On July 31, Beijing time, at the Olympic table tennis women's singles round of 16, Sun Yingsha and 61-year-old Luxembourg Chinese player Ni Xialian had a fierce battle, and finally Sun Yingsha successfully advanced to the top 8 with a score of 4-0.
This seemingly unsuspenseful game hides many attention-grabbing details behind it!
Walking into the arena, Sun Yingsha, a post-00s star known as the "Little Demon King", has an aura that cannot be ignored.
In the face of opponents who are nearly half a century older than herself, she has no fear or reservation, and every swing is full of strength and determination.
The numbers on the scoreboard jumped quickly, 4-0, which was not only a victory in a game, but also the best proof of Sun Yingsha's strength and potential.
After the game, she couldn't hide her excitement, bluntly said that she enjoyed the process of the game, and learned valuable sportsmanship from Aunt Ni - "No matter how much you fall behind, don't give up easily, and fight for every point."
This sentence is not only a tribute to Ni Xialian, but also a true portrayal of Sun Yingsha's own competitive attitude.
On the other hand, 61-year-old Ni Xialian, the "myth of immortality" in the table tennis world, although she failed to move forward, her every swing and every save was moving.
The years may have left traces on her face, but they have never weakened her love and dedication to table tennis.
Before the match, when she learned that she had the opportunity to serve as a sparring partner for Sun Yingsha, who was about to compete with her for a singles spot, she agreed without hesitation.
This mutual assistance and respect across age boundaries is not only a love for table tennis, but also a support and encouragement for younger generations.
Just like those senior athletes who are silently dedicated on the badminton court, Ni Xialian interprets the weight of the word "inheritance" with her own actions.
However, in addition to the joy of victory, a discussion about Sun Yingsha's post-match behavior also quietly emerged on the Internet.
Some netizens believe that as a junior, Sun Yingsha failed to give Ni Xialian enough respect and greetings after the game, and seemed a little "indifferent".
They proposed that a hug and a greeting might make this duel more complete, and also make Aunt Ni feel more warmth and recognition.
On the other hand, it is the duty of an athlete to go all out in the game, and Sun Yingsha's unstable mood after the game may be a reflection of her dedication to the game, and should not be overly harsh.
This kind of controversy actually reflects the public's diverse understanding of athletes' code of conduct and different interpretations of sportsmanship.
In this turmoil, what we should see more is the mutual respect and appreciation between athletes that transcends victory and defeat.
What Sun Yingsha learned from Ni Xialian is not only the improvement of skills and tactics, but also the persistence and love for table tennis.
And Ni Xialian's selfless help to Sun Yingsha shows the care and expectation of the older generation of athletes for the younger generation.
This kind of interaction not only enriches the connotation of the game, but also allows the sportsmanship to be more widely disseminated and inherited on the field.
On social media, the discussion about whether Sun Yingsha should take the initiative to communicate with Ni Xialian after the game actually touched on an important aspect of sportsmanship – respect.
Respect is not only a recognition of victory, but also an affirmation of the opponent's hard work and dedication.
Although the two are rivals on the court, they jointly promote the development of table tennis off the court, and mutual respect and understanding are an important force to promote the inheritance of sportsmanship.
We might as well think about it from another angle, maybe Sun Yingsha's "silence" is not indifference, but immersion in thinking and self-reflection after the game.
After all, for a young athlete, every game is a valuable opportunity to grow, and the post-game precipitation is just as important as the summary.
As a senior, Ni Xialian's tolerance and generosity added a bit of warmth and respect to this game.
Ni Xialian's selfless help is not only a personal support for Sun Yingsha, but also a contribution to the entire table tennis career.
In the world of sports, such stories abound.
The older generation of athletes uses their experience and wisdom to pave the way for younger athletes and help them grow faster.
The transmission of this spirit not only promotes the improvement of individual skills, but also enhances the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the whole team.
When we see Sun Yingsha struggling the field, we might as well think of those seniors who silently support her behind the scenes.
It is with such inheritance and relay that China's table tennis career can stand tall on the world stage and continue to create brilliance.
The heated discussion on the Internet caused by this incident also shows us the power of online public opinion.
In this era of information explosion, the Internet has become an important platform for the public to express their opinions and exchange views.
However, how to guide online public opinion towards a positive and rational direction has become a common challenge for us.
For the battle between Sun Yingsha and Ni Xialian, we should pay more attention to the sportsmanship and personality charm shown by the athletes themselves, rather than being too entangled in some details.
Through rational thinking and positive guidance, we can make the Internet an important front for spreading positive energy and promoting sportsmanship.
Looking back on this table tennis match full of controversy and warmth, it is not difficult for us to find that the power of sportsmanship is infinite.
It can not only stimulate the potential and fighting spirit of athletes, but also unite people's hearts and transmit positive energy.
In the days to come, let us go hand in hand and work together to contribute to the development of sports.
Whether it is a rising star like Sun Yingsha or a veteran like Ni Xialian, they are all inheritors and practitioners of sportsmanship.
Let us look at their every choice and every move with a more tolerant and understanding attitude.
At the same time, let us also work together to create a healthier, more positive and upward online public opinion environment, and inject more positive energy and vitality into the development of sports.
In the days to come, whether it is a rising star like Sun Yingsha or a veteran like Ni Xialian, they will continue to shine in their respective fields, and use their sweat and hard work to write their own sports legends.
And we, as witnesses and participants, should cherish every encounter and companionship, and jointly protect this love and dedication to sports.
