Nine years ago, a table tennis player became a Korean citizen and frankly wanted to beat his teammates in China. What was the result?

When it comes to table tennis, I believe few people don't know China's strength in this sport. I once saw a hilarious joke on the Internet. The netizen described that the relationship between Fukuhara Ai, a famous Japanese table tennis player, and the China table tennis team is the relationship between Gray and Yangcun.

The reason is that the strength of China table tennis team is too strong. Although Fukuhara Ai has a high level, the "devils" who meet China table tennis team always cry, and they are "spoiled" by China team while crying. The private relationship is quite good, and they are not enemies because they are opponents.

Since Rong Guotuan became the first world champion of table tennis in China in 1959, table tennis in China has been developing vigorously. China table tennis players swept all major events and won numerous championships, so that some countries directly gave up table tennis. In this context, the competition of table tennis population in China is naturally fierce.

Nine years ago, a table tennis player gave up his China nationality and joined the Korean nationality because he wanted to find a breakthrough. Her name is Tian Zhixi, which may be remembered by many people. Objectively speaking, Tian Zhixi is talented in table tennis, and her level is not bad.

Tian Zhixi was only 2 years old when he joined Korean nationality. When she was interviewed by the Korean media, she said frankly that she wanted to beat her former China teammates: "Every time I see the Korean flag, I will be very excited ... Now I am a Korean representing South Korea and I want to beat them."

Tian Zhixi comes from a "table tennis family". His father used to be a table tennis coach. Influenced by the family environment, Tian Zhixi showed a strong interest in table tennis when he was a few years old. Tian Zhixi's family supported her practice, so she naturally embarked on the road of table tennis players.

At the age of p>15, Tian Zhixi won the second place in the women's singles table tennis competition at the Asian Youth Championship. Since then, Tian Zhixi has entered the national team for training. Because of her outstanding performance before, she is regarded as a very promising potential stock among many table tennis players.

However, Tian Zhixi thinks that if he stays in China, he may not be able to play as the main force for the rest of his life. China players dominate the table tennis world, which has long been recognized by the world. Tian Zhixi doesn't want to wait. She is eager to find a stage where she can shine.

So she became a Korean citizen through her father's way. According to the regulations, naturalized players like Tian Zhixi will not be able to participate in the table tennis world championship until at least 218. However, this does not affect Tian Zhixi's representation in other competitions in South Korea. In the year when he changed his nationality, Tian Zhixi won the table tennis individual singles championship at the National Sports Conference in South Korea.

Since then, Tian Zhixi has won the championship in Korea. In South Korea, Tian Zhixi can be said to be a player standing at the top, attracting much attention. So, did Tian Zhixi's words of wanting to defeat his former teammates in China finally come true? Judging from the current situation, it is still far from being realized.

The reason is very simple. Although Tian Zhixi has done well after going abroad, her departure is like putting a student from an excellent class in an ordinary class. She can get a good ranking in the ordinary class, but her grades are still the same as those in the excellent class. If she takes this grade to the excellent class, she will still not be ahead.

There are many top table tennis players in China, and Tian Zhixi's performance is in the middle level in China. Therefore, whenever he meets a table tennis player in China, Tian Zhixi can't get any cheap. The grandiloquence that I put down at the beginning seems to be too early to say now.
