LOL haha.  Wow I found those names very entertaining.

The chinese calls liu guoliang as "liu waibo"(liu web), which means he has a crooked neck.

Waldner is also just called: "JO", "Kungen" (the king (of tt)) and some also call him Mozart (as in the Mozart of tt)

Ulf "Tickan" Carlsson

(Gert B�rje) Stellan "Mini" Bengtsson

In Norway Karakasevic goes by "T�nna" which means something like the barrel. It probably commes from "�lt�nne" which means beer belly.

And some known nicknames, which really is just a shorter version of their names:

Appelgren - �pplet (the apple)
Fredrik H�kansson - Figge
Rosskopf - Rossi
Fejer-Konnerth - Zolli
Primorac - Primo
Ovtcharov - Dima
Samsonov - Samsi

o yeah!just like professional wrestling..

As I said, yes..?

I don t know any other Ovtcharov s than Dimitrij Ovtcharov amongst table tennis players.

If it was because I wrote his last name and not his first name, then I guess I have to mention that Zolli is a nickname for (Zoltan) Fejer-Konnerth too, so people can understand what I mean..

why is joo the ma lin killer? He has only beaten him 3 times? Oh and it reminded me of Jiang Huajun who is known as the Zhang Yaning killer.
