On the evening of August 3, Beijing time, the table tennis competition of the Paris Olympics staged the ultimate battle. As a result, defending champion Chen Meng defeated her old opponent Sun Yingsha 6-2 at the Tokyo Olympics and successfully defended her title. Chen Meng also became the fourth person to win the singles gold medal in the Olympic arena after Deng Yaping, Zhang Yining, and Ma Long. It is worth noting that after Chen Meng won the championship, CCTV cameras captured that 4 people did not look excited.
The first is Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association. Since it was a match between two Chinese players, Liu Guoliang was very relaxed in the stands throughout the match and appeared very stable. After Chen Meng won the last ball, Liu Guoliang had a serious expression and did not celebrate too much, but just stood up and silently presided over Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha in the field to celebrate.
The second is Chen Meng's mentor Ma Lin. As the head coach of the women's team, Ma Lin is usually in charge of Chen Meng's training, and the relationship between master and apprentice is very good. After Chen Meng defeated Shen Yubin in the semifinals, Ma Lin cried with emotion. But after defeating Sun Yingsha in the final to defend her title, Ma Lin, who witnessed her lover win the championship, was very calm and did not have any exaggerated celebrations.
The third is Zhang Yining and Ding Ning, famous names in the table tennis world. In this women's singles final, CCTV cameras repeatedly showed Zhang Yining and Ding Ning sitting in the stands, both of whom had won the Olympic women's singles championship. From beginning to end, the two were watching calmly, occasionally exchanging ideas, and sometimes taking out their phones to take pictures. After Chen Meng won the championship, the two of them also had stable expressions, even a little dignified, without any celebration.
The above four people are all closely related to national table tennis and are inseparable table tennis celebrities. Whether Chen Meng defends the title or Sun Yingsha wins the championship, it is a victory for national table tennis and a happy event for Chinese table tennis. The reason why the four are so calm, Lao Gao believes that the fundamental reason is to feel sorry for Sun Yingsha, after all, this is the second time that Sasha has lost in the Olympic final.
In addition, in terms of age, Chen Meng is 30 years old and is about to pass his peak. And Sun Yingsha is only 24 years old and represents the future of Chinese table tennis. Sun Yingsha did not win the championship, which made the four table tennis celebrities worry about the future. Four years later, at the Los Angeles Olympics, who will carry the banner of Chinese women's table tennis is a question that Liu Guoliang, Ma Lin, Zhang Yining, and Ding Ning are more concerned about.
