Leider bekommt Timo, viel zu wenig aufmerksamkeit, was seinen Status angeht. Für mich locker auf einer Stufe mit Schuhmacher,Nowitzki, Graf und Becker. True Legend
Naja, Schumacher und Graf waren in ihren Sportarten weltweit überragend. Auch Nowitzki hat - wenngleich wohl niemand sagen würde, dass er der beste Basketballer aller Zeiten war - jedenfalls alles einmal gewonnen. Becker nicht, und Timo auch nicht (nie Olympiasieger, nie Weltmeister). Daher würde ich sagen: ein überragender Sportler in seiner Sportart, auch mit weitem Abstand der beste Deutsche, total sympathisch dazu, aber nicht in einer Liga mit Schumi und Steffi.
Sehe das eher so wie Frank. Wobei man sagen muss, dass die Asiaten (insb. China) halt auf einen ganz anderen Level spielen, während dies im Motorsport und Tennis halt die westliche Welt tut. Und das hat natürlich strukturelle Gründe. Wenn man nun beim Tischtennis die Asiaten raus nimmt, war Timo fast 20 Jahre der beste Europäer, sowohl in der Weltrangliste, als auch bei WMs, Open Turnieren, der Champions League im Vereinsport, als unzähliger Europameister und Deutscher Meister. Hier ist seine Dominanz einzigartiger, und IMHO größer als die von Federer über Europa oder Schumacher. Selbst Taylors enorme Dominanz im Darts ging über einen kürzeren Zeitraum. Nur, dass in diesen Sportarten die Asiaten halt keine Rolle spielen. Aber wenn dort Tennis zum Volkssport Nr. 1 wird und es diese heftigen Strukturen gibt, wo unzählige Kinder bereits im Kindergarten/Grundschulalter auf Akademien kommen, wo sie gedrillt werden, und es nur darum geht Profisportler zu werden, um die Familie aus der Armut zu holen, aber dabei halt alle anderen Fähigkeiten völlig vernachlässigt werden, dann wird es im Tennis so bald keine europäischen Weltranglisten 1. mehr geben. Das ergibt sich allein durch die Bevölkerungsanzahl und halt durch den enormen Drill. Da muss schon ganz Europa unter einer Flagge antreten, und China wäre zahlenmäßig immer noch im Vorteil.
One of the greatest Sportsman of all time. So sad that the most Germans didnt notice his achievements.. But maybe its cool and better for him to go threw the city without giving hundreds of selfies. I recognized him 20 years ago. He's still a beast and sportsmanlike in every situation. I dont know him personally but i bet he is a good human too. He deserves any award that Germany has.
True legend. I recently had a chance to watch him live and i must say, it's much better live and i've never seen a player with such flawless technique. Happy b-day!
@@andersuhlin9529 hahahaha Waldner would lose against any modern day player, awful technique and and tactics which are not reliable today, boll is wayyy better, not to mention ma long
Timo is a legend and has earned a lot of respect around the world. I love and respect him a lot. He is thorough gentleman. He is a master of switch hand shots.
After Waldner, he is my favorite player, but Timo brings a tremendous added value to the game and the sport in general, his professionalism, his courtesy, his ethics... he is what we can truly call, a gentleman (besides, he's a machine while playing)!
Timo "Magic" Boll, indeed. Only European of modern era who can challenge the dominance of Asia, particularly China. I admire him a lot. He made his Olympic debut even before I was born and still playing. Living legend 💙
Magnificent Timo Boll!!! He is amazing both as an extraordinary TT player and as a personality. One of the sporting legends of his generation and a great ambassador for German and European sport. Always fun to watch his technical and intelligent game, always interesting to listen his views, always impressed by his true sportsmanship...
Idk if some of these clips just come from the fact that finding amazing points is probably a great undertaking, but the fact that several of these have come from the headband era while Timo is at least 34-35 is mindboggling that he keeps getting better.
@@jk9111 I have encountered such confusion that TH-cam deleted my account. So sad! If possible, please share our channel with everyone so we can rebuild from the beginning!
E legal quando o adversário reconhece a capacidade da jogada e aplaude, não é só porque foi com ele que deixa de ser sensacional, parabéns aos jogadores que fazem e aqueles que reconhecem 👏👏👏
While a non-stop Asian dominance was in table tennis, this guy lead the revolution of European table tennis (also Jan Ove Waldner), and that just makes him a god for the sport. Lots of love ❤️ to Timo, doesn’t matter you retire or not, you’ll always stay in our hearts forever
Ja, wenn man richtig ausgeschlafen ist dann übertrifft man sich selber ! Aber der Timo Boll und auch sein Gegner spielen schon ein schönes Table-Tennis ! Macht Spaß zuzuschauen !
Legend.
Oh hey pongfinity :)
Hi
u are also a legend
Hey you come to the 4er Tisch WM
Hi Pongfinity, big fan of your channel.

Naja,in Asien kennt ihn jeder und er meinte selber, dass er es gut findet in Deutschland nicht so bekannt zu sein.
@@tark5773 Bitte den Becker aus der Liste streichen, denn Legende ist er IMHO keine... ;-)

Tu sie pisze po angielsku Wy ignoranci.
#4 Wenn dein Gegner den Schläger weglegt, um dir zu applaudieren, dann hast du nen richtig guten Ball gespielt.
du meinst boll gespielt =)
Ausgeschupft...
Also come classy sportsmanship by the opponent
So true! Respect.
@@georgemichael77 absolutely. I got goosebumps when I saw the opponent's reaction

