But she was expelled from the national team at the age of 26, bearing everyone's expectations.
Behind the fall of talented girls, is it a decline in strength or a hidden secret?
In the 2004 World Table Tennis Championships in Doha, when the host announced that the champion was Guo Yue, the audience was boiling.
So how did this girl, who is only 16 years old, become the youngest world champion in the history of table tennis in China?
Guo Yue has been showing everyone her talent since she picked up a racket at the age of six. In just two years, her training results are among the best in the city sports school.
With his unique playing style and fast hand speed, Guo Yue stands out among players. The coach of the provincial sports school felt that he had found a treasure, and even personally invited Guo Yue to enter the provincial sports school for training.
With extraordinary table tennis talent and regular training, Guo Yue's table tennis strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, standing out in various competitions and winning the championship.
How can such excellent talents be wasted? So when Guo Yue 1 1 years old, he joined the second national table tennis team and became the youngest national table tennis player in history.
It can be said that when ordinary children were still frolicking, Guo Yue was already at the peak and won many honors. It's really annoying that people are better than others
Different from ordinary women table tennis players, Guo Yue's style of play is to hold the racket horizontally in an arc with his left hand, which is more masculine. And the attack was swift and violent, which was rare at that time. She also used her advantages to win the championship again and again.
In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, 16-year-old Guo Yue won the bronze medal after Zhang Yining and Wang Nan!
Then at the Olympic Games in 2008 and 20 12, without the brilliance of Zhang Yining and Wang Nan, Guo Yue successfully won the gold medal, becoming the fourth legendary figure in the history of table tennis in China who fought in the Olympic Games for three times.
2 1 year-old won the gold slam of world table tennis, with a total of 15 times. Guo Yue can be said to be a talented girl. Edison said that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Anyone's success depends not only on talent, but also on sweat. It is with her own talent that Guo Yue worked hard day and night to become a talented girl step by step.
Just when everyone thought that Guo Yue could still lead the women's table tennis after Zhang Yining and Wang Nan retired, the 20 14 national team suddenly announced the expulsion of Guo Yue. She is obviously a general, how can she be fired for no reason? The reason aroused everyone's curiosity.
Because of his fame and strong personality when he was young, Guo Yue always had a sense of pride. When she was training in the team, as long as it was time, even if others were still practicing, she left with her book and never looked back.
On one occasion, the team informed all the players to gather for a meeting, but only Guo Yue was absent. At that time, Wang Nan was very angry, so she went to Guo Yue and asked why she didn't go. Guo Yue said that the coach told her to continue training.
When it was time for training, Guo Yue was the first to leave, but it was time for assembly, and he was still training. Compared with others, his approach is out of place. So her interpersonal relationship in the team is poor. After all, people prefer people with affinity.
Besides, Guo Yue is relatively young and naive. Because of her personality defect, she also had some friction with the coach.
In fact, it is normal for coaches and players to have conflicts. For example, Zhang Yining, the great demon king, once offered to change coaches. She thought that the coach's guidance was not suitable for her.
But the contradiction between Guo Yue and Shi Zhihao is not only in guidance. Shi Zhihao once publicly complained that Guo Yue's cultural level was low, his emotional intelligence was low, his personality was stubborn, and he was difficult to discipline.
For a person who started training at the age of 6, it is understandable that he has no energy to study. But Shi Zhihao said so openly that no one will be happy without education. Coupled with Guo Yue's unconvinced personality, Shi Zhihao paid less attention to her.
And let the relationship between the two fall to the bottom, but also from the 20 10 Moscow World Table Tennis Championships team competition. In the competition, Shi Zhihao gave up Guo Yue and refused to let her play. Instead, she chose Liu and Ding Ning who were weaker than her.
This arrangement is undoubtedly a distrust of Guo Yue, and it also makes Guo Yue doubt himself. After all, both Liu and Ding Ning were defeated by her.
Facts have proved that the strength of those two people is really not enough to cope with such a difficult game. During this period, they frequently lost the ball and lost points. In the end, China lost the Colombian Cup in 17.
Because of this game, Guo Yue suffered great psychological trauma. She began to deny herself and began to feel anxious and inferior. Coupled with the popularity of masculine style of female table tennis players, Guo Yue's original proud style of play can no longer occupy much advantage.
