Waldner's appearance at the 2004 Athens Olympics is one of the classic moments in table tennis history and a prime example of his strengths. He was 38 years old, he had won everything that can be won, he was past his prime but the fire was still burning inside (he said afterwards that he was confident to win nothing but the gold medal and he also wanted to prove that the Chinese were not unbeatable). He almost did it. Before the games, Waldner was seen as a second-rate player though and nobody believed that he'd be able to put a dent into it. He hadn't beaten Ma Lin for six years and Boll for three years. Ma and Boll must've seen him as an ageing man - they used conservative tactics, hesitated at clutch moments and they all paid dearly for their mistakes as Waldner exerted pressure. In the semi-final, Waldner tried to lure Ryu into the same mistakes but Ryu was young and tough-minded. I wished that Waldner would've won at least a bronze medal. He is able to make the best of his skills and tactics whenever it counts. Young players should learn Waldner's spirit.
If you look at Bolls successes in the last couple of years that's even more amazing. As Boll was 38 he made it to world's rank 1 again. And he clearly is much much fitter than Waldner, who was very slow. And he actually did beat the top chines players at this old age.
@@maxmustermann3876 the paper no1.What about his career in his 20s?He won his sole bronze medal at the WTTC at the age of 30 beating Chen Qi who was a lefty doubles specialist. Just because he has 15 years of medical advancements to treat his never ending injuries and Germany's endless financial resources it doesn't mean he is more successful than Waldner. He could never win a Slam with his soft looping style.
@@maxmustermann3876 Ever heard of the Bundesliga?It's the German League.The whole TT business in Europe centers around Germany.Foreign players have to play overseas to make ends meet which hurts the level of national leagues hence the mess of European TT and the German dominance.Germany couldn't even win the European Championship before 2007. Belarus and Denmark won it during Boll's reign...
MA Lin at his prime; Boll close to his prime ( but froze in this match); Waldner giving a swansong display of genius against both. Younger players now watch and question what the fuss was about - surely Waldner doesn't seem that good? The answer is deception. Other top players often did not know what Waldner was doing, with spin speed or direction, until it was too late; thus their errors on even simple-looking shots (to the new generation of viewers) from the master. One of the rare few from any sport that made a game look effortlessly beautiful. Thanks for the memories.
+Elana McClements Precisely, this was top act deception. Almost every strike he made he went with a slightly different angle and spin than usual, and that really messes up his opponents game flow. But Waldner could also win the longer rallys, he most often did actually. So he was indeed a fully fledged table tennis player.
Elana McClements And the thing is Waldner did know what the other players did. His classic no-movement blocks were possible because he anticipated where the ball would go and got there first, and of course had the touch to return it perfectly.
I just admire them... both of them! They are TT Legends and they made this sport being an art ... All TT Legends are inspiring us and they are giving us joy and passion to play ...
at 6:35 timo just couldn't hide his depression anymore...waldner just have this extremely tricky spins on his serves and returns.... 1. great server 2. smart backhands 3. superb ball placements 4. fast reflexes (for his age) 5. extreme accuracy with loops and drives 6. great blocking and defense 7. A true gentleman of the sport 8. Simply the Best package 9. All Time Best 10....MY IDOL......hehe...peace yah all guys!
Their table tennis history is pretty rich... Stellan Bengtsson and of course Jorgen Persson to name a few. Together, Waldner and Persson were a HUGE factor in beating the Chinese as the top team in the world. As far as current players... well, they have a few strong players.. but not in the world top 50 and Persson... is their 2nd highest ranked player STILL!!! So the near future of Sweden... well... won't be quite as strong as it was in the 80's and 90's. 8>)

The Chinese don't play Boll like Waldner did so his experience is irrelevant.Go watch him play against Moregard,he has the exact same problems as he did with Waldner 20 years ago.

You are comparing wrongly. Pele is not better than average premiere league attacking player. But everything was different in his time. And Waldnerplayed in his time. Because of him china changed their TT training system. if waldner were a young TT player today, he would easily on par with Ma long and fan zhenfong, would dominate all other chinese guys.

