Ready to make history, Chinese table tennis star Sun Yingsha is setting her sights on winning everything at the 2024 Paris Olympics! 🏓✨
At just 23, Sun is already a force to be reckoned with. She's planning to compete in three events: women's singles, women's team, and mixed doubles. Having clinched victories at the World Championships and the World Cup, she's hungry for more and ready to conquer the Olympic stage.
Reflecting on her first Olympic experience in Tokyo 2021, where she helped her team secure gold and snagged a silver in singles, Sun says she's grown immensely. \"The last Olympics was unknown to me on a lot of fronts,\" she told China Media Group. \"Now I believe I have improved step by step, not just physically, but also mentally.\"
The mixed doubles event is especially on her radar. After China's unexpected loss to Japan's Jun Mizutani and Mima Ito in Tokyo, Sun is more determined than ever. Teaming up with Wang Chuqin, the dynamic duo has already won the past two World Championships. But the competition is fierce, and they know other pairs are eyeing that gold medal too. 🥇
\"As I grow older, I have become more mature and made more progress,\" Sun shared. \"I have a lot of role models to learn from. I'm not saying that I want to copy anyone or become the next someone because everyone is unique. But when people mention my name in the future, I want their impression of me to be unique too.\"
With her unwavering dedication and the hopes of a nation behind her, Sun Yingsha is ready to shine brighter than ever in Paris. Allez, Sun! 🇫🇷🏓🔥
