Shanghai, China, April 15, 2023 – In a shocking incident, Chinese table tennis star, Ma Long, collapsed during a prayer service at a local church in Shanghai, China. The incident occurred when Ma Long, who is considered one of the greatest table tennis players of all time, suffered from severe dehydration and exhaustion.
