As a fan, it's really hard for you not to like Sasha.
The 2023 table tennis finals are over, and Sun Yingsha has become the biggest winner of the competition. Sasha won two gold medals in women's singles and women's doubles to bring her 2023 season to a successful end. Sun Yingsha's 2023 is too perfect. At the Singapore Grand Slam in March, she won the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles, which was also the first "triple crown" in the history of the WTT Grand Slam.
At the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban in May, the women's singles and mixed doubles champion, Sun Yingsha also became the first post-00 singles champion. The mixed doubles champion in Zagreb in July was also the mixed doubles and women's singles champion in Ljubljana in July.
Champion of the women's team at the Pyeongchang Asian Championships in September. Women's singles, mixed doubles and women's team champions at the Hangzhou Asian Games, team champions at the Mixed Team World Cup in December, and women's singles and women's doubles champions at the Nagoya Finals.
It can be said that Sasha has won almost all the honors of the important events in 2023, and is worthy of the name of the world's first person in the world women's table tennis.
Even in the national table tennis where there are many masters, Sun Yingsha is also the only one, and the latest Olympic points show that Sun Yingsha has more than 10,000 points more than Chen Meng, who ranks second, which fully shows that Sun Yingsha has locked in the qualification for the Paris Olympics in advance.
In fact, you don't need to look at the Olympic points, with Sasha's strength in women's singles and mixed doubles, if she goes to the Paris Olympics, I believe no one will object, because she is too strong.
After successfully completing the task of the 2023 season, at 8:30 a.m. on December 18, Sasha posted a rare post on social platforms, and he expressed four thanks:
The first thanks is to partner Wang Manyu, "Seafood Sisters" was originally the first day of the women's doubles, but since the Durban World Table Tennis Championships upset lost to the Korean combination, the "Seafood Sisters" was dismantled by the coaching staff, and then the national table tennis women's team made a number of combination attempts, but objectively speaking, no matter which pair of combinations can not reach the tacit understanding between the "Seafood Sisters", this time in the finals, the "Seafood Sisters" returned again and won the championship.
Sasha's second thanks is the coaches, Sasha has experienced a long period of free-range breeding before, and many coaches of national table tennis take turns to guide him, which is equivalent to eating "100 family meals", and later Qiu Yike became Sasha's head coach, after the master and apprentice duo partnered, Sasha's results became more and more stable, and the personalities of Qiu Coach and Sasha were also very compatible, and the two often talked and laughed in the video, and the master-apprentice relationship was deep.
Sasha's third thank you is the help of the national table tennis family. Sasha's achievements today are indeed inseparable from the help of the national table tennis collective, and this kind of care cannot be given to athletes by any other association. Including Liu Guoliang, the head of the national table tennis, Li Falcon, the head coach, Ma Lin, the coach of the women's team, and all the players of the national table tennis, all regard Sasha as a group pet. Friends who often watch the broadcast will see that when an athlete is playing on the field, other athletes and coaches are cheering on the field, and the atmosphere is very united and friendly.
Sasha, who grew up in such an environment, is very good in terms of team consciousness and personal accomplishment.
Of course, Sasha's fourth thanks should be given to the fans, in the national table tennis, if Sun Yingsha has the second largest number of fans, then basically no one dares to say the first. Sasha has come to this height, and the support of the fans is of course inseparable, and every time the national table tennis competition is held, the voices cheering for Sun Yingsha are also the most. Because of the support of fans, Sun Yingsha also won the Most Popular Athlete of the Year Award issued by a platform.
After saying four thanks, Sun Yingsha also said that 2023 has ended perfectly, and everything started from scratch after getting off the podium. The 23-year-old Sasha is becoming more and more like a general, and she has achieved such a brilliant record without forgetting to be humble and low-key, which emphasizes the six words "everything starts from scratch", which pierces the heart, expressing Sasha's indifference to the result of the game.
2024 is about to be an Olympic year, and I look forward to the Paris Olympics where Sasha's dream can come true as soon as possible.
