European Championships 2016

even without the injury Boll is not the player he used to be alas. you can feel he's not as quick, or as powerful. Still its a pity because even far from his best, he was close to winning this championship. I think Gauzy was a slight favorite against Boll if we look at recent performances and recent form, but Boll has more experience and was handling the pressure better, that's why he won the first game.

It looks more and more likely Boll will retire soon (and Samsonov as well). The 2 big european champions of those last 15 (or 20 !) years will be gone...

When people read the rules and see Lebesson's serve in the future, they will know exactly what is wrong with table tennis.

That said, amazing serve and third ball table tennis from Lebesson. His forehand had no equal this week.

Booooooooooooring final

Come on - that's only because Gauzy lost easily - did you see some of those points? Lebesson was amazing...

I simply dont understand why people like Shibaev, Mengel and Lebesson are not getting punished for their obviously 1000% wrong serves. These referees are nothing more than unprofessionals counting points

Take off those several good rallies. Everything else is nothing to watch at all. No intense - nothing.
I expected even more better rallies because they know each other very well, but i was wrong.

Still congrats to France. They are on top of europe now.

Lovely - the medal podium wasn't designed two handle two bronze medalists in doubles...

Congratulations for Lebesson. Very constant game during the whole championship, focused 100%. He proved that soft sponge rubbers both on fh and bh can work very well at professional level, especially for his style - very fast swings close to the table.

What rubbers has he used, sorry to ask?

OK. If we believed such things without seeing the actual paddle, we would think Dima was using Bluefire.
