台灣亞運桌球名將李國定昨天在巴西過世,享壽88歲。

1958年東京亞運為台灣摘下首面桌球男單金牌的一代球王李國定,台灣時間10月16日下午4點半在家人陪伴下安詳離世,享壽88歲,傳奇生涯畫上句點。

桌球在1958年第3屆亞運正式成為競賽項目,之後除了在1970年曼谷亞運主辦國因經費不足取消,歷屆亞運均有舉辦。

1950年代,世界級亞洲桌壇盡是日本的天下,日本隊1954年至1959年在世界桌球錦標賽男子團體賽締造5連霸,1958年東京亞運,李國定面對實力強勁又擁有主場優勢的日本隊,先後擊退成田靜司、角田啟輔,拿下亞運史上首面男單金牌,他和蘇榮村的男雙組合也獲得銀牌。李國定這面金牌也是台灣目前在亞運唯一的金牌。

1966年曼谷亞運,李國定又和目前擔任桌協副理事長的楊正雄聯手奪下男雙銅牌及男子團體銀牌,總計他在亞運共獲得1金、2銀、1銅。另外他在1963、64年亞洲桌球錦標賽也分別率隊獲得銀牌及銅牌。

台灣在1972年推動桌球外交,由李國定和陳銀烈、謝金波、王尚武組成的台灣隊,進行中南美洲長征,轉戰9個國家,在十多天的行程中寫下49場比賽全勝的紀錄。之後,李國定也遠赴巴西擔任國家隊教練,並定居在巴西,過去台灣球員到巴西參加公開賽時,李國定都會傾全力相助,並客串翻譯,他的女兒李燕華也繼承父親衣缽,多次獲得南美洲冠軍。
