How strong is Guo Ping? After reading these data, you will refresh your cognition.

From 196 1 year # Rong Guotuan # won the men's team championship in the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time for China, until # Malone # won the double grand slam honor at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Guo Ping has been unconsciously "leading" table tennis for nearly 60 years.

Among them, Guo Ping's hegemony period really began at the Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships in the last century 1995. This competition not only won seven championships successfully, but also allowed Liu and Kong to show their magical powers, thus opening the era of "Guo Ping Gemini".

In 2002, Liu retired as the coach of the national table tennis men's team; In 2006, Kong also chose to retire as the coach of the women's table tennis team. Under the leadership of "Guo Ping Gemini", Guo Ping not only won all the championships in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, but also won all the medals in the men's and women's singles events, creating the miracle of raising three five-star red flags twice at the same time in the Olympic Games.

At this year's Tokyo Olympic Games, Guo Ping not only won four gold medals and three silver medals, but Malone also won the first double grand slam. In the face of such a powerful national table tennis, some foreign media even lamented that as long as they can mix a silver medal under the national table tennis, it is already a very proud achievement.

So how strong is the national table tennis team? The following data will tell you the answer!

During the 60 years from 1959 to 2020, more than 20 world champions such as Xu Yinsheng, Li Furong, Zhuang Zedong, Qiu Zhonghui, Lin Huiqing, Liang Geliang, Cao Yanhua, Deng Yaping, Wang Nan, Zhang Yining, Liu, Kong, Ma Lin and Wang Yun have been produced, and they have won the World Cup and the World Cup. Won 42 team gold medals in the World Championships, 2 1 for men and 265438 for women; World Cup Champion 21; Men's doubles 17, women's doubles 16 and mixed doubles 18 in the World Championships. China won 28 of the 32 Olympic gold medals, especially the women's table tennis gold medal. There are countless individual intercontinental events, championships, open competitions, annual finals and?2 diamond league champions.

1989, 16-year-old Deng Yaping won the women's doubles championship for the first time in the World Table Tennis Championships; 192 Barcelona Olympic Games, Deng Yaping, as the absolute main force, won two gold medals in women's singles and women's doubles. 196 At the Atlanta Olympic Games, Deng Yaping reappeared the miracle four years ago and became the first person to win four gold medals in the Olympic history of China.

1998, Deng Yaping was too invincible to find an opponent and had no choice but to retire. In the sports career of 14, Deng Yaping won the world championship of 18, ranking first in the world for eight consecutive years. From the late 1980s to the late 1990s, she was a nightmare for all her opponents. She won the singles and doubles championships in all competitions by herself. This era is also known as the "Deng Yaping" era.

Let's start with the ten Grand Slam players: Waldner (Sweden), Deng Yaping, Liu, Wang Nan, Kong, Zhang Yining, ZhangJike, Li, Ding Ning and Malone.

Among the ten Grand Slam players, only Waldner is a non-China player, and he is also the opponent who has spent the longest time with Guo Ping. It was not until 16 that he chose to retire at the age of 5 1.

After the men's team table tennis competition in Tokyo Olympic Games, Malone won the 26th world championship, becoming the player who won the World Cup the most times in history.

In the men's singles final of table tennis in Tokyo Olympic Games, Malone won the gold medal in men's singles 4-2, becoming the first consecutive champion of men's singles in the Olympic Games and the first player to win a double Grand Slam.

From winning the men's singles at the 20 1 1 Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships to achieving the Grand Slam at the 20 12 London Olympic Games, # ZhangJike # only took 445 days, making it the most efficient Grand Slam in the history of table tennis.

The increasingly powerful national table tennis team swept away foreign players in almost all kinds of competitions, which made many foreign players' competition experience extremely poor, and there were even rumors that table tennis was kicked out of the Olympic Games. As a last resort, the Table Tennis Association had to revise the rules several times to reduce the play of table tennis.

From 65438 to 0999, ITTF reduced the maximum number of participants in men's singles, women's singles and mixed doubles in the World Table Tennis Championships to seven (pairs), which prevented China from entering the quarterfinals in these three events, while men's doubles and women's doubles were three pairs, which prevented China from entering the quarterfinals and reduced the possibility of China winning a medal.

In 2000, ITTF began to change the small ball of 38 mm into the big ball of 40 mm, which limited the fast-break play of China team.

200 1, ITTF changed the rules to serve every two balls, limiting China's changeable serve. In the same year, the service was changed to tee off, which limited the strength of the first three boards in China. The change of this rule is mainly aimed at Liu, which greatly limits Liu's future play. )

In 2002, ITTF changed the best-of-five system (265,438+0 points per game) to the best-of-seven system (65,438+065,438+0 points per game), which increased the chances of competition.

