2008 World Veterans Champioshiprs Videos

 

I am very sorry for the delay. I was off for over a month.

 

1. Lippelt showed me his racket after the match.  I haven't payed much attention to the brand of the blade. All I can remember is that it was a regular size wood, not a semi-large type used by choppers. In his homepage one can see that he (a long ago) was a German Champion in the 1.Bundesliga. He wrote a long report on his trip across Brazil, from the southern border from Argentina to the rain forrest in the Amazons.

 

2. I could not solve the problem with Megaupload. For this reason I uploaded again the match between Suzuki and Kohakura. But you can get it in the this site:

 

3. After watching the excellent videos of the Olympic Games, I am very interested in taking part in the next WVC in China. The organization was the best; notice that they used two extra cameras for close-ups of the contenders. I do not care being "skunked" by some veteran world champion ("there is honor  in defeat"). Only the stock market meltdown made me poorer in terms of dollar. 

 

2. If you have time read this interesting article about the Universal Library ("...the entire works of mankind ...available to all people...") published in The New York Times:

  Thank you very much for the Minoru Kohakura vs Kozi Suzuki match. They play impressive for their age. 

 Cheers
