China's table tennis GOAT Ma Long is rewriting the playbook again! The 35-year-old legend just scored a new role at #Paris2024 – part superstar athlete, part mentor, and full-time inspiration to China's next-gen players.
Fresh off his jaw-dropping World Cup comeback in Macao (where he rallied from 0-3 down to snatch gold! ), Ma's now chasing Olympic history. If he medals in Paris, he'll become the first male paddler ever to compete in four consecutive Games!
But here's the real power move: Ma's now sharing his 20+ years of elite experience like a human playbook. 'Every match teaches something,' says the man with 2 Olympic singles golds and 27 world titles. His teammates are getting front-row seats to greatness as China aims to dominate the podium.
Pro tip: Watch how Ma's spider-like reflexes and chessmaster strategies influence both his game and his protégés'. This summer's table tennis battles just got way more !
