Hey, when it comes to Olympic table tennis, our most common picture is the moment when the players are struggling on the table tennis table and sweating like rain.
However, this "milk and grandson showdown" is simply laughable, the 38-year-old veteran and the 19-year-old rookie compete on the same stage, and the age gap is so big that people want to ask: "Is this playing table tennis or staging a cross-era family drama?" ”
Imagine that the veteran is like the kind of patient elder who always has an aura of "I have seen strong winds and waves"; And the rookie is like a little fresh meat who has just debuted, full of youth and energy.
You let these two generations "fight" on the table tennis table, as if it was a realistic version of "Journey to the West", and the grandmother-level players tried their best to fight against the "monkey kung fu" of the little grandson-level players.
It really makes people feel that table tennis is sometimes not only a sport, but also a battle of wits and courage between generations.
Sun Yingsha was also full of respect before the game, calling Ni Xialian her role model and looking forward to learning more from her.
You see, this pair of players with such a big age gap have found a common language and enthusiasm on the small table tennis table, which is really touching and makes people want to cry!
At the beginning of the first game, Wang Chuqin showed his absolute domineering demeanor.
Every shot is like dancing a gorgeous dance step on the stage, not only hitting the ball, but also hitting the opponent's morale.
Although the Slovakia player tried his best, he was obviously a little unable to parry in the face of Wang Chuqin's "whirlwind" offensive.
Wang Chuqin's serve and return every time was so accurate that it seemed to have been calculated, which made people wonder if he had used a little magic.
Ni Xialian, the 61-year-old table tennis legend, is really the best representative of "old and strong".
She used to be the core player of the Chinese table tennis team before immigrating to Luxembourg.
Despite her age, her love for table tennis remains the same.
She plans to play until she retires at the age of 65, and such perseverance and enthusiasm are simply "the iron man of table tennis"!
But even in the face of these difficulties, we still have to maintain hope and support for table tennis.
After all, table tennis is not only a sport, but also a spiritual and cultural inheritance.
It has countless enthusiasts and fans around the world, and this deep emotional bond is enough to convince us that the future of table tennis is still full of endless possibilities.
The excitement of this game lies not only in Wang Chuqin's technique, but also in his psychological quality.
In the second game, he continued to maintain a solid form and completely controlled the rhythm of the match.
Even though the Slovakia launched several counter-attacks in the middle to try to turn the tide, Wang's performance was truly amazing.
His precise shots seem to have predicted the opponent's every move, and each ball seems to pave the way for himself, laying a solid foundation for the rest of the game.
It is hoped that in the future, the table tennis arena will not only continue to maintain the excitement of the competition, but also gain more attention and support around the world.
Let's continue to follow and love this sport, and look forward to it continuing to shine on the Olympic stage and bringing us more wonderful moments.
Whether it is the momentum of young players or the experience of veterans, they will become valuable assets on the way forward in table tennis.
