Sun Yingsha talks about the regrets of the Olympics: Paris failed and cried so hard that she clenched her fists. Now she said that Los Angeles wins and loses are "the best me"

On May 30, CCTV's camera pointed at the national table tennis Olympic champion Sun Yingsha. When talking about the Olympic gold medal that I haven't won in my career, this girl who is in a hot field has a glimmer of eyes and a tenacity in her tone.

From Tokyo to Paris, he stood on the stage of the Olympics twice, but lost to his teammate Chen Meng twice in the finals. Especially in Paris, everyone thought she could win the championship steadily, but the result was unexpected. That night, she sat in the backstage, holding the racket in her hand, and her nails were almost pinching into her palms - it was fake to say that it was not uncomfortable, after all, who wouldn't want to win that gold medal in the highest court? But as she said in the interview, she has never tasted the taste of success and failure, and shed tears through her heart? Thinking about it now, if you take the Olympic champion too seriously, it will be like carrying a big burden and unable to walk.

host Gao Han asked her if she was under pressure. She tilted her head and smiled: "Just like the ranking of the world's number one, what if I couldn't keep it, I would have been crushed long ago. Instead, I let go and took a quicker step. Even if I didn't win the championship in the Los Angeles Olympics, I am still the Sun Yingsha who tried her best on the table." This sounds simple, but from the mouth of an athlete who treats table tennis as life, how many times will it take to figure it out in the middle of the night?

Netizens can feel her transparency through the screen. Someone left a message in the comment section: "When Doha won the game, you knew that you were still the Xiaosha who rushed forward. The past game was over, and the next game was the battlefield." Someone said: "Looking at what you always want to use to poke her heart, but she didn't follow your thoughts. Whether it's Paris or the Asian Cup, every time she was 'scissed', she could grit her teeth and turn her wounds into armor."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the most moving thing about competitive sports is never to win forever, but to smile and wipe your sweat after losing, and say "come again". Just as Sun Yingsha said, life is so long, the Olympics are just one stop. Now she holds the World Cup and World Table Tennis Championships in her hands, standing at the starting point of the Los Angeles cycle, and still has the unyielding spirit in her eyes - this is the Sun Yingsha we know. Regardless of winning or losing, she always raises her racket towards the challenge opposite the table, and always believes that the next ball can be played more beautifully.
