August 3, 2024.
The Olympic women's table tennis singles came to an end in Paris.
Chinese star Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng met at the peak.
won the gold and silver medals, and continued to write the myth of the "hegemon" of women's table tennis in the international arena.
And when these two new Great Demon Kings ascended the altar.
The female table tennis seniors in the past also made surprise appearances on the sparring or commentary seats.
But after seeing their current state, countless viewers shouted "I dare not admit it".
Some people marry a good man, and they have changed from swearing words to a good wife and mother.
Someone grew long hair and changed from a tomboy to a white rich goddess.
There are also people who have become super-rich.
Today, let's take a look at the female table tennis kings who have "mutated" their mental outlook after retirement.
Let's see how much they can change before and after they retire.
Zhang Yining
When it comes to the super "big devil" of Chinese women's table tennis.
In addition to the first Deng Yaping, the most famous should be Zhang Yining.
As the only athlete in the history of Chinese women's table tennis who has completed the "Double Circle Grand Slam".
Zhang Yining can be said to be a tiger on the field.
As soon as you shake hands, you can know the powerful aura of winning and losing.
Japan's Ai Fukuhara who was beaten to tears.
and a number of relentless 11:0s.
all made Zhang Yining's name of the Iron Mask Demon King powerful all over the world.
It's not just foreign players who are afraid of her name.
Even the domestic seniors and coaches couldn't help but shake their heads when they mentioned Zhang Yining.
Because Zhang Yining is fast and sharp at the same time.
His speech and demeanor are also quite "uninhibited".
Especially in the arena of the competition.
Her mouth is just foul language that can't be broadcast.
Even because of this, she has always been considered by many fans and viewers not to be like a female player.
That's really "women don't let their eyebrows" from grades to style.
is such a cool and domineering "National Table Tennis Mulan".
But after retiring, he seemed to be a completely different person.
Especially this surprise appearance in the audience of the Olympic women's singles final.
It also made countless viewers call "amazing".
I saw that Zhang Yining, who has always shown himself with short hair and a tomboy, rarely permed his hair and made a hairstyle.
When facing the reporter's camera, there was no "murderousness" and "impatience" in his eyes.
On the contrary, the whole person has softened a lot.
Not only did he smile at the camera, but he also playfully raised his thumbs.
And the reason why Zhang Yining has changed so much.
and her happy family life is inseparable.
Since 2009, she married businessman Xu Wei.
The whole person's state has relaxed.
In the third year of marriage, the two had a lovely daughter.
Seven years later, she gave birth to a second child, with both children and daughters.
Zhang Yining, who has a child, has changed his domineering state on the field in the past.
Instantly incarnate as a "good mother".
She will personally organize the birthday party for the children.
It will also warm and comfort the child when she wants to practice table tennis but has mental baggage because of her grades.
It can only be said that no matter how domineering a woman is on the field, she will soften after becoming a mother.
This point is also vividly demonstrated in Wang Nan, another big demon king.
Wang Nan
If Zhang Yining is the only opponent in his career who is not completely sure that he can win.
That must be her last Great Demon King, Wang Nan.
Like Zhang Yining, Wang Nan is also known for his fierce style of play.
As a talented table tennis player, her temper is also quite short-tempered.
When I was a child, I even hit the ball in the face of the spectators because I was cheered by the spectators in the stands during the game.
After entering the national team, he did not change his "irritable" nature.
even dared to be angry with the then world champions Liu Wei and Qiao Yunping in public.
With a bad temper and a fierce style of play.
She became the first table tennis woman to win a Grand Slam at the 2003 World Table Tennis Championships.
But it is such a domineering female general.
It's like a different person after falling in love.
When she fell in love with her husband Guo Bin, Wang Nan had not yet retired.
Although she is a grumpy demon in the arena.
But Guo Bin has always treated her as a little girl.
Will give her 10,001 roses when she competes.
On the premise of knowing that his heart is not good, he will bring a quick-acting heart-saving pill to the scene to cheer for Wang Nan.
With Guo Bin's care.
Although Wang Nan's personality is still upright, his whole person is warm.
After moving to the business world with her husband, she is full of the intellectual atmosphere of a strong woman in the business world.
Only when teaching his son and daughter table tennis will he briefly show a serious look.
The appearance of the whole person is also beautiful.
It's a rebirth.
If Wang Nan and Zhang Yining's changes are more in temperament.
Then the next changes of these former "national table tennis women" can be said to be from the inside out.
It is no exaggeration to say that retirement is comparable to plastic surgery.
Ding Ning
First of all, Ding Ning, who appeared in the audience of the Olympics with Zhang Yining this time.
