Did Yan Guili, the successor to the top sister of the national table tennis team, move to Switzerland after retiring?

Table tennis is China’s national sport, which makes the Chinese people proud. In the field of table tennis, China has made brilliant achievements, and many outstanding athletes have created impressive results for the motherland. Excellent table tennis players across the country continue to emerge, allowing table tennis to always maintain strong strength and potential.

Today I want to talk about an athlete who was once considered the number one girl on the Chinese national table tennis team. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, this athlete did not reach the heights she should have. She is Yan Guili. Maybe some friends are not familiar with this name. At that time, Yan Guili had comprehensive skills and strong strength. At the Third National Games in 1975, Yan Guili won the women's singles and team gold medals. In the following world competitions, Yan Guili also won many championships. At that time, Guo Ping was in the period of contract renewal, so Yan Guili was very much worth looking forward to. Everyone hopes that she can carry Guo Ping's banner and become a new generation of female table tennis elder sister and leader.

But unfortunately, the coach specially trained Yan Guili, hoping that Yan Guili could change her playing style and follow the coach's instructions and regulations, focusing on changing her playing movements and style. Obviously, this change is very unsuitable for Yan Guili. Her grades plummeted, and her conditions were far worse than before. It is a great pity that after participating in many world championships, she never won the championship. Yan Guili has never shown an absolute advantage.

In addition to changing his playing style, he was forced to give up the ball in several games, which was a huge blow to Yan Guili. At the 33rd World Table Tennis Championships, Yan Guili was arranged by her coach to give up the ball. At the subsequent World Table Tennis Championships, Yan Guili was also arranged to give up the ball and asked to deliberately lose to her teammates. It is understood that in several major competitions in his career, Yan Guili was unable to use her strength to achieve the results she deserved in almost every major competition, which was a real blow to morale. Yan Guili's condition became worse and worse, and she gradually collapsed in despair.

In 1981, Yan Guili chose to retire and leave the court, which made her sad. However, she did not leave table tennis and chose to be a coach. Then Yan Guili was sent to Egypt to teach, and then to Germany. Maybe it’s comfortable living abroad. Yan Guili moved to Switzerland in 1996. In 2012, Yan Guili returned to Beijing. Living in Beijing is quite comfortable.

Yan Guili often shows her trends and leisurely life on social media, and enjoys her retirement life with peace of mind. However, it is a pity that this former national table tennis star did not reach the heights he deserved.

Wish her all the best!
