ITTF-European Olympic Qualification Tournament to be held in Halmstad, Sweden

n light of the recent attacks in Turkey, the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) wishes to convey its condolences to the victims, and all the people living in Turkey.
Due to the present circumstances in Turkey, the European Table Tennis Union (ETTU) has come to a conclusion to reschedule the ITTF-European Olympic Qualification Tournament that that was originally scheduled to be held in Istanbul, Turkey from 6 – 10 April 2016.
ETTU President, Mr. Ronald KRAMER stated “It is with great reluctance that the ETTU Executive Board – in full cooperation with the ITTF – had to take this action. But under the current circumstances in Istanbul, many of the European member associations, players, coaches and others have informed us of their great concern in this period of time to travel to Istanbul. ETTU understands these concerns and also holds the opinion that from a human point of view it may even be unfair to ask our Turkish colleagues to continue preparing the event.”
The new location for the tournament has since been confirmed to be in Halmstad, Sweden, to be staged from 12 – 16 April 2016.
Mr. KRAMER stated in a letter addressed to the ETTU member associations that “The Swedish Table Tennis Association has done a great job in these difficult times and will do their utmost – with assistance of our Danish colleagues – to stage this important event to the best of our abilities. Our thanks must also go to the city of Halmstad, which has shown great support under big pressure.”



He added “We sincerely feel sorry and want to thank our Turkish colleagues for all the work they have done under very difficult circumstance.”

Olympic Champions Claim Single Titles in Kuwait

Grand Slam Champions ZHANG Jike and LI Xiaoxia of China came back to reclaim the Men’s and Women’s Singles title here at the 2016 ITTF World Tour Kuwait Open held from 16 – 20 March 2016.

ZHANG, who won the title back in 2013, has been suffering several defeats on the international table tennis in 2015, was on fire and determined to prove himself here in Kuwait.

The highly anticipated men’s singles final saw the reigning Olympic champion face off with current world number one MA Long who has had a great year in 2015, claiming all 3 major titles available in 2015 – World Champion, Men’s World Cup Champion, and World Tour Grand Finals Champion. ZHANG eventually prevailed 4-1 (11-9, 11-9, 5-11, 13-11, 11-9) to break MA’s dominance.

After his victory, the 28-year-old, whose last international singles title was at the 2014 Men’s World Cup, stated: “Throughout the tournament, I was in form both physically and mentally, especially as the tournament progressed, things just went better. We know each other very well, so it’s normal that it was a close match. Even though I won 4-1, those 4 games were just by a 2-point margin.”

“I won because of my mindset. Ma Long is in top form lately, and has been winning many major titles in the past year, so I was ready to go all out to fight tonight. I think the most important aspect of competition is when both parties give their best to fight in the match, that’s most respectable.”

ZHANG also won the men’s doubles title together with team mate XU Xin, whom he won the 2015 men’s doubles world championships title with. The duo defeated Hong Kong’s HO Kwan Kit and TANG Peng 3-1 (6-11, 11-9, 11-8, 11-5) to strike gold in Kuwait.

In the women’s singles event, LI Xiaoxia became the first female player to successfully defend her title, after beating 2015 World Champion DING Ning 4-1 (11-6, 2-11, 11-9, 11-9, 11-8).

“I haven’t been having systematic training for quite some time due to my injuries so I have never thought that I could win,” stated the surprised champion. “I think my mentality helped in my victory, because I came here without any expectations.”

In an all-Chinese women’s doubles final, DING joined forces with world number one LIU Shiwen to overcome teammates LI and ZHU Yuling 3-0 (11-4, 11-6, 11-5) to avenge both their losses against the Grand Slam Champion in the singles event, to take home the title.

The under-21 men’s and women’s titles were won by Brazil’s Hugo CALDERANO and Japan’s Hina HAYATA respectively.

The 2016 ITTF World Tour Super Series continues in Qatar from 23 – 27 March 2016, with the world’s top table tennis all gathering in the city Doha.