The increase in pressure made it difficult to adjust negative emotions, which led to Guo Yue's abnormal performance in the next nine events, including the World Championships and the Asian Championships.
You know, in the past, she was almost invincible, and even won the 15 championship. Now she has lost a game, and Guo Yue's psychological endurance has been gradually crushed.
This experience will happen to every player. After all, no one can always sit on the throne of the champion. If we can successfully pass this bottleneck period, we can cultivate our strong psychological quality and fight better. Unfortunately, Guo Yue has failed to overcome this difficulty, and it has become a heart disease due to the deep backlog.
Coupled with that time, Guo Yue's cervical spondylosis became more and more serious. In fact, cervical spondylosis is very common for table tennis players. They often strain themselves when playing basketball, but Guo Yue's cervical spondylosis is more serious than ordinary players, and even causes dizziness.
When she is sick, she feels dizzy, the whole world is spinning, and it is difficult to sleep at night. Not to mention training and playing games, she even has difficulty bending down to pick up the ball.
20 13 While preparing for the Paris World Table Tennis Championships, Guo Yue, who was practicing, fainted on the spot and was sent to the team doctor for treatment. Lying in the hospital bed, she was still worried about the game, and even quietly went through the discharge formalities and continued to return to the team for training.
Although Guo Yue achieved excellent results in the first round of trials, in the next two rounds of trials, she frequently suffered from dizziness and was unable to participate in the competition, which also caused Guo Yue to miss the Paris World Table Tennis Championships.
Faced with Guo Yue's serious illness, the coaching staff also felt anxious and held several meetings to discuss how to solve it. Kong Huiling is worried that if she is not treated in time, she will fall behind in the future; But she is worried that she can't participate in the competition and can only report to the national team.
20 14, 14 in June, the national team announced that Guo Yue was expelled because of his serious illness, which made it difficult for him to participate in training and competition. On 20 14 12, Guo Yue announced that he would be the coach of Liaoning team, but it was not long before he decided to formally retire.
From playing at the age of 6 to retiring at the age of 26, in just 20 years, we witnessed the birth and fall of a talented girl for many reasons:
Technology has declined, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough; Suffering from severe dizziness and recurrent attacks; A series of factors such as inferiority and self-doubt caused by being abandoned by the coach have caused the final situation.
Unfortunately, the favorite players were forced to retire after Zhang Yining and Wang Nan. Although he retired, Guo Yue's record will remain in the history of table tennis in China. Her heroism on the court will also be remembered by fans.
On 20 15, Guo Yue exposed the admission notice of the MBA in Finance of the Chinese University of Tsinghua University in Weibo, and said that he was very happy to receive this surprise on his 27th birthday.
Although the fans also feel sorry for Guo Yue's retirement, they still congratulate her on finding her next goal in life and embarking on a new journey. Later, Guo Yue's coach and former teammates forwarded her wishes from Weibo.
It is a great challenge for Guo Yue to leave his familiar field and devote himself to something he is not good at. After giving up love and pursuit for 20 years, we can't understand how Guo Yue suffered. Fortunately, she didn't collapse, but found a new path and chose to go back to the classroom for further study.
In addition, we will see Guo Yue in some variety shows, whether it is a reality show or a talk show. Just when everyone thought that Guo Yue would enter the entertainment circle, she chose to work in a financial institution and became a career-oriented woman.
With the growth of age, Guo Yue also slowly changed his internal and external image. From a capable short hair, slowly keep shoulder-length hair; Originally, some fleshy faces became more three-dimensional.
Guo Yue, a tomboy, has turned into an intellectual and elegant woman, which makes people sigh that the former hero champion is so beautiful.
After years of hard work, Guo Yue now has better living conditions, but there is no progress in her feelings. Zhang Yining and Wang Nan formed their own families and had children soon after retirement, but Guo Yue remained single after retirement.
However, feelings cannot be forced. Now, 33-year-old Guo Yue's living condition may be what she pursues.
From table tennis champion to strong woman, from tomboy to intellectual woman, Guo Yue is changing and perfecting herself. After experiencing the ups and downs of life, she realized her own shortcomings in gains and losses, and slowly smoothed the edges and corners.
Guo Yue is qualified enough to be called a talented girl. She never fell down, just changed a way, chose another way to develop herself, and kept shining.
