In 2023, for Sun Yingsha of the Chinese table tennis team, it is destined to be a year full of glory and brilliance. The award for the World's Female Athlete of the Year was voted on by 405 sports journalists from around the world. Among the 31 female athletes selected, only Sun Yingsha is a Chinese player. She beat the equally outstanding diving genius Quan Hongchan to the list, and conquered the hearts of the global sports media with her outstanding performance in the past year.
It is worth mentioning that Quan Hongchan has also achieved outstanding results in the past year, and her teammate Chen Yuxi basically won the 10-meter platform double diving championship in all world-class events throughout the year. Unfortunately, her form in the individual event was up and down, and she was runner-up several times, which is why she was not selected as the World Sportswoman of the Year.
Sun Yingsha's road to the championship in 2023 is like a brilliant picture, and the first node to set sail is in January 2023, when she won the world No. 1 in women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. Behind this achievement is the hard work and sweat she has put in countless competitions.
In March 2023, Sun Yingsha achieved a Grand Slam at WTT Singapore, not only winning the women's singles championship, but also the women's doubles and mixed doubles. Then, at the Xinxiang Station of the World Table Tennis Professional League Championship in April, Sun Yingsha once again proved her strength, defeating Wang Yidi 4-1 and winning the women's singles championship.
At the World Table Tennis Championships in May, Sun Yingsha ushered in a more glorious moment. In the women's singles final, she defeated Chen Meng 4-2 to add another item to her championship list. In the mixed doubles, she and her partner defeated Japan's Tomokazu Haramoto and Hina Hayada 3-0 in the final to reach the championship podium again.
At the WTT Star Challenge Ljubljana in July, Sun Yingsha once again showed her domineering. In the women's singles final, she defeated Chen Meng 4-3, adding another title to her championship record. Every game is a tenacious struggle of the opponent and a testimony to her unremitting efforts.
From September to October 2023, the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou will become a continuation of Sun Yingsha's glorious history. In the women's singles final, she defeated Hina Hayada 4-1 to win the gold medal. In the women's team final, the Chinese women's team swept the Japanese women's team 3-0 and won a gold again. In the mixed doubles, she joined hands with Lin Gaoyuan to defeat her opponent 4-1 and finish on the podium again.
At the WTT Star Challenge in Lanzhou in October, Sun Yingsha once again showed her desire for the title. In the women's singles competition, she defeated Chen Meng 4-0 again, adding another piece to her championship record.
And the year-end finals have become Sun Yingsha's gorgeous curtain call in 2023. In the WTT Women's Finals, Sun Yingsha once again defeated Wang Yidi 4-2 in the women's singles match, adding icing on the cake for herself and ending perfectly.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of 2023, Sun Yingsha successfully won the women's singles year-end world No. 1 throne. The title of double champion is a well-deserved honor for Sun Yingsha. 2023 can be said to be the "Year of Sun Yingsha" in table tennis!

Every time she performs well, she declares war on her opponents again and again, and surpasses herself again and again.
