Young star shines
Over the years, skilled Chinese players have been doing very well in table tennis. Now, young athletes from Generation Z are becoming the stars of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Born in 2000, Sun Yingsha has been given the nickname "Little Devil" by her fans. When she was little, Sun was sensitive to the sound of a table tennis ball hitting the ground. "I felt I had some talent," she told China Daily.
When Sun first joined the reserve squad (预备队) of the national table tennis team, she was excited. Becoming a world top player like her idol Zhang Yining has always been her dream.
However, there have been challenges along the way. She took part in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and it was there that she faced huge losses. "I was not well- rounded enough to win the gold medal in the women's singles," Sun said.
Sun believes that life is always full of ups and downs. "Determination and courage can make a good athlete," she said. "What keeps me going are the goals and dreams I set for myself,"
At the 2023 Singapore Smash, Sun won the women's singles, the women's doubles and the mixed doubles, becoming the first athlete to get three gold medals at the tournament (锦标赛) . Looking at the world ranking website, you can see Sun's name at the top of the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.
When talking about younger table tennis players, Sun encourages them to keep their love and stay focused. "If you truly love table tennis, I hope you can hold on to it," she said.
