There is another pair of "fairy couples" in our table tennis world, and it is an international version!
Anyway, recently, WTT World Champion Alex Lebrun has made a lot of noise. This 21-year-old French guy actually proposed to his 24-year-old Asian girlfriend Melody! Tut-tut, this operation is really surprising!
My first reaction when I heard the news was: ", did this baby take the wrong medicine?" You want to be someone else's husband when you're only 21 years old? "But when I saw Melody's picture, I immediately understood. This girl is tall and tall, her appearance is online, she is simply a walking stunner in the world! No wonder the young man couldn't hold it and wanted to marry someone home immediately.
But wait, the story isn't over yet! And guess what? Alex's younger brother F Lebrun also exposed a "love history" at this time. This 18-year-old little fresh meat actually has a soft spot for Tian Yi, the first beauty queen of our Chinese national table tennis! Oh mom, are the Lebrun brothers planning to form an "Asian Beauty Support Association"?
Speaking of this, I can't help but think of the situation in our national table tennis. Some time ago, the scandal between Liang Jingkun and his teammates was in an uproar, and in the end, his wife came out to shout, and this buddy can be regarded as a prodigal son. Let's talk about the two pairs of CPs "Dream Tou" and "Sha Tou", fans are playing hot on the Internet every day, but the parties and the Table Tennis Association do not disclose any rumors. Isn't this kind of subtlety very much in line with our Chinese character?
But then again, the national table tennis side is not completely without a public relationship. Do you remember Xu Xin and Yao Yan? Although they waited for Yao Yan to withdraw from the national table tennis before making it public, there was a result, right?
Speaking of which, a question suddenly occurred to me: Why are we Chinese athletes always secretive when they fall in love, but foreign athletes can be so high-profile?
I pondered, maybe it's because we Chinese are more reserved in our bones. In addition, athletes represent the image of the country, and their every move is closely watched, so they are more cautious when it comes to emotional issues. On the foreign side, athletes are more like individuals, and no one seems to care about their private lives.
However, with the popularity of social media, this difference is likely to shrink over time. You look at Liang Jingkun's marriage crisis, isn't it just a stir on Weibo? Although in the end it was the "prodigal son" who turned back, this trend of openness has become irreversible.
To be honest, athletes are also ordinary people and have the right to pursue love. However, balancing personal life and career development can be a real challenge. Just like F Lebrun's unrequited love for Wang Tianyi, although romantic, in the current environment, I am afraid it is destined to be fruitless. After all, Wang Tianyi is estimated to only have table tennis in his eyes now, how can he have time to fall in love?
So the question is, what will the sports world of the future become? I think that there may be a gradual move towards the West, but it will not be completely Westernized. Athlete romances will be more public, but will still be subject to a certain degree of management and constraint. After all, in this era of information explosion, it is impossible to hide completely, it is better to learn how to show your private life reasonably.
In closing, I would like to say that whether it is Alex's high-profile marriage proposal or F Lebrun's crush, it gives us a glimpse of the athletes' fresh side. They are not only champions on the field, but also ordinary people with flesh and blood. Therefore, while we pay attention to their achievements, we should also respect their private lives and give them some space to love freely.
Well, that's all for today's melon. Do you think athletes should be open about their relationships? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area! See you next time!
