On May 29, on the field of the Paris Olympics, a highly anticipated women's singles final touched the hearts of countless spectators. As the world's number one, 24-year-old Sun Yingsha attacked the gold medal with impetus, while 30-year-old Chen Meng, as the women's singles champion of the last Tokyo Olympics, shoulders the heavy responsibility of defending the title. This final is not only a technical competition, but also a psychological game.

In the final, Chen Meng showed the veteran's mature mentality and comprehensive skills, and played calmly and accurately in every shot. On the other hand, Sun Yingsha seemed to have lost her rhythm amid the cheers like waves on the scene. She is usually agile and comfortable in the field and makes many mistakes at critical moments. When she led 9-7 in the fifth game, she took the first serve, then made a mistake in pulling the ball, and made consecutive serve mistakes. These situations that rarely occur usually made her mentality fluctuate gradually. At the beginning of the sixth game, she led 3-0, but Chen Meng quickly pulled the score away. In the end, she failed to withstand the pressure and lost the game 2-4, watching Chen Meng successfully defend the title. After the game ended, Sun Yingsha's head coach Qiu Yike felt very distressed. He revealed that Sun Yingsha had a difficult psychological journey during that period. "To be honest, when she saw table tennis, she was worried and I felt bad." Qiu Yike said with emotion. Sun Yingsha had a strong negative emotion about table tennis, which not only came from the failure of the game, but also caused great pressure from both parties. However, what made Qiu Yi feel relieved was that despite his inner pain, Sun Yingsha quickly adjusted her state and showed her tenacious fighting spirit in the subsequent team competition. "It's just a small step away from taking over. The child puts too much pressure on himself." Qiu Yike said with heartache.

In order to help Sun Yingsha get out of the trough, Qiu Yike sat down with her to review the game. They watched the game video over and over again, carefully analyzing the mistakes at each key node. "When we watched the video, I analyzed with her bit by bit, which ball was not handled well enough when competing with each other." Qiu Yike said, "Sometimes she is not willing to face it, but I have to point out these problems. Only by facing the failure can we grow better." They focused on analyzing the problems of mental fluctuations in the fifth game and tactical execution in the sixth game. Through such a review, Sun Yingsha gradually faced her shortcomings.

Hard work pays off. In the subsequent Doha World Table Tennis Championships, Sun Yingsha used Paris's lessons to remind herself to "focus on the next point." She was no longer troubled by past losses, but treated every point as a new beginning, and finally successfully adjusted her mindset and won the championship. From the defeat in Paris to the winning of Doha, Sun Yingsha, accompanied by Qiu Yike, completed a difficult psychological transformation.

The charm of sports competition lies in this, with the joy of success and the pain of failure. But those who stand up in pain often become stronger. Sun Yingsha and Qiu Yike, the master and apprentice, interpreted what the spirit of never giving up is the sports spirit. I believe that in the future, Sun Yingsha will go further and fly higher with this experience.
