lin and Zhang Ningyi's divorce, whether it was Ma Lin's empathy and parting, or the discord between the two as said to the outside world, people have no way of knowing.
But this divorce dispute had a big impact on Ma Lin's reputation, and as she got older, Ma Lin's status gradually declined, and she finally officially announced her retirement in 2013.
Transformational coaching to new heights
However, at that time, along with the news of Ma Lin's retirement, there was also the news that Ma Lin married his second wife Zhang Yaqing.
On December 8, 2013, the day after Ma Lin announced her retirement, Ma Lin and her second wife Zhang Yaqing held a wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beijing, and shortly after their marriage, Ma Lin announced that she officially transformed into a table tennis coach.
In 2016, Zhang Yaqing gave birth to a son for Ma Lin, and with the help of Zhang Yaqing, Ma Lin gradually came out of the shadow of the divorce dispute that year, and reached a new high on the road of coaching, achieving a series of achievements.
In 2021, Ma Lin's hand-trained disciple Chen Meng defeated her opponent 4-2 at the Tokyo Olympics and won the gold medal in women's singles.
On September 5 this year, that is, yesterday's Asian Table Tennis Championships women's team competition, the Chinese women's table tennis led by Ma Lin just swept the South Korean team with a 3-0 score and won the championship in one fell swoop.
But also this year, just as Ma Lin was preparing for the Asian Games, there was a small episode.
The reason is that some netizens saw on the second-hand website salted fish that Ma Lin won a gold medal at the 08 Beijing Olympics and was sold online, along with the relevant honorary certificate, but only the price was more than 1,000 yuan.
This makes many netizens unable to understand, the Olympic gold medal is a symbol of honor, how to resell it casually? It is also "sold at a low price" on the Internet in such a casual way, and Marlene has also been controversial.
It was only with the in-depth investigation of the incident that people learned that these gold medals were sold by the mother of Marlene's ex-wife, not Marlene herself.
At the beginning, Ma Lin divorced her ex-wife Zhang Ningyi and divided the house she lived in to Zhang Ningyi, and the medals and certificates that were placed at home at that time, Ma Lin did not have time to take them, and now people want to move, so they want to sell things that they can't use.
At this point, the truth of the matter was finally revealed, everyone misunderstood Marin, after all, it was the medal he won through his hard work, and he thought that Marlene would not sell it.
As a generation of national table tennis stars, Ma Lin not only won countless honors for the country during the service, but now transformed into a coach, after a period of precipitation, she is also more and more handy, whether it is arranging tactics or guiding team training, have received good results.
In the women's team competition of the Asian Table Tennis Championships, China vs Japan in the semifinals, after Chen Meng lost the first set, Ma Lin pulled Chen Meng and asked her to switch tactics, and finally Chen Meng won easily 3-1, and from Chen Meng's reversal, it is enough to see the strength of Ma Lin's coaching.
And as the head coach of the mainland women's table tennis national team, Ma Lin is also quite concerned about her own players, sometimes the players play on the field, Ma Lin is only on the field to fight, but the players on the field are nervous.
When the team members scored points, Marlene would clench her fists and shout cheers, but the team members did not perform well, and Marlene frowned and sighed loudly from time to time.
Seeing this, non-netizens ridiculed: "Coach Ma should do a good job of expression management!" ”
But it is precisely in this way that Marlene is deeply loved by the players, and sometimes they want to take a group photo after the game, and the players will deliberately vacate the C position in the middle for Marlene.
Watching the Chinese women's table tennis players closely surrounding Ma Lin, their faces were full of smiles, and many people were moved by the warmth in this team.
epilogue
When Ma Lin was an athlete, she won numerous honors for the country, and after retiring, she also continued to work hard to transform into a coach, using her previous rich experience to continue to shine in the field of table tennis and train talents for the country.
Maybe Ma Lin had a lot of emotional difficulties before, but fortunately, he still found his home now, and here I also wish Coach Ma can continue to work hard and lead Chinese women's table tennis to achieve another success!
