Recently, the two post-00s rising stars in the table tennis world - let's call them "Shatou" and "Fat Sha" - have become such an existence. As soon as the topic came out, it was like hitting a pebble into a quiet lake, and discussions inside and outside the circle came one after another, whether you were a hardcore table tennis fan or not, it seemed that you could find a place in this discussion.
Shatou fans, a huge number of them, are as enthusiastic as fire, and they cheer for every appearance of their idols. Fat Sha Powder, although not as numerous as the former, is equally loyal. Then there are the negative spectators who don't buy the discussion of the relationship between the two players, believing it to be just a confusing act.
After Fan Zhendong's Weibo statement, although the player himself has clarified the relationship within the team, the enthusiasm of fans has not diminished. The world of sports also seems to be influenced by the so-called "fan circle culture". Many fans began to imitate the way of the entertainment industry, not only focusing on the game, but also on the private lives of the players. This phenomenon may be a bit disappointing for fans who want to focus on sports itself.
In the past season, Sha Tou and Fat Sha have won several important medals for the national team together. Their tacit cooperation and personal ability in international competitions have been recognized by table tennis fans around the world. Their tacit understanding at the table is indeed enough to prove that they are a golden pair. Luo Xiang said, "You will understand that the right person will stand in your future." Their common goals and dreams make them constantly surpass themselves in the game, and it is the strength of their peers that makes them form a beautiful landscape on the court.
In the sports arena, the most touching thing is the exciting table tennis. Sha Tou and Fat Sha, both as individuals and as partners, have already shown their strength. Let's look forward to more wonderful performances from them in the future, instead of caring about the inconsequential details of their private lives. In every serve and smash they make, we can see their love for table tennis and their desire to win, which is the truest and most beautiful side of sports.
