In the 2011 World Table Tennis Championships, after a fierce battle, Zhang Jike narrowly defeated his teammate Wang Hao 4-2 to win the championship. Overwhelmed with joy, he raised his head and let out a long howl, tearing apart the shirt beside him. His wild and unrestrained performance made the fans scream in excitement, and the entire scene was boiling. At the age of 23, Zhang Jike reached the pinnacle of men's table tennis for the first time. His fierce fighting style made Japanese and Korean players tremble, and Japanese entertainment reporters gave him the nickname "Imperial Tyrant Tiger," while Chinese fans affectionately called him "Tibetan Mastiff." As the world's seventh player to win the grand slam in table tennis, Zhang Jike is powerful in the sport. However, due to his outstanding abilities, he is known for being unruly and flamboyant, which also led to his downfall. In 2017, on a variety show, Zhang Jike gently wrote two letters "K" and "T" on the beach, and drew a big heart between them. Fans speculated that this guy must have fallen in love. Soon enough, Zhang Jike and actress Jing Tian announced their relationship, which shocked the entire sports and entertainment industry. Everyone envied and blessed their sweet love story. Unfortunately, this sweet love only lasted for a year before they officially announced their breakup. This was followed by a shocking revelation that Jing Tian was being blackmailed by someone who had her private photos. After Jing Tian reported the incident to the police, the person was caught and revealed that…

Focus on Sports News, Pay Attention to On and Off the Field Recently, the collective withdrawal from the world rankings by two Olympic champions, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, has caused a stir in the table tennis world. In fact, not only Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng have withdrawn from the rankings, but also a more heavyweight player, Ma Long, who is regarded as the GOAT of the table tennis world. Moreover, it is said that Ma Long was the first of the three to withdraw from the rankings, although he did not publicly declare his withdrawal like Fan and Chen. Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng are of great influence and status in the world table tennis arena. Coupled with some deficiencies in WTT's participation regulations, this incident has gradually evolved into a game of wits and battles between top players and WTT. The situation seems to be escalating. After a period of fermentation, seeing that neither side has shown any signs of "bowing," the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) finally decided to send an "envoy" for investigation. On the afternoon of January 3rd, the international table tennis world officially announced an important message: A special investigation team will be established to solve the series of problems raised by the players recently and conduct a comprehensive review of the existing regulations. The members of this investigation team include: ITTF Athletes Committee Chairman Achtar, ITTF Executive Committee Vice Chairman Mieshifov; WTT Chief Event Officer Barsa, WTT Player Relations Director Sehweng. The decision of the ITTF is a positive response…

On January 3rd, Beijing time, Chinese fans finally received an official statement from the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), announcing the establishment of an investigation team to address issues raised by players and review existing regulations. According to the list of members for this working group, the leader is Sharath Kamal Achanta, the chairman of the ITTF Athletes Committee. This Indian national serves as co-chair of the ITTF Athletes Committee with Liu Shiwen, but surprisingly, Liu Shiwen was not included in the list, which puzzled many people. However, from a practical perspective, excluding Liu Shiwen is not discriminatory; it is highly likely due to the principle of avoiding conflicts of interest since both Liu Shiwen and Fan Zhendong are Chinese nationals. Furthermore, Liu Guoliang, as the first vice-chairman of the ITTF and chairman of the WTT World Table Tennis Corporation, is himself the subject of the review. Therefore, it is not feasible to allow him to act as both judge and player, making his exclusion from the main list entirely reasonable. Despite the absence of Liu Guoliang and his protégé Liu Shiwen, the WTT World Table Tennis Corporation has stated its full support for the ITTF Executive Board's decision to establish a special working group and backs the mission of this working group. Fan Zhendong's dissatisfaction with the WTT's霸王条款 (tyrannical clauses) does not merely reflect his personal subjective will. As early as the previous Olympic cycle, many foreign association players, such as Aruna and Simon Gauzy, had repeatedly criticized various WTT rules and regulations, which was no longer a secret.…

Recently, at the mixed team World Cup held in Chengdu, a striking figure caught everyone's attention. This was none other than former national table tennis "big sister" Liu Shiwen, dressed casually and radiating vitality. Time flies, and the once stormy "Little Jujube" on the court has now entered her thirties, yet she still maintains her unique pace of life and attitude. From the peak of competition to the transitional period, Liu Shiwen's career has experienced significant turning points. After the Tokyo Olympics, she gradually faded out of the main lineup of the national team and began to shift her focus to domestic events. This transformation is not only reflected in the competitive level but also extends to her attitude towards life and pursuit of values. In today's fast-paced society, the age of 33 is often seen as the "best period" for starting a family, but Liu Shiwen interprets different life choices in her own way. In recent years, with the increasing attention to professional women in society, more and more outstanding women are choosing to pursue the realization of their self-worth. Liu Shiwen is a typical representative among them. She did not follow the trend due to her growing age but instead paid more attention to personal growth and the improvement of life quality. It is understood that after leaving the main lineup of the national team, she began to try diversified lifestyles: participating in commercial activities, engaging in public welfare undertakings, exploring personal interests and hobbies, showing a new look of life. It is worth mentioning that Liu Shiwen's…