Man, Waldner must have been frustrating to play with! Not being able to anticipate what's coming next. You can see Timo getting frustrated from not being able to hit back simple service returns.
Timo is an excellent player, however, Waldner recognized his weaknesses and played them to his advantage. Notice most the Waldner's points are on Timo's backhand!
This video is great tutorial. How to play against an agressive topspin player when he is remarkably younger/faster. Non spiny loops, untraditional and disruptive service returns and blocks were Waldner's weapons against TB and also against other opponents. Normally, people learn certain techniques and tactics, usually just use them, occasionally add new surprising things. But Mozart Waldner always confused his opponents and audience. i sometimes watch this video again and again at 05X to improve.

This is remarkable! I assumed he would retire after they changed the ball size at the age of 37 for Waldner. I completely new sport basically! Instead at the age of 40 he beats all the upcoming stars of the world to reach the Olympic final! That alone makes him the master of masters!
In TT he's the best player of his generation (although as long as he played that is hard to describe). The really great TT players could play with any generation of pro's, and Waldner could do that easily.
Boll scored like 5 winners and 3 unreturned serves in the whole match.He rarely goes for his shots, mostly tries to draw errors with his slow loops.Rather unremarkable style compared to Waldi.
China dominate world TT since 20 years, but even the best chinese players dont have the magic, charisma and natural born talent than J.O.W, the poker face. I guess he was born with a TT bat. True legend

And this year, 19 years later, Timo played a new generation of Swedish table tennis players in the final of the European Championship. Both are legends.
@@mariomoraga3891 waldner dosifica, no se desgasta, por eso ha podido estar en 3 décadas, siempre arriba, eso no lo puedo hacer nadie, solo Boll y Sansonov
Nevermind didn't read the description... Just figured that since the title described a match, it would show both sides rather than all the points from one player.
What a pity!! Timo. Best result was quater final in Olymics. In London, He lost in round of 16 same as 2000, 2008. Considering his age, London may be the last Olympics for him.
incredibble match!! The old to the new, with waldner as winner, but Boll is nwo doing what waldner already did! accept for the WC's and Olympic medals for now!!
This video is a little too heavily biased towards Waldner. We all know Waldner is the greatest, but Timo put up a good fight and made some good points too.
Es genügt doch nicht gegen ein Waldner in dieser Verfassung! The commentator here was a big part of the pleasure. Größte Respekt vor der Leistung Kommentators auch!
These two have such defining playing styles that I could recognize them without seeing their faces. In fact, I could do it just by looking at their legs. Waldner doesn't have much of a foot work other than stomping on the floor. And TBoll likes to do a Sumo squat just before receiving a serve. 😂
Waldner is legend,Boll didn't win anything.And don't tell me about the Chinese 'cause if Waldner was lefthanded like Boll he would have won at least 5 WTTC.Imagine Waldner's forehand hook going to the backhand of penholders.That would be massacre.
It took years for the Chinese to analyze and beat waldner.He faced three generations of Chinese factory of players.The points were changes from 21 to 11.The Ball was changed to 40mm which took the opportunity from defensive oriennted players.Today's players are just robots and no one has the grace like Jo waldner.
@@Luca33600 Actually Waldner was more afraid of Karakasevic than Boll.Boll's all spin zero speed game doesn't work against him. A half decent Waldner beats Boll 9 out of 10 times.Even Rosskopf was more of a challenge for him. To beat Waldner you need solid defence and great power.Boll had neither of those.
Waldner's appearance at the 2004 Athens Olympics is one of the classic moments in table tennis history and a prime example of his strengths.

Surely, JO Waldner was a genius in table tennis. But in 2004 he didn't reach the Olympic Final, at the end "only" Number 4 without a medal.
So good at seeing the gaps as they opened.
What a fabulous player.
After The 3rd set. Timo Boll, seemed like he lost all hope..
I have to admit though, Waldner is to me. THE BEST PLAYER of all time.
In TT he's the best player of his generation (although as long as he played that is hard to describe). The really great TT players could play with any generation of pro's, and Waldner could do that easily.

