Malone Gilte Hotel

On July 30th, Beijing time, on the seventh match day of Tokyo Olympic Games, the highly anticipated men's singles final of table tennis officially started. As both finalists are members of the China table tennis team, for many fans, this game is far less exciting than the semi-final. This champion is so cute. Who will Malone give it to after winning the championship? You may not believe it.

At the Rio Olympic Games five years ago, Malone won the first Olympic champion in his career, and his opponent was ZhangJike, the 20 12 London Olympic champion. Compared with the rapid rise of ZhangJike, Malone's growth is more like the accumulation of a long stream of water. It is this unhurried persistence that makes Malone the first player in China history to defend the Olympic table tennis men's singles champion.

In the history of table tennis development in China, there are many talented and powerful people like Malone, but they all lack Malone's persistence and tenacity. Before the final, most fans didn't believe that Malone could defend his title, because Fan Zhendong was in full swing and he beat many table tennis players in succession. The battle with Lin Yunru also made him grow a lot, but Malone beat Fan Zhendong, 24, with his own experience and strength.

What can the 33-year-old veteran do for the championship? Malone told everyone that he can do it desperately. Judging from Malone's bags under his eyes, he probably hasn't had a good sleep for a long time. He is really tired, and there may also be reasons for the imperfect infrastructure of the Tokyo Olympic Village. Fans can clearly feel Malone's fatigue. Maybe it's time for the veteran to quit.

At the end of the game, Malone raised his arm high and showed great love, just like when he won the championship in Rio Olympic Games, but this time he was much bigger than his heart. Some people may wonder who his love is for, and Malone himself has not responded too much. But judging from Malone's daily life, this love is for himself, his family and the whole table tennis team. I hope Guo Ping can successfully win the gold medals in the men's and women's teams in the next competition.
