Here's a story about table tennis in Seoul in 1988.
This is the first time table tennis made its appearance in the Olympics. You can see legends such as: Tibor Klampar, Desmond Douglas, Jiang Jialiang, Chen Longcan, Ding Yi ... French side: Philou and Patrick Birocheau Merry Christmas ! File xvid 671 Mo 608x464 pixels : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MF0F45XN |

One of the greatest tournaments ever. The men's singles final between Yoo Nam Kyu and Kim Ki Taek was breathtaking. |

ICE592 this is some awesome table tennis!
This is some of the most fantastic action I have ever seen in one tournament.
Makes me wish back for those small ball, 21 point, 5 serve, glue bat , no red black days.
The variety of styles is amazing compared to nowadays and the rallies are awesome.
And Klampar! wow!
I dont mean to be greedy but ICE592 if you have more please let us have em!
(Did I mention I liked the video?)

Table tennis (= 21 points, small ball, 5 serves, speed glue, variety of styles) is much more interesting and spectacular sport compared to today's Basement Ping Pong ( =11 points, 2 serves, 40 mm. ball, no speed glue, banned long pips etc). |

It is very interesting to see technique of at least three generations presented before you, and competing against each other. Klampar and Ding Yi certainly play like a 1970s players, almost all the rest of them play in 1980s style except for Persson and Koreans who certainly resemble style of 1990s more than the others. Even Waldner, I think, is still playing the 1980s game...
and did you see young Lupi there? |

I also still don't understand how Jiang lost that quarterfinal against Lindh. Jiang was fast as a lightning bolt. Waldner has never played well against short pips players. He learned how to play Liu Guoliang after several defeats, but he struggled during his whole career. JO lost to: Jiang (87 Worlds), Kim Ki Taek (88 Olympics and 89 Worlds team), Guoliang (95 Worlds and later some protours), Johnny Huang (96 Olympics), Tasaki (97 Worlds team), etc. |

Even though these were the first players I saw on video, I'd never had a comprehensive look at the 1988 Olympics ... until now. Please accept my thanks. It was especially good to see the moody genius of Lezcek Kucharski of Poland. |

I remember it well! Yoo shouting 'Ossa!' after every point he won sticks in my mind. Lindh beating Jiang was the major talking-point; Jiang's-and China's five-year decline started from here. Jiang was very nervous,and Lindh,-who could be just as fast and tricky as Jiang,by the way-took advantage.Lindh took revenge for Waldner the year before. I'd love to know what Gatien is saying about each of the competitors,but his French is too fast for me. What was your source,Ice?? Have you got anything else like this from the same era? 1985 Worlds for instance (equally difficult to find videos of). |