At first glance at the photo of the Olympic scene.
Ding Ning doesn't seem to have changed much except for his long hair.
can be followed by the outflow of Ding Ning's life photos.
Many viewers bluntly said that Ding Ning did become beautiful after retiring.
In the past, Ding Ning was a "tomboy" born in a sports family.
His father was a speed skater and his mother specialized in basketball.
Ding Ning, who grew up in such a family, has always had neat short hair since he was a child.
But after retiring, he entered Peking University, and Ding Ning, who had long hair, was completely like a different person.
Especially her pink suit at a fashion event.
even made her whole woman's femininity overflow the screen.
Paired with a well-designed red lip.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a professional model.
Even the airport outfit in private.
It is also difficult to hide the intellectual aura.
Although now she has basically lost the sharpness she had when she was an athlete.
But this kind of dress and aura complement her current identity as a teacher at Peking University.
Guo Yue
Although Ding Ning has changed a lot, it is reflected in the clothes and makeup.
The state of her face and appearance have not changed much.
It can also be an athlete who keeps short hair for a long time and grows long hair after retirement.
Guo Yue's current state is comparable to a change of head.
The former Guo Yue was a woman who defeated Zhang Yining 3:0.
It is also an officially certified female table tennis player with male characteristics.
Stubborn personality and refusal to admit defeat.
The appearance is also quite masculine.
But since she retired, the whole person has changed.
Not only did she go to Tsinghua University for a master's degree, but she also taught herself English and dance.
Even the way they dress is becoming more and more feminine.
Well-groomed hair, delicate makeup.
Pair it with a trendy outfit and influencer filter.
Guo Yue no longer looks like an athlete.
More like a female star or host.
In 2015, Guo Yue announced that he would leave table tennis and move to the financial field.
After graduating with a master's degree, he got an offer from a banking regulatory agency and successfully changed careers.
However, she did not completely cut ties with table tennis after changing careers.
On the contrary, he often continues to promote table tennis in variety shows and offline activities.
will also cheer for the national table tennis team before the start of each competition.
Although his appearance has changed, his love for table tennis and the patriotic table tennis team has never changed.
Li Xiaoxia
When it comes to retirement, it is like a female table tennis player who has changed her head.
Guo Yue is counted as one, and Li Xiaoxia, the fourth Grand Slam winner of women's table tennis, must also be on the list.
Although Li Xiaoxia's own strength is not bad.
But because she was in the team when she was in the reign of Zhang Yining and Wang Nan, Ding Ning and Guo Yue were emerging.
So Li Xiaoxia has always lived in the shadow of these people.
Until 2007, Li Xiaoxia defeated Wang Nan at the Qatar Open.
This is the only way to spell out a "blood road" among the big demon kings.
Later, he and Guo Yue "killed the Quartet" in the women's doubles event.
In 2012, Li Xiaoxia led the team to the Rio Olympics.
and defeated Ding Ning in the final, becoming the fifth Olympic women's singles champion in the history of Chinese women's table tennis.
In 2013, Li Xiaoxia defeated Chen Meng, who was still a teenager at the National Games.
won the title of women's table tennis Grand Slam.
Same as Guo Yue.
Li Xiaoxia's style of play is also quite masculine.
The usual dress is also unkempt.
The classic pot lid is also the deepest impression she left on everyone.
But the jade necklaces and bracelets that she almost never leaves reveal the fact that she is actually a girl who loves beauty.
Since announcing his retirement in 2017.
Li Xiaoxia changed the sports style of the past.
I grew my long hair, wore a skirt, and put on makeup.
The official announced his retirement for more than half a year, and he and his boyfriend Zhai Yiming, who is also a table tennis player, received the certificate.
After three years of marriage, they hugged each other and had two lovely daughters.
When she reappears in front of the audience.
has long faded away from the appearance of being on the field, and has become a good wife and mother full of tenderness.
Her daily routine has also changed from table tennis to drying her daughter, partying, and doing public welfare.
I've seen quite a lot of happiness from bit by bit.
Today's Li Xiaoxia has even changed her face under the nourishment of her family.
It can only be said that there is a certain scientific basis for the birth of each other.
I hope that she who once fought for the country can continue to be so happy.
epilogue
It is said that everyone has a love for beauty, and women are those who please themselves.
This sentence is no exception for athletes.
On the field, they are women who do not lose to men.
But in private, they are also women who need to be cared for.
Watching them all live the life they want after retiring.
Even one is prettier and more easy-going than the other.
I believe that the fans who have cheered for them and worried for them can finally rest assured!
