Congratulations, Sun Yingsha! Sasha looks carefree lying in socks, but the Olympic women's singles is actually stressful
Beijing time on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. Congratulations, congratulations Sasha! China's national table tennis officially announced today that Sun Yingsha will participate in the Paris Olympics as a women's singles. From the Tokyo cycle to the Paris cycle, it seems that 3 years have passed, but in fact, Sasha is still cute for you, and she has a sense of "pinching her face to kill" that is a little bit small, and she also has a "general demeanor" that is always mature and steady!
In the just-concluded Saudi Arabia Grand Slam competition, after the women's singles final, although she lost to Chen Meng, Sasha was in a good mood, took off her shoes, and lay on the chair with socks on, so carefree. You know, she is really only 23 years old, she is a little girl born in 2000, this age, she may just have just graduated from the university campus. However, she is already a veteran who has fought in 2 consecutive Olympic Games, and she is the main force to protect the Olympic gold medal!
After the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Chinese national table tennis began to further replace the old and the new, and at the beginning of 2017, Sun Yingsha entered the first team. During that time, Li Xiaoxia had just withdrawn from the national team, Ding Ning, Chen Meng, Liu Shiwen, Zhu Yuling and others were in good shape, and Sasha was still a "little one". In the spring of that year, at the Wuxi Asian Championships, Miu Hirano of Japan won the gold medal in women's singles. Among them, Sun Yingsha is the accompaniment responsible for simulating Miyu Hirano's playing style.
Also in 2017, it was inconceivable that Sasha, who was only 17 years old at the time, was able to enter the first team of national table tennis and "parachute" into the top ten in the world in one breath by relying on continuous excellent results! ——Last month, the Macau World Cup ended, the men's singles champion was Ma Long, and the women's singles champion was Sun Yingsha. Malone recalled: I now seem to be back to Sasha's "childhood". When I was a kid, it was in 2017 when I played the Japan Open with Sasha.
Yes, Sun Yingsha began to emerge in the 2017 competition, proved herself, and then, all the way, all the way. She's super steady, she's got a smooth and silky mentality, and her technical skills are improving every month, and her results are getting better and better. At the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, she can already take charge on her own. Even, at that time, the mixed doubles combination between her and Wang Chuqin was already very good. If it weren't for the personnel limitations, she wouldn't even rule out being able to play women's singles, women's teams, and mixed doubles.
In the just-concluded Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, Chen Meng said: I haven't tasted the women's singles championship for two consecutive years. Yes, yes, in the past two years, basically from the end of the Tokyo Olympics to the present, almost all the women's singles champions in various competitions have been won by Sun Yingsha and occasionally Wang Manyu. Sun Yingsha has a strong concentration in playing, and her comprehension of table tennis seems to have reached a very high level. And the game is very dedicated, taking every board, every game, every game seriously. That's why so many fans love Salsa these days!
At the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, South Korea in February this year, the Chinese women's team faced the Japanese women's team in the final. The pressure of the Chinese women's team is unprecedented, Sun Yingsha, who was waiting at this time, sat on the table, listening to Qiu Yike's tactical deployment, at that time, the commentator sighed: She is still a little girl - this scene is the same as Sasha lying on the chair with slippers recently.
Then, just pick up the racket and kill it on the table, and it will immediately be the "super invincible" national table tennis No. 1! Be able to turn the tide, be able to stabilize the situation, be able to grasp the weaknesses of the opponent, and make a decisive move!
The Paris Olympics are approaching, come on, Sasha.
