Oh Sang Eun & Persson Warm Up

[Dan]

Last week on the 20th November 2011 saw the ITTF Pro Tour SWISS table tennis Open in Lausanne

In the videos are Korea's Oh Sang Eun and Sweden's legend Jorgen Persson. You can see how the pro's warm up before competition!

Enjoy

Very true, I was thinking the same thing! Looks like its so fun behind the scenes! They must learn a lot from each other I can imagine

 

[PlasmaLight]

yeah and on some tournements they know, they dont have to think about winning, but thinking about having fun at their ages they just play for fun and not to win, i think

Just out of curiosity, with whom do you usually do your warm up, Sarah? Do you do it with your fellow competitors? I mean, like China, they have a big squad, so can train and warm up against each other, how about you?

In Bolls book, he said, that he was on a tournement and had no warm up partner. so he asked his father, who is a bloody beginner. and timo played that hard, that his father could control the ball and bring him back. and it was fun for timo

He should just have asked someone from the crowd There are always decent players in the crowd who would love to play against Boll and he could get a decent warm-up xD.

Great video's, especially for me. Being 1.95m, I can defenitely learn from their strokes

yeah the next time, when a tournement is in magdeburg, i will be an assistant/helper and try to play with some stars would really like to know, how much spin they have in their serves and topspins.

Nice to see these old legends still going. It sounds like their rackets are glued up. Probably the video sound quality though. Nice snap to their contact.

Wow really! Funny you have said this Plasma because my best friend Gavin Rumgay who is a pro. He is around 220 in the World and sometimes at tournaments in England when its busy he cannot get a practice partner. So he will practice before his match with who ever he can fine to warm up. And sometimes it can be a player no where near his level. But he says as long as they can push and block first ball its okay . Interesting isn't it

He has even done 2 hour training sessions like this.

I'm pretty sure when Oh played at the Euro League he was coached by Jorgen or they played on the same team. So we know they're probably really good friends.

And they do look like they like each other and are having fun hitting together. Nice to see.
