1976 65438+ 10/0 Liu was born in fengqiu county, Xinxiang City, Henan Province. His father Liu Zhansheng likes table tennis very much.

However, Liu's grandfather was born in the old Red Army, so he was very opposed to his father's practice of table tennis, thinking that it was all idle. Therefore, even though Liu's father won the team and singles championships in Henan secondary vocational school when he was young, his grandfather still disapproved of his work related to table tennis.

Because, from the beginning, Liu Zhansheng can only follow his father's request to take the official career. It was not until Liu's grandfather 1972 died that he was transferred to Xinxiang Sports Commission according to his own wishes, but he could only work as a table tennis coach because he missed the golden age.

In this way, Liu Zhansheng pinned her dream of becoming a professional table tennis player on her son. Before Liu, there was a son, Liu.

Liu Zhansheng has arranged for his two sons to practice table tennis together. Since childhood, Liu and Liu have practiced table tennis with their father.

At that time, they didn't have any toys except rackets and table tennis at home, not even a picture book. The children in the neighborhood call them "little fools", and even the children in relatives are out of place with them.

365 days a year, training every day, no holidays, no sundays, Liu often eats impatiently with his brother Liu, saying that he is fierce, and the two brothers go straight to the training ground without a few words.

When Liu was about five or six years old, he took him to Beijing to meet the former world women's table tennis champion. When he saw the gold medal, his father asked Liu, "Do you want to touch the gold medal?" Liu Dui nodded and then asked, "Do you want to win the gold medal?" Liu nodded again.

On that day, I told Liu many stories about champions. In Liu's young mind, she began to have a special worship of gold medals and champions.

Liu Zhansheng's severity is well known. The Liu brothers seldom see their father smile. As soon as they heard their father cough, they were honest at once.

Once they don't practice seriously, or the technical movements handed in are slow, then their small hands will be slapped by the board and their buttocks will be slapped.

Once, Liu suddenly had a high fever, and his mother carried him to the hospital for intravenous drip. After that, her mother took him home, and Liu Qu went to the training hall. After going to the training hall, my father arranged his training as usual, as if he didn't know that Liu was ill.

Liu Zhansheng sent himself home, and his mother stood by with tears and said, "You are not allowed to enter the training hall next time." From then on, not only Liu's mother could not enter the hall, but also his grandmother, grandfather and grandmother could not enter.

Brother Liu's hard training soon paid off. First, 65,438+02-year-old brother Liu joined the Henan team, while 65,438+00-year-old brother Liu followed his father to Beijing Shichahai Sports School and played a round of competition.

He swept the whole Shichahai Sports School, and then played seven or eight games in the Beijing table tennis team, only losing one game, showing the strength of not losing professional athletes.

Liu is so outstanding that he is taken by Bayi team. Liu Zhansheng naturally supports his son to join Bayi Team. After all, his father was born in the old Red Army. His father personally sent Liu, who was 10 years old, to the Bayi team and told him, "Guo Liang, you are a soldier now. You have to go by yourself. I will go back."

My father left for three months, and when his parents came to Beijing to visit Liu again, he was already a PLA soldier. On that day, Liu specially asked for leave to accompany his parents to the Summer Palace Park.

On arriving at the park, I saw two soldiers wearing military uniforms and picket armbands coming and saluting Liu Zhansheng, saying, "Comrade, please take off your child's cap badge and collar badge. Jokes are not allowed in military uniforms. This is the rule. "

Liu Zhansheng quickly replied, "He is a soldier." .

Hearing this, the two soldiers said seriously, "How is that possible? If such a big child can be a soldier, the army will become a kindergarten. "

At this time, Liu hurriedly took out his soldier's card from his pocket and handed it to the two soldiers. After a few glances at Liu, they left shyly.

Liu grew very fast in Bayi team, and 1989 was selected for the National Youth Team. Liu, only 199 1 year old, was selected for the national team.

Liu Neng was chosen by the national team so early, mainly because of his unique backhand fast break style. At that time, Sweden's backhand play and South Korea's backhand curveball play gave China players a headache.

At the 1992 China Grand Prix, it was also proved that the national team chose Liu correctly. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, he won the competition in a row with Waldner of Sweden, Jin Zezhu of South Korea and Li Gen of North Korea.

However, Liu soon encountered setbacks. 1993 World Table Tennis Championships, Liu participated in the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time, and was eliminated in the first round of singles, and the team competition also performed poorly.

Since then, Liu's ability has been questioned. In the next two or three years, Liu will hardly have any chance to participate in the world series, which is of course his chance.

Without much time to participate in the game, Liu began to practice his skills. At that time, the players of the national team didn't have as much training time as Liu.

By 1994, Liu missed the Hiroshima Asian Games, but the World Cup was held at the same time as the Asian Games, so Liu was sent to the World Cup as the "China Second Team" by the national team.

But no one expected that this "China No.2 Team" would perform well. They even defeated Sweden, the last World Cup champion and three consecutive World Table Tennis Championships, in the final.

In this way, Liu gradually grew up. 1996, Liu and Kong won the men's doubles championship in the China Table Tennis Association Cup for the first time and won the third place in the men's singles.

At the same time, he successfully became one of the team members preparing for the 26th Atlanta Olympic Games, and worked hard together with Kong, Wang Tao and Ding Song to prepare for the Olympic Games. He is in high spirits and full of confidence in himself.

However, compared with his teammates in the same period, Liu's performance was not the best. Wang Tao was the last Olympic champion, Kong was the men's singles champion in the 1995 World Table Tennis Championships, and only Ding Song stood on the same starting line with him.

