Walking alone all the way and going to the meeting alone, Fan Zhendong defeated his opponent 4:1 and won the Olympic table tennis men's singles championship.
This gold medal is extremely heavy. First of all: this is the first men's singles championship in 24 years. The last time was at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, when Kong Linghui and Waldner were arguing.
At the same time, this gold medal also made him the third super slam player in the history of national table tennis after Deng Yaping and Ma Long.
In addition, the process of getting this gold medal is extremely tortuous, from the beginning of Fan Zhendong's fight against Zhang Benzhihe, the hearts of fans across the country followed the ups and downs, and it turned into a suspense drama and a turning drama......
It is undeniable that Tomokazu Zhang is a respectable and powerful opponent, and in this fight, Tomokazu Zhang is getting more and more excited and has a lot of momentum.
Fan Zhendong, who was holding his breath, equaled, fell behind, and then equaled. In the end, he defeated Tomokazu Zhangmoto.
Yesterday's decisive battle, lost the first game, fell behind 8-9 in the second game, and then flipped three times in a row; In the third game, he fell behind 7-8 and finally swept away in one go.
The audience's heart is up and down, and the pressure of those who are in the game is even more immeasurable.
The little fat who won the game first made a cross-handed gesture, which was the signature celebration of France star Mbappe. Next, he opened his arms to feel the carnival and enthusiasm of the scene, and the excitement led the applause of the audience.
Xiaopang won the championship and also contributed a lot of interesting hot spots. Let's take stock one by one and dilute all the difficulties when Chen Meng won the championship.
First, Xiaopang won the championship, and the most excited thing was the coach Wang Hao, who was also a teacher and friend, kissing and hugging on the spot.
Some fans joked that after Chubby won the championship, Wang Hao kept sneakily following him, looking for a chance to hold his big baby. However, Xiaopang always failed to understand Wang Hao's meaning, and let Brother Hao pounce on the air twice, which was really interesting.
Don't say I don't feel it, but I deliberately watched the video at the time, and it seems to be true!
The first time he wanted to hug, Wang Hao had already begun to bend over, and Xiaopang turned his head and walked to the referee to shake hands. When he was about to start the second time, Xiaopang went to shake hands with the opposing coach again, allowing Wang Hao to pounce again.
For the third time, Wang Hao couldn't wait, so he opened his arms directly, and finally hugged the "fat man". Hold up his own "gold medal" and take a sip at the big baby's brain.
According to official information, Xiaopang weighs 80 kilograms. Therefore, after the game, the topic of "Wang Hao jerking 80 kg" came into being on the Internet. Many people say, Wang Hao, you have the potential to be a weightlifter!
I have to say, Brother Hao, you have worked hard! Chubby, it's time for you to lose weight!
Speaking of Wang Hao, many fans will label him as a "tragic figure".
Wang Hao is a three-time men's singles runner-up at the 2004 Athens Olympics, the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics. The Olympic table tennis singles three consecutive Asians, which is not only unprecedented, but also likely to be unprecedented.
Especially in the final of the 2004 Athens Olympics, Wang Hao lost to Korea player Yoo Seungmin. This is also the only time in the past 20 years that the national table tennis has lost the men's singles championship in the Olympic Games. The regret and loss in Wang Hao's heart can be imagined.
Many years ago, Wang Hao said: "I can't win a gold medal, and others say that my apprentices can't win a gold medal either." "Chubby and I both have higher dreams to achieve together."
After so many years of hard work, it was a success in this Parisian arena.
Second, if you are not a loyal fan, you may not know that Fan Zhendong and Wang Hao are both from military backgrounds. And Fan Zhendong also has a layer of "first-class meritorious hero" aura.
Fan Zhendong, born in 1997, is originally from Qidong, Hunan. He was born in Guangdong because his father worked and settled in Guangdong after graduating from South China University of Technology.
The origin of his nickname "Little Fat" is not because of his current weight. But when he was young, he was chubby and lovable, and he was called "fat boy" in Cantonese. Fan Zhendong felt that this title was not good, so his family changed the name to "Little Fat".
When he was in elementary school, he joined the school's sports team, entered the sports school at the age of 9, competed in the Guangdong team at the age of 10, became a professional player at the age of 11, and entered the Bayi team.
In 2011, 14-year-old Fan Zhendong entered the national second team, and subsequently, due to his outstanding performance in the competition, he was selected to enter the national first team.
In October 2019, the Military Games were held in Wuhan, and 22-year-old Fan Zhendong participated in the event as an athlete and a soldier, and helped the Chinese team win the first table tennis gold medal in the history of the Military Games, and was awarded a first-class meritorious service.
At that time, Fan Zhendong was not fat, heroic, and had impressive achievements, and became the "dream son-in-law" in the minds of many mothers-in-law!
In 2020, with the military reform, the Bayi team was disbanded, and Fan Zhendong officially retired from the army and joined the Sichuan Changhong Club.
