Recently, Ma Long was selected to be the Chinese delegate for the Asian Olympic Qualifier. This also means that if he would win in the trials, he will enter into the list for the Chinese Men lineup in London. With this, the current world's number one said that he hopes to ultimately participate in London and to achieve good results. Meanwhile, Ma Lin, as a sportsman himself, unconditionally accepted with the decision of the coaches.
Ma Long was in a very powerful state in the recently concluded World Team Championships in Dortmund where he didn't lose a single set in all six matches that he played. Particularly in the most critical point in the tournament where China encountered Germany, Ma Long maintained a powerful performance and completed another sweep victory against Dimitrij Ovtcharov despite the pressure from the crowd.
"I was both nervous and excited because in a big competition like this, every person has this kind of feeling. This is already my second time to be in the finals of the World Team Championships. I lost the first time so I was able to grasp the right mental state." Ma Long said in review of his performance in Dortmund.
In the Beijing Olympics, Ma Long was just a sparring partner. This year, Ma Long tries to be in the lineup and his first step towards such goal is the Asian Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
"Having to participate in the Olympic Trials also proves such strength to myself. I just hope that through my efforts, I will be able to go to London and have good results." Ma long admitted.
Meanwhile, after not being eligible for the qualification, the reigning Olympic champion Ma Lin unconditionally submitted with the arrangement of the coaching staff. In the finals of the World Team Championships in Dortmund, Ma Lin shouldered the task of a sparring partner. He said that the Olympics is the greatest game where they can represent the glory of their motherland and upholding such glory should be their ultimate goal.
