Oh joy of joys! China's number one Ping Pong champ, Wang Hao, can finally get a girlfriend. The 25-year-old men's singles world champion got in trouble five years ago when he started going out with fellow national team player, the then 17-year-old Fan Ying. He got a finger wag and a disapproving look. She was dismissed from the team. But now that it's 2009, he's totally allowed to date former national champion Peng Luyang, his manager said.
