In this issuePortraitsZhang Jike.
On February 16, 1988, a controversial future Olympic champion Zhang Jike was born in Qingdao, Shandong Province.
Zhang Jike's father, Zhang Chuanming, was a children's table tennis coach at Qingdao No. 2 Stadium at the time, and he was also the initiation coach of Zhang Jike's career.
Hereinafter referred to as Zhang's father).
When Zhang Jike was only 5 years old, his father made a decision, that is, to make Zhang Jike an athlete.
But at the beginning, he wanted Zhang Jike to play football.
Zhang Jike's name also** To a Brazilian footballer named Zico
However, Zhang Jike's football career was kicked away by the national football team before it began.
In the qualifiers for the 1994 Football World Cup, the national football team lost to Yemen, which has a population of just over 20 million.
As a result, Zhang's father felt that playing football in China had no future.
But now that I think about it, I don't know if Dad Zhang's decision was right or wrong, and then Dad Zhang started devilish training for Zhang Jike.
Zhang Jike's childhood and youth did not have much entertainment.
There are justEndless frog jumps, one-legged jumps, cross-stepping, side-by-side, stride-and-jump jumps
And only the first day of the Lunar New Year can be taken off one day off every year.
In addition, when Zhang Jike was 7 years old, his father took him to swim in the sea to exercise his physical coordination.
So, when Zhang Jike grew up, he lied that he couldn't swim, because he saidWhen I see the sea, I want to vomit
What is also laughable is that Dad Zhang thinks that the shape of shrimp is like an arc, so he thinks that eating more shrimp can pull out a good arc ball.
So Zhang Jike ate a very, very large amount of shrimp when he was a child, which led him to nowNever eat shrimp again.
These almost cruel trainings made Zhang Jike inevitably fall into the shadows.
As a result, he also alienated himself from his parents.
But it is undeniable that the inhuman training has indeed created Zhang Jike's extraordinary ball skills.
In the game of his peers, he has no opponents, invincible, and a child with one goal.
In 1998, he joined the professional team in Qingdao.
And in 2000, he entered the Shandong Luneng table tennis team.
He then made his mark in various competitions.
In March 2002, Zhang Jike entered the national second team and won the team championship of the Korea Open.
In June of the same year, he won the championship of the men's singles, doubles and team competitions of the first Hungarian World Junior Challenge.
In September, he won the men's singles championship at the U21 Japan Open.
In January of the following year, because of his excellent record, he entered the national first team, and he was guided by the fat man Liu Guoliang, who didn't seem to be very good at playing.
After joining the national team, he won the men's singles title at the World Junior Tour New Zealand Open in September.
In 2004, Zhang Jike also won the team championship of the Asian Junior Championships, and these near-perfect results made Zhang Jike very confidentThere are even some arrogant and impetuous, and no one is in sight.
Just in October of '04,Zhang Jike actually borrowed the bank card of a table tennis team celebrity to participate in gambling games.
I think Zhang Jike can do such an outrageous thing, on the one hand, his results over the years have been relatively good, which makes him a little floating, thinking that even if he does, the national team is reluctant to do anything to himself.
On the other hand, the reason may be due to the excessively harsh training when he was a child, which caused him to feel a little depressedAt the same time, there is also a lack of education in some cultural courses and some literacy.
Because of serious violations of team rules, Zhang Jike was returned to the Shandong provincial team.
At this time, Zhang Jike was only 16 years old, and after being expelled from the national team, Zhang Jike was very disappointed, and even wanted to give up playing in China, but he cheered up with the comfort of his father and coach.
Subsequently, during the two years of provincial team training, he attended classes during the dayIn the evenings, when others are resting, they often practice by themselves
Although there is some controversy in character, Zhang Jike really has nothing to say about hard practice.
With talent and hard practice, in 2005, Zhang Jike won the singles championship in the National Outstanding Youth Adjustment Tournament.
In 06, Zhang Jike reached the quarterfinals of the national championship and returned to the national first team.
Zhang Jike, who returned to the national team, was stunned.
Many of his teammates who were not as good as themselves before have already won the championship.
He then competed at the 2007 World Championships, where he competed in the mixed doubles competition, but stopped in the round of 64.
But in the national championships in November 08, Zhang Jike defeated Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, and Wang Hao.
They are the men's singles medalists of the Beijing Olympics, gold, bronze and silver medalists.
In the end, Zhang Jike won the men's singles championship of the competition.
This made many people know about the young man for the first time.
The outstanding performance made Zhang Jike quickly become the key training object of the national team.
In the list of eight main forces established at the National Table Tennis Work Conference in February 09.
Zhang Jike ranked 7th.
But at this time, Zhang JikeIt's a moth again.
In March, China held a round-robin selection tournament within the team, competing for seven singles spots, and Zhang Jike ranked fourth among them.
