On the evening of July 30th, Beijing time, after the "Shatou combination" won the gold medal in the mixed doubles table tennis at the Paris Olympics, "Table Tennis Grandma" Ni Xialian released a video to congratulate Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin. She waved the five-star red flag and said: "You are the best. I am very happy."

Ni Xialian was also at the competition site that day. She said to the camera: "Shasha and Datou played really well. It was not easy. The North Korean pair was really great, but our Chinese team was even better. It's great to win. Congratulations again. I'm so happy."

On the evening of July 30th, Beijing time, Ni Xialian released a video revealing that her long rubber playing style happened to be the same as that of Kim Qinying, a female player of the North Korean team. Before the final, the Chinese team invited Ni Xialian to be a sparring partner for the "Shatou combination".

Ni Xia Lian said, "The North Korean female players play in the same way as I do. I am honored to be Shatou's sparring partner, and I also have the responsibility to help them. I really didn't hesitate at all. I feel that without the training of my motherland and the Chinese team, what would I be? I am very happy to have such an opportunity to repay my motherland and the Chinese team and clear a little bit of obstacles for them on the road to winning the championship."

At 17:00 Beijing time on July 31, Sun Yingsha will face Ni Xia Lian. Sun Yingsha and Ni Xia Lian have faced each other once in history, at the Doha World Tour in Qatar in 2018, when Sun Yingsha defeated Ni Xia Lian 4-1.
