Commonwealth Games Manchester 2002
 

The team events of the Commonwealth Games are finished. England with Syed, Herbert and Perry beat Nigeria 3-0.

After Nigeria's 3-0 victory over Singapore in the semi-final, it had been expected a tough match. Herbert surprised with a 3-2 victory over S. Toriola.

In the semis, England beat India 3-0 (Herbert beat C.Baboor).

Singles and doubles are about to start today.

Who won the Commonwealth Games the last time? What other `popular´players (except Syed etc.) are in Manchester, too?

Last time, Syed beat Baboor in a very tight final that he described himself as "the most emotional match I've ever played".

For the Commomwealth countries, this competition is a real highlight within the table tennis season - as well as for the other sports, of course.

Some more players which are well-known in Germany are Ryan Jenkins, Adam Robertson and Jong Dun Juan (Singapore/Munscheid).

http://www.commonwealthgames.com/Spo...is/default.asp
I was told that all tickets were sold out. Are there any lucky ticket holder here in this forum ? Your impressions ?
Bye.

Oh, a few moments ago i read the results, Segun Toriola won against Johnny Huang in the final with 3:11,11:9,6:11,11:7,12:10,11:9. Bronze winners are Chetan Baboor and Duan Yong Jun.

And when i look at the sother results of the men singles i nowhere find syed, i think he didn't play in the singles.

Syed lost 2-4 to Duan in the quarterfinal.

Oh yes, i just read the group results and the results of the final and semifinal, so i just didn't see him *g*

@ trendyandy
 

Who is Segun Toriola? I don´t know him. Can you tell me something about this player?

I must say, that i don't know him, too. I just read the results and copied them here, but i have not ever heard his name before :-(

Segun Toriola
 

Toriola is N°1 of Nigeria and is African Champion in singles and mixed doubles with Bossedé Kaffo (men's doubles I don't know...:D ).

He plays in Rotterdam and in a good form he can beat almost anybody!
