Zhang Yining was a famous table tennis player and she is my favourite sports star.
Zhang Yining was born in Beijing in 1981. She was noticed by Coach Wang Biling when she was young. She was asked by Wang Biling to go to Beijing Shichahai Sports School.

A lot of Zhang Yining’s time was taken up by her training programme, but she was advised by her mother to study as well as train hard. She entered a lot of competitions in the world and won many gold medals.

Though she is not a member of National Table Tennis Team now, Zhang Yining still works for table tennis education. I think people continue to take pride in her because of her contribution to our country.
