Today is August 17, 2022, and China's famous table tennis player Lin Yunru celebrated his 21st birthday. Here, I would like to wish Xiao Xiaolin a happy 21st birthday!
Lin Yunru was born on August 17, 2001. He has excellent talent in table tennis. He won the singles championship in five all-Taiwan competitions in grade 5; in 2012, at the age of 11, he performed well in the East Asian Junior Championships and won the men's singles championship.
In 2017, 16-year-old Lin Yunru had already started to participate in men's singles competitions in the adult group. Although he was young, he often competed on the same stage with players in the adult group, so his growth and progress were rapid. In addition to some shortcomings in strength, he is becoming more and more skilled in technology.
2020 Tokyo Olympics, Lin Yunru performed well and joined hands with his partner Zheng Yijing to win the first mixed doubles bronze medal in the Table Tennis Olympic Games. At the same time, he also reached the semi-finals in his personal singles competition and staged a 7-game battle with Fan Zhendong .
Will Lin Yunru be the core competitor of the national table tennis men's team in the future?
We all know that before the Tokyo cycle, the core competitors of the national table tennis men's team were Ocharov and others; in the Tokyo cycle, Zhang Benzhi and stood out and defeated many famous players such as Ma Long Zhang Jike Fan Zhendong, which once made the national table tennis team feel pressured, but the presentation at the Tokyo Olympics was not ideal.
At the Tokyo Olympics, the opponent Zhang Benzhihe, who had been preparing for a long time, did not reach the men's singles semi-finals. Instead, Ocharov and Lin Yunru performed well, fought with Ma Long and Fan Zhendong for 7 games, achieving classics.
After the Olympics, Ocharov was always recuperating due to injury problems. Lin Yunru changed his coach and participated in major European competitions at the same time, actively training his physical and forehand strength, and his technical and tactical skills have been greatly improved.
So, it is safe to say that although there have been many men's singles strong players in the international table tennis world recently, in the Paris cycle, I'm afraid Lin Yunru will be one of the most difficult opponents of the national table tennis team.
He is only 21 years old, and there is still unlimited possibilities and room for improvement in the future!
