Early life


Hsing was born in Fremont, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her mother, Xin Hua Jiang, was born in China, and grew up in Henan Province. Her father, Michael Hsing, is a computer engineer who was born in Taiwan.[12][13]


Hsing started playing table tennis when her parents could not find a babysitter one night and brought the then seven-year-old to the Palo Alto Table Tennis Club with them.[14]


Ariel played her first table tennis tournament “2003 California Open” at age 7. She didn’t quite know how to serve legally and was faulted more than ten times. She hung in there and won her first tournament.


At age eight and a few days old, Ariel won her first national title “Girls 10 and Under” at the 2003 U.S. Nationals at Las Vegas. She then successfully defended her title in 2004 and 2005. On a side note, Ariel’s mom also won a trophy at the same tournament.


In July 2005, Ariel won all her matches at the 2005 Junior Olympics/Nationals held at New Orleans. She brought home six gold medals and a special “Joel Ferrell Sportsmanship Award,” which had her name engraved on a special plaque at the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) National Headquarter.



Career


In 2012, Hsing won the singles titles at the ITTF North American Cup and the United States Junior and Cadet Open.[15] She qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics and was seeded 46th in women’s singles.[16]


Hsing is acquaintances with Warren Buffett and Bill Gates and used to refer to them as "Uncle Warren" and "Uncle Bill". She met Buffett at age 9 when one of Buffett’s friends retained a table tennis coach for Buffett at his seventy-fifth birthday party and it was decided to have the 9-year-old Hsing play Buffett as a joke.[17][18] Since then, Ariel has been invited to the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting to play table tennis with Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and the stockholders.[19] Gates was present during Hsing's Round of 32 loss during the 2012 Olympics and hugged her as she left the court.[20]


On July 9, 2012, she appeared on an episode of the Nickelodeon game show Figure It Out. She stumped panelists Ciara Bravo, Alex Heartman, Leon Thomas III and Stephen Kramer Glickman, for one round.



2012 London Olympics


Hsing entered the Olympics as the 46th seed [16] and ranked 115th in the world.[20]


In the round of 128 Hsing defeated Yadira Silva in 4 games (11-9, 11-8, 11-3, 11-5) in a match where she never trailed by more than 2 points.
In the round of 64 Hsing defeated Ni Xia Lian of Luxembourg 4-2 (11-9, 10-12, 11-9, 11-5, 10-12, 12-10),
In the round of 32 Hsing lost to the #2 seed and eventual gold medalist Li Xiaoxia of China 4-2 (11-4, 9-11, 11-6, 6-11, 11-8, 11-9) with the longest rally of 18 occurring in game 6.


After the loss Hsing said it was the best she had ever performed at a tournament giving herself a "10 out of 10, or maybe 9.9 as I wasn't quite there."[20]



Personal life


Hsing has been blogging for espnW for her Olympic journey.[21]


After the Olympics, Hsing was selected as the 2012 Female High School Athlete of the year by San Jose Sports Hall of Fame.[22]


Hsing graduated from Valley Christian High School in San Jose in 2013. She is a graduate of Princeton University[23] and was elected as Social Chair for the Class of 2017. Hsing speaks both English and Mandarin Chinese.[24]


She is featured in the documentary Top Spin directed by Mina T. Son and Sara Newens.


Ariel participated in Andy Akiho's Ping Pong Concerto, world premiered in Shanghai on July 18, 2015, at Shanghai Symphony Hall by Shanghai Symphony Orchestra.[25] Ping Pong Concerto has also performed in Beijing, Guangzhou, Foshan, and is scheduled to perform in London and Hong Kong.[26]


Ariel is a contributing author of "2 Billion Under 20: How Millennials Are Breaking Down Age Barriers and Changing the World" by Stacey Ferreira and Jared Kleinert, which became the #1 New Release in Business Leadership on Amazon.[27]


In 2016, with her independent study of "Chinese Stock Market Anomalies: An Empirical Analysis,” Ariel was selected by China Hands Magazine as the 25 under 25: Leaders in U.S.-China Relations, which "profiles 25 students and professionals under the age of 25 who have demonstrated exceptional promise in China studies and in furthering the future of the U.S.-China relationship."[28]
