[Edit this paragraph] Detailed introduction
Deng Yaping is the greatest female player in the history of table tennis. She has been learning to play with her father since she was five years old. She joined the national team in 1988 and won the 14 world championship successively. She has been ranked first in the world table tennis for eight consecutive years and is the longest-serving female athlete in the world. She became the only athlete who won the Olympic table tennis gold medal in succession, and together with Qiao Hong, she won four Olympic gold medals, including singles and doubles.
Deng Yaping, who is only 1.50 meters tall, doesn't seem to be the material for playing table tennis. He began to learn to play table tennis when he was five years old. Because he was too short, he was excluded from the Henan team and had to join the Zhengzhou team. However, with her hard work, rare speed, fearless courage and tenacious fighting spirit, she won the national junior table tennis team and singles championship at the age of 10, and then joined the Henan team and was selected as the national team with 1988. /kloc won the national championship at the age of 0/3, won the Asian Championship at the age of 0/5, and won the women's team and women's doubles championship at the age of 0/6. 1992, 19-year-old Deng Yaping won the women's singles championship again at the Barcelona Olympic Games and won the women's doubles championship with Qiao Hong. In the 42nd World Table Tennis Championships held in Sweden from 65438 to 0993, she won two gold medals in team and doubles, and became a veritable queen of the World Table Tennis Championships.
Deng Yaping's outstanding achievements have changed the traditional concept of selecting athletes only among tall people in the world table tennis. IOC President Samaranch was also deeply attracted by Deng Yaping's style and skills, personally presented her with the award and invited her to visit the headquarters of the National Olympic Committee in Lausanne. ...
1997 and went to Tsinghua University, Cambridge University and Nottingham University for further study, and obtained a bachelor's degree in English and a master's degree in contemporary studies in China.

From teenage love to ups and downs, and then to holding hands, today's Deng Yaping can be described as a double harvest of love.

[Edit this paragraph] Character story
Childhood:
When she was a child, Deng Yaping was determined to be an excellent athlete because her father was a sports coach at that time. However, she is short and short, which does not meet the requirements of sports schools at all. The door of the sports school can't be opened to her. So, the young Deng Yaping learned table tennis from her father, who stipulated that she must serve and catch the ball at 100 every day after physical training class. Although Deng Yaping is only seven or eight years old, in order to make his skills more skilled and his basic skills more solid, he tied sandbags on his legs and replaced the "wooden sign" with an iron sign.
How precious it is for a child! This will not only make the body suffer, but also bear great psychological pressure. Little she, every time she flashes, unfolds and pranks, can be described as a struggle!
The leg is swollen! The palm is worn out! -this is often the case! But he never complains or shouts tired!
The father in charge of training sometimes cries with pain!
There is always a reward for giving. Due to Deng Yaping's persistence, at the age of 10, she won the team and singles championships in the national youth table tennis competition.
Athletes' period:
After entering the national team, Deng Yaping overfulfilled the training task. When the internal training stipulated that she would practice until 1 1 in the morning, she extended herself to 1 1: 45, practiced until 6: 00 in the afternoon, practiced until 6: 45 or 7: 45, and finished training until 9: 00 in the evening. Deng Yaping often misses training time, so she makes instant noodles for herself.
When practicing unilateral attack in the team, Deng Yaping still tied sandbags on his legs, facing the left and right movement of two male sparring partners, it took two hours to play!
During the multi-ball training, the coach slammed the ball, and Deng Yaping opened his eyes and meticulously caught the ball every time. One after another, there were more than 1000 balls.
According to coach Zhang's statistics, Deng Yaping plays 1 10,000 balls every day.
After each training class, Deng Yaping's clothes, shoes and socks are soaked with sweat, and sometimes even the floor is soaked. It is necessary to change clothes, shoes and socks and even change tables to practice again.
Deng Yaping has long been engaged in intensive training. From the neck to the toes, many parts of her body were injured.
In order to cope with the strain of waist muscles, she had to wear a wide waist protector. The knee joint is swollen with fat pads, and the ankle joint is almost covered with bone spurs. Usually, she has to endure it. If it really hurts, she has a needle to close it, and the soles of her feet are bleeding, so she picks it up and wraps it with a layer of gauze to practice. Even if the wound is infected, you should continue to practice squeezing pus.
