I chose this video because Wang Liqin's victory in this match is truly inspiring.
You can clearly see Wang Liqin's concentration and motivation in his eyes. Throughout the first 2 sets Ma Lin is just Beasting and Wang Liqin can't quite keep up. Ma Lin is cheering loud with motivation and determination. He is really Hyped up and eager to win. Not only to win the title but to take it off his biggest rival.
Wang Liqin managed to get the upper hand in the 3rd set winning it comfortably. But the determined Ma Lin came straight back at him in the 4th giving Wang Liqin no time to think he will take this match.
But what happens next is truly what inspires me. All that pressure and on top of that playing an absolutely amazing player who is beasting right at the time playing at his top level and yet STILL keeps his motivation going. Wang Liqin is just super determined and wants the title so bad he starts beast himself playing at his top level. The match becomes so explosive with both players cheering hard and loud fighting fighting fighting. Pulling out the trump cards.
Ma Lin can feel Wang Liqin now has the game to win but refuses to let it be. But Wang Liqin goes all Bruce Lee and shows the world how much he wants it.
The 7th and final set was just so electrifying and extremely tense and entertaining to watch that my heart began to skip beats, my palms sweaty, throat dry and ready to scream.
Wang Liqin is victorious. His passion truly shows just how happy he is winning the gold for the 3rd time. He goes down in history and becomes a legend.
