TIMO Boll training

[markog99]

Before Paris my friend Petra Petek went to Düsseldorf for the preparations (she is a representative for Croatia).There were Kalinikos Kreanga,Thiago Apolonia;Patrick Baum, and many other stars.There was no sign of Timo Boll.So she asked someone from there where he was.They said that he doesnt train and that he only needs one training to be ready.So i wanted to ask if this is realy that big of a talent or does he traing somewhere privatly.


Discuss please DDD

I've seen plenty of videos of him training with other players... True, they're old, but still. Youtube it

yeah,but that was then.i have seen them too you know but i was suprised too when i heard it

That is, of course, not true. To be placed 5 on the world ranking list, and to maintain that position, you have to train alot. Timo Boll said before the WTTC, that he had been training ALOT and his form was great. You cannot perform on a high level without training, and certainly not only once. That is not true, I can guarantee that.

I agree with TableTennisDK. Timo looked really fit and sharp at the WTTC, You can't achieve that without training. It would be interesting to know where he was training and who with because it looked really effective to me.

In an interview he said since he is getting older so he has to spend more time doing physical exercises and workouts than time on the table compared to his fellow teammates however at that standard it would still be a lot of training

That is interesting.

I wonder how the physical fitness of the top players compares with other sportsmen. It would be interesting to see how They would do in different events, a bit like the old superstars TV programme that used to run in the UK.

Is a top 10 Tennis player or footballer fitter than a top 10 table tennis professional?

 

[Samuraisam 3467]

I would say fitter in different aspects such as footwork, legs forearm etc. most of the Chinese team probably is though ;P

Few months ago, i read somewhere that pro TT players are as fit/conditioned as football players...

This is an awesome idea I would love to see this happen!

i agree with you.I thought myself that this couldnt be true.thats why he wasnt anywhere to see in the training hall because he had a different shedule.
