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. "Wang is 26 and Lu is 23 (Chinese ages). It is normal to have a love affair at this age," the manager, Huang Biao told reporters. Maybe now that he has an outlet for his hormones, we'll see less emotional outbursts like his peeing at a KTV bar/"I am the famous Wang Hao!" incident from last October. Source: Straits Times more ›
