Dimitri Ocharov, male, born on September 2, 1988 in Kiev, Ukraine. He is currently a German table tennis player. He is the most promising rising star in Europe after Waldner, Samsonov and Bohr, and now he is 33 years old, which shows the lack of European table tennis genius.
He is tall, reaching 183cm, with a large range of motion on the table, and the serve is quite characteristic - squat backhand serve, under this routine, serve, defend, and tear in one go.
In this Olympic Games, Ochalov gained a large number of Chinese fans, and the sunny and elegant image and the interaction of Chinese officials and micro have made Chinese fans have a great impression of him, which is in stark contrast to the attitude towards Ito and Roaring Brother.
At 19:10 on the evening of July 31, after Ochalov lost 3-4 to Malone in the men's table tennis singles semifinals of the Tokyo Olympic Games, he sent a personal Weibo "painfully":
To be honest, after losing to Malone in the semi-finals, I was really wondering if I really had a chance to pick up the racket and compete with him again? This time the failure hit me so hard that I almost stayed up all night, and the picture of failure was repeated over and over again in my mind.
I got a lot of support from my family, coaches, and my teammates and fans, which was invaluable to me, and they pushed me back to my feet and back on the field.
The Olympic Games are so wonderful and charming, it can make people fall into the abyss in an instant, and it can also make people return to the top of the mountain in the next second.
It could be seen that this time the failure hit Ochalov hard, and it was difficult to sleep for a while. As an ordinary person, in the previous confrontations with opponents, there has never been a trace of victory (counting this time, Ochalov's record against Malone is 0-19), and the psychology must have collapsed. But Ocharov was defeated again and again, undeterred, though each time his hopes were dashed.
So much so that Ochalov repeatedly commented on Malone in public: he was the strongest opponent in the world of table tennis! So much so, Ochalov said, that the biggest dream in this life is to defeat Malone once!
Born Yu He Shengliang, the same age rival of the table tennis legend (Ma Long is one month younger) is enough to be talked about by the majority of fans many years later.
Yes, Ochalov respects Malone enough, even his lover, Swedish table tennis player Jenny Melstrom, is a Malone fan and wears Malone's jersey when he trains with Ocharov at the venue!
Fortunately, Ochalov made adjustments in time, and finally won 4-3 in 7 sets of hard fighting, "his good friend", Lin Yunru of the Chinese Taipei team, and won a valuable bronze medal.
The scene of Ochalov kneeling in front of the table after the game was touching, and he himself could not help himself, and in the middle of the night, he issued an official micro - this bronze medal means a lot to me, thank you to my family, friends, and my Chinese coach Chen Hongyu who supported me every day. Of course, I would like to thank the fans and the fans for their endless support and love.
A week later, Ocharov represented the German table tennis men's team in the peak showdown with the Chinese team, this time 2-3 by Fan Zhendong reversed the victory, although the defeat of Yu Rong, won the silver medal of the table tennis men's team.
This silver medal was not easy to come by, so much so that Ochalov sent 2 weibo posts in a row, and said that he "felt extremely proud and proud" to see the content of Weibo -
In this competition, we tried our best to finally win the silver medal, and I feel extremely proud and proud of this. Even though we have experienced setbacks in the past, we have never given up and have repeatedly lost battles. In every game, the Chinese team is always an incomparably strong competitor for us. We express our heartfelt congratulations and high respect for their outstanding performance and achievements in this sport.
In Weibo, in addition to thanking the German team for its achievements, he also expressed his congratulations and respect for the Chinese team in almost half of the text, with a particularly correct mentality, and it is estimated that he will gain a large wave of fans again.
Congratulations to Ocharov, you are a truly outstanding athlete with a sportsmanship!
Turn from this road to powder.
