On May 21, 2003, in the second round of the World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, German Pol, known as the biggest "roadblock" of national table tennis, met Qiu Yike, who was ranked 38th in the world at that time and had no reputation. Ball, who was ranked no. 1 in the world at the time, managed to win the first two sets of the game, and the direction of the story seemed to be the end of Bohr's victory. Unexpectedly, Qiu Yike played three consecutive sets, and in the case of falling behind 5:10 in the sixth set, he scored 7 consecutive points to reverse Pol with a large score of 4:2.
It was Qiu Yike's first World Table Tennis Championships, and he broke into the quarterfinals and eventually lost to Kong Linghui. Subsequently, praises such as "World War I Fame", "Genius", and "New Star" flocked to Qiu Yike. "At that time, after returning to China, public opinion spoke highly of me, and I was a little lost in the praise. At that time, I was not old, I didn't understand things, and I was a bit inflated... If there had been such a state of mind and maturity as it is now, those low-level mistakes might not have been made. 17 years later, Qiu Yike, who is already the national table tennis coach "Qiu Guidance", recalled his former "youth absurdity", and the most he said was "it is a pity".
The most sharp "little tiger" in national table tennis, after playing Pol he "floated"
I have practiced football, tried "crooked" drugs with my friends in kindergarten, stabbed an outlet with a screwdriver... Born in Chengdu in the 1980s, Qiu Yi can belong to that kind of typical "feitou".
At the age of four and a half, Qiu Yike was "enlightened" by his mother. Her mother, Chen Mingqian, won the table tennis women's singles championship and team championship in the 1988 National Construction System Competition held in Chongqing with a total victory. "Mainly my mother likes table tennis, and she has a certain level in the amateur area, and when she was young, she played at the same level as the Sichuan professional (golfer), and she was very self-motivated." At that time, Qiu Yike was not yet high in the table tennis table, so he practiced with his mother with his cousin. "I remember practicing very hard since I was a child, and I liked it when I played slowly."
Nine-year-old Qiu Yi could win the final at the Chengdu City Games, but the road to the national team has not been smooth. "I went to Qingdao at the end of 1995, started practicing in Qingdao for three years in 1996, and then returned to Sichuan, and after three more years of practice, I entered the national team in 2002." But after Qiu Yike entered the national team, he quickly became famous.
When Qiu Yike was a child, he won many provincial and municipal table tennis championships
"In fact, before going to the (World Table Tennis Championships) competition, there was a lot of pressure, and Cai Zhenhua (Cai Zhenhua) finally chose to report me, mainly because I was very young. I remember playing in the team, I felt like I was alone, because the competition was fierce and everyone wanted to play. Many years later, recalling this game, Qiu Yike still remembers the various depressions in the early days of going to France, "It was the SARS period in 2003, we were in France, foreigners looked at you and made me a little uncomfortable, I wanted to play the spirit of the Chinese team and the Chinese." The game to play Pol was the first time in Qiu Yike's life to participate in a major international event, seeing so many spectators, "I feel that it is the largest number of spectators, the most the coach said to me is to put down the baggage, in fact, I have no baggage, lose normally, win and earn." ”
In that fame battle, Qiu Yike got a name, Cai Zhenhua praised him as a "hero who fights tigers", and the name "Little Tiger" in national table tennis came from this. After returning to China, Qiu Yike said that he was "floating".
Qiu Yike, known as the "Little Tiger", is very domineering when he plays
After the World Table Tennis Championships, the official website of the International Table Tennis Federation published an article entitled "Young Shoulders", which regarded Qiu Yike, who became famous in World War I, as the successor of Liu Guoliang of the "Grand Slam", and was full of expectations for Qiu Yike's future. In that year's World Table Tennis Tour Finals, Qiu Yike returned to the hotel drunk and was punished by "suspension for half a year and probation for one year". In January 2006, he was sent to the military camp for 10 days without taking a leave of absence; in February 2006, he sneaked out to drink and was banned for one year and sent to the second team...
Returning to Sichuan as a coach without a desk, three consecutive championships in three years
In 2003, he became famous at the World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, and in 2013, it was in Paris again, and it was the World Table Tennis Championships, and Qiu Yike completed his last stop in the international competition. "13 years was my last time playing for the Chinese team, and in 2003 was the first time. Just 10 years back and forth, there is a feeling of 'there is a beginning and an end'. In the past 10 years, the changes have been great, and the roads I have traveled are still in my mind, and after 10 years, it will be different. In 2014, Zhenjiang National Table Tennis held a retirement ceremony for Veterans such as Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, and Qiu Yike, "Thank you for the national team for cultivating me for so many years, thank you for the help of each coach, whether it is playing ball or being a person..." When saying this sentence, Qiu Yike's choking can be clearly heard.
