JAN OVE WALDNER
Olympic Champion 1992
World Champion 1989 + 1997
Jan-Ove is known as the ‘Mozart’ of table tennis. He is a former Olympic and multiple World Champion and many people view him as the greatest ever table tennis player. In China he is hero worshipped and has even been immortalised on one of their stamps! He’s still playing at an unbelievably high level and recently won the*ITTF Legends Annual Table Tennis Challenge Event.*

JÖRGEN PERSSON
World Champion 1991
European Champion 1986
Jörgen is a former multiple World Champion and along with his fellow Swedish team mate Jan-Ove is viewed as one of the greatest ever table tennis players. In the 2008 Beijing Olympics at the age of 42 he astounded expectations and captured the hearts of the Chinese fans by reaching the semi-finals of the men’s singles and narrowly missing out on a medal.
