In the just-concluded Paris Olympic table tennis men's team final, the Chinese men's table tennis team defeated Sweden 3-0 after encountering a challenge, achieving the fifth consecutive men's team Olympic championship. And the 35-year-old captain of the national table tennis team, Ma Long, with this men's team gold medal, became the first "Olympic 6 gold king" in Chinese history.
And after creating the history of 6 Olympic golds, Ma Long also had mixed feelings in an interview: "This is my last Olympic dance! I think this result is perfect!He also responded positively to the topic of when to retire. Ma Long bluntly said that he still needs to go back and think carefully before making a decision: "In fact, after the Tokyo Olympics at that time, I never thought that one day I would stand in Paris again. ”
He summed up his experience in the past three years: "In the past three years, I feel that I have really gotten a lot of training both mentally and technically, or there are a lot of such training or experiences that are really different, but in the end, I still have the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games, and I have done a lot of this preparation for the Olympic Games. ”
In the end, Ma Long also praised Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin's two teammates: "I am very happy, there are two strongest teammates in the world, everyone can work together for this goal, I think I am still the very lucky one." ”
In this Olympic Games, because Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin are too good, the 35-year-old Ma Long only represented the Chinese men's table tennis in the men's team competition. Due to the overall strength of the Chinese men's team, Ma Long only played the first doubles in the entire tournament. Failing to play in one singles match in his last Olympics may be one of the few small regrets in the curtain call of Ma Long's perfect Olympics.
