Sometimes its hard to get such a good look at the past of our great sport, so over the past few months, I have made it my duty to find the best photos from our sport over the past 30 years. here are some I'd like to share. The Great Wall  Rong Guotuan, Li Furong, Zhuang Zedong  1986 Asian Cup, won by Wei Qingguang (pictured)  He Zhiwen, when he still played for China  He Zhili, the chinese ex-patriot who in 87, won the women's singles gold in New Delhi, as well as three ATTC titles (for China) and one for Japan, where she beat Deng Yaping in the final (one of Deng's hand full of losses)  The great Jiang Jialiang, twice in a row a winner of the WTTC  Chen Jing, the first Olympian     Wei Qingguang and Chen Longcan  Deng Yaping, Chen Jing, Qiao Hong  Wei Qingguang found immense success after leaving China, being one of Japan's most dominant players, and after retiring a valued coach.   Even Chen Longcan played in the JTTL for awhile, though by this time in the very early 90s, his career had finally come to a close.  |

True - but it was Zedong who was at a crossroads and was the one who made the decision whether to speak with an American or not... |

Check out this one http://oldphotosjapan.com/en/photos/321/practicing-table-tennis - http://oldphotosjapan.com/en/photos/321/practicing-table-tennis Back in 1935 they were already using J-Pen shaped paddles! this means that shape is older than period after WWII when supposedly TT became more popular in the East after USA/UK influence has increased there significantly. ------------- Single Ply Hinoki Club, Founding Member Say "no!" to expensive table tennis equipment.

My Chinese coach told me that this handsome young man Wang Tao has became a Major General of the Liberation Army and is still currently active with the Army's Team 81 where Wang Hao was trained as a junior. By the way LGL also came from Team 81. ------------- Eric Yu 1st Blade: KTS Red + Omega II, Tenergy 64 2nd Blade: Butterfly Haruvatart-S ZL Carbon + Omega III, Tenergy 05 Dream Blade:Special Cypress Custom (Special Royal Treasure Art Product)+ Narucr |

In '85 he partnered Fan Changmao to the semi-final (and made the last 16 of the singles). In '87 he partnered Jiang Jialiang to the QF, and He Zhili (that years women's world champion) in the Mixed, where they also made the QF. I guess he left China, along with lots of others, when he lost his place in the National squad but was free to play abroad.

Interesting, I was curious to see who won the mixed doubles that year, and surprisingly it was Hui Jun (who I've never even heard of) and Geng Lijuan (runner up to Cao Yanhua in 85). I'm surprised He and He (haha) didn't win that year, considering she won singles and went undefeated in team events.

Hui Jun won the Asian Cup in '84, and was RU in the Asian Games in '86. I think Doubles was his speciality,he and Teng Yi won the Asian Games and Asian Champs in '86, but were surprised in the '87 Worlds by a pair from Taipei. He got to the last 8 of the singles without dropping a game but was blasted away by Jiang. As to the Mixed Doubles, Hui and Geng beat He and He (hehe) in the QF. It was probably fixed; back then when China were so dominant, they liked to give as many people as possible a share of the medals, it seems.

That picture with China 1st/2nd/3rd in the women's singles (1988 Olympics in South Korea). Jiao Zhimin got a bronze but she knew it would at least be a silver and possibly a gold. She was told to lose in the semi-final. A possible first ever Olympics TT Gold medal she was ordered to give up...  A final between Chen Jing and Jiao Zhimin would have been more interesting and exciting.

I don't think he'd won World's at this point. Just an up-and-comer.

This has been discussed recently. Jiao Zhimin was ordered to throw the Olympic semi; she says as much in a recent interview which ShaolinTT will remember the link for. The reason was thus: in the '87 Worlds Jiao was surpirisingly beaten in the last 16 by Hrachova of Czechoslovakia. In Seoul Hrachova reached the semi-final to face Chen Jing. If Jiao beat Li Huifen in the other semi, she might end up facing Hrachova in the Final, and possibly lose again, so that China would lose the Gold despite having three semi-finalists. So Jiao was ordered to lose. As it happened, Chen beat Hrachova comfortably, and eventually so did Jiao, in the Bronze match. Which must have really pissed her off, a hollow victory.

Yeah, we can always add a lot of "ifs". If He Zhili was allowed to play. If Cao Yanhua did not quit TT abruptly at her prime. She now says that looking back, she would have stayed on to play the 1st Olympics TT. I am not saying Chen Jing doesn't deserve her Gold. She is a great player. All these ladies are great players and great people. "If" they are players of today, be allowed to compete fairly, that would be nice! |
