The National Table Tennis team members continue to compete in the New Year, not only the WTT Men's Finals, but also the Doha Planet Challenge and the World Table Tennis Championships team competition. For the men's team, the first major of the new year is the WTT Men's Finals, while for the women's team, they also compete in the Doha Planet Challenge. The official website of the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced an important appointment, and He Xiao will become the leader of the Chinese table tennis team. He Xiao is a two-time Olympic Meritorious Function, and at Rio 2016, he was responsible for external joint work. At the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games, his role was further promoted to be responsible for the entire outreach effort.
As the team leader, He Xiao is responsible for the training arrangements of the athletes, communicating with the outside world, and is equivalent to the project manager. Liu Guoliang did not choose to be re-elected as the team leader, and he will not participate in too much Chinese team affairs, because he is the vice chairman of the international table tennis batch and belongs to the leadership of an international organization. He Xiao has rich experience and profound professionalism in the field of table tennis. He has served as the coach of the Chinese youth table tennis team and has cultivated a group of outstanding young players. In addition, he has also served as the chief referee of international table tennis competitions, and has an in-depth understanding of the rules and procedures of international table tennis events.
Regarding He Xiao's task, the Chinese Table Tennis Association said that this is to better prepare for the Tokyo Olympics and strengthen the management and organization of the national team. At the same time, this is also to further promote the internationalization of Chinese table tennis and improve the international influence of Chinese table tennis. For the Chinese table tennis team, He Xiao's appointment will inject new vitality and ideas, and he will contribute to the development of the Chinese table tennis team with a new perspective and concept. I believe that under his leadership, the Chinese table tennis team will be able to achieve more brilliant results in the Tokyo Olympics.
Of course, He Xiao's promotion did not happen overnight, and it took great effort and hard work to be promoted from translator to team leader in just a few years. His successful experience not only demonstrates his personal talent and hard work, but also shows that the Chinese table tennis team attaches great importance to talent training. After He Xiao became the general team leader, his responsibility has become even greater, and he will lead the Chinese table tennis team to achieve better results in the Olympic Games and win glory for the country. His team will face strong opponents from all over the world, but He Xiao is confident that he will lead the team to overcome all difficulties and achieve victory.
