At the National Games, the Shandong delegation performed very strongly, and on September 19, it set off a gold-winning frenzy, winning 6 gold medals in one day. As of 8 p.m. on the same day, the Shandong delegation had won a total of 28 gold medals at the National Games. It is worth mentioning that Qiao Yunping, a former national player in table tennis and currently the deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Sports Bureau, also appeared on the audience stage to witness the wonderful performance of Shandong players.
Judging from the photos exposed on the Internet, Qiao Yunping wore a mask and a sportswear printed with the word "Shandong" printed on it, and appeared in the audience seat. When she saw the wonderful performance of the contestants, she quickly applauded and greeted, but her expression was very calm. Once the world champion of national table tennis, he has now become a deputy department-level cadre, shining in sports in another form.
Although many viewers today are not familiar with the name "Qiao Yunping", in the 90s of the last century, she was famous in the domestic and even world table tennis circles. It's just that Deng Yaping, Qiao Hong and others in the same period as her were too outstanding, making Qiao Yunping's light dim. Qiao Yunping and Qiao Hong were born in the same year, she specializes in table tennis doubles, partnered by Liu Wei, also from Shandong.
Now Liu Wei has a higher exposure, she is a professor of psychology at Peking University, and often works as a commentator on the CCTV sports channel. During the athlete period, Qiao Yunping and Liu Wei had a very tacit understanding, and successively won the doubles championships of the 42nd World Table Tennis Championships, the 12th Asian Championships, the 12th Asian Games and other events. Although Qiao Yunping and Liu Wei performed well, compared with the other doubles partners Deng Yaping and Qiao Hong, there was a regret of "both shengyu and he shengliang". In the women's doubles event of table tennis at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, Qiao Yunping and Liu Wei lost to Deng Yaping and Qiao Hong, and finally won a silver medal.
After the Atlanta Olympics, Qiao Yunping announced her retirement and began to take over the Shandong table tennis team, digging and cultivating new talents. At that time, Li Xiaoxia, who was a fledgling but strong person, won the attention of Qiao Yunping, and she began to guide Li Xiaoxia hand in hand. In 2002, at the age of 14, Li Xiaoxia won the women's singles championship and women's doubles championship at the National Table Tennis Championships, and has been a hit ever since. As a coach, Qiao Yunping also received widespread attention from inside and outside the industry, and soon became the director of the Shandong Provincial Table Tennis Management Center.
Li Xiaoxia's performance has been stable and excellent, and at the 2012 London Olympic Games, she successfully won the table tennis women's singles and women's team championships. After that, she also won the Women's Singles Championship of the World Table Tennis Championships and the women's team championship of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, and became a Grand Slam winner in one fell swoop. With the help of Li Xiaoxia, coach Qiao Yunping's career is also very smooth, serving as the deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Sports Bureau in 2015 and the vice chairman of the Provincial Women's Federation two years later.
Qiao Yunping's love for sports is obvious to all, and she has exhausted her efforts for the development of Shandong table tennis, and she has not yet married, which is really admirable, and I wish her all the best and a higher career.
