The three events of the National Table Tennis Olympic Simulation Tournament were cancelled, producing 3 champions, Xu Xin won the mixed doubles championship, Sun Yingsha won the women's singles + mixed doubles championship, and Liang Jingkun won the men's singles championship. If the team members can win the championship, the coach in charge is naturally indispensable. Liang Jingkun has risen significantly in recent years, and his head coach Liu Zhiqiang is the hero behind it.
At present, the five main players of men's table tennis are: Ma Long, Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun. Among them, Liang Jingkun is the latest player to win the world championship title among the five, and he was given the opportunity to play in the 2019 Team World Cup final. In this Olympic simulation competition, Liang Jingkun was in a state of explosion, defeating Lin Gaoyuan, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, and winning the championship, he has steadily suppressed Lin Gaoyuan and become the main force of No. 4, and it is expected to go further in the future.
In the ranks of the first-line coaches of national table tennis, Ma Lin, Chen Xuan, Wang Hao, Liu Guozheng and Guo Yan were all world champions and even Olympic champions in the player era, and they were extremely famous. And Sun Yingsha's teacher Huang Haicheng, Liang Jingkun's teacher Liu Zhiqiang and other famous, relatively low-key, is the hero behind the glory of national table tennis, they have the ability to be good at cultivating young players. Liu Zhiqiang married a daughter-in-law who was far more famous than him: world champion Niu Jianfeng.
Niu Jianfeng is a generation of national table tennis celebrities, who won the women's doubles championship in the 2002 ITTF Finals, the women's singles and women's doubles champions in the 2003 ITTF Tour Finals, the team champion at the 2004 World Table Tennis Championships in Doha, and the bronze medal in women's doubles at the Athens Olympic Games. Liu Zhiqiang has been a sparring partner for Niu Jianfeng, wiped out the spark of love, the two were happily married in 2008, and now have a lovely daughter, and the family of three is very happy.
After Niu Jianfeng retired from retirement, he taught at Beijing Sport University, while Liu Zhiqiang led the Hebei team to achieve outstanding results, and was promoted to the women's first team as a coach in 2013, when he served as the head coach of Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng and other team members. In the Rio Olympic Games cycle, Liu Zhiqiang accompanied Liu Shiwen's side, became Xiao Zao's mentor, helped Liu Shiwen win the team Olympic championship, the most regrettable thing for the two masters and apprentices is of course that the final of the Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships lost to Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen failed to win the World Championships singles championship, and also lost the Olympic singles quota.
In April 2017, Liu Zhiqiang was adjusted to the national table tennis men's second team as the head coach, and then returned to the first team, only this time to go to the men's table tennis first team, and his No. 1 main force was Liang Jingkun. Under the tutelage of Liu Zhiqiang, Liang Jingkun won the world championship and became the main force of men's table tennis, and the championship in this simulation competition was brilliant. Congratulations to the low-key Liu Zhiqiang, who coached from the women's team to the men's team, interpreting that gold always shines.
