Chen Meng, the world’s number one table tennis player and the most handsome person in the national table tennis team, was so cute when he was interviewed at the age of 14: “Besides training, I usually prefer to sleep.”

This hobby is also amazing. It is exactly the same as her roommate and teammate Sun Yingsha, who loves to sleep.

Former national table tennis player Qiao Yunping is the world champion in the group of Deng Yaping and Liu Wei. After retiring, she coached the Shandong team. Speaking of the first time he met Chen Meng, Director Qiao still remembers it fresh.

Qiao Yunping: When I first met her, she was recommended by a local coach. After she came, I felt that this child was very good at playing basketball and would not admit defeat to anyone. Oh, I think this child seems to have a bit of a "little tiger" spirit, and I have a deep impression on her. When she came, it should be said that technically, her strengths were more prominent and her loopholes were more obvious.

14-year-old Chen Meng: Apart from training, I usually like to sleep. Maybe it’s because you don’t have much time to sleep during training, so you can make up for it if you have time after completing training. I usually like to listen to music. Before training, we will wear headphones and listen to music. I feel that this will make us feel good.

Time flies, Chen Meng is already a 26-year-old girl, and is a core member of the national table tennis women's team. Although she has not yet won a Grand Slam singles championship, she has the best record against Mima Ito and has won 4 consecutive times. Not only has she never lost, but she has also defeated her in two finals.

When Ding Ning lost to Ito 0-11 and Liu Shiwen suffered an elbow injury, Chen Meng is the current "ballast stone" of the women's team.

With the epidemic raging in 2020, the national table tennis team is currently training in Macau. The team held a mixed team round-robin competition, and Chen Meng's partner was Fan Zhendong. After Xu Xin and Ma Long, Fan Zhendong is the future leader of the national table tennis men's team. Liu Guoliang arranged for Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong to partner up. He had high hopes.

Beautiful dream, can you qualify for the Tokyo Olympics in singles in 2021?
