Similarly, Ding Ning, who officially announced his retirement after the 20021Tokyo Olympic Games, is busy with his new life, although he no longer needs to face the battle on the field. Having entered Peking University, she was recently selected as the candidate of "202 1 Peking University Student Person of the Year" by Peking University.
The school believes that Ding Ning has not only made great achievements in table tennis, but also is enthusiastic about public welfare: as the former captain of the women's table tennis team, she is not only a "Grand Slam" player, but also won many national honors such as "Top Ten Figures of China after 1990s", and served as a representative of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and a member of the All-China Youth Federation. The "Dingdang Charity Bank" charity project initiated by her has sent love to children in mountainous areas for five years.

Indeed, Ding Ning, who took off his military uniform, was a winner in life and set an example in all aspects. But it is also amazing in the change of its own image. The "tomboy" of the athlete period is gone. Now Ding Ning, with long hair and delicate makeup, has become a temperament beauty. That kind of success is the beauty of self-confidence from the inside out. It seems logical for Ding Ning to end his sports career in time and become a "Grand Slam" player remembered by history.
In contrast, Liu, who is similar in age to Ding Ning women's doubles partner, is still fighting for table tennis. In fact, as the only female player who won the World Cup five times, the Gaster Cup is also engraved with her name "Jujube", which can definitely be regarded as one of the legends of table tennis. Compared with Ding Ning, she didn't prove her strength at the Olympic Games just now. It seems to be just a gold medal, but it has been pestering Liu.
They have cooperated countless times and parted ways as competitors. You can say that in terms of gold content, the World Cup is smaller than the World Table Tennis Championships and the Olympic Games, and Ding Ning is more capable of seizing opportunities than Liu. However, an important watershed in their sports career-Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships in May, 2065438+2005 unexpectedly and objectively became a node that changed their fate. (The copyright of this article belongs to "Owen said sports" and is published by an anonymous account, all of which are plagiarism. )
In that women's singles final, the first six games were evenly divided, and in the crucial deciding game, Liu led 2-0. However, after Ding Ning fell to the ground in the fighting and applied for medical suspension 10 minutes, the momentum fell to Ding Ning's side. Amid the cheers of sympathy and injury, Ding Ning magically won Liu and won the women's singles title in the World Table Tennis Championships for the second time. However, some stupid "dates" didn't expect that their fate with the Gaster Cup would soon reach 20 19.
After the game, some media pointed out that Ding Ning was not seriously injured at that time, and the injury did not reach the level of medical suspension. In order to win the championship, the versatile Ding Ning "will" the honest "jujube" army! This "cheating injury" became an unsolved case, but Ding Ning was nicknamed "Ding Chunqiu" and many fans began to support Liu.
Since then, Ding Ning has successfully completed the great cause of "Grand Slam", but Liu has been paying attention to the qualification of women's singles in the Olympic Games and has been obsessed with it, which has become his biggest knot. So, she struggled to climb to Budapest; Therefore, when the pace of the Tokyo Olympic Games came late, when there was an endless debate about who to choose in singles inside and outside table tennis, "Xiaozao" resolutely resisted the pressure and joined the mixed doubles. She wants to prove that she can still play an important role.
However, fate is sometimes unfair. Liu is strong enough in the mixed doubles final of the East Olympics. If anything, I think Xu Xin should take more responsibility.
Therefore, Liu actually doesn't need to prove anything, although she may have regrets in her career, although she seems to lack an Olympic gold medal compared with her contemporaries. But in life, everyone has different roads to face, so every step should be steady. Different scenery is also fate.
