"Hey ha, hey ha!" On the afternoon of August 8, on the second floor of Hall D of Daping Times Paradise Walk in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, several children were concentrating on waving table tennis rackets in their right hands to warm up. Their movements were smooth and powerful, and the sounds of "Hey ha" were full of passion.
The day was the 16th National Fitness Day. Yuzhong District held the 2024 "National Ball Shines in Yuzhong" Youth Table Tennis Tournament. The competition was divided into two groups: Group A (8-10 years old) and Group B (5-7 years old), attracting nearly 100 young table tennis enthusiasts from Yuzhong District to sign up.
At the No. 2 competition stage, children in red and blue jerseys were playing a wonderful match. The red-shirted player took the lead, leaning sideways, half-crouching, throwing the ball, and swinging the racket, all in one go. With a "pop", the ball broke through the opponent's defense, winning the applause of the parents present: "Beautiful! Great serve!"
"I watched every table tennis match at the Olympics, and I liked Fan Zhendong the best!" 10-year-old contestant Tan Shengfeng told reporters that he had carefully studied Fan Zhendong's backhand defense and forehand defense-to-attack transition, and hoped that he could be as good as Fan Zhendong one day.
"Our son started learning table tennis at the age of six. He liked it very much, so we sent him to a table tennis training school to learn." Tan Shengfeng's mother Liu Chunyan told reporters that her child was very active in learning table tennis and persisted in learning for four years. In a table tennis competition held in Jiangjin this year, Tan Shengfeng won the championship in this age group.
It is reported that this competition is hosted by the Yuzhong District Sports Bureau and the Shiyou Road Sub-district Office, and undertaken by the Yuzhong District Table Tennis Association. The organizer of the competition introduced that as one of the series of activities of Chongqing's "Travel with the Events" and "Sports Events into Scenic Spots, Streets, and Business Districts" in 2024, introducing sports events into business districts can further promote the in-depth integration and development of sports, business, and cultural tourism, and at the same time fully release consumption potential with the help of sports events.
