"Yixian, shall we call it a day for training?"
Inside the table tennis training venue at the Olympic Village, athletes were sweating profusely as they intensified their training.
Chang Yixian's sportswear was completely soaked with sweat, despite the high-tech air conditioning keeping the room temperature firmly at 24 degrees, the intensity of the training was too overwhelming.
It was the team captain Long You who spoke. Known as Long You, he was the captain of the table tennis team for this Olympic Games and a veteran who had competed in the Olympics four times.
Keep in mind, the Olympics are held once every four years, so four times amounts to 16 years. Athletes thrive on their youth, so calling him the evergreen tree of the table tennis world is no exaggeration.
What's more, it's not just his years of service that matter.
