Remember that wide-eyed kid who asked his coach ‘What does an Olympic champion do?’ That same boy is now making waves in the international table tennis scene. Meet Lin Shidong – the 18-year-old phenom whose journey from a small Chinese island to the world stage will give you goosebumps.
In an exclusive interview with CCTV Sports’ ‘Zero Distance Sports’, Lin opens up about his extraordinary path. ‘When I first held a paddle, I didn’t even know what the Olympics were,’ he laughs. Fast forward to today, and this once-clueless teenager has his sights set on table tennis’ ultimate prize.
What makes Lin’s story so compelling isn’t just his rapid rise – it’s the raw determination behind it. Training sessions that would make most adults quit, endless drills under the tropical sun, and that unshakable belief when everyone else saw just another island kid.
‘People think talent gets you there,’ Lin shares in the interview. ‘But talent just gets you in the door. What happens after 3am when your muscles scream and your hands bleed – that’s what separates champions.’ This mindset explains how he climbed from national junior tournaments to facing world-ranked players in just three years.
The full interview reveals never-before-shared moments – like when a 12-year-old Lin asked his coach about Olympic champions, not understanding the magnitude of his own question. Now that same boy analyzes matches like a veteran and dreams of standing on that podium.