Educational system:
When Deng Yaping, 24, first reported to the Foreign Languages Department of Tsinghua University, her tutor asked her to write 26 English letters at a time. At that time, Deng Yaping took great pains to write the simplest things in others' eyes (as if it were incomplete).
So Deng Yaping compressed her sleep time to a minimum, often studied until late, got up at 5 am, and studied almost harshly 14 hours. Sometimes, while walking and watching, even the time for eating is used. More importantly, the good eyesight of 1.5 that has been maintained all the time when playing ball has also dropped to 0.6.
Deng Yaping kept asking herself that doing homework should be the same as completing the training class. What can be done today is unambiguous, which is absolutely correct. Deng Yaping's fighting spirit left a deep impression on his mentor and his schoolmates.
1Feb. 998, Deng Yaping went to Cambridge University in England to study. Deng Yaping began to study English at the Language Institute of Cambridge University. In just three months, Deng Yaping insisted on getting to school from her residence at 8 o'clock every day. After class at 3: 30 pm, she went to the learning center of the college to study ix, listened to tapes and practiced oral English, and didn't return to her residence until the learning center closed at 8 pm.
Back at home, Deng Yaping never wastes time. She insists on communicating with the landlord in English, finishing her homework on time and previewing her homework.
After finally getting a master's degree, Deng Yaping went to Cambridge University to study for a doctorate.
Writing in a fixed posture for a long time induced Deng Yaping's cervical spondylosis. His head can't move, and it hurts when he moves. However, pain did not conquer Deng Yaping. She gritted her teeth and insisted on consulting materials and writing in a fixed posture.
Honest story
It was the eve of Deng Yaping's graduation from Tsinghua. One day, she went to the Chinese teacher and asked him to help revise the summary of the philosophy class. This philosophical summary is full of four or five thousand words, and the content is very substantial. This paper not only expounds the theory, but also analyzes the strategy and tactics of the game from the philosophical point of view.
A few days later, the Chinese teacher gave the revised article. A few days later, the Chinese teacher met her on campus. On the one hand, Deng Yaping expressed his gratitude to the Chinese teacher, and at the same time said to him seriously: "I gave both summaries to the philosophy teacher and made it clear to the teacher, one was written by myself and the other was revised by the Chinese teacher."
A philosophical article, please ask the Chinese teacher to revise it. It stands to reason that it can be submitted as its own "original" after revision. The Chinese teacher will never question Deng Yaping, why not explain that the teacher corrected it; The philosophy teacher will not question whether she has been asked to revise it. Everything seems so natural. However, Deng Yaping actually handed the two articles before and after the revision to the philosophy teacher, and truthfully explained that he had asked the Chinese teacher to revise them. This is the honest Deng Yaping, this is Deng Yaping's honesty!
Only such honesty can lead to her career, her brilliance and her personality strength. Imagine, how can a person who is dishonest in his studies become Deng Yaping?
Olympic bid story
When Deng Yaping was an athlete, she cried twice in public, once in Barcelona 1992 and once in Atlanta 1996. After winning the Olympic women's singles, she couldn't help it. 2001July 13, when IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch announced that Beijing had won the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games, Deng Yaping cried again. "Beijing won, and I am more excited than any world champion I have ever won."
Ambassador of Beijing for the Olympic bid
In February last year, 65438, Deng Yaping knew that she and Yang Lan and others had become "ambassadors for Beijing's Olympic bid". At that time, she was attending the meeting of the Athletes' Committee of the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the delegation of the Beijing Olympic Committee also arrived in Lausanne. Liu Qi, chairman of the Olympic bid committee, briefed the IOC Executive Committee on Beijing's bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games. Mayor Liu Qi and Director Yuan Weimin assigned Deng Yaping the task of being responsible for the work of the Athletes' Committee. There are 1 1 people on the IOC Athletes' Committee, and one of them is Canadian, so there are 10 people who directly vote. Together with the chairman and vice chairman, a total of 12 people voted. On February 20th, Deng Yaping finished the last course at Nottingham University, and immediately rushed back to Beijing the next day to participate in the reception of the Olympic bid evaluation team. After leaving the assessment team, she stayed in Beijing and continued to complete some courses in Tsinghua University.