Qiu Yike was also a national table tennis "face value bearer"
After retiring from the army, Qiu Yike returned to Sichuan to become the head coach of the Sichuan women's table tennis team, and he was also the youngest head coach in Sichuan at the age of 29. "In fact, when I played in the next few years, I had some coaching thinking, including the understanding of the ball, I think it is still good."
After transforming into a coach, Qiu Yi can coach players
When he was a coach, Qiu Yike also hung up the position of "deputy director of the table tennis and badminton center", but he did not have an office, and relied on the half table tennis table on the side of the training ground as a desk, most of the time he stood or guided around the table, and he almost did not sit on the training day, because he did not want the players to feel lazy. "Collect your mobile phone at ten o'clock every night", "Be punished for being late for training", "Don't make small talk during training"... After the "thorn head" of that year transformed into a coach, he became very "iron fist".
"After returning to Sichuan as a coach, the requirements for the players are more stringent, and the training time is relatively long." After becoming a coach, Qiu Yike commented on himself as a lot harder than when he was an athlete, "When I was a player in the past, although I still liked to play, I was not fully committed. If I had been more down-to-earth, or earlier, I would have made table tennis my lifelong career, probably the road would have gone better. After I became a coach myself, I especially wanted athletes to take fewer detours, because I took too many detours. ”
Back to the Sichuan team, Qiu Yike with the support of the leadership to form the Sichuan first line and second line, three years he led the Sichuan women's team in the joint efforts of everyone, directly for the national team to send three athletes, (Yang Huijing) directly into the first team, (Guo Yan) into the second team, (Yuan Yuan) into the second team, and the number one women's singles Zhu Yuling won the national championship women's singles three consecutive championships, even the former mentor Liu Guoliang rarely liked qiu Yike Weibo.
In 2016, Qiu Yike won the women's team championship of the National Championship with the Sichuan women's team in a record time. A year later, at the National Games, they defeated the Beijing team led by Ding Ning in the semi-finals, defeated the Heilongjiang team in the final, and the Sichuan women's table tennis won the National Games championship after 52 years. Recalling the experience of winning the National Games, Qiu Yike said, "In fact, from the group stage to the final, our team members have played very hard, the competition is very fierce, every coach and athlete has done their best, the women's team has not won the National Games championship for 50 years, in fact, I think it has a great impact on the entire Sichuan women's table tennis, including the Sichuan sports community, and it is also a contribution to Sichuan sports." ”
At the 2017 National Games, Sichuan Women's Table Tennis won the team championship after 52 years
Return to the national team, the goal is to cultivate the "Grand Slam"
Qiu Yike said that the spirit and soul of the Chinese table tennis team is "human-ball unity", and a year or two before retiring, he finally felt this realm. "At that time, I enjoyed playing the ball the most, including the ideological realm and the understanding of table tennis, and gradually reached the best state."
Qiu Yike's favorite player was "Old Wa" (Waldner) "because of his style of playing, including the domineering on the field and that feeling." Later, the chairman (Liu Guoliang) played a Grand Slam, and when we watched him play, we had another feeling - that is, worship, because his style of play is not easy. Feel the perfect combination of aura, atmosphere and ball technique innovation. "And even after ten years of retirement, Qiu Yike's playing style is still unforgettable for fans." In fact, my style is natural, a natural outpouring after the heart reaches a state of self-forgetfulness, not deliberately expressed. Nowadays, with coaching thinking, Qiu Yike is more of a reflection on his own style, "My style has two sides, when it is not good, it will be very bad, and when it is good, it will be very good, so it is not particularly stable to play before, and it is also related to style." ”
Qiu Yike actually had a big dream very early. "At first, I entered the national team, then I played for the Chinese team, and then I had the dream of a grand slam." After winning the World Cup with the national team in 2009, Qiu Yike became the 100th world champion in the history of Chinese table tennis.
Today, the dream of a Grand Slam is still there, but it has become a "bring out" Grand Slam: "These dreams require us to work together, to go on in a down-to-earth manner, through daily training, long-term hard work, in order to achieve." Today, Qiu Yike has become Zhu Yuling's national team coach. Zhu Yuling had just passed the trough of her career. "Actually she's still not easy, I think. She is still very strong in the face of difficulties and setbacks. As a coach, it's a good feeling when you see players improving and achieving results in games. I hope I can pass on my positive energy to athletes and pass on the good things. ”
