Sun Yingsha, the "little devil" of the Chinese table tennis team, regrettably withdrew from the Asian Championships, which not only ignited the mood of fans, but also triggered a national discussion.
After playing 34 matches in just three months, her arm finally couldn't hold up, and the pain pierced every swing like a needle. During the game, her frequent arm rubbing was simply distressing.
This female general, the hard support on the field, is not only the persistence of the dream, but also the helplessness of the responsibility.
Moreover, let's take a look at the performance of the opponent Zhang Benmeihe, it is simply adding fuel to the fire. The opponent made a tactical attack on her injury, as if he was not playing, but attacking Sun Yingsha's pain points.
Although this kind of behavior is in line with the rules of competition, it has to be said that it is a bit of a "taking advantage of people's danger". In the end, Sun Yingsha lost the game with the lead, to be honest, it was not that she was not strong, but that she was physically and mentally exhausted to the limit.
As soon as this incident came out, the Hong Kong media immediately stood up to speak for Sun Yingsha, and her words were full of sympathy and support, and even directly criticized those who didn't understand her, and made her clear: People have already fought for this, what else do you want her? To be honest, seeing the Hong Kong media protecting calves like this, my heart is really warm.
Look at our mainland media again, and if you lose a ball, you will be labeled as an "upset", as if it is a great sin for an athlete to fail, completely ignoring her injury and fatigue. What about "love to fight to win"? Even if you don't win, isn't it a victory?
Let's talk about the performance of the coaching staff, it's a bit embarrassing. On the men's team, Wang Hao led the team, the cohesion is called a strong, even if you lose, you encourage each other, what is team spirit? Here it is.
But on Sun Yingsha's side, coach Ma Lin seemed a little "absent", and he was not by the side of the players at the critical moment, giving people a feeling of missing the backbone. This is not to say that Marin is not responsible, but that when the team members need support the most, that belief and strength seem to have not kept up with it.
On the men's team's side, Wang Hao keeps an eye on the field, and even the delivery of water can be prepared in advance, no matter who loses, emotional management is always online.
It's okay to lose, stabilize your mentality first. Wang Hao's firmness and the unity of the whole team make the men's team as stable as Mount Tai.
Winning or losing is not the most important thing, the cohesion of the team and the support of the coach are the real key. When the coach is there, the players' hearts are stable.
In the final analysis, Sun Yingsha's withdrawal statement made people feel her strength. She said on social media that she quit due to injury to better protect herself. She didn't blame anyone, only said that she would wipe away her tears and look forward to winning back the honor next time. This girl's tenacity and calmness are really distressing and admirable. For a 23-year-old girl, with so much pressure and expectations, her growth is obviously not achieved overnight, but forged by countless falls and getting up.
In fact, isn't our demand for athletes a bit excessive? They are not superhuman, and they are tired and hurt. It's already great to be able to give it your all, so why blame them for not winning all the time? Sun Yingsha is a pity to retire from the competition, but her fighting attitude and courage to face defeat are more touching than any victory.
So in the end, the editor would like to ask: After Sun Yingsha does her best, should we have more support and understanding, or continue to label her as a "loser"? What do you think about this?