According to the regulations of the International Olympic Committee, members are not allowed to visit the bidding city, which is very unfavorable to Beijing, because many people have never been to Beijing and don't know Beijing. Deng Yaping said that there are more than a dozen athletes' committees, and only two or three people have been to China. Popov's last visit to China was 1999, and he went to Shanghai anyway. Australian swimmer Susan O 'Neill visited Shanghai on 1987, and American volleyball player Bob visited China on 1988. China at that time could not be compared with now, but it left a very deep impression on them. "The clothes you wear are all gray, and the buildings are also gray." So it's hard to do their job, because they don't know China now. You can't please come in, so you have to go out. "I have a relatively favorable condition. In the past four or five years, I have got along well with my colleagues in the Athletes' Committee. Everyone has been an athlete, all young people, and it is easier to communicate. " Deng Yaping said. She contacted the European Committee members in advance and asked if they had time to meet in the city where they lived, and then started running as scheduled. I went to Sweden to meet a Kazakh athlete in winter sports, went to Luxembourg to meet the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, and went to Italy to meet two members of the athletes' committee. In order to meet Bob in America, Deng Yaping travels from Beijing to Los Angeles once every three days, spending more time on the plane than in America. Although it is hard to run a place for two or three days, Deng Yaping thinks it is worth it. She introduced the current situation of Beijing to these people, which was completely different from their impression of Beijing. She told them that our government and people really want to hold an Olympic Games. For athletes, it must be a different Olympic Games.
Before going to Moscow, the Beijing Olympic bid committee had done very full and meticulous work in all aspects. I only did a little work. Many people have been busy for more than two years and have no holidays, which is very hard. Like Mr. He and President Lu of the International Badminton Federation, they have more work to do.
Two Olympic bid, two statements.
Deng Yaping was appointed as an athlete's representative in Beijing's two Olympic bid. From 65438 to 0993, Deng Yaping just reached the peak of her career, winning the women's singles and women's doubles at the Barcelona Olympic Games in the first year, which was deeply loved by Mr. Samaranch, President of the International Olympic Committee. More than a month before the vote, Deng Yaping was told to say a few words on behalf of active athletes in the final statement. "But I couldn't speak English then. Liu Beijian of the International Department wrote me a few words, taught me sentence by sentence, and let me recite them. " Deng Yaping, who has been studying at Nottingham University for two years, feels that the experience of speaking is really "hanging": "I basically didn't sleep on the first night of the speech, and I was more nervous than attending the world series. Because I'm not sure at all. What if I forget my words? I can't understand a word of English on paper. When it was my turn to play, I felt my heart pounding. I'm so nervous! But after playing so many world games, I was able to calm down and recite those words smoothly. "
Speaking on behalf of the athletes in Moscow, not only Deng Yaping is much more determined, but all those who have heard Deng Yaping speak English are full of confidence in her. Now she can write papers and give reports in English. Yang Lan, who studied in the United States, also praised Deng Yaping's English level. In addition, Deng Yaping is very confident. "I studied in Tsinghua University and the University of Nottingham for four years, and I didn't read it for nothing. I feel much more mature than when I applied for the Olympics last time. "
Although Deng Yaping has learned this sentence by heart, she still took the insurance manuscript to the stage. In case she gets stuck, she can finish reading the manuscript and continue talking. Despite many battles, Deng Yaping felt a little nervous before playing. "Eight hosts, plus nine people in Yangling * * *, we know how heavy the burden on our shoulders is. If the statement is good, it should be done. Probably won't add a vote. If the statement is not good, it is likely to reduce the number of votes. The Beijing Olympic bid Committee will be discounted because of so much work done in front, so we can only succeed and not fail. "
The previous hosts did a lot of exercises in Beijing. Deng Yaping said: "At that time, in the International Conference Center of the Asian Games Village, the venue was completely arranged according to the size of the rostrum of the IOC meeting. According to table tennis terminology, it is simulated training. Everyone's statement has been changed dozens of times, discussing, overthrowing, discussing and overthrowing. It was finalized in early July, and time was tight. When it really came to the "game", all of us played well. After the lecture in Beijing, everyone thought that the lecture in Beijing was better than that in other cities. Beijing is so well prepared that everyone is full of confidence in Beijing's victory. "
While waiting for the vote, the delegations of the five bidding cities all sat in one hall. "Although we are also very nervous, we are very confident and even think that the first round is possible. After the first round of failure, we were a little nervous: what went wrong? But everyone can still hold their breath. " Deng Yaping recalled. "At the end of the second round of voting, I saw that all three scrutineers had left, and I knew that there was a result: it must be Beijing! Because only Beijing can win the first two rounds, but it is absolutely impossible to go out in the first two rounds, which the Beijing Olympic bid Committee is very sure of. So the result of the second round must be that Beijing won. "
The dream has finally come true and many people are looking forward to this day. "As soon as I heard Beijing, I stood up immediately, and tears immediately flowed down, and everyone cried. It's really not easy. It can be said that at that moment, I was more excited than any world champion I took. " Deng Yaping said sincerely.

