Ni Xialian, the 61-year-old “Ping Pong Grandma,” faced 23-year-old Sun Yingsha at the Paris Olympics. Despite exiting in the round of 32, she played with a smile and executed a fantastic 360-degree spin shot. Post-match, she shared a sweet kiss with her husband and coach, Tommy Danielsson.
“I achieved my dreams: attending the Olympics, winning a match, and playing against Sun Yingsha. I’m so happy,” said Ni.
From her beginnings in China to representing Luxembourg, Ni’s journey showcases her enduring passion for table tennis and inspires all.
