Gao Jun

Gao Jun is a world-champion table tennis player currently living in Gaithersburg, Maryland. She transplanted with her husband, Frank, to the US from China in 1994, and began playing the U.S. teams. Gao Jun’s father got her started playing ping pong when she was five, and she’s 38 now. That equals 33 years of ass-kicking pongness.

She’s representing the United States in the Beijing Olympics.

Good luck, Gao Jun. Good luck.

Here’s a slideshow and feature on NBC Olympics site.