Timo boll personality is similar of son goku
The razor sharp hand eye coordination! The laser focus...movements, strokes, strategy...Boll is brilliant and a joy to watch.
You could make his 10 best hand switch shots! Pretty sure he has at least that number 😄
He did it twice in one match yesterday against Fang Bo :)
Oh, please. Nothing special here.
#tabletennisexperts
@@thenewguy7527 he *attempted* it twice, but only succeded hit the ball once
He's the only player from which you'll even find 10 hand switch shots 😂
I am amazed there is no comment on 3:05 That guys reaction is priceless
100% agree
this is the kind of mentality I want to see in all sports
There is a 7 month old German comment about it :)
I wouldn't say priceless but appropriate xd
Gave me massive respect for that guy the instant i saw it
@@jaxamillian1 I think his gesture was sarcastic because he had a meltdown after missing his service on Boll's set point.
the smile on rosskopf´s face at the end of the last 4:42 point says it all probably on of the best tabletennis rallys ever
True legend. I recently had a chance to watch him live and i must say, it's much better live and i've never seen a player with such flawless technique. Happy b-day!
I saw him back in 2001, what a luck!
@@gustavoc6812 Wow thats long time ago
Amazing player. Almost the level of the true legend J-O Waldner
@@andersuhlin9529 hahahaha Waldner would lose against any modern day player, awful technique and and tactics which are not reliable today, boll is wayyy better, not to mention ma long
@@gigliolavaccari7482 bruh
Bottom text
The fact that he is 40 and still going strong is unbelievable.
He retired today. Sad day but at the same time, we will remember this legend!!!
Ma Long's worst enemy: Timo's backhand
Zhang Zike's BH
I agree because ma long has at least lost 5 points becuase of that!
Timo's backhand is storng because he is left hand.
@@kittinatchaichanadee88 I'm sure anyone with enough training has amazing backhands
#lottosuperliga
Happy birthday legend!
Timo is a legend and has earned a lot of respect around the world. I love and respect him a lot. He is thorough gentleman. He is a master of switch hand shots.
I mean how many times have you seen someone dropping their racket just to applaud to the epic shot of an opponent? Timo is a genius!
After Waldner, he is my favorite player, but Timo brings a tremendous added value to the game and the sport in general, his professionalism, his courtesy, his ethics... he is what we can truly call, a gentleman (besides, he's a machine while playing)!
Timo Boll legend forever
Commentator rightly praised 'Timo Magic Boll'. He is a gifted player to this wonderful sport. Loads of respect 🙏🙏🙏
That #1 is so outstanding in every shot Timo Boll plays. I ❤️ it!
It almost looks as if it’s not real. The creativity, the execution, the confidence. Just unreal.
the last one. oh my god, hand switch and level of skill.
Genius!
He is the Roger Federer of TT!
Roger Federer is the Timo Boll of tennis* ;)
But he didn't win as many titles as RF did

I think Waldner fits that role better than Timo
As a chinese who is living in Germany, meeting boll is one of my dreams.
He’s my most respected foreign player.
Mit Liebe

sorry but you wasa wrong ... sweden is nr 1 but timo boll is classic

Könnte Timo stundenlang zusehen. Mega Sportler und immer sehr menschlich und sympathisch
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag Timo!
Ich wünsche dir, dass du diese Qualität weitere 38 Jahre halten kannst. :)

Always fun to watch his technical and intelligent game, always interesting to listen his views, always impressed by his true sportsmanship...
That backhand from below the hight of the table against Ma lin was legendary
The commentator at number 1 is the best😀
No............come on..........What????🤣🤣
Adam Bobrow
TheNyulszeru agree
Epic 🤣🤣🤣
I've watched that part 10 times 😂🤣
It’s Adam bobrow, he has his own yt channel based on tt as well
TImo! what an absolute legend of the sport! Happy Birthday!!!!!
This guy is the best in the world, a tennis medieval and crazy love you bro
I love the show of respect at 3:06
He is the Legend! respect from Belarus!
Jun Mizutani falling to the ground at 3:46 is probably the funniest thing I've seen all day😅
One of the best videos I ever watched
ボルがパリ五輪前の最後の大会を終えたので見に来ました。ボルは20年間も世界のトップで戦い続け、たくさんの功績を残しました。そして彼は強いだけでなく、試合中も紳士な心を忘れませんでした。彼は卓球界の伝説です。パリ五輪での活躍を楽しみにしています。ありがとう、ボル!!
I don't disagree with the top point. Absolutely amazing! It should've won the best point of the year imo.
Idk if some of these clips just come from the fact that finding amazing points is probably a great undertaking, but the fact that several of these have come from the headband era while Timo is at least 34-35 is mindboggling that he keeps getting better.
1:40 Adam Bobrow on helium
Alongside with a decent german accent
That number one!!! Good grief I've never seen a forehand like that. 🤯
Amazing! Happy birthday to one of the sports biggest legends! Sams Geburtstag viel glög, Timo! :D
Just Genius. No word to explain him.
I love Timo boll 💓💓

Le dernier point est énorme, tellement de respect pour Timo !
Timo Boll is simply one of the great stars of this magnificent sport.

Great call from the commentator on #1 too

This is your level when you do 100 press ups, 100 sit ups and 10km run every day
Saitama
THE POWER OF THE BAND ON HIS HEAD
The last point is absolutely mental. He had a very long and successful career. I'm sure we will see him as a coach for the Germans in the future.
Oh my goodness ... what a spin in his shots nr. 1
That lost shot is absolutely 100% dark magic
That last shot forehand/backhand/whatever was unreal!
Legendary and most sympathic table tennis player in the world!
#1 and #3 are absolutely unbelievable
Happy birthday Timo Boll

What a luxury to see him making art in table tennis
Well done! Timo is a great fellow!
The spin on the last one though. I don't think anyone would be able to return that!
Merci Carlito pour ce message qui me permets de visionner encore et encore du ping pong ^^
