Zhiying Zeng Makes Her Olympic Dream Debut at 58 Years Old

Jul 30 2024

Chinese-Chilean phenomenon Zhiying Zeng has finally realized her dream by debuting at the Olympics at the age of 58.

Zeng has been playing table tennis professionally since she was 12 years old, and just four years later, she was selected to join China’s national team. However, a sudden rule change in the game disrupted her career.

Following this setback, Zeng moved to Chile to coach children and start a new life. Although she retired from professional play, she dedicated herself to coaching hundreds of kids, including her own son, before briefly returning to competitive play in 2003. She later stepped away again to focus on her furniture store.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Zeng decided to test her skills once more, gradually working her way up to become the number one ranked player in Chile, ultimately qualifying for the Olympics to represent her adopted country. She even managed to win bronze medal at the 2023 Pan American games.

Despite losing to Mariana Sahakian of Lebanon 4-1 in the preliminary rounds, Zeng’s family, including her 92-year-old father in China, witnessed her fulfill her lifelong dream.
