An Olympic champion is said to be so poor that she sold all her medals after retiring. Most Olympic champions keep their medals as a symbol of honor in their homes. However, in the case of Olympic champion Chen Xiaomin, we see that medals are not worth much but can make a greater contribution. Chen Xiaomin made an unimaginable decision when she announced her retirement and chose to auction off all her Olympic gold medals for 3.99 million yuan. Despite facing public scrutiny and criticism, Chen Xiaomin did not apologize or return her medals. Instead, she declared that selling her medals was the best decision she had ever made. When the medals were sold, it meant that all the glory of the past was gone. It is believed that Chen Xiaomin was surrounded by various accusations and insults during that time, and many people said she had let down the country's expectations. People criticized her in harsh words, but behind the scenes, no one knew what she was really going through. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Chen Xiaomin not only did not back down but also participated in a chest model competition. Various comments about Chen Xiaomin seemed to pour in like seawater. Later, Chen Xiaomin expressed that the first half of her life was spent fighting for the country, and the second half should be lived for herself, doing what she likes instead of working hard for others. Unlike other Olympic champions who might enter the entertainment industry or continue teaching in their field, Chen Xiaomin chose to become…

Recently, the WTT World Table Tennis Association announced the list of participants for the 2025 Singapore Grand Slam Tournament. In the men's singles category, Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Zhou Qihao, and Xiang Peng have qualified for the competition. On the women's side, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xintong, Qian Tianyi, and He Zhuojia have been selected to participate. It is worth noting that three major Olympic singles champions, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng, have all missed out on this event. Looking at the list of participants, the Chinese team has sent very young players in the men's singles, such as Lin Shidong and Xiang Peng. However, there are no young players participating in the women's singles this time. The young player Kuai Man, who was focused on by the coaching staff, missed out again due to her low world ranking. Sun Yingsha, ranked first in the world, remains the youngest among all participants. The Singapore Grand Slam Tournament is a top-tier event in the WTT series and also the earliest and most stable grand slam tournament held. Therefore, the national table tennis team attaches great importance to it and sends its main players. However, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng are collectively absent from this competition. The absence of Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng from the Singapore Grand Slam Tournament is not surprising. After the Paris Olympics, Ma Long participated in the China Grand Slam Tournament and clearly stated that it would be his last international event. Fan Zhendong…

Around the Spring Festival, around the eighth day of the first lunar month, the new training squad of the Chinese women's national volleyball team will be announced, and at that time, the identity of the new head coach of the Chinese women's national volleyball team will become clear! Can Cai Bin, the former head coach of the Chinese women's national volleyball team, set a world precedent by renewing his contract without outstanding achievements and coaching the Chinese women's national volleyball team for the third time? Is this possible? Will it become a reality? Of course, it is unlikely! Looking at it from nine aspects: First, defeat in the Olympic qualifying tournament. With the advantage of time, place, and strong troops at home, the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to secure an Olympic berth at the first opportunity. In the 2023 Olympic qualifying tournament, the Chinese women's volleyball team performed miserably, suffering three consecutive defeats, failing to directly qualify for the competition, and only managed to enter through their world ranking. This result not only disappointed fans but also exposed Cai Bin's shortcomings in on-site command and strategic deployment. Second, the Paris Olympic performance fell short of expectations. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team's performance did not meet the general expectations of fans and the media. Although the team had a strong lineup, they ultimately finished only fifth, failing to reach the semifinals. As head coach, Cai Bin must bear responsibility for this outcome. In competitive sports, results are often an important criterion for measuring a coach's…

In recent days, the sports world has been rocked by revelations from Judo Olympic champion Zhuang Xiaoyan, who publicly criticized her former mentor, Liu Yongfu, accusing him of being a wolf in sheep's clothing. The allegations include forcing students to take medication he had personally concocted and engaging in domestic violence against his wife, as well as infidelity. The controversy has sparked intense debate among netizens, with many questioning the veracity of the claims. Zhuang Xiaoyan, a decorated athlete, has come forward to denounce Liu Yongfu for using her name to create an online persona and gain followers on social media platforms. She recounted how Liu Yongfu would visit her family regularly, persuading her parents to let her switch from shot put to Judo, a decision that ultimately led to her success. However, Zhuang Xiaoyan also revealed a darker side to Liu Yongfu, stating that he would force them to take medication before competitions, sometimes even watching them vomit it back up. These medications, which she claims were prepared by Liu Yongfu himself, allegedly caused severe side effects ranging from acne to infertility. Additionally, she accused him of domestic abuse and infidelity during his younger years. Despite her own relentless training and the support of team doctors and sparring partners, Zhuang Xiaoyan suggests that Liu Yongfu may not have achieved much without their contributions. After achieving fame, Liu Yongfu is said to have capitalized on their names to open Judo training classes. Zhuang Xiaoyan questions the legitimacy of his wealth, rumored to be close to 50 million yuan, with businesses…

On December 27th, it was an important day for the national table tennis team as two Olympic champions, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, successively released statements withdrawing from the world rankings. They have submitted applications to the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) and the Chinese Table Tennis Association, which means they will no longer participate in international competitions such as the Olympics, World Cup, World Championships, WTT, etc. However, they are still eligible to compete in domestic events like the China Table Tennis Super League and National Games. Notably, after Fan Zhendong's statement, many sports stars sent their blessings. Coach Wu Jingping's words were profound, "When you keep moving up and stand at the peak of ten thousand mountains, look back, and you'll find that those who dislike you are still where they were, now only able to look up to you. Leave time for yourself and leave the rest to time. Right or wrong, warmth and coldness of human relationships, time will eventually reward you." Coach Wu Jingping is already 70 years old this year, and his status in the field of Chinese table tennis is extremely high. He was once the coach of the national men's table tennis team and trained many world champions, including Qin Zhijian, Ma Lin, Wang Hao, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, etc., earning him the title of "gold medal coach" by foreign media. Badminton Olympic champion Zheng Siwei supported Fan Zhendong, saying, "Brother, be the person in your heart." Swimming Olympic champion Pan Zhanle also liked Fan Zhendong's post and expressed support and blessings.…

