乒壇傳統三大賽之一的世界杯即將於4月14日在中國澳門拉開帷幕，一位名叫李春麗的紐西蘭選手引發圈內外關注，因為她出生於1962年、目前已經滿63歲，比盧森堡的乒壇“常青樹”倪夏蓮（1963年出生）還要大1歲，由此而刷新了乒乓球世界大賽的高齡參賽紀錄，而她的第一個對手將是年滿37歲、但仍然比自己年輕26歲的“小將”徐孝元，精彩值得關注！

Like Ni Xialian, Li Chunli used to be a player of the Chinese table tennis team, and the two people of similar age were teammates, but relatively speaking, Ni Xialian's position was higher that year, and she was the women's team and mixed doubles champion of the World Table Tennis Championships.

At the end of the 2014s of the last century, Li Chunli was naturalized in New Zealand and got the opportunity to appear on a bigger stage, including four Olympic Games, but after 0 years, she has never participated in the world competition, which is in stark contrast to the perennially active Ni Xialian.

Through the review of the data, it can be seen that the New Zealand Table Tennis Association is "short of soldiers and food" in the local area, so the training conditions are not guaranteed, and the funds are often not enough to support the competition; In addition, the local Olympic committee has also issued some policy restrictions, such as having to prove that she has any hope of finishing in the top 16, otherwise she will not be sent to the Olympics, which also makes it difficult for Li Chunli to regain qualification.

所以雖然李春麗非常希望回歸世界大賽，但現實卻只能讓她蹉跎十餘年，沒想到年過六旬后的自己竟然又有了新的機會，那就是今年的澳門世界盃。

According to the rules, the top four singles players in the table tennis cup on all continents can automatically enter the World Cup list, and this year Li Chunli won the fourth place in the Oceania Cup, just "pressing the line" to pass, thus successfully getting the ticket, but also surpassing Ni Xialian, becoming the oldest participant in the table tennis world series, 40 0 pm 0:0 night will officially usher in the debut, and South Korean chipper Xu Xiaoyuan.

Objectively speaking, it is unrealistic to think that Li Chunli wants to make great achievements in Macau at her current level, but she has become a symbol in the table tennis world, inspiring more older athletes to continue to chase their dreams, no matter what the results are, they are worthy of everyone's recognition and applause!
