Professional table tennis siblings

Table Tennis Reborn · Sep 22, 2016

Its amazing how time and time again we see a table tennis family that produces two or three children who play professional table tennis. See gauzy family. Simon has 2 brothers who all play professionally. One is paul gauzy and he has a younger one aswell. Also robinot brothers alexandre and quentin. Also playing in the bundesliga are the qui brothers dang and liang. Its amazing how many do play.

The question is ive noticed a trend occuring. The younger brother in all of these cases is better than the older one.

Surely they have the same enviorment and genetic predisposition to tt.

In relation to the qui brothers both play bundesliga . Both the younger seems a lot better with a much stronger style. Any ideas why brothers are vastly different when there dad is a coach.

Id argue that the little brother always competes with the older one and therefore is a lot better for his age group.
Also the little brother absorbs all the knowledge and experience of the older brother.
I think its a common sight in sports to see the younger one prevail over time.

Should I mention the Alguetti brothers(Adar, Sharon, Gal)? Or the Hugh(Adam and Judy) family?

Wow i didnt know they were so many more table tennis siblings. Yes kenta matsudaria is a lot better than kenji.

Its facinating, i think in table tennis there is a lot more emphasis on coaching and techniques , therefore the younger is always better as he absorbs all of the coaching and technical skills of his older brother.

Does anyone know any other famous table tennis siblings ?? Does harimoto have a younger brother

Not sure if this is meant as some kind of joke, but I'm pretty certain that they are not related...?

Even stranger if both of them defender. We cant defense if the opponent did not attack. [emoji6]
