PARIS, July 27 (Xinhua) -- Although Zeng Zhiying's Olympic table tennis debut on Saturday ended in defeat in the women's singles preliminary round at the South Paris Arena 4, the 58-year-old, who represents Chile, said she was proud of her first ever Olympic journey.
"I felt so excited. I was so restless. During my warm-up, I could not stand still, could not sit still," said Zeng of her Olympic debut. Born in China, Zeng initially retired from competitive table tennis after missing out on selection for China's squad for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, and moved to Chile later that decade to coach at a school.
