Lin Shidong is undoubtedly the future mainstay of the Chinese table tennis team, and he has shown great talent and a deep love for table tennis from an early age. Now, this teenager from Danzhou, Hainan Province has officially joined the national table tennis team, and under the careful guidance of the coaching team and the encouragement of his teammates, his skills have become more and more exquisite.
Although Lin Shidong is still in the emerging stage, he has already achieved remarkable results in many international competitions, and has repeatedly reached new highs. I firmly believe that with the help of head coach Liu Guoliang and other members of the national team, Lin Shidong will continue to improve himself, show endless fighting spirit on his beloved table tennis field, and write a new brilliant chapter for the cause of Chinese sports.
2. Memory: Lin Shidong recalled the first pair of table tennis rackets purchased by his parents when he was 4 years old, and has formed a deep friendship with table tennis since then
Lin Shidong recalled a warm scene when he was 4 years old, as if it was yesterday. That year, he begged his parents to buy him a pair of table tennis rackets, but at that time his parents did not grant his wish.
Seeing her son's look of loss, her mother Wang Haiyan was full of pity, and finally gave him a pair of table tennis rackets.
From the moment he had his first table tennis racket, Lin Shidong had an indissoluble bond with the sport. Following in his father's footsteps, he frequented various courts, admiring his father's wonderful skills while playing with the ball alone, and never tired of it.
It was from that time that table tennis gradually integrated into Lin Shidong's life, and also laid a solid foundation for him to embark on the road of table tennis players in the future.
Today, Lin Shidong has grown into a high-profile young star on the international stage, steadily climbing the world rankings and now reaching a career-high 69th ranking.
However, to trace his upbringing, we have to go back to when he was 11 years old.
In 2016, at the age of 11, Lin Shidong set a new record for the youngest player to compete in a national championship, demonstrating his outstanding talent and unlimited potential.
Since then, in one domestic and other domestic and foreign competitions, this young hero has repeatedly defeated his fierce opponents and won many honors and fruitful results.
Lin Shidong's dazzling achievements are due to the rigorous and rigorous guidance and training of the coaches. From the moment he stepped into the Nanyan Table Tennis Club, he gradually grew into a strong fighter under the harsh but enthusiastic guidance of head coach Guan Yan and the whipping of the coach.
After being transferred to the Hebei National Training Base, coach Li Meng gave him more rigorous training, and his training three times a day was never interrupted.
It is in such a harsh environment that Lin Shidong has been able to thrive and become more and more sophisticated. In 2020, with his outstanding performance, he was made an exception and was recruited by the national team and joined the national training team, competing fiercely with the main players such as idol Fan Zhendong.
In the same year, he won the men's singles championship of the National Youth Championship, and was subsequently selected for the second national table tennis team.
After entering the national second team, Lin Shidong's strength soared like a rocket. In 2021, he won the World Youth Championship and the Men's Team Championship, winning high praise and attention from the coaching staff.
In 2022, he began to dabble in more top-level competitions, achieving excellent results in the WTT Challenger Slovenia and the National Championships, becoming the first table tennis player in the history of Hainan Province to successfully advance to the national team.
In the latest world rankings, Lin Shidong soared to a new personal high of 69th, showing his growing strength. Coach Liu Guoliang has high hopes for this "little stone" and "little chubby", and even planned to give him the opportunity to compete with the Japanese king Tomokazu Zhangmoto, which is enough to prove that Lin Shidong has the strength of the world-class level.
We firmly believe that through unremitting efforts and tempering, Lin Shidong's future will be more brilliant!

For Lin Shidong, his father is not only his enlightenment mentor, but also a vital guide in his life journey. From an early age, his father led him to the court and patiently taught him how to play, which inspired his love for table tennis.
Lin Shidong still remembers vividly, when he was young and ignorant, his hometown Hainan was hit by wind and rain all year round. However, no matter whether it was a torrential rain or a torrential downpour, his father never stopped him from making his way to the training ground.
In the wind and rain, the father always silently guards his son's side, and interprets the deep love of being a father with practical actions.
Perhaps because of this, with the careful guidance and firm support of his father, Lin Shidong was able to regard table tennis as an important part of his life, and finally embarked on the glorious road of professional athletes.
