....the two-color-rule 1985...was a direct (ok, 5 years, the ITTF was slower then) consequence of Hilton's success...
|
As Mr. Sharara declared: Cai Zhenhua was the 'Bad Boy'.
His international success in Tokyo '83 and Novi Sad '81 was one of the main reasons for the new
colour rule.
Hiltons title in 1980 was unquestionably achieved because of his then rather strange material ( in his own words: "a very exotic
Anti Loop Rubber , received some weeks before the tournament from a friend from Austria").
But Hilton hits in Bern also a very lucky hour because most of his direct opponents in the single competition were notorious for their limited skills in playing against such 'material'. Especially Josef Dvoracek in the final. (A 'bear type', heavy player with an excellent backhand and dreaded opponent of Waldner in the Eighties).
After Bern 1980 Hilton played no important role in further European- or Worldchampionships. And was - unlike Zhenhua & Co. - not recognized as an international thread for the beauty of our sport.
Only mentioned on the edge & greetings
PS:
An invitation for a Barolo-Dinner in Roma ? Good idea.
But do it with style and pick out the ristorante with care:
Our President deserves a ripe
Monfortino (1971 or '78) from Giacomo Conterno - or at least an excellent vintage
Collina Rionda Riserva from good old Bruno Giacosa.
