Wang Chuqin talks about three events in the Paris Olympics: physical and mental exhaustion, but in order to win, I can give everything

In front of CCTV camera, the 25-year-old world champion admitted that every day during the Olympics was like a "marathon", but he was always driven forward by a force. On the evening of May 30, in the trailer of "Face to Face to Face: Wang Chuqin's Transformation" to be broadcast by CCTV, Wang Chuqin opened his heart for the first time about the unforgettable experience of the Paris Olympics in three events: "It is like a marathon, and it is a person you have to continue to maintain high concentration. Only after you spend this day can you live to the next day, and then you still have to go all out to compete for victory and live next day." This table tennis player who just won the men's singles championship in the World Table Tennis Championships faced the host's questioning , he admitted that fatigue could not be avoided: "There will be certainly, but at that time, you can only digest it yourself. You have to enlighten yourself so that you don't feel tired." At the Paris Olympics, Wang Chuqin, as the only Chinese men's table tennis player who plays three events, carried unprecedented pressure. The heavy responsibility of mixed doubles, men's singles, teams, and three-line combat was pressed on the shoulders of a young man who was only 24 years old at that time. Before the opening of the Olympics, Wang Chuqin knew the particularity of his energy allocated. He admitted: "I put 80 or even 90% of my energy into the mixed doubles competition." Because the first table tennis gold medal in the Paris Olympics was a mixed doubles event, this gold medal carried the special mission of the Chinese table tennis team. In the Olympics, Wang Chuqin and his partner Sun Yingsha lived up to expectations and won the first Olympic champion in the history of the Chinese delegation. However, in the men's singles, he accidentally stopped at the top 32, setting the worst record in the history of the national table tennis men's singles Olympics

The racket accident became the turning point of the Olympics. Wang Chuqin later recalled: "The worst was that when Coach Xiao gave me the broken ball board, he was very helpless and collapsed. I have never heard of such a thing happening." This accident brought him a huge psychological impact! In addition, the physical energy consumption of three events is far beyond his imagination. Before the Olympics, senior Xu Xin gave him a special suggestion: "It takes a very long time to consume three events, and the physical fitness requirements are particularly high. For Wang Chuqin, he should increase some fat, so that he can better protect his muscles." Wang Chuqin followed the advice to gain a few kilograms, but the intensity of the Olympic schedule is still far beyond his expectations

Facing the CCTV camera, Wang Chuqin gave his interpretation of his belief: "Belief is actually to win, and he wants to keep winning one by one. I can give everything for this win!" This simple and powerful confession reveals the inner world of top athletes. This belief originated from Wang Chuqin's special growth experience. When he was weak and sick, his mother led him to table tennis in order to strengthen his physical fitness. When he was young, Wang Chuqin cried and wanted to go home due to strict physical training, but persisted with his mother's encouragement. This belief was particularly prominent in the trough. After the Olympics, Wang Chuqin experienced three months of difficult times. He even admitted that he had "thought on table tennis", but he finally walked out of the vortex of negative energy and regained his fighting spirit

The three events brought not only physical fitness tests, but also psychological extreme challenges. Wang Chuqin was under unimaginable pressure during the Olympics. Later, he admitted that he was afraid of this and that, and was afraid of his hands and feet, and he became less and less like himself. In addition, he had three events and gave him many tests in time. Wang Chuqin also mentioned the challenges brought by objective conditions. After the mixed doubles final, he received a stimulant test and returned to the Olympic Village for one hour. With meals, meetings, watching videos, and treatment, there was not much time left for real rest. These details reveal the unknown hardships in top events. During his reflection, Wang Chuqin found the source of strength. In an interview after the Olympics, he revealed that he would take out a letter written by his mother when he was 18 years old: "I will read it many times and I am very moved. I think everyone has their own difficulties. I was born in a family with a very good atmosphere. They brought me a very correct outlook on life and values." The support of his family has become an important force for him to overcome difficulties

From the P-Card boy in the Tokyo Olympics to the main force in the third line of the Paris Olympics, Wang Chuqin took every step solid and powerful. Now, the 25-year-old world champion has emerged from the shadow of the Olympics, winning the first Asian Cup championship in 2025 and the first singles championship of the three major competitions... When asked about the future, Wang Chuqin's eyes were firm: "My expectations and requirements for myself in 2025 are to maintain a healthy mentality and mood to play, and work hard to play every game." The fire of faith has not yet expired, and the Los Angeles Olympic cycle has quietly started
