Chinese table tennis star Wang Chuqin is gearing up to make history at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, competing in three events: menโs singles, menโs doubles, and mixed doubles. ๐ From spectator to superstar, his journey is a masterclass in perseverance!
Three years ago, Wang watched teammates dominate at Tokyo 2020 as a substitute, practicing behind the scenes while China secured four golds. ๐ \"Seeing our flag rise for my teammates lit a fire in me,\" he told China Media Group. \"I knew my moment would come.\"
And come it did! In 2022, Wang claimed nine titles, including four singles wins. By 2023, he smashed records at the Hangzhou Asian Games, becoming the first player to snag four golds in one edition. ๐ช Now, Paris awaits his next move.
Could this be the dawn of the \"Wang Era\"? ๐๐
