Table tennis superstar Sun Yingsha is chasing a golden trifecta at the 2024 Paris Olympics – aiming to conquer women’s singles, team events, and mixed doubles. At just 23, she’s already a World Champion and Tokyo 2021 silver medalist. But this time, she’s playing to win it all .
Sun told China Media Group: “I’ve grown physically and mentally since Tokyo. Now I’m ready to show my best self.” Her partnership with Wang Chuqin in mixed doubles – fresh off back-to-back World Championship wins – will face fierce competition from at least five rival pairs .
Remember Tokyo’s shocking mixed doubles loss to Japan? Sun avenged it by dominating Mima Ito in singles, propelling China to team gold. Now, with sharper skills and veteran composure, she’s determined to make Paris her breakout moment .
“I don’t want to be the next someone,” Sun said. “When people hear my name, I want them to think: That’s Sun Yingsha.” Will 2024 be her legacy-defining chapter? The paddle’s in her hand .
