Olympic champion Ding Ning worked as a lecturer in the Sports Teaching and Research Department of Peking University. After graduating from Peking University
On the 25th, the reporter learned from Peking University that Olympic table tennis champion Ding Ning has served as a lecturer in the Sports Teaching and Research Department of Peking University, with a research focus on sports training. In July this year, Ding Ning graduated from the Sports Teaching and Research Department of Peking University with a Master's degree in Sports.
Ding Ning's last public appearance at Peking University was at the 2023 graduate graduation ceremony and degree awarding ceremony held by the university on July 5. She, as a representative of the 2021 master's degree student from the Sports Teaching and Research Department, gave a speech at the graduation ceremony. She said, "In the first half of my career, I was seen as the 'child of another family' by parents, with honor added to me. But only those who have experienced the darkest moments know that the championships and honors along the way have been obtained by me after constantly failing and standing up."

Ding Ning candidly stated that from the Chinese team's defeat in the team stage final of the Moscow World Table Tennis Championships in 2010 to her defeat in the women's singles final at the 2012 London Olympics, she had wanted to back down countless times. "But I have always told myself that only by bravely facing losses can we win better. It is this perseverance and perseverance that has given me a mature heart, allowing me to dare to challenge, rise against the wind, and see the sun through the clouds."

To challenge new possibilities, Ding Ning chose to retire in 2021 and pursue further studies in the sports industry and health at Peking University. Now, the reporter saw on the website of the Sports Teaching and Research Department of Peking University that Ding Ning has appeared in the column of in-service teachers. Her position is teaching oriented, and her research direction is sports training, offering table tennis courses. This means that Peking University students have the opportunity to learn table tennis from Olympic champions.
