The "generation gap" on the table tennis table: 60-year-old veteran vs 20-year-old player, who is more "superior"?
Seeing this news, a picture immediately appeared in my mind: a 60-year-old "table tennis grandmother" Ni Xialian, with gray hair, reading glasses, holding a long rubber paddle, stood opposite Sun Yingsha, a rising star in her early 20s, wearing a ponytail, and her eyes flashed with youthful light. This "generation gap showdown" spanning 40 years makes people's blood boil just by imagining!
To be honest, seeing this age difference, my first reaction was: Isn't this filming "Table Tennis Grandma 2"? The 60-year-old veteran can still play in the Olympics, is this going to stage a live-action version of "Jiang is still old and spicy"? But when you think about it, the fact that this veteran can still stand on the Olympic stage in his sixtieth year is a remarkable achievement in itself. Not to mention playing, I estimate that at the age of 60, if you can brush your teeth without supporting the wall, you will be considered a winner in life.
However, in the face of Sun Yingsha, a talented girl in national table tennis, this "table tennis grandma" is obviously still inferior in skills. 11-5, 11-1, 13-11, 11-4, Sun Yingsha swept her opponent with a score of 4-0. Seeing this score, I couldn't help but sigh: What kind of ball is this, this is obviously counting! 1, 2, 3, 4, counting is called a neat one.
But then again, Ni Xialian's ability to enter the Olympics at the age of 60 has already made history. She tells us with practical actions: there is no limit to life, and dreams are always young. This "table tennis grandma" wrote her own legend with a racket and deserves the respect of all of us.
Let's talk about our "little padded jacket" Sun Yingsha. This girl is simply the reassuring pill of national table tennis! Whether the opponent is 60 or 16 years old, she can win the match safely. Looking at her heroic posture in front of the table, I seemed to see Deng Yaping and Wang Nan back then. It seems that the future of national table tennis will be relieved to have her.
However, while cheering for Sun Yingsha, we can't forget another national table tennis athlete - Wang Chuqin. The lad lost 2-4 in the men's singles match and unfortunately went out. Seeing this result, many fans must be like me, and their hearts are tight: Is this going to stage the "worst Olympics"?
However, Wang Chuqin's performance is still gratifying. After losing the game, he did not shake the pot and make excuses, but calmly summarized the reasons for the loss. This attitude is more admirable than winning the game. After all, people who can learn the lessons of failure can go further.
Speaking of which, I have to mention Fan Zhendong, who is now the only seedling in national table tennis singles. Brother, the hope of the whole village is pinned on you! But then again, Fan Zhendong, you have to hold on! If you lose again, it will really be the "worst Olympics". At that time, I am afraid that even the head coach of national table tennis Liu Guoliang will have to put on a uniform and go on the court.
Looking back on this Olympic table tennis competition, people can't help but feel a lot of emotion. A 60-year-old veteran is still fighting for his dreams, and a 20-year-old girl is already proud of the crowd, isn't this the best interpretation of sportsmanship? Win or lose, they are heroes worthy of our respect.
Finally, I want to say that whether it is Sun Yingsha's big victory or Wang Chuqin's loss, it is just a moment in table tennis. The real victory does not lie in the momentary gains and losses, but in the spirit of never giving up. As the old saying goes, "Failure is the mother of success". I believe that after the baptism of this Olympic Games, our national table tennis athletes will definitely become stronger.
Let's look forward to the next competition, the national table tennis athletes can create more brilliance and win more honors for the motherland! Come on, national table tennis! We will always support you!
At this moment, I don't know if you are also sweating for the national table tennis athletes?