There are only three places in the official competition, so one of the four of them can't go to the Olympic Games. Everyone is secretly fighting, especially Liu and Ding Song, who are training hard.

During this period, Liu almost lost confidence because of a newspaper, but later his teacher Cai Zhenhua gave him great confidence, and Liu was finally selected for the Atlanta Olympic Games.

In this Olympic Games, Liu won the men's singles and men's doubles championships in one fell swoop. After winning the Olympic champion, Liu won the men's singles in the World Cup again in the same year.

At this time, only Liu was left as the champion of men's singles in the World Table Tennis Championships. So in the final of men's singles in the World Table Tennis Championships of 1999, Liu Chenggong finally won the championship and became the first man's grand slam player in China.

In the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Liu was the absolute number one player in the China men's team, but at this time, Liu was actually at the end of his career, so he lost 3-0 to Waldner in the semi-final.

In the end, Kong defeated Waldner 3-2 in the final and won the men's singles title. Kong Huiling sprained her ankle in the second game, but she persisted in the game, leaving a picture of kissing the national flag madly after winning the championship.

After the Sydney Olympic Games, ITTF used table tennis with a larger diameter in the competition, that is, the small ball turned into a big ball, which made Liu's declining state and strength worse.

It can be seen from the 200 1 World Table Tennis Championships that China adopted the lineup of Kong and Liu in the semi-final match against the Korean team.

Liu failed to advance to the Grand Slam, and it is conceivable how much his state declined at that time, which also allowed Liu to hold seven match points.

So in 2002, I chose to retire. After retiring, Liu Congyun mobilized and became a coach. On the first day, he wore athletes' clothes and the next day he wore coaches' clothes.

There is nothing wrong with being a coach. After all, Liu was the first grand slam in China men's table tennis, but not long after he became a coach, Liu became the head coach of the national table tennis men's team.

At that time, Liu was only 27 years old, but if you think about his teacher Cai Zhenhua, who is one of the four famous sports clubs in China, you will understand Cai Zhenhua's expectations of Liu. At that time, although Liu was the head coach of the men's team, Cai Zhenhua was the head coach.

After becoming the head coach, Liu faced the first big exam of Athens Olympic Games, but as a result, as we all know, Wang Hao lost in the men's singles final.

China won three gold medals in men's doubles, women's singles and women's doubles, but losing the gold medal in men's singles obviously made many fans very dissatisfied. After all, China swept all the gold medals in the Atlanta Olympic Games and the Sydney Olympic Games.

For a time, the topics in Liu's class were also one after another. At the critical moment, Liu's master Cai Zhenhua supported Liu. In fact, Cai Zhenhua had a say in table tennis at that time, that is, he was the director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Center of the State Sports General Administration and the head coach of table tennis.

However, after the Athens Olympic Games, Cai Zhenhua no longer served as the head coach of table tennis, and this position did not appear again in the table tennis arena until nearly 10 years later.

Cai Zhenhua, who no longer served as head coach of table tennis, was soon promoted to assistant director of the State General Administration of Sport. Liu Ye needs to make achievements to prove Cai Zhenhua's vision to some people. Fortunately, Cai Zhenhua has laid a solid foundation for Liu.

So China won the men's team championship in 2004, the men's team championship in the World Table Tennis Championships in 2005, the men's team championship in the Asian Games in 2006 and all five individual championships in the World Table Tennis Championships in 2007.

In 2008, he won the men's team championship in the World Table Tennis Championships, and then won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the men's singles in the Beijing Olympic Games, and then won the men's team championship. At this point, he finally proved his coaching ability to everyone.

During the London Olympics, table tennis continued to do all the work. Even though the women's team lost the women's team championship in the 20 10 World Table Tennis Championships in Moscow, the men's team led by Liu succeeded in winning the men's team championship.

Especially with the help of Cai Zhenhua (at this time, Cai Zhenhua was already the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports), in 20 13, Liu Cheng was the head coach of table tennis and also the head coach of the men's team.

At this time, the head coach of the women's team became Kong. These two were close partners in the period of athletes, and became partners after becoming coaches.

After becoming the head coach, Liu led the team to continue to write legends, and the Rio Olympic cycle also covered almost all competitions, especially the Rio Olympic Games, which not only won all four gold medals, but also became an "online celebrity team".

After the Rio Olympic Games, ZhangJike, Malone, Liu, Liu and other table tennis coaches and athletes were furious, but at this time, table tennis also exposed some problems.

For example, Kong was exposed to gambling and left the national table tennis team, and Liu was forced to leave the national team because of some incidents. After Liu left the national team, Ma Lin, Qin Zhijian, Fan Zhendong and other coaches and athletes also supported Liu by retiring.

It can be seen that Liu is respected and loved in table tennis, but at the same time, some people think that Liu has too much power in the table tennis team. As soon as he left the national team, the players actually retired directly

This is a joke about national honor, which caused a great sensation at that time and lasted for more than a year. This year's table tennis performance is not very good, and the heat has dropped to a minimum.

By the end of 20 18, Liu had become the president of China Table Tennis Association. Although he did not directly return to the national table tennis team, the position of the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association is higher than that of the head coach of the National Table Tennis Association.

After Liu took office again, he quickly disrupted the personnel layout, and the coaches who were expelled from the national team because of him, such as Jean and Qin Zhijian, returned again.

At the same time, it also docked with the media, which made the popularity of table tennis rise again. 20 19 Budapest World Table Tennis Championships is the first competition after Liu's return, and China finally won all five gold medals in this World Table Tennis Championships.

Facts have proved that Liu is the best leader in table tennis. With him, the players have become orderly in training and personal life.

However, Liu does have a lot of black material, but there is a controversial person in every successful project in China!
