Met former Sweden natl player from 1980s/90s name "Peter" today at work

[Der_Echte]

Hi TTD,

Der_Echte and his big mouth met a very humble and skilled former Sweden National player named "Peter" near 60 yr old... forvive Der_Echte for not knowing deep enough history of TT.

Peter is new to the East Bay San Fran and Freemont TT Academy should be very honored to have him help out.

I did not get a pic and I had a brief 5 minute talk with Peter during one of his breaks and after my short shift was done.

I talked about this and that and this important thing and how to vary BH this way and that and all the time, I did not realize this man, more than 20 yrs ago, knew 10x more what I currently know.

TT is surely a small world ! I talked sincerely, but this man on his worst day is 20x better class than Der_Echte.

Most likely Peter Karlsson, European champion single, world champion double and I think four time world champion team. Belongs to the Waldner Persson generation. I envy you this meeting

Brings back memories from world cup in Chiba 1991! ”Life is bigger than table tennis, but table tennis can help”.

Hi Tyce,

Very good chance that is him. I did not ask his last name. He said he was from the Falkenberg club.

The only talking I should have been doing is to get him to discuss things on serve and serve receive.

I am sure he enjoyed the conversation with you.
some times having chats with people that doesn't know you are famous is a luxury
