In the 2008 National Tournament[錦標(biāo)賽]， Zhang Jike won the championship for the PLA[中國(guó)人民解放軍] team with Wang Hao and other players. And then he beat the three Olympic champions[冠軍]—Ma Lin， Wang Liqin and Wang Hao， and won the championship of Men’s Singles[男子單打] of table tennis.

On May 15th， 2011， Zhang Jike beat Wang Hao by 4:2 in the Men’s Singles of Table Tennis in the World Championship[世錦賽] and won his first championship of Men’s Singles during his sport career. On November 13th， 2011， he got his first championship in the World Cup. In the competition， he beat his teammate， Wang Hao， by 4:2.

The beginning of 2009 was not wonderful for Zhang Jike. But from the second half of 2009， Zhang Jike restarted his journey. He became the world championship by taking part in the Group World Cup and later he won the Men’s Group Championship of Asian Championships. But in the Men’s Singles， he was suppressed[壓制] by Ma Long and Xu Xin. Ma Long was the same age as him while Xu Xin was bit younger than him. He won the second place in the Asian Championship and East Asian Games.

Zhang Jike started very well at the beginning of 2010. He got the chance to take part in the World Championships of Table Tennis in the second team tryout. He also got his first Men’s Singles championship of international competition in the Asia Cup. During the World Championships in Moscow， he was able to represent[代表] China to compete with other players in the semi-final and final and he achieved a lot for China. In 2010， Zhang Jike won the second place in the Qatar Open Tournament， the championship of men’s doubles in the Kuwait Open Tournament with Ma Long and the runner-up in the men’s doubles in German Open Tournament with Hao Shuai.

Zhang Jike started to play table tennis when he was five and won the international championship when he was 23. He had experienced lots of hardship through this time. When he lifted the cup， what did the young man who usually didn’t talk too much think of? When asked about his， Zhang Jike remained cool， “I am very happy when I win the championship and it is my first time to take part in the World Championships. I have no burden[負(fù)擔(dān)] and this is a new beginning for me.”

張繼科現(xiàn)為中國(guó)男子乒乓球隊(duì)隊(duì)員。5歲就跟隨父親學(xué)打球，2000年進(jìn)入山東魯能乒乓球隊(duì)，2003年1月進(jìn)入國(guó)家隊(duì)。

在2008年全國(guó)錦標(biāo)賽上，張繼科在與王皓等人合作以全勝戰(zhàn)績(jī)?yōu)榻夥跑婈?duì)獲得男團(tuán)冠軍之后，在男單比賽中連勝馬琳、王勵(lì)勤和王皓三名奧運(yùn)冠軍，一舉獲得男單冠軍。

2011年5月15日，張繼科在世乒賽男單決賽中以4:2擊敗王皓，贏得了他職業(yè)生涯中的首個(gè)世乒賽男單冠軍。2011年11月13日，張繼科在2011年乒乓球男子世界杯賽上以4:2戰(zhàn)勝隊(duì)友王皓，在職業(yè)生涯中首度加冕世界杯賽冠軍。

2009年的開(kāi)局對(duì)張繼科來(lái)說(shuō)并不精彩。不過(guò)從下半年開(kāi)始，張繼科重新出發(fā)。出戰(zhàn)團(tuán)體世界杯讓他成為世界冠軍，之后還獲得了亞錦賽的男團(tuán)冠軍等榮譽(yù)。不過(guò)在單打賽場(chǎng)，他卻被同齡的馬龍和比自己小一些的許昕壓制，亞錦賽與東亞運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)都在男單賽場(chǎng)屈居第二。

2010年張繼科的開(kāi)局不錯(cuò)，第二次隊(duì)內(nèi)選拔賽就獲得了參加世乒賽的資格，還在亞洲杯上拿到了自己的第一個(gè)國(guó)際比賽單打冠軍。在莫斯科世乒賽上，張繼科在半決賽和決賽中都得到了寶貴的出場(chǎng)機(jī)會(huì)，為中國(guó)隊(duì)的奪冠立下不小的功勞。2010年張繼科獲得了卡塔爾公開(kāi)賽亞軍、科威特公開(kāi)賽男雙冠軍(與馬龍)和德國(guó)公開(kāi)賽男雙亞軍(與郝帥)。

張繼科5歲開(kāi)始打球，23歲拿到世界冠軍，中間歷經(jīng)起伏波折，吃了那么多苦。在最終舉起獎(jiǎng)杯的那一刻，這個(gè)少言寡語(yǔ)的小伙心里到底在想些什么？談到這個(gè)，張繼科又恢復(fù)了酷酷的神情，“贏了當(dāng)然高興，這次是我第一次打世錦賽單打，我的心態(tài)很好，沒(méi)有包袱，對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)一切都是從零開(kāi)始。”
