In China's sports circle, there are many figures who have made remarkable contributions to the country's sports career and achieved high rankings. However, few people may know that there are also athletes with very high military ranks in the sports circle. These athletes not only excel in sports achievements but also possess impressive military ranks, making them rare and extraordinary in the history of Chinese sports. Their identities are equally complex. Below, we will introduce six athletes who are not only prominent in the sports circle but also carry high military ranks that are quite astonishing. Who are they? Liu Guoliang, known as "the fat guy who doesn't understand the ball," is undoubtedly one of the most successful figures in the sports world. As the most famous table tennis coach now, he has trained many outstanding athletes for our country, making table tennis a deeply rooted sport in the hearts of the people. In 1991, Liu Guoliang joined the national team and won many gold medals on behalf of China. He was the first athlete in China to use the straight bat horizontal striking technique and the first male table tennis player in China to win the "Grand Slam" by combining Olympic, World Championship, and other titles. After retiring in 2002, he stayed in the national team to coach, using his extensive experience to train younger athletes. The athletes he trained, such as Ma Long and Xu Xin, have proven his extraordinary skills in table tennis. During the Rio Olympics, a Taiwanese commentator boldly commented online, posting on social media,…

Wang Manyu, a typically low-key table tennis player, made headlines after unleashing two roars at the end of the final match in this year's Super League. This unusual behavior quickly became the focus of post-game discussions. Some believe it was a release of pent-up pressure, while others see it as an unfriendly response to opponents and public opinion. So, what do these two roars signify? What difficult struggles and highlights are hidden behind this final? This was not a calm game. There were controversial calls, emotional breakdowns, and unsupportive spectators. However, Wang Manyu resolved all these uncontrollable factors with a decisive "straight shot." The real question is how much pressure a victory must bear and where these emotions truly stem from. Returning to the scene of the match, it can be said that this championship battle in the Super League was a confrontation of various pressures and emotions. Shandong Luneng faced off against the formidable Shenzhen University, with each team boasting world-class players. At stake was not only prestige but also the collaboration within the teams and the display of top-level performance by the athletes. The match is most famous not for its gameplay but for two controversial moments that left spectators holding their breath. The first occurred in the fourth set when Shenzhen University's main player, Sun Yingsha, was awarded a point for a borderline shot, which Shandong Luneng contested. Although technical replays confirmed the call was correct, the brief controversy had already tensed the atmosphere. The second incident happened during a critical rally in the deciding set when…

The ATP China Hong Kong Tennis Open (250 level) has concluded the quarterfinal matches. The 19-year-old Chinese player, Shang Juncheng, performed outstandingly, defeating Hungary's Mauro Rán with scores of 1:6, 6:3, and 6:4, strongly advancing to the top 4. Last year at the Hong Kong station competition, Shang Juncheng was a semi-finalist, thus facing the pressure of maintaining his high ranking points. Mauro Rán is ranked 58th in the world, while Shang is ranked 50th, with both players' abilities being quite similar. In the first set, Shang struggled to adapt to his opponent's tall and imposing presence, losing serve repeatedly and quickly falling to a 1:6 defeat. However, from the second set onwards, the smart and resourceful Shang returned, skillfully controlling the rhythm and frequently scoring with impressive shots into open spaces. He won the next two sets 6:3 and 6:4, convincingly impressing the 1.93-meter-tall Hungarian giant. Shang Juncheng's opponent in the semi-finals will be Japanese star Kei Nishikori, who defeated Briton Norrie - the only one among the top 8 seeds with a higher world ranking than Shang. This time, all the top 8 seeded players have been eliminated from the competition. Born in 1989, Nishikori has achieved a Grand Slam runner-up finish and an Olympic bronze medal, once considered the best in Asia. If Shang Juncheng can win the Asian derby, his immediate world ranking will surpass Zhang Zhizhen, becoming the new number one player in China. Let's look forward to Shang Juncheng's excellent performance in the semi-finals!

The Ping Pong Super League has concluded, with the men's and women's team championships going to Shandong Weiqiao and Shandong Luneng respectively. The various awards have also been decided, but the controversies surrounding the league continue. Among them, a scene from the women's final sparked heated discussion. At the time, three female fans sitting in the front row unleashed harsh criticism, even cursing at Olympic champion Wang Manyu with extremely offensive language, indicating that the fan culture within the national ping pong scene really needs to be rectified. Without further ado, let's take a look at the situation during Wang Manyu's match against Tan Yuxuan. The competition was very intense, and a controversial shot occurred. After Wang Manyu returned the ball, Tan Yuxuan attempted to save it, and Wang Manyu signaled that her opponent had double-bounced the ball (or possibly indicated that the opponent's racket touched the table). The match was temporarily paused as both sides argued over whether the shot was a foul, leading to an intense dispute between Wang Manyu and the referee, making for a chaotic scene. At this moment, the three female fans sitting in the first row appeared extremely indignant. They stood up on the stands, using very harsh language to attack Wang Manyu. Although they did not name her directly, their comments, "Can absolute main players act like this?" clearly targeted Wang Manyu, as she is the absolute main player of the national ping pong team, while Tan Yuxuan is not. Let's take a look at what the three women said: "Do you have…

