I had the unique pleasure of interviewing Timo Boll a little earlier this year. Here are a couple of his responses and a link to the interview if you want to check out more. On a side note, everything good you hear about Timo is true! He is a sportsman a gentleman and a legend!
"One of your most outstanding performances was winning the 2005 World Cup where you defeated some incredibly tough opponents from China. What was it on that day that really made you perform at such a high level? Or what preparations prior to the competition made a big difference?
Before the competition I was in a bad shape. I was even thinking about it to cancel the tournament to have a rest. Even in the group stage, I wasn't that strong, but suddenly my run started in the quarterfinal against Wang Liqin! That gave me a lot of self confidence!
How do you feel about your ability to compete with the Chinese players now compared to before? Overall how do you feel about your form going into Rio next year?
Of course I’m physically weaker than 10 years ago, but my technique improved. It will be hard to beat them all again for me, but if I’m standing in the box, I want to win, doesn't matter which opponent.
In terms of your career do you have any concrete plans for after the Rio Olympics?
No plans, I will continue to play."
