China News Service, Beijing, October 3-3. Chinese athlete Xu Xin was elected vice president of the Asian Table Tennis Association at the Congress of the Asian Table Tennis Association in Doha, Qatar, on the evening of October.

Xu Xin, 32, is still an active player. He has won two team golds at the Rio Olympics and the Tokyo Olympics. He has won 20 world championships in his career. The ITTF issued a statement that Xu Xin’s accession to the international organization as the current player is a sign that the Chinese Table Tennis Federation has released to the ITTF to boldly nurture young and influential champions. The election of Xu Xin as vice president of the Asian Table Tennis Association also made everyone look forward to the promotion and development of Asian table tennis.

The Chinese team missed the Doha Asian Championships because the start time for the National Games and the Asian Championships was only one day away, so Xu Xin did not attend the Asian Table Tennis League Congress. After learning that he was elected vice president of the Asian Table Tennis Association, Xu Xin said this reflects member organizations ’confidence in younger players. His rich experience and influence have contributed to the development of Asian table tennis.

Liu Guoliang, Chairman of the WTT World Table Tennis Professional League Council and Chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, congratulated Xu Xin on his election. He believes this is also an important signal that the Chinese Table Tennis Association has sent to the world of table tennis. Let young and influential champions participate in the work of international organizations and hire young professionals. This is the future trend of the Chinese Table Tennis Federation and the WTT World Table Tennis Federation.

Liu Guoliang said that the young champion players bring their deep understanding of table tennis and a wealth of experience to promote the development of table tennis in the world. At the same time, this will also be a continuation of the career of a champion player. The choice of Xu Xin is just the beginning. In the future, he hopes that more champions will be able to join the work of international organizations and become the backbone of world table tennis.
