On the evening of October 23, Ochalov, a brother in German table tennis, released a personal social circle and chose Chinese push:
Hello everyone, I have bad news for you.
I sprained my ankle while training last week. After consulting several specialists, I decided to have ankle surgery. The surgery was a success and proved to be the right decision. Thank you very much Dr. Mayer, Dr. Bolay and their dedicated team at ZFOS. Next, I will devote myself to the rehabilitation training that will begin soon.
I had hoped to use the momentum built up during the Olympics to get good results in Houston, but unfortunately, this time I had to choose to retire. Injuries are inevitable for every athlete, but you know my personality and I will continue to work hard and hope to return to the field again to let everyone see a stronger Dima! Come on!
Although the Chinese team is missing a strong opponent, it still blesses him and hopes to see a healthy and healthy Ocha in the near future.
Ochalov should be one of the players in the foreign association who is currently the biggest threat to Chinese men's table tennis, or even one of them. At the Tokyo Olympics, Ocharov faced Fan Zhendong and Ma Long in singles and teams respectively, and both played in the decider, not to mention, and there were also chances of victory, which is the best note.
According to Malone's words, Ochalov is the most "wanted" player in Europe, that is, the most unwilling to lose, the strongest desire to win. Unlike his big brother Pol, who only practices for about 1 hour a day, Ochalov trains very hard, and the intensity and duration of training are not inferior to national table tennis.
Dimitri Ocharov (born 2 September 1988 in Kiev, Ukraine ( one month older than Malone ) is 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 fact, Ocha has a deep relationship with China. In 2013, he represented Guangdong Chen Jing Club in the Table Tennis Super League, which was founded by Ms. Chen Jing, China's first women's table tennis Olympic champion, and has a number of good players such as Hao Shuai and Zhou Yu.
Later, Orcha briefly left the table tennis super league (joined Orenburg in Russia to play in the Champions League), but rejoined the table tennis super league after 2018, after all, this is the first league on the surface, but for the improvement of personal skills or to understand the opponent, the table tennis super is an indispensable platform.
On the eve of the 2018 Table Tennis Super League, he briefly topped the men's singles world number one.
As early as 2004, Ocha became acquainted with Chen Hongyu from Sichuan, who later became his coach.
During this period, Chen Hongyu returned to China in 2006 as the head coach of the Sichuan men's team, and in 2014, Chen Hongyu went to Jiangsu as a coach, and Ochalov also followed Chen Hongyu all the way to the 2014 and 2015 Table Tennis Super Leagues.
In life, Ocharov has gained a large number of Chinese fans and fans, and from time to time shows off his Chinese on Weibo.
The image of sunshine and elegance, the interaction of Chinese officials and micros have made Chinese fans have a great impression of him, which is in stark contrast to the attitude towards Ito and Roaring Brother.
In the early years, Ocha successively fought with Ma Lin, Wang Hao, and Zhang Jike, and later it was mainly Xu Xin, Ma Long, and Fan Zhendong's "enemies on the seat". In addition, he is also a "good friend" with Japan's Mizutani Falcon and the Chinese Taipei team's Lin Yunru and others.
It is understood that Ocharov's wife is a Swede named Jenny Merström, who was also a table tennis player in Sweden (earlier as an accompaniment partner of Ocha, and later practiced feelings), and the two had already held a wedding in 2013.
Ocharov and Jenny have a very good relationship, and whenever there is a game of Ochalov, Jenny will watch from the sidelines to cheer him on.
For the most favorite partner in the national table tennis, he chose Chen Meng. In a recent interview, Ochalov publicly claimed that he most wanted to cooperate with Chen Meng. He praised Chen Meng as the strongest female player in the world at present, and it would be a great honor if he had the opportunity to cooperate with her in mixed doubles.
Another interesting reason why Ochalov wants to match Chen Meng, that is, he once revealed that Chen Meng is quite good with his wife, and can even be called a girlfriend.
In the national table tennis, the person he personally admires most is Malone, and his lover is also a Fan of Malone, who also wears Malone's jersey when training with Ochalov at the venue!
However, his previous encounters with Malone have never been successful (counting the Tokyo Olympics, Ochalov's record against Malone is 0-19), so much so that Ochalov has repeatedly commented on Ma Long in public: he is the strongest opponent in table tennis in the world! So much so, Ochalov said, that the biggest dream in this life is to defeat Malone once!
I thought that this World Table Tennis Championships he emulated the Tokyo Olympic Games (singles bronze medal, team silver medal), who expected an unexpected training injury to make him completely out of luck, can not but say that it is a pity.
Maybe in the future, his fight with Ma Long we see very little hope, but with the little fat Fan Zhendong is likely to meet, after all, European players generally have a long professional lifespan.
However, since you like national table tennis so much, you can cheer for the dragon team in front of the TV when the time comes.
Bless Ochea and a speedy recovery!
