Before the medals, the trophies and the records, Ma Long was a kid with a dream and a paddle.

2007: his first Pro Tour title 
2009: World No. 2 

Everyone could see what was coming.
But one title kept slipping away. 

Three World Championships in a row, he came up short. And three times, the man standing in his way was Wang Hao, his early mentor.

Then came Suzhou 2015. Ma Long finally became World Champion, and from that moment on, he was unstoppable.

Today he holds the greatest collection of titles the sport has ever seen:
🥇 6x Olympic Gold
🏆 14x World Championships
🏆 11x World Cups
🏆 57x ITTF World Tour Events

But is Ma Long the table tennis GOAT? 🤔
