Wang Hao unlocks new coach identity for his first Olympic game
As a former world champion, Wang Hao has won 18 world championships.
After retiring, he did not leave the table tennis world, but transitioned from a player to a coach.
Wang Hao was very serious when he was an athlete, and even more so now as a coach.
Fan Zhendong has also stated in front of the media many times that the two people have a good relationship in private like friends, but when it comes to training and competition, Wang Hao becomes particularly harsh.
The two people also lost weight together before. Both "big fat" and "little fat" became handsome at the same time. This kind of relationship between teachers and friends made them trust each other more and make progress together.
Wang Hao has participated in the Olympic Games three times, and he has plenty of practical experience. Now, as Fan Zhendong’s coach, he can guide and help him in many ways.
In the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, Wang Hao will participate in the Olympics for the first time as a coach, and Fan Zhendong will also participate in the Olympics for the first time. The two will join hands to launch an impact on the men's singles champion of the Tokyo Olympics.
