Truls competes in the Chinese Super League. The level of competition is incredibly fierce. His success at that level is a huge reason why he can compete with the top Chinese players.
Hes basically doing what the Swedish team was doing in the late 90s and early 2000s. Nice to see it happening again and this time we have a French with us to give the Chinese some competition. So it doesnt look as onesided as Basketball for example
@@QuickZ_ You also missed that France got silver in '92 and Germany got bronze in 2012 and 2020, all 3 in men's individual events. In the men's team events Germany is second only to China, with 2 silvers and 2 bronzes.
The most talented and the second best. Ma Long is the goat in terms of wins and titles but doesn't have this crazy touch. With all the respect, Chinese are robots. Truls plays totally different and it's really all about creativity. FZD is both a robot and a muscle machine, so athletic. After more than 20 years of insane Chinese, dominance Europe is striking back, though it remains a challenge to beat several Chinese players in a row.
@@seerancinemaintro2872 As a semi-pro who trained at the Borussia Düsseldorf next to Timo Boll and others I don't engage into a childish discussion to debate who's the goat...
Waldner indicated that China is the best place for a table tennis tournament. I recently saw a match in China between Ma Long and Lebrun and the audience was truly horrible. Total silence whenever Lebrun made a good point and cheering when he made an unforced error.
Well the Chinese audience that come to the olympics always cheers when there has been a entertaining point no matter who won it. That they cheer in general for China kinda makes sense and is not unique to China
@@QuickZ_ That is not true. 99% of the Chinese fans did not even cheer for their own Chinese player Chen Meng in gold medal match Chen Meng vs Sun YS. They were so mad that that Chen Meng won and even the Chinese coaches seem shocked and not happy when Chen won.
The Mozart of table tennis or the evergreen tree 常青树 needs no introduction 🙂 He is the most famous swedish person in China still i think? at least he was many years ago.
Swedish table tennis has been very disappointed for over 2 decades. Even though they reached the final this year, I still don't see they have the chance to beat or have a good fight with China like they were in 30-40 years ago. TBH, I like Lebrun brothers better this year and really think F Lebrun has a chance to become a top 3 players in the world very soon. BTW, I was a huge fan of Waldner when I was a kid growing up play ping-pong in Taiwan.
Waldner，瓦尔德内尔 in chinese translation almost every table tennis fan in china knows this name, and his nickname: 老瓦 (uncle Wa) i don't know how popular it is for table tennis in sweden, if not very much, then we can safely say that he is more famous in china then in sweden, or any other country/region
in Sweden tabletennis is mostly common at office-spaces and school-areas. Very few compete in it. And we only watch the olympics. Except those who are the exception ofc
Congrats to Truls and Sweden. We must all together try to reduce the total dominance of China. Timo Boll is now retiering after a fantastic career and he should really need a prince of the crown from Europe. Thanks for a wonderful entertaining OG.
Yes, I meant that as an understatement. If you win World championship without losing a set then you are as good as one can be. Waldner was the best in his generation.
Truls introduced strokes and variations in his game that were missed since Waldner and the trend to play Hybrid rubbers with tacky topsheets gave rise to non-Chinese players since Tokio 2021 where Dima also played the final … as a table tennis player and fan I usually root for a player and not necessarily for my country. I love the Chinese TT and now it became less boring to watch … great advancements coming up since decades for the sports
How as it boring before? Watching two of the best players in the world trying to beat each other and who happens to be from the same country is anything but boring. No one has been able to match the standards of Chinese table tennis for over a decade, blame them.
@@mrhdebater1607I didn’t mean to offend anybody. I already stated that I love to see the Chinese players prevail.

What a silly take. Clearly, she knew next to nothing about table tennis beforehand, but was well prepared for the interview. She did her job as a journalist well.
@@pellevanlig245 So you mean it's not part of her job to inform the audience of the interviewee and their accolades, among other things? This is getting beyond silly, I think it's time to call it quits lad. Cheers.
We don’t need an introduction for such a legend of table tennis 💪🏻
Mozart
The reporter thinks we don't know who waldner is... 😂😂😂😂
He is more famous in China than in Europe it seems.
You have to introduce the guests in a tv program though, it would look strange to not introduce him properly.
yeah...I heard in the 90s he was more famous and recognisable than the US presidant XD
Jan Ove = Yoda of table tennis . Awesome Olympic campaign by Truls and I’m sure we’re going to see much more from him
what a legend the GOAT Waldner
J-O Waldner is one of the all time greats. He made some very intelligent and well measured comments.
Absolute legend!
Jan-Ove Waldner❤❤❤❤
Awww the true legend hero of my childhood! Love you!❤️❤️❤️
Truls competes in the Chinese Super League. The level of competition is incredibly fierce. His success at that level is a huge reason why he can compete with the top Chinese players.
Morgard was exceptional he broke the doors thats in Olympics china is betable. Its good for TT future thats foreign players can win on big stage.

If you play Table Tennis and you don't know JOV , then you haven't played it enough .....
Prime Waldner beats Fan Zhendong easy.😎
Disappointed with the introduction. Just refer to him as one of the greatest this sport has ever produced.
true, kinda annoyed me

@@freddupont9605 In my opinion Waldner is the GOAT, sure Ma Long has more titles, but no one has the touch and feeling for the game like Waldner

Hey Reporter! we know who Waldner is! Everyone likes Waldner in China too!
pls restore men women double
where is Falck,anyone know why he did not go to Paris 2024?
dunno, maybe the coach choice. Kallberg and Moregard in singles as the ranking, Karlsson on team as he is left hander
He was there as fourth man (reserve)
@@martingronqvist1538 thanks，I couldn't find him at all during the broadcast.😂
He was a decent player, won world championship 1997 without losing a set in the entire championship.
When i won the olympics he lost one set..
Decent? He is one of the best to ever play the sport.
Waldner decent? Yeah, and Usain Bolt is rather fast too.
Yes, I meant that as an understatement. If you win World championship without losing a set then you are as good as one can be. Waldner was the best in his generation.
Decent.
Yes.