Amazing Michael Maze Retires from Table Tennis

"The time has come", stated the Danish legend on his official facebook page. "I have made the most difficult decision of my career. My time as a top table tennis player has come to an end!"

"In consultation with my doctors and management, we came to this very difficult decision", explained MAZE. "I had hoped to compete at this summer's Olympic Games in Rio but my body just can't take it anymore. After several operations, I can no longer train one hundred percent without pain and therefore not compete at the level I'm used to."

"I want to thank especially my family, friends, and my sponsors Freklame A/S, Butterfly and 'NaturEnergi, as well as my fans from the bottom of my heart. I'm forever grateful for all the support given throughout my whole career", concluded MAZE.

MAZE's crowning achievement was becoming the 2009 European Champion, beating the 2003 World Champion Werner SCHLAGER (AUT) in the final, and winning bronze with Finn TUGWELL in the Men's Doubles event at Athens 2004 Olympic Games

However, whatever accolades MAZE has to his name, he will be remembered most of all for one match and perhaps for one point above all others.

At the 2005 World Table Tennis Championships in Shanghai, he had caused a major upset in the fourth round by beating the host nation's WANG Hao in four straight games.

In the next round, the quarter-finals, MAZE faced a relative newcomer to the Chinese National Team, HAO Shuai.

The odds were stacked against Michael Maze, he had played HAO Shuai on two previous occasions and lost.

It seemed he was odds on to lose a fourth when, having lost the first three games, he trailed 7-9 in the fourth and served into the net, giving the Chinese star three match points.

MAZE managed to saved two match points but the end seemed nigh as with the score at 10-9. Once again MAZE was pinned to the court surrounds. The only way for the Dane to return the ball was to lean forward, fall on his knees and scrape a return. Hao Shuai panicked, an attempted forehand smash, flew high and wide.

After saving these three match points MAZE progressed to win the game and the next three to secure the match to give MAZE legendary status despite losing in the semi finals to MA Lin.

2016 World Championships Breaks TV Viewership Records

A total of 190 million people in China alone tuned in to watch the world's biggest table tennis event live on CCTV5 between 28 February to 6 March 2016 over the 50 hours of live telecast on the network.

On hearing the record figures, ITTF's Marketing Director Steve Dainton stated: "We are ecstatic with the TV viewers in China, Japan and other territories around the World. The World Table Tennis Championships continues to prove the enormous interest of the sport and even in these countries. It's our goal now to increase the number of territories to have similar interest globally, it's a great challenge, but these figures show that due to the popularity of our wonderful sport that it is for sure achievable!"

An average of 22 million people tuned into CCTV5 to watch the Men's Final between China & Japan, and 60 million people watched at least 1 minute of the match that China won to become the World Team Champions.

Mr Pierre Justo, Managing Director of CSM Media Research-KantarSport Asia, whose company supplied these figures to the ITTF stated: "With close to 200 million unique viewers and a Men's Final which is the sports program with the highest viewership in 2016 (60 million reach for the Men's Final alone), the 2016 World Team Championships also has the best table tennis audience in more than five years.

The 2016 World Championships again shows that table tennis is a massive sport in China and attracts the interest of a wide spectrum of the Chinese population.

The TV audience from Kuala Lumpur is similar to other top sports audiences in 2015, such as the Football Asian Champions League Final, the Women's Volleyball World Cup Final and the IAAF World Championships.

"It's also worth adding that such impressive results were not only noticed in China. The audience numbers released in Japan show that millions of viewers were also in front of their TV sets to support their national teams, in such high levels never seen before for table tennis in Japan, where football, baseball, sumo or running races usually top the sports audiences."

As mentioned by Mr Justo, Japanese audiences tuned into the Perfect 2016 World Team Table Tennis Championships in record numbers. Rights holder TV Tokyo received a record 15% market share for TV viewers in Japan for the Women's Final, which is close to a record for the network for Sunday night viewing.

The event host broadcaster Astro also showed support to the World Championships gaining a reach of over 2,200,000 in Malaysia.

