First place: Prince of gymnastics Li Ning.
Li Ning is a famous gymnast in China. He won all the championships in his career. Li Ning won more than 65,438+000 gold medals as an athlete and is a veritable world champion. After retiring, Li Ning went into business and founded the sports brand Li Ning. Now Li Ning has gone international and become China Li Ning.
Leading a new generation of national brands, and becoming a leader among sports brands in China. In terms of professional achievements and influence in the world, Li Ning is the first among athletes.
Second place: Deng Yaping
Deng Yaping is a famous table tennis player in China and the first table tennis player to win four gold medals in the history of the Olympic Games. During Deng Yaping's period, table tennis in China reached its peak, and there were almost no rivals in the world, so that the table tennis champion was monopolized by China athletes.
Third place: Yao Ming.
Yao Ming's influence in the world is also high. It is no exaggeration to say that there are fans of Yao Ming all over the world, because the ratings of NBA are distributed all over the world, and Yao Ming, once the first center in the league, naturally gets a lot of attention. Yao Ming is by far the most successful Asian in NBA. He represents not only China, but also Asia.
Yao Ming's success also inspired the confidence of future generations to go abroad. Yi Jianlian, Ding Yanyuhang and qi zhou all went to the United States for experience. Today, Yao Ming has become the president of the Basketball Association, committed to the reform of professional basketball in China, and continues to contribute to the basketball cause.
Fourth place: Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang, a former flying man, is the world champion of men's 1 10 meter hurdles, and once broke the world record. He is definitely a once-in-a-century talent in China sports. After Liu Xiang retired, many coaches were very sorry, saying that there might be another strong player in track and field in China, but it is difficult to have a super genius like Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang is the first Asian athlete to stand on the podium of the short track champion, and its historical position is no less than that of Yao Ming.
Fifth place: Dānlín.
Finally, I want to talk about Dānlín, an excellent badminton player in China. At its peak, Dānlín had almost no rivals in the world, and the only one who could compete with it was Malaysian player Li Zongwei. Dānlín won many world championships for the China badminton team and was the first badminton player to win a grand slam.
