JOOLA USA

The most important table tennis event after the World Championships, the World Cup, is again being played on JOOLA tables as in the previous years. The showcourt table in the Catalan colours has been enthusiastically received.

Barcelona, the city of the Olympic Games in 1992, is host for the elite of men's table tennis. For Jörg Roßkopf, the city on the Costa Brava stands for a magic moment: here, he won the silver medal in men's doubles with Steffen Fetzner which remains, to date, the best achievement of German table tennis players at the Olympic Games.

Hello Everyone!

Sorry it's been such a long time since my last update. As some of you know, I have been training, along with Trevor, at TTC Zugbrucke in Germany, and it's difficult for me to get internet access for prolonged periods of time. I am actually back in the U.S. for a few weeks and wanted to tell you about what I have been up to so far.

In the summer, I have mainly been concerned with training, and Joola managed to form a camp that turned out to be awesome for the first time. It had many enrollments, and the training there was fantastic. In the camps, there were three great coaches, two of them were four times world champions, and it is simply fascinating to be in the same room as them.  Their full names are Coach Zhang Li and Coach Li Zhen Shi, yet they were  adressed too by Coach Zhang and Coach Li. The other coach is Stefan Feth, a well-known player from Germany. He has a great reputation for being a great coach, player, and most importantly, a sportsman. Being coached by all three of them is a dream come true for many people, I am included.