Pang Junxu, a Chinese snooker player who was named Rookie of the Year and is believed by O'Sullivan to have the potential to win the World Championship, aims to become the first post-00s snooker champion. On the third day of the new year, he made a strong appearance at the first snooker event of 2025 - the invitational version of the Champion League.‌ At the beginning of this season, Pang Junxu achieved a remarkable comeback in the Shanghai Masters, defeating last season's triple crown winner Gary Wilson with a score of 6-5. In the quarter-finals, he faced four-time World Champion Mark Selby, who had easily defeated wildcard player Cao Jin with a score of 6-1 in the previous round.‌ In the quarter-final match against Selby, Pang Junxu initially trailed 0-1 and 1-2, but then lost two consecutive frames in the third and fourth rounds, only to bounce back and lead Selby 3-2. However, Selby suddenly found his attacking rhythm and completely dominated Pang Junxu's offensive and defensive pace.‌ From the fifth to the ninth frame, Selby won four frames in a row, ultimately reversing the game with a total score of 6-3 to advance. In the last four frames, Selby's performance was particularly impressive, as he scored a century break (118 points) and three 50+ breaks (75 points, 60 points, 81 points).‌ The detailed scores for the nine frames between Pang Junxu and Selby were: 0-95 (83)-0, 76 (62)-25, 91 (91)-0, 0-86 (86), 63-21, 1-81 (75), 23-89 (60), 0-81 (81), 1-118 (118).‌ Despite the loss to Selby, Pang Junxu's overall…

In the last quarterfinal of the United Cup, Czech Republic faced Italy. In the first match, Czech player Muchova performed outstandingly, sweeping world No. 4 Paulini with a score of 6-2, 6-2, helping the Czech team take the lead. This victory also expanded Muchova's record against Paulini to 5-0. "I really wanted to bring a point to the team, so I tried to stay focused," Muchova said in a post-match interview. "Paulini is an incredible player. It was a tough match. I knew I had to hold on until the end. She had many break opportunities. I think I served well. I'm really happy I did it." From the scene, Muchova still seemed modest. Currently ranked 22nd in the world, in the first four games, the two were at odds with each other. However, after that, Muchova continued to pressure Paulini's forehand, and Paulini didn't have many options. Muchova performed particularly well under pressure today, saving all 10 break points she faced. Now, the pressure of the game has completely shifted to the Italian side. The second match is a men's singles match between Machac and Coppola. If Machac wins, the Czech Republic will secure the last spot in the United Cup semifinals.

Chinese football, well, we've come to understand it in this life: trying to make a name for oneself in the top five leagues is harder than climbing to the heavens! Take Wu Lei, for example; he at least played a few games with Espanyol before returning. Now, there isn't a single Chinese player left in those top leagues! So what do we do? Don't worry, there's always a way! Nowadays, there's a group of young men who have taken an alternative path and gone to Eastern Europe to train! Have you heard of places like Serbia and Croatia? Yes, that's where they are! You might not believe it, but the Eastern European leagues are quite interesting; their level is neither too high nor too low, making them perfect for our Chinese players to practice. Think about it, what are the top five leagues? They're where the gods fight! With our level, we wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth! We'd probably just end up sitting on the bench, watching the water dispenser! But Eastern Europe is different; the competition is less fierce, there are more opportunities to play, and we can accumulate experience—how great is that! Already, 12 Chinese young men have ventured into the Serbian league! That's not a small number! This lineup might make one think that Chinese football is moving house collectively! Among them are second-generation stars, promising talents, and the unknown "wallflowers," each harboring a strong desire to make a name for themselves in the Eastern European football scene! Let's start with…

Some fans say that Tapiya's transfer to Tianjin Women's Volleyball was a failure, ultimately leading to her being terminated mid-season. During each game, she sat in the stands clapping and tapping her hands while others played and competed on the court. She had nothing to do and was quite bored. The young girl is small in age, doesn't speak the language well, and has few friends, which is indeed quite boring. However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. This may have given Tapiya an opportunity for self-reflection, allowing her to realize how important it is to strive for self-improvement. Only with skills can one secure a position; otherwise, they really can only become a spectator! Additionally, Tapiya followed Tianjin Women's Volleyball to win the runner-up of the Club World Cup, which is a medal difficult to obtain in the Dominican Republic. She should also have received her due salary, earning a substantial reward without playing many games and incidentally winning a silver medal from the Club World Cup. It can be said that she didn't come to Tianjin Women's Volleyball in vain. Tapiya, whose full name is Alondra Denis Tapia Cruz, was born on May 19, 2004, and is currently only 20 years old. She is 1.93 meters tall, uses her right hand for offense, and possesses excellent attacking and blocking abilities, especially excelling in the opposite position. Her attacks are very aggressive, with outstanding jumping ability, and she displays leadership and decision-making skills in matches. However, despite her outstanding performance in attack, there is still room for improvement in…