But in the game, when the head coach Zhong Yong asked for a timeout, Zhang Jike refused to leave the field, which made Liu Guoliang very angry and directly criticized Zhang Jike in front of the **.
In the end, Zhang Jike's direct access to Yokohama was even canceled.
However, he still won the third place in the men's doubles and the second place in the mixed doubles in the event.
At the end of the same year, Zhang Jike defeated the South Korean veteran in the final of the World Cup table tennis team competition held in Linz.
scored a crucial point for the Chinese team and finally won the championship.
This is also the first world championship in Zhang's career.
Next, in the team final of the Asian Championships, they defeated Japanese rookies Mizutani Hayabusa and Kenta Matsudaira one after another to win the championship for the Chinese team.
In the World Cup in October 10, Zhang Jike replaced Ma Long, who had a foot injury, and participated in the singles of the three major tournaments for the first time.
Among them, he played against Mizutani Hayabusa in four games, and reversed four games in a row after falling behind 0:3, which is also his famous work on the international stage.
But in the end, he lost to teammate Wang Hao in the final and won the runner-up.
After this battle, Zhang Jike also entered the peak of his career and had a place in the men's table tennis with many monsters.
In the World Table Tennis Finals in France the following year, Zhang Jike took revenge 4:2 and Wang Hao won the championship in singles for the first time at the World Table Tennis Championships.
Then he tore his clothes angrily to celebrate, and also created a classic scene of Zhang Jike.
This is tooThe first national table tennis player to tear off his jersey after winning the championship.
Just kidding here, I think Wang Hao probably won't dare to tear his clothes after winning the championship, because his small belly will be exposed.
In the World Cup final held in Paris, France in the same year, Zhang Jike defeated Wang Hao again 4:2 and won the World Cup championship for the first time.
At the same time, he also became the third player to win the men's singles championship at the World Championships and the World Cup in the same year, after Persson in 1991 and Kong Linghui in 1995.
In the men's singles final of the 2012 London Olympic Games, Zhang Jike defeated Wang Hao, the second thousand-year-old man, 4:1 again and won the championship.
At the same time, he also achieved the Grand Slam of three championships, World Cup and Olympic Games.
became the third Grand Slam player in the history of Chinese men's table tennis after his mentors Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui.
He is also the fastest player to win a Grand Slam in just 445 days
Since then, Zhang Jike has become famous, and most of the audience also recognized this Tibetan mastiff who looks a little ruffian and is arrogant on the court, Zhang Jike.
In the following years, Zhang Jike carried out medal harvesting, and in the same year, he also continued to be popular in China.
Here are some of the more important ones.
On May 20, 2013, Zhang Jike defeated his old opponent Wang Hao again and again in the men's singles final of the 52nd World Table Tennis Championships and successfully won the men's singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships.
At the same time, he also became the seventh World Table Tennis Men's Singles champion in the world to successfully defend his title.
On October 26, 2014, in the final of the men's World Cup in Germany, Zhang Jike defeated Ma Long 4:3 to win the men's singles gold medal, which was alsoHe participated in the men's singles tournament for the fifth time in a row, and all of them reached the top.
This also means that he is only 16 years away from winning gold at the Rio Olympics in 16 years before his second Grand Slam.
However, the proud achievements can't hide Zhang Jike's own angerAfter winning the championship, he kicked the billboard and tore off his clothes many timesto celebrate winning the game, these somewhat arrogant behaviors also caused him to be booed and scolded by many people.
He won the World Cup in Germany in 14 years, and it was also Zhang Jike's last singles championship in a major tournament.
Subsequently, Zhang Jike began to decline due to injuries and other reasons.
In May 2015, after Zhang Jike reached the semifinals of the men's singles competition at the 53rd World Table Tennis Championships, he lost to his teammate Fang Bo and finally won the bronze medal.
In July, Zhang Jike was diagnosed with bilateral lumbar bone fractures, which meant that he needed to control the intensity of his training, and his explosive advantage on the court was also greatly limited.
In August 16, Zhang Jike lost 0:4 to Ma Long in the men's singles final of the Rio Olympics and won the silver medal.
It is worth mentioning that in the men's singles 1 4 finals, Zhang Jike met Niwa Takako, and the sleepy Zhang Jike lost 5:11 in the first game.
Liu Guoliang, the head coach at the time, did not assign any modifications to Zhang Jike's tactics, but just said some memorable words.
It's not okay to play like this, you have to wake up.
Subsequently, Zhang Jike woke up and quickly became a hot stalk on the Internet.
It is also a turning point for Zhang Jike to cross over to the entertainment industry.
After the 16 Olympic Games, Zhang Jike gradually faded out of the sports circle.
In the World Table Tennis Championships in Düsseldorf in June 17, Zhang Jike lost to Li Shangzhu with an injury and stopped in the top 32, which was also Zhang Jike's last game in the three major events.
