The Macau World Cup is still in full swing, and the 36-year-old veteran Ma Long has entered the semi-finals ahead of schedule and is still writing a new legend. Whether Malone can win his third round of the Grand Slam will be a big focus.
Marlon Historical Achievements
The 36-year-old captain of the national table tennis men's singles team, Ma Long (captainlong), is the first and only super slam player in the history of table tennis who has won the Olympic Games, the World Cup, the World Championships, the Asian Games, the Asian Cup, the Asian Championships, the ITTF Finals, the National Games, and the National Championships! He has won a total of 150 major championships, including 98 world-class championships, and is called the GOAT (the best in history) by the ITTF.
Ma Long was promoted to the national second team at the age of 14, and immediately promoted to the national first team at the age of 15, and had already defeated Liu Guozheng, Wang Hao, Wang Liqin and other world champions in a row that year.
Let's first review and analyze Ma Long's historical achievements. Since the number of silver and bronze medals won by Ma Long is too small to be worth mentioning, we will only list the number of gold medals and analyze Ma Long's future later.
3 Major Championships - 29 (Grand Slam tournaments)
Ma Long won a total of 29 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 6 bronze medals in the Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup, which is the only existence in the world and the only double Grand Slam winner in history
Ma Long won a total of 5 Olympic gold medals, becoming the athlete with the most gold medals in the history of world table tennis. The Olympic men's singles 3 consecutive coherent, unprecedented, no one in 12 years.
Ma Long won a total of 14 gold medals at the World Championships, including three consecutive singles championships at the World Championships in 2015, 2017 and 2019, becoming the third consecutive winner of the World Championships in table tennis.
Ma Long won a total of 10 World Cup gold medals, becoming the person who won the most championships in the history of table tennis men's singles.
The picture below is compiled by Musou Sports of Ma Long's championship record in the three major competitions, which can be collected.
Other world-class champions - 69

National Champion - 22 Brothers
In addition to the competition, Ma Long has also won 22 other championships, of which the National Championships and the National Games are national-level events, but they are no less difficult than the three major competitions. The picture below is the championship record of Ma Long in other domestic competitions compiled by Wushuang Sports, which can be collected.
Future Analysis
Malone started playing at the age of 5 and has been playing for 31 years now. This year is the Olympic year, and Ma Long is also responsible for winning honor for the country, and at the same time, as the captain of the national team, he also plays the role of passing and helping.
For all national table tennis players, the importance of the Olympic Games is far greater than that of any other event, so the pressure of the Olympic Games is also the greatest. It is not only about the honor of the country, but also for the national table tennis players, if they win the Olympic championship, their personal influence and material rewards are also great.
The Olympic Games are only once every four years, and some outstanding athletes have been in the national team for more than ten years, but they still have no chance to participate. The pressure of the Olympics is especially in need of a veteran. And Malone is the one who is most worthy of trust. I believe that for the 36-year-old Ma Long, the Paris Olympics may be the last Olympic Games to participate as a player, and I look forward to Ma Long being able to win the Olympic men's singles championship again and create a new historical record again to inspire those who come after him.
In the future, after Ma Long retires, I look forward to him staying in the national team as a coach, and I believe that Ma Long will become one of the best national table tennis head coaches, come on the Dragon team.
Ma Long has created a miracle in the table tennis world, no one has ever done it before, is it certain, is there no one who will come after? At least in 12 years, no one will be able to surpass it, and what will be left to the world may only be the back.
