After serving, 21-year-old Fan Zhendong just started his table tennis "Long March", and this 4:1 reversal to defeat Sweden's Moregard drew a "golden" end to his Olympic debut!
Let's count, how many "firsts" did this kid get this time? Entered the Olympic table tennis men's singles final for the first time, won the Olympic table tennis men's singles gold medal for the first time, became the sixth men's singles gold medalist in the history of national table tennis, and the first post-80s Grand Slam gentleman!
Tut-tut, it's really a domineering climb to the top that "no one has ever come before"! At this time, it is estimated that many netizens will have their eyes shining and secretly rejoicing, right? Finally, there is no need to "look at the gold medal and sigh"!
So Comrade Xiaofan, you have given the Chinese people a long face abroad! The banner of Chinese table tennis will continue to be carried by your generation of newcomers! So the question is, how did you do it along the way?
This kid can do it, it really works! is only 21 years old to win the "Grand Slam", this speed may be comparable to Liu Guoliang! Not to mention the crazy record of 16 consecutive wins in the World Series, which is called a "fierce" word! People rely on real skills to "play", and there is no ambiguity at all.
Without so much nonsense, let's start with this competition. At the beginning, Moregard put a lot of pressure on Comrade Xiao Fan, but he immediately adjusted his state and played his own rhythm. In the face of the opponent chasing the score, he stabilized his position, seized the opportunity to score neatly, and won the game with a click! This kind of "steady, accurate, and ruthless" style of play is called a durable one!
This victory is of great significance to Fan Zhendong.
First of all, as the leader of national table tennis, he finally won the Olympic gold medal for the first time, filling the last piece of the puzzle in his career. This is the best reward for his years of hard work.
Secondly, he became the sixth men's singles gold medalist in the history of national table tennis, along with Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui and other predecessors, writing a new chapter in history. This is not only his personal honor, but also a continuation of the glorious history of Chinese table tennis.
Thirdly, he won all the matches against Moregaard, showing his strong mental quality and technical and tactical skills. This kind of domineering performance must have made many fans enjoy watching it!
Fourth, he helped the Chinese men's table tennis achieve five consecutive Olympic championships, which once again proved our dominance in the world table tennis arena.

Seeing this, are the fans so happy for him? The hot search list on the Internet is about to be contracted by him, accounting for 6 in a row! Everyone praised and applauded him, this "Xiao Fan fever" is really overwhelming!
In fact, in the final analysis, Comrade Xiaofan's success is by no means accidental. Since he was a child, he started "devilish" training, practicing for at least 10 hours a day, and even after winning the championship, he couldn't move. This spirit of "hard training" can be called the best portrayal of the "perpetual motion machine" of national table tennis.
Looking at his ideological quality, he has always put the interests of the country in the first place, and has always demanded himself according to the standard of a Communist Party member. At the Tokyo Olympics, he took the lead in putting forward the slogan of "go all out and win glory for the country", leaving behind his personal gains and losses. Isn't this awareness of the overall situation and dedication a model for the new generation of national table tennis people?
Of course, Comrade Xiaofan's success also depends on the healthy competition of his generation of young people.

They learn from each other, make progress together, and ultimately create extraordinary achievements in their respective fields.