In January 19, Zhang Jike withdrew from the World Table Tennis Championships in 19 because of no systematic training and went straight to the qualifiers.
Subsequently, in November 2021, the labor relationship was terminated with the Shandong Table Tennis Center.
So far, Zhang Jike's sports careerIt's basically over
Actually, after 16 years of the Olympics, he wasFrequently active in major variety shows
In "Look Where You Run", which was broadcast in November 16, Zhang Jike participated in the reality show for the first time as a regular guest, which can be regarded as an official journey towards the entertainment industry.
In addition, he has also been resident in a number of variety shows, such as "The King of Crossover Singers" in 17 years, and the Chinese version of "The Amazing Race".
There is also the third season of "Tucao Conference" in 18 years, and he served as the main coffee.

In addition to the resident programs, there are also large and smallThere are more than 30 guest appearances in variety shows, in addition to these variety shows, there are also New Year's Eve parties over the past year, and he can often be seen at the Lantern Festival party.
With the background of the champion and the blessing of handsome looks, Zhang Jike's popularity has been soaring.
Weibo reached more than 10 million followers at its peak, and his super popularity also brought him many endorsement opportunities, and major brands rushed to sign endorsement agreements with the Grand Slam winner.
According to industry insiders, Zhang Jike'sThe cost of the era is tens of millions
Then let's talk about Zhang Jike's relationship history, Zhang JikeThere are two public romances
The first paragraph is the childhood sweetheart's first love (possibly) Liu Shiwen.
Liu Shiwen and Zhang Jike are both members of the national table tennis team.
In 2003, 15-year-old Zhang Jike joined the table tennis team.
One year later, 13-year-old Liu Shiwen also became a member of the national table tennis team, and it is unknown how they were together.
But after 2006, it can be seen from their QQ that the relationship between the two is very close.
But when they separated, they didn't say it publicly, it is estimated that it was around 2012, and it is unknown why they were separated.
There is also a love affair that isEveryone is more familiar with Jing Tian's love
On March 28, 2018, Zhang Jike disclosed his relationship with Chinese actress Jing Tian on Weibo.
However, a year later, on June 9, Jing Tian announced on Weibo that she had broken up with Zhang Jike, and the reason for the breakup during this period is now unknown.
But judging from the turmoil, it seems to reveal the reason for their breakupThat's gambling
On March 20, 2023, someone broke the news that retired athlete Zhang Jike was suspected of gambling disputes, harming the privacy of others and other illegal acts.
Specifically, during Zhang Jike's relationship with Jing Tian, he was unable to repay his debts3 intimate videos of Jing TianIt was issued to the creditor, and the creditor used it to force Jing Tian to repay the debt.
Good guys, this is gambling again, private photos, and blackmail, it's really all kinds of buffs, which can be described as the first mark of the Year of the Rabbit.
At this point, there are ** differences about Zhang Jike.
Later, someone broke the news that Zhang Jike could often be seen gambling in Macau before.
Zhang Jike and Jing Tian broke up when they found out that Zhang Jike was gambling, and his gambling addiction was still very big.
The creditor came to the door, and the woman also repaid more than 1 million for the man, and then broke up directly.
Some people also broke the news that Zhang Jike was sleeping powder, ** cheating money, and so on.
But these are just revelations, and they have not been confirmed, and everyone can judge whether they are true or false.
Subsequently, at noon on April 3, 2023, Anta and other brands endorsed by Zhang Jike deleted Zhang Jike's promotional materials and said that they had terminated all of Zhang Jike's cooperation.
The withdrawal of capital also confirmed the authenticity of Zhang Jike's gambling blackmail.
On April 4, the relevant person of the Chinese Table Tennis Association also confirmed that Zhang Jike has retired.
Looking back at Zhang Jike's current life, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Losing childhood since childhood, only rigorous training all day long, the hard work behind it is unimaginable.
However, perhaps it is precisely because of the loss of the happiness of childhood that Zhang Jike is arrogant.
Zhang Jike's gambling nature can be seen since he was a child, and he was expelled from the national team because of it.
It can be seen from this that anyone who has anything to do with gambling, he is no longer a person, we still want to escape from these people as soon as possible, even a person like Zhang Jike, who earns more than 10 million a year, can't stand gambling.
And who can stand it by relying on extortion to ask for money?
Looking back now, if Zhang's father had let Zhang Jike choose the road of football, or if he didn't train Zhang Jike at the beginning, and just let Zhang Jike live like an ordinary person, maybe Zhang Jike is now just an ordinary person who does nothing, no champion, no attention, no huge income, and he will not be spurned because of gambling, since there are two completely different lives for you, how will you choose?
Now someone in the club photographed Zhang Jike teaching children table tennis, although Anta has given up his endorsement, he is also wearing Anta.
Maybe that's not a bad thing to do.
