On December 23, 2019, the "Sports Star award 2019 Ceremony" co-sponsored by Weibo and Sina Sports was held in Beijing Starlight Vision Center! Table tennis Grand Slam player Zhang Jike was also invited and won the most popular athlete of 2019 award .
Zhang jike accepted an exclusive interview with Sina Sports:
Sina Sports: I am very happy to be able to communicate face-to-face with Olympic champion Zhang Jike. I heard that you are now promoting a table tennis project for college students. Can you tell us why there is such a concept?
Zhang Jike: I mainly hope that through my own efforts, college students and children can truly understand the sport. There are some studies in the university. You should take some time to participate in sports outside the main class, not just table tennis. Maybe my major is table tennis (so I chose to promote table tennis), and I myself have the obligation to initiate and promote it so that they can have some training outside of class.
Many of the talents selected in the United States are selected in universities. Do not ignore the level and talents of the children in the university. From a personal perspective, I still hope to pass some good ping-pong team traditions and some good experiences to myself. They, I hope they have more time to like sports, be able to love sports, and most importantly, be truly exposed to the value of each item.
Sina Sports: How many universities have you been to this year?
Zhang Jike: I went to Beijing University of Sport, but there are many college students from other schools who will also come to participate in this promotion. The main thing is to allow them to communicate. They have also interacted in the past few times. I also hope that they can communicate outside of normal classes. Because there are many universities across the country, I also hope that they can have more time to communicate in normal times, not just table tennis, basketball or other sports.
Sina Sports: This year ’s Jike also has a lot of identities, including “fire ambassadors” and “nylon mentors”. You also co-organized various activities with the China Poverty Alleviation Program Foundation to participate in public affairs as sports people. Have a deeper experience? What unforgettable experiences and stories.
Zhang Jike: Each status has different feelings. I mainly want to work with you to promote positive energy activities and do it with everyone. The main hope is to convey the spirit of sports.
Sina Sports: What do college students or other people think of table tennis?
Zhang Jike: It is more difficult for people who have not touched table tennis, because it is more difficult to get started. Unlike badminton . table tennis is a form of two people confronting each other. One player cannot play .
. Basketball can be shot by one person. Table tennis requires two people to play against each other. If you can feel the charm of this sport, it will be very interesting. we encourage everyone to learn more about the sport before participating.
Sina Sports: At the end of the year, it is also time to summarize. This year is also a very fulfilling year for you. If you use one word to describe 2019, how would you describe it?
Zhang Jike: I think everyone should realize their own life value in different fields. It should be busy. Sometimes competition training will be more fulfilling; sometimes you feel that training competitions will be boring, and more exposure to some different areas of work or environment can make you more fulfilled.
Sina Sports: This is also a very rare time to interview with you, so we have collected some questions from netizens online. The first one: Under your influence, more and more people like table tennis. think of your child , How old is better to practice table tennis?
Zhang Jike: I think it's about 5 years old.
Sina Sports: Why do you say that?
Zhang Jike: I started to play table tennis when I was 4 and a half years old. I was relatively early because my father was a professional table tennis player. I think that the age of 0 to 4 years is the development stage of children, including some stages of bone or whole body development. I don't think it is suitable for a strong training environment.
Sina Sports: What positive energy do you think the table tennis will bring to children, and what gains and changes can it bring, which are different from other projects?
Zhang Jike: Table tennis has a whole-body movement. Unlike some other sports, like volleyball or other hand sports, table tennis is a whole body exercise, and one is safer.
Sina Sports: The second question is that table tennis is also a national sport now, and there are also a lot of people involved. Can you give pointers to fans? If you want to play table tennis well, which part of the muscle is more important?
Zhang Jike: In fact, table tennis is a skill-based sport. It doesn't mean you necessarily play well if you're very strong.
Sina Sports: In other words, the whole body must be good.
Zhang Jike: Right.
Sina Sports: OK, there is a link at the end . Tell me your first answer,
Sina Sports: You like dessert very much. Would you choose cake or milk tea?
Zhang Jike: Both are fine.
Sina Sports: A must-have fashion item for Koko.
Zhang Jike: Hat.
Sina Sports: If you watch a movie, would you choose action or comedy?
Zhang Jike: No, my hobby is sleeping.
Sina Sports: If you will spend the holiday with your family next time, will you return to hometown in Qingdao or abroad?
Zhang Jike: Go abroad.
Sina Sports: Thank you.