After 2004, ITTF and the Olympic Committee began to try their best to restrict the China team in the competition system, so as to increase the enjoyment of the event. At the Athens Olympic Games, the lottery system was reformed. In men's doubles and women's doubles, two pairs of players from the same team must be drawn into the same half-court, so it is impossible for China to win all the gold medals and silver medals.

In 2007, ITTF requested to change the sponge rubber of table tennis bat from organic to inorganic, which reduced the elasticity and restricted the development of China's fast break.

In 2009, in order to prevent three red flags from being raised at the same time, as in 2008, the Table Tennis Association requested that only two people from all countries should participate in the singles competition.

In 20 14, the table tennis association abandoned the celluloid ball of 120 and replaced it with PVC plastic ball, which led to the weakening of many players with good backhand.

In 20 17, the table tennis association changed PVC plastic balls into ABS plastic balls, which reduced the rotation speed of table tennis.

In 20 18, the table tennis association changed the points ranking system, and Ma Long, Xu Xin and others needed to participate in a large number of competitions to maintain the ranking.

Twenty years ago, table tennis reached the top level in China, and almost every Olympic Games could contribute five gold medals to China. This made Americans with fewer and fewer gold medals unable to sit still, so they directly invited people to take the lead and demanded that table tennis withdraw from the Olympic Games.

At the same time, the enthusiasm of foreign athletes for table tennis is also declining. If we don't try our best to arouse the enthusiasm of foreign athletes, the table tennis competition in which only Guo Ping participates will lose its meaning.

Therefore, China has implemented the plan of "keeping wolves". On the one hand, it has trained excellent athletes for other countries, such as Ito Meicheng, who is planned to support. On the other hand, send some excellent coaches and athletes who are willing to emigrate abroad to help improve the comprehensive level of table tennis in other countries.

16 Rio Olympic men's singles14 final, ZhangJike vs Koki Niwa. Because the waiting time was too long, and I didn't have a good rest last night, ZhangJike was sleepy in the first game. He was completely out of state and lost a game in a stupid circle.

After the start of the second game, Liu woke up, and ZhangJike, who got up, turned on the "anti-killing" state, pulling four games in a row and sweeping Koki Niwa 4-/kloc-0.

From the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to the Tokyo Olympic Games, table tennis has maintained the results of men's and women's singles finals for four consecutive years, making table tennis feel like a team training competition.

20 17 World Table Tennis Championships ended. This time, Guo Ping turned the World Table Tennis Championships into the National Games, and China swept all the gold medals except mixed doubles. However, what is more striking than the results is the way the table tennis team holds the trophy.

Yes, the table tennis court of the National Games has always been regarded as "the most difficult table tennis match in the world". Even the grand slam of table tennis may not be won. At that time, table tennis "Gemini" Liu Hekong never won the men's singles championship in the National Games. Although ZhangJike won the Grand Slam in an astonishing 445 days, the National Games is still his regret. From 2005 to now, ZhangJike has not fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

It is detrimental to the temperament of a big country to let the opponent lose too ugly in the game, but the strength of some players is far from that of Guo Ping, so it is difficult to score points if they play normally. Therefore, Guo Ping came up with the idea of "letting points", that is, trying to create scoring opportunities for opponents.

The success of table tennis is not innate, but depends on the innovative thinking of the coach and the spirit of the athletes who dare to play and rush. At the same time, a solid mass base, a perfect echelon training system and a strong table tennis culture atmosphere are also powerful guarantees for China's table tennis to be far ahead. There are 80 million world-class fans and more than 20,000 students in sports schools in China, which can be described as talented people.

Moreover, table tennis is not without its trough. In the 1990s, table tennis was outmoded in thinking, lacking in innovation and brain drain, and the strength of the whole team could only be denied. Just like the current national football team, it is difficult to achieve results in men's singles and doubles. Only women's events can restore dignity, and the world ranking is also falling again and again.

Seeing that the table tennis team was devastated, Cai, who was far away in Italy, chose to return to China. After returning home, Cai led the men's team to prepare for the war, and finally won all the gold medals with the women's team at the Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships. It can be said that if Cai does not return to China, it is completely unknown whether he can achieve such results.

In fact, competitive sports is like this. No one will win forever, but some people can work hard forever. So, in the end, the person who has been working hard won.

I hope that in the future, Guo Ping can achieve better results!