Samaranch and Deng Yaping
On the day before the opening of the 27th Olympic Games, Deng Yaping, a famous table tennis player who came to Sydney from Britain to participate in the election of the International Olympic Committee, walked into the Olympic Village to meet athletes from all over the world and began her campaign lobbying activities. Because it's the first time I've come into contact with this matter, it seems bad. As it happens, three Olympic Committee members from China, He, Lu and Yu Zaiqing, also visited China athletes in the Olympic Village. They immediately encouraged Deng Yaping to strengthen her confidence and introduced some useful campaign suggestions to her. At present, Chairman ITTF and Secretary General have clearly expressed their support for Deng Yaping's election. They believe that this is not only a matter for Deng Yaping and China, but also related to the overall interests of international table tennis.
Samaranch is nearly 80 years old and Deng Yaping is 27 years old. It is sports and the Olympic spirit that closely link them and write a story in the history of sports.
Samaranch took charge of the Olympic Committee from 1980. It's been almost 20 years now. His name is Saon. Saon likes Deng Yaping's bold, fast and fierce playing style, as well as his indomitable and tenacious style. Saon once personally said to Deng Yaping, "I like your play very much. Fast and fierce, it looks delicious. " In a word, Deng Yaping fully embodies the Olympic spirit of "higher, faster and stronger". Saon personally prefaced the book Deng Yaping published by 1995 and praised Deng Yaping as "one of the outstanding young athletes in the world". Her extraordinary achievements stem from her diligence, genius, indomitable spirit and respect for Olympic ethics. He believes: "Miss Deng Yaping's achievements will help promote women's sports in China and even the world."
Samaranch loved table tennis when he was young and won the national mixed doubles championship in Spain. He said, "I have special feelings for table tennis, so I actively advocate that it be included in the official Olympic events." Samaranch made great contributions to the inclusion of table tennis in the Olympic Games.
In the 4 199 1 World Table Tennis Championships, Deng Yaping defeated Li, the runner-up of women's singles in Seoul Olympic Games, with her quick and crisp serve and changeable route and placement, but she was unable to fight back. It only took 45 minutes to end the battle with a score of 3: 0, 18. Deng Yaping's superb ball skills won Samaranch's love. He decided to personally award the women's singles champion, which was the first time that he gave an award to a table tennis player as the president of the Olympic Committee. This is also the first contact between Samaranch and Deng Yaping.
1991September, Deng Yaping participated in the "Samaranch Cup" competition held in Japan. After winning the championship, Xiao Deng was invited by Samaranch to visit Lausanne. As an athlete, I was invited by IOC President Samaranch to visit Lausanne, ioc headquarters, which was unprecedented. China athlete Deng Yaping was the first person to win this honor. Deng Yaping felt unspeakable joy in his heart. She feels that this is not only her personal honor, but also the honor of all China athletes.
1991165438+1On October 25th, Deng Yaping went to Lausanne to attend a dinner hosted by Samaranch. At noon, the overseas Chinese boss of the restaurant enthusiastically taught her a greeting in Catalan dialect of Spain, "Bondias!" Deng Yaping learned this sentence after repeated practice. As soon as Deng Yaping saw Sao, he said, "Bondias!" Samaranch immediately held Deng Yaping in his arms and kissed her on the cheek. He didn't expect the oriental girl to greet him in her hometown dialect.
