Ma Long
Ma Long cemented his legacy as one of the greatest table tennis players of all time by becoming the first man to twice complete the sport's Grand Slam－comprising Olympic, world championship and world cup titles. The 32-year-old took his Olympic gold-medal tally to five with victories in the men's singles and men's team events in Tokyo, disproving the notion that his paddling powers may be on the wane. Ma had struggled for top form after knee surgery in 2019, but after his Tokyo triumphs said: "As long as I still have the love and passion for the sport, any age is a golden age for me."
