The National Table Tennis Express Competition will kick off on May 3, and all the participants are ready to play a big game before the Olympic Games, while striving to qualify for the World Table Tennis Championships, WTT Grand Slam And The Table Tennis Super League, including two 17-year-old female table tennis players - Ku Man and Chen Yi, and their supervisor coach, former world champion Qiu Yike, released harsh words:
"If you don't play, don't play."
As the "tiger general" of the national table tennis in that year, Qiu Yike himself was a bold, and he had overturned the world's first pol and made great achievements in the World Table Tennis Championships; now he is strict with his disciples, although he speaks harshly, but he also hopes to become a disciple, with good intentions!
Born in 1985, Qiu Yi is one of the "six little dragons" of the national table tennis men's team in the early 21st century, and was once on a par with Olympic champions Wang Hao, Chen Xuan and others. At the 2003 World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, Qiu Yike became famous in one battle, pulling down Pol, the strongest opponent of the coaching staff at that time and the world cup singles champion, thus gaining the reputation of "playing tiger general".
In 2009, Qiu Yike participated in the Team World Cup with the team and won the gold medal, realizing his dream of a world championship. In 2014, Qiu Yike announced his retirement, and soon after transformed into a coach, currently coaching the women's team with Marlene and others, and is currently training several young players, including Ku Man and Chen Yi.
Prior to this, Kuman won the women's singles championship at last year's National Youth Table Tennis Championships, while Chen Yi was the player who qualified for the women's singles competition of the National Games this year, and according to the regulations, they can both participate in this year's Olympic simulation tournament. Since both of the above are under the age of 18, as long as 1 person ranks first in the number one in this age group, it is considered a straight-through success.
It was precisely because it didn't seem very difficult that Qiu Yike gave the disciple a "death order", and the 2 little girls should pay attention!
But it should be pointed out that this time Qiu Yike also said this in a joking tone, so everyone does not have to take it too seriously - the harsh attitude is to urge the children to progress, not really to put unlimited pressure on the young general. So can Kuman and Chen Yi live up to the expectations of their mentors and achieve good results in this pass-through competition?
The answer is about to be revealed, so let's sit back and wait for the game to start on May 3: Come on, young man!
