Haha yes this was very difficult :) And you are right about that it's hard to not immediately celebrate the trick! :D I remember in the beginning we had the same problem :D It looks maybe a bit cooler when you don't celebrate it right away, but it is certainly difficult not to :) Yep, it's...

Yeah, it has been really spectacular how well you have been able to promote the sport in Spain with these tricks. We have done the same things with our full trick videos but haven't really tried to contact the Finnish media about this competition. Finnish newspapers never really writes anything...

Yep, as you said; it's cheap advertising and promotion to their channel and with the views they probably get it all back. But can't blame them, they are giving people the chance to win those great prizes which is a great thing. I don't really know about that CNT video, when I saw it the first...

Hi guys, So eventually we decided to participate in the Stiga ITTF trick competition. We were thinking that if we participate, we do it with a really hard trick and certainly an original one as our last year's ones didn't maybe look so impressive even though they were, aswell, really hard to...

Exactly Tony. That is the reason why I was also thinking until the very end whether or not to participate. The panel of judges would be the best way to make this competition fair for all. But on the other hand I understand that this is the way that ittf can afford to offer those prizes... I'm...

Great tricks again Josep :) This second trick certainly looks easier than it truly is. When you think about it it's very difficult to make 2 around the nets from the same side. People doesn't always think so much what really happens in the trick, most just wants to see some cool new stuff. For...

"I thought the match was best of 7 games, not 5. I would have played totally different if I had known it" :cool:

I thnk this is going too far.. Changing all possible rules will just have a negative impact for the sport IMO. Strange that the ITTF have suddenly started to make and try so many new things to the sport

Just watched the show you had uploaded, remembered me of their show in Helsinki :) They are so good at it, always entertaining to watch. Also really nice interview, must have been awesome for you to meet them personally and play against Waldner :p

Nice review. So it's really just matches about once per week? At Beijing Shichahai we had matches every day, probably 1/3 of the time if not 1/2. I think that was really good. Playing matches against different players is really good training. Multiball was another big thing there too, the...

Does someone else remember Chen Weixing also doing that same thing? :D It's just that he did it to show his frustration/anger and Rumgay did it for joy :)

Haha yes, and who knows the kid might be a world champion later :)

Go Miikka and rest of team Finland! ;)

Those training schools/centers have tournaments against each other and this 7 year old had won the competition and the coaches there said also that he is the best one in China (=World also) in his age. And the coaches there were really good, 1 of our coaches had won the Chinese Junior (17 years)...

Indeed there is those incredible young players! During our trip there we got to play against the best 7-year-old kid in the world, you just can't imagine his level without being able to see it with your own eyes. Really spectacular.. Table tennis has to be one of those very few sports in the...

Yep have fun :) I bought a lot of good training shirts for about 3euros each at the extremely cheap shopping centers. A lot of good and cheap things to buy there :p

I think there are 16 years between the signing of Stiga's Liu Guoliang and Xu Xin. Awesome prize! Good luck everybody! :)

Haha sooo awesome to even read this! Surely a memory of lifetime for Adam :) Would be cool to read more of this kind of "behind the scenes" things of World Tours etc in the future :)

Same, the site is really user-friendly on mobile too now :) Good job with this TTD&Dan! :)

I think it can be good promotion for the sport in the way that Josep, the last year's winner, showed us. He was featured on several news sites' videos which is great promotion IMO. But that's really it.. Yeah, if we participate I'm sure that I won't try to promote it even nearly the amount as...
