The big devil in table tennis

Xu Xin and Shao Jie got what they wanted.

The two of them successfully won the mixed doubles championship.

Only the two of them could understand how hard it was to win this championship.

This time everyone returned with a full load, including Jianhua.

Although Jianhua did not get the second place, he got the third place, which is also good for him.

In this Olympics, since Lin Hui won the championship and the closing ceremony was to be held, Lin Hui was invited to participate in the closing ceremony.

Other athletes who did not win awards returned home early.

It is an honor for Lin Hui to stay and complete the closing ceremony this time.

However, this is also Lin Hui's first time to participate.

When he and athletes from other countries slowly walked into the stadium, Lin Hui's heart was filled with excitement and pride.

He was wearing the uniform of the Chinese delegation, with the shining gold medal hanging on his chest, and his steps were firm and powerful.

In the surrounding audience seats, applause and cheers rang out one after another, flags of various countries fluttered under the lights, and the entire stadium was filled with an atmosphere of international friendship.

Lin Hui's eyes swept across the audience, and he was filled with emotion. He thought of his training career from childhood to adulthood, and the sweat and persistence day after day finally paid off at this moment.

He not only won honor for himself, but also brought glory to the country.

As the closing ceremony progressed, Lin Hui and other athletes participated in various performances and interactive sessions.

They held hands, waved the national flag, and smiles were on everyone's face.

At this moment, Lin Hui felt the power of sports, which transcends national boundaries, language and cultural differences and closely connects people all over the world.

The climax of the closing ceremony was the torch extinguishing ceremony.

As the torch slowly went out, symbolizing the successful conclusion of this Olympic Games, Lin Hui felt a little reluctant.

He knew that this was not just the end of a game, but also the preservation of a precious memory.

After the closing ceremony, Lin Hui and other athletes who stayed behind walked out of the stadium and were greeted by countless media and fans.

Lin Hui accepted the interview with a smile and shared his feelings and future plans.

He said that this experience has made him more determined and he will continue to work hard to prepare for future competitions.

He knows that this Olympics is not only an important milestone in his career, but also an unforgettable journey in his life.

He hopes that he will continue to fight hard on the field in the future and win more honors for the country.

The next day, Lin Hui and other athletes boarded a flight back home.

The moment the plane took off, he looked at the clouds outside the window, his heart full of anticipation for the future.

He knows that new challenges and opportunities are waiting for him ahead, and he is ready to face everything.

Of course, as soon as Lin Hui and other athletes who won awards returned to China, Lin Hui pulled his silver-gray trophy and gently pressed it against the suitcase handle, and the collision of metal against metal made a crisp sound.

"Lin Hui, look here!" The shutter sounds rang out like a rainstorm. He straightened his back reflexively, but caught a glimpse of his blue eyes in the reflection of a certain lens.

Then he heard the reporters asking again, "The score was 10:8 in the final. How did you fight back against Sato's net ball?" The young reporter poked the microphone in front of his eyes, and Lin Hui smelled the aroma of latte from the airport cafe on his sleeves.

The memory suddenly came alive.

"That ball..." Lin Hui turned his left shoulder unconsciously, and his muscles, which had been compressed by the airline seat for a long time, felt a tingling sensation. "In fact, I saw the extent to which Mr. Sato's wrist was shaking." The air-conditioning vents in the interview area were buzzing, and he suddenly remembered the Japanese shouts from the audience seats at the final. Those sounds suddenly died down the moment the ball hit the net, like the sea water that briefly retreated before the tide rose.

There was a commotion behind the reporters. A female reporter had her high heels squeezed off. Lin Hui recalled the strength of Sato's grip on his hand during the award ceremony. The Japanese contestant's bony fingers were wrapped in the same white bandage as his.

At the time, I thought that this net ball might be a joke of fate. "He paused, and caught a glimpse of his huge poster on the pillar of the reception hall. Under his smiling face, the words "The Light of the National Ball" were printed in golden regular script.

"But I suddenly remembered what the coach said." Lin Hui turned the trophy to avoid the direct overhead light. "He said that the real good balls are those that touch the net."

The applause from the crowd startled the pigeons perched outside the window.

In a shaky camera, Lin Hui saw his eighteen-year-old self, the boy who had been training in the provincial team's training hall until the early morning, staring at him across fifteen years. The reporters began a new round of questions, but he heard the sound of blood washing over his eardrums, like a tide flooding over a beach covered with shells.

"One last question!" The security personnel began to clear the area, and the girl with her work ID squeezed to the front. "I heard that your shoulder injury has reached grade three. This may be the last time."

Her voice suddenly got stuck in her throat because the world champion was gently stroking the uneven texture of the trophy with his fingers wrapped in muscle tape.

A silver giant bird rose from the runway outside the glass curtain wall. Amid the roar, Lin Hui's voice was as clear as the crisp sound of a racket hitting a 40+ new material ball: "The table tennis table is 2.74 meters long, but there is some distance." He looked up at the staggered stainless steel brackets on the airport dome, where countless broken and complete selves were reflected, "It is worth our entire career to cross."

The surface of the trophy was gradually covered with a thin mist. When Lin Hui wiped it with his sleeve, he found that it was sweat from his palms.

Lin Hui had just finished one round of interviews and won another round of interviews when he returned to the national team.

The first person Lin Hui was interviewed was the provincial team that had been cultivating him, so he accepted an exclusive interview with the provincial TV station.

In the interview, he said: This honor is not only a recognition of his personal efforts over the years, but also a tribute to the countless supporters and teams behind him. After all, Lin Hui went from the provincial team to the national team step by step, and the journey was full of hardship, sweat and persistence. His success is not accidental, but the result of hard training day after day, getting back on his feet after countless failures, and the persistent pursuit of his dreams.

