Four years later, he won the gold medal in the men's singles competition and the silver medal in the doubles event again together with Liu Guoliang.
This made him the third player to achieve a career grand slam of singles championship wins in three majors (Olympics, World Cup, World Championships).
He is considered by many to be the most complete player of all time.

In May 2017, Kong is being sued by Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, for failing to repay fully a sum of S$1 million, which he borrowed from the hotel's casino in February 2015, according to High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
The court writ said, Kong signed a credit agreement to borrow S$1 million from the operator.
He had since repaid S$545,625, but failed to offset the balance in full, leaving S$454,375 unpaid.
