Ping pong champ finally allowed to date
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING - As the reigning table tennis world champion with two Olympic silver medals under his belt, China's Wang Hao almost had it all - except a girlfriend.
The 25-year-old was banned from dating until recently, when national team officials permitted his relationship with former national teammate, 23-year-old Peng Luyang, the government-owned China Daily reported Wednesday.
"Both of them are old enough and it's normal," the newspaper quoted Peng's coach Qiao Yunping as saying.
Strict control of athletes' personal lives is common in China's rigid state-run sporting system, which grooms young hopefuls in specialized sports schools around the country to become gold medallists , providing them with intensive training and free food, clothes and shelter.
This must be why the Chinese are so good at everything now. Like Mickey said on 'Rocky,' "women waken legs." Thinking about your special lady friend also kills your focus. That's why Forrest Gump kicked ass at ping pong. He didn't have too much on his mind or any experiences with the ladies, aside from a 5 second squeeze on Jenny's honkers. It's a shame he ruined her roomate's bathrobe.
