"The Stern Killer" -- Female Table Tennis Player Zhang Yining
女子乒坛的“冷面杀手”——张怡宁
Zhang Yining, the "dark horse" in Holland 1999 World Table Tennis Championships, is now ranking the No.1 among world female table tennis palyers. Compared with smiling Wang Nan, Zhang Yining is really a "cool girl". She is slender and smileless. When she was playing table tennis sharply, she was given the name " The Stern Killer". The gold medal she won in women's single in the 48th World Talbe Tennis Championships in 2005 made herself the "grand slam winner" in the World Table Tennis Championships, the Olympic Games and the World Cup.
张怡宁，这个1999年荷兰世乒赛的一匹小黑马，如今已俨然世界第一女乒选手，与爱笑的王楠不同，纤弱瘦小的张怡宁常常一脸冷峻，她球风犀利，被冠以“冷面杀手”。张怡宁在2005年夺得第48届世乒赛女单冠军后，实现了个人乒乓球世锦赛、奥运会和世界杯的大满贯。
Zhang Yining was born in Beijing in October in 1982. She began to learn table tennis at the age of six. In 1991, she was selected to a Provincial Team, and to the National Team in 1993. Zhang Yining has a sharp play style; she is good at hand-and-shake grip by right hand and speedy loop drive with both wings. She has become the new chief representative of National Women's Table Tennis Team in place of Wang Nan. In 2004, she won gold medals in women's single and in women's doubles (with Wang Nan) in the Athens Olympic Games.
