For Chinese table tennis players, winning a medal at the Olympics is a special honor. Tokyo Olympic gold medallist Chen Meng will be 30 years old at Paris 2024. Chen Meng's two-in-a-row singles title in Paris highlights her hidden thoughts and entanglements.

Chen Meng said that he would participate in the 2025 All China Games

After the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Meng failed to achieve the desired results in international competitions. Half a year before the Paris Olympics, in the women's team final of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, the Chinese team and the Japanese team had a fierce match, and Chen Meng defeated Zhang Benmeihe in the deciding set to help the Chinese team win the championship.

In a recent interview with the Chinese table tennis magazine "Table Tennis World", Chen Meng talked about this. "I defeated Miwa Zhang and regained a lot of self-confidence. At the age of 15 (at the time), Miwa Zhang was very strong in attack and technologically advanced, and I fought desperately", emphasizing the importance of victory.

After winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Meng struggled with the pressure of the "Grand Slam". "I didn't cope well mentally," she recalled, and also talked about practicing too much due to anxiety and having had a lot of injuries in the past.

Regarding the preparations for the Paris Olympics, Chen Meng said: "I want to prepare well and cherish the time I have in the finals of the Olympic Games. "I just thought about how to fight the one in front of me, and I was very mentally calm," she said. ”。

The opponent in the women's singles final of the Paris Olympics is Sun Yingsha, a junior and champion candidate. Chen Meng said that there was no pressure in the final. The gold medal of "I can still win" has a special meaning for her.

In the future, Chen Meng said that he will participate in the table tennis competition of the National Games in November this year to prepare for the final stage of active service. Her story of struggle and growth in the table tennis world will continue to remain in the memory of many people in the future.
