In the ultimate decider, amidst a thrilling back-and-forth exchange that had the crowd at the Galaxy Arena roaring with excitement, Ma showcased his status as the G.O.A.T. Drawing upon the momentum from his previous three victories, he clinched the championship in mesmerising fashion (9-11, 9-11, 5-11, 11-8, 11-6, 11-4, 11-8).

With the countdown to the Paris Olympic games on, can Ma Long add another Olympic gold to his collection?

“Indeed, I've secured quite a few titles, but they were mostly won when the finals were leaning in my favor from the start. This is the first time I've won a title after trailing significantly going into the match. It's a great confidence boost at this stage of my career.

📍“defending champion”和“reigning champion”这两个短语在使用时有细微的差别,但通常在体育赛事报道中可以交替使用。Defending Champion:直接指向“卫冕冠军”,意指上一届的冠军,在当前比赛中试图保持自己的冠军头衔。Reigning Champion:通常用来描述当前仍持有冠军头衔的人或队伍。强调的是他们目前仍然是冠军,但不一定涉及到他们正在“防守”这个头衔的情景,尽管在很多情况下,这两个词的用法和含义是重叠的。

如果说“He is the reigning champion,” 指的是他目前仍然是最新的、现任的冠军,强调的是他的持续成功。如果说“He is the defending champion,”则强调的是他在即将到来的比赛中将要防守这一头衔。实际上,如果一个运动员在连续两届或多届比赛中持续获胜,那么他既是“defending champion”也是“reigning champion”。所以,根据上下文的不同,选择使用哪一个说法会更准确地传达所要表达的意思。

As the curtains close on a special and historic ITTF Men's and Women's Cup and a spectacular week of table tennis at the highest level, the table tennis community celebrates the exceptional performances of not only the athletes but also the host city of Macao, China in providing a platform to promote the sport globally and inspire the future generation.

exceptional

exceptional /ɪkˈsep.ʃən.əl/ 表示“(尤指在技能、才智、品质等方面)卓越的,杰出的,不同凡响的”,英文解释为“much greater than usual, especially in skill, intelligence, quality, etc.”如:an exceptional student 出类拔萃的学生。
