Part 5: DECEMBER 31 WEIBO UPDATES: NVPING

Pressure, power and hard work! This is Ding Ning's favorite "three forces". With this in mind, she took the 2011 World Championships and World Cup doubles. As one of Nvping's future stars, we wish Ding Ning the best for 2012!

Liu Shiwen during physical training. Enhancing the lethal forehand and strengthening the muscles - this is the focus of the winter training. Liu Shiwen won 3 singles titles this year. We look forward to a breakthrough in 2012!

Muzi: In one minute, a destiny of a person can change. In my case, a ball can change mine. Goodbye.. Beijing.

Nvping museum in the training hall. Warm and memorable photos.

That's a common training technique for Liu Gouliang. The two players try to play ony forehand => the balls have a very good quality => it's hard for Xu Xin to bring them back