Cheng Fei's name is a legend in the world of Chinese gymnastics, closely associated with the challenging "Cheng Fei Jump," which has become a symbol of Chinese gymnastics. Surprisingly, this little giant who once displayed astonishing explosive power on the balance beam and vault has undergone a dramatic transformation after retirement, akin to a metamorphosis. When she reappeared in the public eye, it was hard to recognize her, leaving many wondering what she had experienced during that time and how she is doing now. Cheng Fei's Career Despite her small stature, Cheng Fei possessed immense energy. As a core member of the Chinese women's gymnastics team, she achieved remarkable success in the vault event, winning three consecutive championships, etching her name into the annals of Chinese gymnastics. Not only was she a technical expert, but she also inspired her teammates with her tenacity and determination, urging them not to give up and to fight together for national honor. However, competitive sports can be brutal, capable of both creating heroes and shattering dreams. Just before the 2012 London Olympics, Cheng Fei was in the critical stage of preparation, eager to prove herself on the Olympic stage and bring glory to her country. But then, during a routine training session, an accident occurred. A misstep caused Cheng Fei to fall heavily to the ground, leaving her immobile from the intense pain. The scene was tense as coaches and teammates anxiously watched over her. Soon, the team doctor arrived and confirmed that Cheng Fei had suffered a severe Achilles tendon injury, effectively dashing…

A tweet by sports journalist He Xiaolong has caused a stir among fans of the Chinese national table tennis team (Guoping). "I firmly believe that Liu Guoliang has been removed from his position, this is just my personal judgment," he wrote. This short statement has set off a storm within the Guoping fan community. He Xiaolong, known for his sharp writing style, has recently been exposing internal information about Guoping, with undercurrents in his words. He previously mentioned several times how fan culture has eroded Guoping, believing that the silence of the Table Tennis Association is a "leaderless, semi-paralyzed working state," even predicting that "there's an 80% chance of a change in leadership." Now, he directly names Liu Guoliang, undoubtedly pushing this turmoil to its peak. Looking back at the women's singles final at the 2024 Paris Olympics between Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha, it remains a sore point for many fans. On the court, what should have been pure competitive opposition was overshadowed by the excessive behavior of some extreme fans. The boos and middle fingers from Sun Yingsha's fans, the fierce counterattacks from Chen Meng's fans, changed the flavor of this pinnacle match. After the Olympics, public security organs punished multiple online rumor mongers, but the influence of fan culture spread like wildfire, difficult to extinguish. Subsequent Ping Pong Super League events exposed this chaos even more blatantly. Fan Zhendong was slapped in the face by crazy fans, Wang Chuqin's fans insulted Fan Zhendong, Fan Zhendong's fans abused Ma Long, Sun Yingsha was reported... A series of incidents…

The second stage of the 2024 Ping Pong Super League is about to officially kick off. World No. 1 Wang Chuqin will lead his team to launch an attack on the league championship! Fans are also looking forward to Wang Chuqin ending his annual campaign with a championship. Wang Chuqin is currently very popular. On a certain platform's best athlete voting, Wang Chuqin has received more than ten million votes, far ahead of the second place. Another former Olympic champion, Zhang Jike, is also very popular at the moment. Recently, Zhang Jike once again commented on Wang Chuqin, and the two "hot people" have become even hotter together! Zhang Jike's latest comments on Wang Chuqin have also topped the hot search list. This is the second time Zhang Jike has commented on Wang Chuqin since the Olympics. However, the two comments are completely opposite! When Wang Chuqin lost in the first round of singles at the Olympics to Moregad, Zhang Jike commented: "World No. 1 is in the top 32, right? The top seed!" It is clear that Zhang Jike had some criticism towards Wang Chuqin. However, in his latest comments on Wang Chuqin, Zhang Jike expressed: "Wang Chuqin has it tough, he lost in singles but didn't lose a single match in mixed doubles and team events, not just anyone can do that." Zhang Jike's two comments are completely opposite, criticizing at first and then supporting. We don't know what Zhang Jike's purpose is! Moreover, Zhang Jike later used himself and Wang Hao as examples! Because both Wang Hao…

The recent announcement of the Singapore Grand Slam list has caused quite a stir! Notably absent from the men's table tennis roster is Fan Zhendong, the reigning Olympic singles champion and Super Grand Slam winner. This decision comes as a surprise, especially considering Fan Zhendong's consistent performance following his victory at the Paris Olympics. Whether it be the national championships or the China Table Tennis Super League (CTTSL), his form has been impeccable, with an undefeated record in the CTTSL that earned him the nickname "Steady as a Mountain." The absence of Fan Zhendong from such an important event raises questions about whether he has been sidelined or if there are other reasons at play. There are rumors of significant internal debate within the national team regarding Fan Zhendong's return. Some coaches believe that his presence might limit opportunities for younger players, while others argue that without him, the team's overall competitiveness could suffer. Liu Guoliang, caught in the middle, faces a difficult decision. Some speculate that the decision to exclude Fan Zhendong may be related to his personal development considerations, not wanting to be entirely controlled by the national team's arrangements. This revelation sparked intense online discussion, with opinions divided between those who view it as a betrayal and those who support the right to pursue one's dreams. Despite the controversy, many fans express disappointment at Fan Zhendong's omission from the list. The focus on training newcomers seems to be overshadowed by the inclusion of more experienced players like Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, and Zhou…
