My Take
Gu Yuting's record stops me in my tracks. Winning singles gold at the 2010 Youth Olympics is impressive enough, but taking the world junior doubles title five straight years from 2009 to 2013 is the sort of sustained dominance that borders on absurd. In a country as ruthlessly competitive as China for table tennis, simply staying at the top of the junior ranks that long says everything about her discipline. She retired in 2021, and while she may not be a household name globally, that junior dynasty deserves far more recognition than it ever got.
