China’s table tennis industry is developing steadily. From Liu Guoliang to Zhang Jike, from Deng Yaping to Zhang Yining, generations of Chinese table tennis players have used their youth and blood to help the national table tennis advance. They are all worthy of our Respected people. Kong Linghui and Liu Guoliang were athletes of the same period. He was also a world champion and a big shot in the table tennis world. Unlike Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui has not always been a coach. Now Kong Linghui has officially announced his comeback and has condescended to become Chongqing coach! Kong Linghui
The young Kong Linghui is known as the "Prince of Table Tennis". He has won many world championships in his career and is the "Grand Slam" winner in the men's table tennis singles at the World Table Tennis Championships, World Cup and Olympic Games. Kong Linghui is very talented in table tennis. Not only did he perform very well as a player, he also achieved good results after becoming a coach. After retiring in 2006, he served as the coach of the Chinese women's table tennis team. Then he became the head coach in 2013 and resigned in 2017.
The National Table Tennis Youth Championship was launched, and Kong Linghui’s name appeared on the list of Chongqing coaches. What is certain is that Kong Linghui has made a comeback with the Chongqing team, but it is a pity that he has not been able to coach the national team. But no matter which team you coach, you are cultivating table tennis talents for the country. As long as you do your job well, you can still achieve something. Just like the National Youth Championship, the future of Chinese table tennis may lie with these childish children.
The reason why Kong Linghui resigned as head coach in 2017 was because he was riddled with scandals at the time. Firing Guo Yue and suspending Liu Shiwen were not the reasons that ultimately led to his inability to continue coaching women's table tennis. If you want to gain a foothold in the national team, you must have good character and credibility in addition to strength. The Japanese team is on the rise, and now the national team is in great need of capable coaches. If Kong Linghui has always been good, the current situation of women's table tennis may be better.
