LIEBHERR 2013 World Table Tennis Championships, Paris, FRA May 13 - May 20 , 2013

[Tsuyoshi]

hello table tennis friends in europe!

in second quarter of the year the table tennis world will meet in paris to find it´s best.

what do you think: who will win?

men’s singles

women’s singles

men’s doubles

women’s doubles

mixed doubles

maybe again 5 times gold medal for china - but i have little hope for my nation! maybe japan will not win a gold medal - but maybe bronze medal!

it is a big dream that japan will have a silver medalist! i hope for jun mizutani, koki niwa, kasumi ishikawa and ai fukuhara.

who are the best opponents of europe? boll, ovtcharov and samsonov? or i forgot some other players? maze still injured?

europe can dream and hope! 10 years ago werner schlager made it - same country, same city! maybe same sports hall? nearly nobody thought, he will have a chance to win - but he did! who could be a new werner schlager?

in which individual events are the best chances to defeat the strong chinese players?