Wang Hao, born in 1983, entered the Bayi team at the age of 13. In 2009, Fan Zhendong, who had just been on the Bayi team for a year, took on the task of sparring for the National Games. The two got acquainted for the first time, and their relationship was teammate.
In 2014, after Wang Hao retired, he became the head coach of the Bayi team, and the two officially established a mentor-apprentice relationship.
For Chubby, Wang Hao loves him like a child. In his Weibo, in addition to his wife and children, Fan Zhendong appears the most. "I watched him grow up, first as a teammate and then as a head coach. Along the way, I've watched him grow. ”
Since the first meeting between the two in 2009, 5 years of teammates and 10 years of mentor and apprentice, the relationship between the two has long been as close as father and son!
Third, after Fan Zhendong won the championship, there was a sudden controversy about who was counted.
As mentioned earlier, Fan Zhendong was born in Guangdong, but his ancestral home is Hunan. Due to the busy work of his parents in Guangdong at the time, Xiaopang has been living with his grandparents in his hometown when he was a child.
When he reached school age, his parents took him to Guangdong. The rest of the story is described above.
After the disbandment of the Bayi Sports Team, it still had a great impact on many athletes, and Fan Zhendong also successively traveled to the Sichuan Changhong Club and the Guangdong Provincial Team, and finally officially joined the Shanghai team in 2022 because he was escorted to Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Therefore, after Fan Zhendong won the championship, three places suddenly began to compete for Fan Zhendong.
Shanghai sent a call back to congratulate Shanghai athlete Fan Zhendong on winning the championship. This time the Cantonese people stopped doing it, saying that Fan Zhendong is a Cantonese, born in Guangzhou and grew up in Guangzhou.
Then, Fan Zhendong's ancestral hometown of Hunan also stopped doing it, saying that Xiaopang's ancestral home is Qidong County, Hunan Province, and he was still a left-behind child when he was a child. Where is a person from, and is he not allowed to go with his hometown?
At the same time, after 21 o'clock last night, Guangzhou and Xinqiaotou Village, Qidong County, Hunan Province, both set off fireworks to celebrate the "local heroes" winning the championship.
This is really a difficult lawsuit! Therefore, some fans ridiculed that Fan Zhendong's identity has become the Jerusalem of table tennis. If he loses, there will be no one to fight for!
Jokes are jokes, it really doesn't matter where Fan Zhendong is from. Honor belongs to China, it's enough!
Fourth, Fan Zhendong won the championship, which unexpectedly exposed Zhang Jike's current situation.
Last night, after Fan Zhendong won the championship, Zhang Jike suddenly posted a Weibo: Congratulations to Fan Zhendong. This Weibo quickly appeared on the hot search.
Since Zhang Jike's reputation collapsed and he became a bad artist, he has been silent for more than a year. His last Weibo post was on March 12, 2023, and netizens almost forgot about him.
This time, everyone is curious, what is Zhang Jike beating now?
Some netizens broke the news that Zhang Jike is now a coach in a table tennis hall in Ningbo! The fee standard is very high, the tuition fee is 9,800 yuan per month, and only 30 places are enrolled.
In order to recruit students, Zhang Jike opened a short video account, posted a lot of teaching videos, and conducted live teaching!
In fact, Zhang Jike and Fan Zhendong have always had a good relationship, and before Zhang Jike collapsed, he also said: Xiaopang must be a grand slam in the future, and he will practice with me all day long, and he can't not be a grand slam.
Indeed, there is no need to repeat how good Zhang Jike was in the past. His all-time Grand Slam record has not been broken to this day. Now that he has been reduced from an Olympic champion to an ordinary stadium coach, it is no wonder that others are all his own.
I can only say: people have to go the right way!
Fifth, in the joy of victory, Yili also came to scold.
Chen Meng won the championship and was scolded for not being able to raise his head, and the suspicion of whether it was the capital behind the manipulation of the event has not been washed away. Fan Zhendong won the championship last night, and it is hot again.
The left sentence "relieved", and the other sentence "Do you know how I lived today", made netizens laugh angrily.
I really can't tell the difference between four and six! It seems that the scolding is still too light.
Not letting yourself become the target of public criticism is the top priority of a company's publicity. The premise of shaking the wit is to distinguish the occasion and figure out the current situation. In the case of a mistake that has already been made, especially if the mistake has not been completely turned over, it is best not to play in front of others.
It's really important to assess the situation.
If you are an affiliated company, it is best to choose to keep a low profile when you have to celebrate Fan Zhendong's victory. In the final analysis, enterprises should mingle with the public, not be mingled by the public.
Having said all this, congratulations to Fan Zhendong! I wish that in the days to come, he will continue to shine in the world of table tennis and win glory for the country.
At the same time, I also wish everyone who is chasing their dreams can: despite the hard work, blow all the sand to gold!
