Participate as an athlete! Only participated in doubles and was paired with Wang Hao!

He competed at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

I participated as a player.

If you participate, you are just eliminated.

It seems that there is no participation in the singles.

I didn't seem to take a card.

The reason why Kong Linghui did not participate in the Athens Olympics as a singles player was mainly because the national table tennis wanted to train newcomers at that time, so he chose Wang Hao instead of Kong Linghui. After 2000, at that time, the International Table Tennis Federation made further adjustments to table tennis. The change from small ball to big ball has made many athletes uncomfortable, and Kong Linghui is one of them.

Since then, it has been difficult for Kong Linghui to win the championship. The decline in performance made Kong Linghui feel very helpless, especially his confidence and fighting spirit on the court were also greatly hit.

At that time, in the National Table Tennis Championships, the rapid rise of young players was also an important reason why Kong Linghui was not eligible to participate in the singles competition. In particular, Wang Hao's straight and horizontal shooting skills are becoming more and more perfect, and he has achieved excellent results in international competitions. Therefore, in order to train new players at that time, Wang Hao was selected to participate in the National Table Tennis Championships, so that Kong Linghui lost his singles qualification to participate in the Athens Olympics.

It's a pity that in the final, Wang Hao was confused by Liu Chengmin's tactics and finally failed to win the men's singles championship.

In fact, the main reason at that time was because of the series of adjustments made by the International Table Tennis Federation. First, the 38mm ball was changed to 40mm, and then the 11-point system was introduced, which directly affected the performance of many players on the court. Especially after switching to the big ball, Liu Guoliang's serving skills began to decline, and he retired as a coach at the age of 27.

In addition, Kong Linghui is a skilled player who has no advantage in playing the big ball, which means that the two of them will never be able to repeat the results of the small ball era. At the same time, the Olympic qualification rules are also undergoing significant changes. In order to limit the advantage of the Chinese team, the International Table Tennis Federation changed the Olympic qualification tournament from three to one.

In the end, the national table tennis team decided to make Wang Hao a men's singles player, and Kong Linghui could only withdraw from the men's singles competition alone.

Due to the changes made by the International Table Tennis Federation to the ball used in table tennis, Kong Linghui was very uncomfortable, and his personal state declined, and the domestic men's table tennis newcomers made great progress, so that Kong Linghui had no chance to participate in the Athens Olympics.

At that time, the young players of the national table tennis team all got up, and it can be said that there were many talents, Wang Liqin, Wang Hao, and Ma Lin all had outstanding strength.
