My father had the opportunity to have a lunch with him : not only he is a great champion but he's also a gentleman! Thank you Jean Mi for your contribution to our sport!
Being able to play with him, watch him live and even had dinner with him and some other top players was amazing. A true table tennis legend and crazy performer on the court.
What an era...what a champion. We had such an amazing world class Belgian team and La Vilette competing at the highest level, beating the Borussia Düsseldorf. I began playing quite late at the age of 13 and reached the 1st national league, triggered by this inspirational champion.
t'es fou ou quoi; il n'avait ni revers ni service; uniquement des tchos, tchas et des tchis pour déconcentrer l'adversaire; on l'a surpris à mouiller la balle, lever la main pour dire let quand il ne sait pas remettre un service; il pince la balle au service; il mettait du chocolat sur l'essuie main de l'adversaire , faisait pipi dans les douches du côté de son adversaire, téléphonait en anonyme à 5 heures du matin avant d'affronter Waldner ou wang liqin pour le déconcentrer... euh qu'est ce qu'il faisait encore.... ah oui, pendant les tournois, dans les vestiaires avant les rencontres, il mettait du Julio Iglesias à fond à sa radio pour déconcentrer toujours et encore ses adversaires. Son classement réel devrait être débutant à aspirant.
too bad all these points are post-40mm. it was around 92-94 he was at his best. oh what a sight to behold. "the whirlwind" they called him in sweden. a master of forehand crackers even on Waldner serves

No
He is/was still alive in 2023 with no news of death at the time of writing.
@@guimakol Fact-check your answers and don’t declare people dead when they’re alive! 🤦♂️
Awesome!! But you missed the point against wang liqin
Wow, He´s Mansour Bahrami of table tennis :)
I loved players who stay far away from the table just defending

Haha definitely should have been a drop shot then.

Retired most likely. This tribute was made when he stop playing.
