Attracting Attention
The focus is on performances from totally different eras that have attracted
the attention and raised the eyebrows; turning the clock back
to the 1928 World Championships in Stockholm, Latvia proved a
match for the very best of the era. Turn the clock forward to 2022 and
Australia, a country proud of its sporting heritage but never a major
contender for global honours in the table tennis sphere, reserved a
podium place at the World Youth Championships in Tunisia.
Outstanding achievements, as year after year were those of Germany’s
recently retired Jochen Wollmert, in many eyes the greatest
Paralympian of all; his efforts have stood the test of time, as in a different
manner have those of Slovakia’s Alica Chladekova. Known by
her maiden name, Alica Grofova, she was the women’s singles runner
up at the 1973 World Championships; since that date, Asian players
have always contested the final.
Equally, Alfred Ludwig and Penti Niukkanen caught the eye in Muscat
being ever present at the World Veteran Championships; now attention
turns to Durban and the ITTF World Championships Finals, more
memorable moments await.