And this year, 19 years later, Timo played a new generation of Swedish table tennis players in the final of the European Championship.
Both are legends.
Lo mejor de waldner, y por eso tiene ventaja sobre los demás, es el servicio.
🤡
Waldner es superior en casi todo excepto en potencia física y el puto spin que arruinó este hermoso juego y es casi pura tecnología de paleta
@@mariomoraga3891 waldner dosifica, no se desgasta, por eso ha podido estar en 3 décadas, siempre arriba, eso no lo puedo hacer nadie, solo Boll y Sansonov
@@luisalbertogarciaprieto6518 jajaja. Justo mis 3 favoritos. Wena bro
Great quality, Yeah JO Sweden for life :)
Nevermind didn't read the description... Just figured that since the title described a match, it would show both sides rather than all the points from one player.
It says in the description...
What a pity!! Timo. Best result was quater final in Olymics. In London, He lost in round of 16 same as 2000, 2008. Considering his age, London may be the last Olympics for him.
It only shows the points waldner won.
JOV my favorite one
incredibble match!!
The old to the new, with waldner as winner, but Boll is nwo doing what waldner already did!
accept for the WC's and Olympic medals for now!!
Legende zu Lebzeiten 🙏 Maradona sagte: das war die Hand Gottes . Jan Ove Waldner hatte eine göttliche Hand.👍
The video always skips the points that Timo Boll won.....
this video is more like a tribute to waldner, we all know timo did some badass points to
This video is a little too heavily biased towards Waldner. We all know Waldner is the greatest, but Timo put up a good fight and made some good points too.
Es genügt doch nicht gegen ein Waldner in dieser Verfassung! The commentator here was a big part of the pleasure.
Größte Respekt vor der Leistung Kommentators auch!
These two have such defining playing styles that I could recognize them without seeing their faces. In fact, I could do it just by looking at their legs.
Waldner doesn't have much of a foot work other than stomping on the floor. And TBoll likes to do a Sumo squat just before receiving a serve. 😂
Both are legends
Waldner is legend,Boll didn't win anything.And don't tell me about the Chinese 'cause if Waldner was lefthanded like Boll he would have won at least 5 WTTC.Imagine Waldner's forehand hook going to the backhand of penholders.That would be massacre.
Why u only put the nice points from waldne? i think timo boll had also a good level at that time and he did nice points in that match tho.
Well, it *IS* titled "Waldner's points."
The point of the video was basically a tribute to Waldner.
We are interested of the King.
Boll made like 5 winners in whole match.He has a very boring game,just plays slow loops and counterloops near the table.
Who said you needed long pips for deception? Waldner himself proves that you can be tricky otherwise!
5:08 wtf is that person in the crowd doing?
but the Swedish magic is short lived and the Swedish is also just another robot just more subtle
Piyu Huang It wasn't "short lived". 1983-2001 is not "short lived".
It took years for the Chinese to analyze and beat waldner.He faced three generations of Chinese factory of players.The points were changes from 21 to 11.The Ball was changed to 40mm which took the opportunity from defensive oriennted players.Today's players are just robots and no one has the grace like Jo waldner.
3:11 Jonas Sjöstedt? hahah
hahah är det den dåren?
How could Timo Boll lose that 1-4 ? 1-4 !
Waldner was in His prime
@@arnehammarlind4420 no. He was in his prime in 1996 but not in 2004
@@Luca33600 Actually Waldner was more afraid of Karakasevic than Boll.Boll's all spin zero speed game doesn't work against him.
A half decent Waldner beats Boll 9 out of 10 times.Even Rosskopf was more of a challenge for him.
To beat Waldner you need solid defence and great power.Boll had neither of those.
okay, none of timo's points were shown at all in this video
I think Timo Boll didn't have enough experiment at that time,however, Waldner was an old, famous player
daaamn. didn't know Arnold Swarchzenegro is that good in table tennis.
🤣 🤣
ワルドナーは対左シェークドライブマンには滅法強い☆ ライバルにアペルグレン、リンド、ウルフベンクソン 先輩にステランベンクソンと色んなタイプの左ドライブマンがいたからだと思う。 よって、全盛期のボルもかなわなかったんだろう✨
anyone that notice that the guy said, 3 set waldner serve 3:44
Best of the video was 4:02
