Yang Ying's Dream |
| └(Taken from "China Sports" magazine) |
| Yang Ying,
a 20-year-old girl from Xuzhou in northwestern Jiangsu Province, has dreamt of becoming a
world star since childhood. Her dream has come true this year. At the 44th World Table
Tennis Championships held in Manchester last April 26 - May 5, she was a member of the
Chinese team which won the championship in the women's team event, and she paired up with
Deng Yaping to win the women's doubles. Using the traditional pen-hold grip, Yang Ying is a player known for her fierce fast attacks. Lively and easygoing like a little boy when she was a small child, Yang Ying used to spend her time on the playground of a primary school near her house in Xuzhou. Besides dancing, she liked to practice Chinese shadow-boxing. When she imitated the movements of a drunkard in practicing zuiquan (drunkard's boxing - 醉拳 ), she always brought roars of laughter from the onlookers. It happened one day that this frolicsome little girl caught the attention of the school's PE teacher who asked her: "Do you like to play table tennis?" Yang Ying looked askance at the man standing in front of her and said: "I like to practice the drunkard's shadow-boxing!" "I am asking you whether you like to play table tennis," the teacher said in a serious tone. The little girl just nodded, not knowing exactly what all this meant. That was how Yang Ying took up table tennis. As she grew up, she proved to be a player with great promise. She received training at the Xuzhou junior sports school and was later recruited by the Jiangsu provincial team. At that time, it was becoming increasingly popular among the players to use the tennis grip, but Yang Ying kept to the pen-hold grip which, according to her coach, suited her best. In 1991 when she was only 14, Yang Ying won a place on the national junior team. Towards the end of that year she went to Europe to participate in the Poland Open tournament. She and her partners won the gold in the women's doubles and the mixed doubles, while she herself took the silver in the women's singles. Her success boosted her world ranking to No. 18. Three months later, she took part in the 1992 World Youth Table Tennis Championships held in Japan along with her teammates Deng Yaping and Li Ju. Together they took the women's team title. In October 1993 she became a regular member of the national team. She trained hard in the hope of realizing her dream to be a world champion. But in 1995 when she competed in the 43rd World Table Tennis Championships held in Tianjin, her hope was dashed to pieces for she flopped in all the events she took part. Failure is the mother of success. Yang Ying trained harder than before in the next two years. When she participated in the 44th World Table Tennis Championships in Manchester this year, she was in the team's main lineup. Her long-cherished wish of winning a world title was fulfilled. Not resting on her laurels, Yang Ying is now preparing for the next World TT Championships and the 2000 Sydney Olympics. |