In an exclusive interview with the provincial TV station, Lin Hui fondly recalled his growth process. He mentioned that when he first joined the provincial team, he was just an ordinary teenager with dreams, his skills were not outstanding, and he was even confused because of his unsatisfactory results. However, it was with the encouragement and help of the provincial team coaches and teammates that he gradually found his own rhythm and his skills improved day by day. He especially mentioned a provincial team coach who not only taught him how to play, but also taught him how to stay calm in adversity and how to find breakthroughs in failure. Lin Hui admitted that without this experience in the provincial team, he would not have achieved what he has today.

After joining the national team, Lin Hui faced even more severe challenges. The national team brought together the country's top table tennis players, and the competition was extremely fierce. In an exclusive interview, Lin Hui recalled that when he first joined the national team, he felt tremendous pressure and even doubted whether he could gain a foothold. However, with the careful guidance of the national team coaching staff and the selfless help of his teammates, he gradually regained his confidence. He mentioned that the high-intensity training and scientific training methods of the national team made his technical level a qualitative leap. More importantly, the spiritual atmosphere of the national team made him understand what true teamwork and collective honor are.

Lin Hui's performance in the Olympic Games was perfect. In an interview, he recalled the scene on the day of the final and admitted that he was very nervous before the game, but when he stood on the field, all the pressure turned into motivation. With solid skills and strong psychological quality, he finally defeated the powerful opponent and stood on the highest podium. Lin Hui said that at that moment, he was not only proud of himself, but also extremely proud to be able to represent the country.

Lin Hui's success is not only a personal honor, but also the result of the joint efforts of the provincial and national teams. His story inspires more young athletes, making them believe that as long as they work hard, their dreams will come true.

The provincial TV station's exclusive interview also allowed more people to understand Lin Hui's struggle and feel the charm of sportsmanship. Lin Hui repeatedly emphasized in the interview that his achievements today are inseparable from the support of the team. Both the provincial team and the national team are an indispensable part of his road to success.

In the future, Lin Hui said he will continue to work hard to win more honors for the national and provincial teams. He hopes that through his own experience, he can inspire more young people to bravely pursue their dreams and never give up. Lin Hui's story is not only the growth history of an athlete, but also a vivid teaching material about persistence, struggle and team spirit. His success proves that as long as you have a dream and work hard for it, you will definitely be able to create your own glory.

After the interview with Lin Hui was broadcast, it caused widespread social repercussions. Many viewers were deeply moved by his story and expressed their desire to learn from him and bravely face the challenges in life. Lin Hui's alma mater and the provincial team's training base have also become a pilgrimage site for many table tennis enthusiasts. Many parents bring their children to visit, hoping that they can draw strength from Lin Hui's story.

Lin Hui's success is not only a personal victory, but also another glorious achievement for Chinese table tennis. His story will continue to inspire generations of young people to bravely pursue their dreams and never give up. As Lin Hui said in an interview: "Dreams will not come true easily, but as long as you persist enough, one day you will stand on your own podium."

Although this provincial TV interview made Lin Hui's struggle story widely known and won him more attention and praise, it also brought some unexpected troubles. After the interview was broadcast, Lin Hui's popularity soared rapidly. Many table tennis enthusiasts, fans and even ordinary audiences were moved by his inspirational story and came to see this Olympic champion.

Soon, more and more fans began to gather outside the national team training base. Some of them were young table tennis enthusiasts who wanted to get Lin Hui's autograph or take a photo with him; some were parents with their children who wanted Lin Hui to be a role model for their children; and some were media reporters who tried to get more news materials by interviewing Lin Hui. After training every day, Lin Hui would be surrounded by a group of people asking for autographs, photos or interviews. Although Lin Hui has always treated every fan with humility and patience, this situation still caused a lot of trouble to his daily life and training.

The national team coaching staff also realized the seriousness of the problem. On the one hand, they understood the fans' enthusiasm and love for Lin Hui, but on the other hand, too much external interference was obviously not conducive to Lin Hui's focused training and state maintenance. The coaching staff quickly took measures to strengthen the management of the training base, restrict the entry of non-essential personnel, and arrange special rest time for Lin Hui to avoid him being distracted by too many external affairs.

Despite this, Lin Hui still felt tremendous pressure. He admitted in a team meeting that although he was grateful for everyone's support, the frequent requests for autographs and photos made him feel tired and even affected his training state. He was worried that if this situation continued, he might not be able to maintain his best level in the next competition.

In order to solve this problem, the national team decided to issue a statement through official channels, calling on fans to support Lin Hui rationally and respect his training and living space. At the same time, Lin Hui also posted a video on social media, expressing his gratitude to fans, but also hoping that everyone can understand his responsibilities and pressures as an athlete. He promised to hold a fan meeting at the right time to interact with everyone up close, but at this stage he needs to devote more energy to training and competition.

This move was understood and supported by most fans. Many people left messages saying that they would rather see Lin Hui continue to achieve good results on the court, rather than being affected by external interference. Fans spontaneously organized themselves and called on everyone not to disturb Lin Hui at the training base, but to express their support by watching the games and paying attention to his updates.

Although this interview brought some trouble, it also made Lin Hui more deeply aware of his responsibility as a public figure. He understood that his success did not only belong to himself, but also to all those who supported him. Therefore, he decided to train harder in the future and repay everyone's love with better results.

He realized that as a top athlete, in addition to fighting hard on the field, he also needed to learn to deal with the attention and pressure from the outside world. All of this will become a valuable experience in his growth.

In the end, Lin Hui once again demonstrated his strong strength in the following games and responded to everyone's expectations with one wonderful victory after another.