During the dinner, Saon inquired about Deng Yaping in detail, from competition to training, from study to hobbies. When learning that Xiao Deng started practicing at the age of five, Saon asked, "How tall were you then? It must be hard to play ball, right? " Deng Yaping said, "My head just passed the table, so I have to put my hand up and hit it." Miss Marta, Savon's secretary, immediately imitated the children's actions of raising their hands and raising the ball above their heads, which amused the whole table. Deng Yaping nodded and said, "That's it!" During the dinner, Deng Yaping learned that Saon was also a table tennis player when he was young, so he gave him a spare racket and a pair of fitness balls. Savon gave Deng Yaping a set of souvenirs introducing the International Olympic Committee and a box of chocolates made in Switzerland.
The next day, accompanied by Miss Marta, Deng Yaping and translator Liu Beijian visited the Olympic Museum and the headquarters of the Olympic Committee. Deng Yaping saw the five-ring flag and the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind. Miss Marta told her that it was specially prepared for China guests, but not all guests could enjoy this courtesy. This kind of high-standard courtesy makes Deng Yaping feel extremely proud.
1992 At the Barcelona Olympic Games, Deng Yaping partnered with Qiao Hong for the first time and won the women's doubles gold medal. Then she won the women's singles championship. For the third time, Saon hung a glittering gold medal for Deng Yaping and said with a smile, "You are invited to Lausanne again! Come with your coach! "
1May, 995, Deng Yaping and Qiao Hong won the 43rd World Table Tennis Championships. Saon happily hanged gold medals for Deng Yaping and Qiao Hong. This is the fourth time that Savon has awarded Deng Anyaping Award.
1996 After the women's singles final of Atlanta Olympic Games, Thorne awarded Deng Yaping again, the fifth Olympic champion. He held Deng Yaping's hand tightly and patted Deng Yaping's cheek with his right hand. This touching scene is full of emotion. For an athlete, it is a great honor to win Samaranch's award, and Deng Yaping has won this honor five times, which shows Deng Yaping's weight in Saweng's heart.
1February 6, 997 is Deng Yaping's birthday and her mother's 60th birthday, which happens to be New Year's Eve. Deng Yaping held a birthday party at Tianlun Dynasty Hotel to thank everyone. Xu Yinsheng, Chairman of ITTF and Chairman of China Table Tennis Association, delivered a speech. He said: "Xiao Deng has won 125 championships since he entered the competition, including 15 world champions. Now is Deng Yaping's time. I wish Deng Yaping a longer and more brilliant era. "
Yao, deputy director of the table tennis management center, announced the good news: President Samaranch appointed Deng Yaping as a member of the Athletes' Committee of the International Olympic Committee. This exciting news pushed the whole party to another climax, because it was the first time that a table tennis player held this position in Olympic history.
President Xu Yinsheng's statement that "some people say that Xiao Deng is going to retire" is not completely unfounded. Maybe it is because Deng Yaping wants to go to college, but going to college and retiring are two different things. Deng Yaping joined the professional team at the age of 9. As she grew older, her desire to go to college became stronger and stronger.
Deng Yaping's application was approved by Tsinghua University, and she officially became a student in Tsinghua University after the Atlanta Olympic Games. But Deng Yaping is still the active national player of China table tennis team. Deng Yaping won three more gold medals at the 44th World Table Tennis Championships in April. It was not until 10, 1 1997 that she really started working in Tsinghua.
1On March 26th, 998, Deng Yaping left Beijing and flew to Britain. In Cambridge, she first studied at Newland Language Institute, and later transferred to Bell Language Institute. On the day Deng Yaping studied in Britain, she attended the meeting of the IOC Athletes' Committee in Portugal and was invited to visit Lausanne for the second time.
Deng Yaping was arranged to speak at the joint meeting of the Athletes' Committee and the IOC Executive Committee in 1998. For this speech, Deng Yaping recited the English speech over and over again, from stuttering at first to fluency later, and finally she was able to recite it.
At the joint meeting on the morning of June 1, Mr. Talberg, Chairman of the Athletes' Committee, specially arranged Deng Yaping's speech at the back, so that Samaranch who arrived later could personally hear Deng Yaping's speech. As soon as Deng Yaping spoke, Samaranch laughed until the end of the speech, because Samaranch didn't expect Deng Yaping to speak such fluent English only a few months later.