Figures for the other 87 territories over 14 networks that took the 54th edition of the World Championships live will be released shortly.

ITTF to Set up Working Group to Review Structure of Major Events

The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) have decided to set up a working group to study the structure and format of the ITTF's future major events.

The decision was made at the ITTF Board of Directors (BoD) meeting held during the Perfect 2016 World Team Table Tennis Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Board of Directors also decided that the 'Planning and Promotiom' group will have to come up with a proposal to the Executive Committee by the end of this year on the concept and direction the ITTF wishes to take.

Following the creating of the working group, ITTF's CEO Judit Farago stated: "During the 2016 World Championships, it became more apparent that the ITTF needs to take a look at it's major events to ensure they arestructuredin a way to ensure the maximumcommercialand promotional benefits to the ITTF and international table tennis."

Based on the Swedish 2018 World Team Championships organizers' latest update report on the conditions in Halmstad, the Board decided that a maximum of 72 Men's and 72 Women's teams will participate at the 2018 World Team Table Tennis Championships.

At the same time, the Board did not exclude further changes if the working group comes to such conclusion within its mandate.

At the meeting, the Board confirmed the allocation of several upcoming major junior events:

• 2016 World Cadet Challenge allocated to Shanghai, China
• 2017 World Cadet Challenge allocated to Suva, Fiji
• 2018 World Junior Championships allocated to Riva del Garda, Italy

The Board of Directors also gave the mandate to the Executive Committee to approve the ITTF Code of Ethics and Code of Prevention of Manipulation of Competitions documents, and to add them to the ITTF Handbook with effect of 1st September 2016.

#ITTFWorlds2016:India win two gold medals in World Table Tennis team championships

Indian men's and women's team scripted history by clinching the gold medals at the World Table Tennis Team Championships with superb victories over Luxemburg and Brazil respectively on Saturday.

Indian eves beat Luxemburg 3-1 in the event final of the Second Division, while their male counterparts overcame a stiff Brazil 3-2 here.

India had sealed their entry in the Champions Division last night after reaching the finals.

Incidentally, this was the first time ever that the women's team kept a clean slate - eight wins - in the first and the second stages. The men, on the other hand, bounced back after losing their only group match against Nigeria to achieve the exceptional honours.

In the women's team final, Mouma Das gave a winning start to her team when she defeated Danielle Konsbruck 3-0 in a quick bust. Manika Batra then put behind yesterday's loss and began with a bang, leading 2-0 against Tessy Gonderinger, who managed to grab the third game. However, Manika clinched the fourth game to win 3-1 and provide India with a 2-0 lead.

Despite the cushion, K Shamini was unable to take advantage and lost her singles to Sarah De Nutte in straight games but Manika beat Danielle 3-0 in the reverse singles to wrap a memorable win for India.

"It was a great experience for all of us. We will remember this feat at KL for a long time to come," said Manika Batra after completing the win.

"I am happy I started well and our combined efforts and consistency throughout have paid us dividends," added Mouma.

In men's team final, Harmeet Desai hogged the limelight as India eked out a narrow win.

With two hard-fought wins on Friday, the team management decided to rest Achanta Sharath Kamal in the final against Brazil. But it seemed to be a wrong decision with India trailing 1-2 despite Harmeet pulling one back after Soumyajit Ghosh lost the opening rubber.

Worse was to come when Anthony Amalraj, who led 2-1 in the third rubber, went down to Thiago Monterio, putting India in a precarious position.

However, Ghosh made amends with a fantastic 3-0 win over Cazuo Matsumoto to keep the team hopes alive.

Harmeet then played the decider and he lost the first game but the Indian held his nerves to restore parity. The real turnaround in the rubber came when, trailing 6-9, Harmeet kept his cool and closed it down to 9-10.
Then when he deuced at 10-10 for the first time, it was a tense moment. After saving two game points and two deuces Harmeet won 15-13, much to the relief of the Indian camp.

Sharath said: "It is like a dream come true for me and the team because by 2018 if I am still in the team, we will be playing in the Championship Division for the first time," said the ace Indian.
