@maxk880 Invented several serves. Swe / Euro / World + Olympic gold singles. European Championship final at the age of 16. 1997: World Table Tennis Champ. 7 matches, 3-0, didn't lose a single game. Fourth place Olympic games in Athens 38 years old (after knocking out the 2 highest ranked players and losing to the player ranked #3). 38 years old and still world class in one of the most reflex demanding sports. Around 44 years old atm and still active in the German bundesliga at top level.
@capezproduction yes idk why i said that :p...... anyways yes, he can win because he can read the mind of the chinese, thats the point where timo boll still loses
Deng Yaping was good internationally because of her tricky fiddler game that foreigners couldn't comprehend. Domestically she was not very successful because fellow Chinese knew how to deal with it. Zhang Yining was the better overall table tennis player.
He is arguably the best, though not the most metronomic performer, thus the silvers when he could have won more. A weakness for women & drink no doubt dulled his edge occasionally! At the highest level, the World Championships, he won medals over a 12 year period, significantly longer than any player in history (except Bergmann, just before & after WW2). This, along with his ability to surprise & delight with his play, is the reason for his following; and why the chinese fans revere him.
Every tournament is a streak of "natural" selections, so in the final you probably meet the strongest opponent. Winning a final is especially difficult, everything has to work out.
Jo plays like a penholder, although he uses shake hand bat. A lot of tinny tricks gave him easy points which saves energy, that why he remains competitive even he was 40+. Play using brain instead of mussel.

Exactly ... instinct and grace.
"Backhand, pang pang pang"
Så skön :D
le point a 3'26 est enorme... quel touché et quelle maitrise de jeu... chapeau l'artiste
Great video nice quality :) Jan Ove Waldner is the best ^^ ;)
In WC 97 he won Gold medal BUT he won it by winning 21 sets of 21 possible.. Thats ridicilous!
@ZeDuBreju Yes, it´s Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden
8:14 OOOYOYOYOYOYOYOYY - LOOOOOOL
More video from 1997 Manchester!!!! pls :)
you have to see the 2 points before to understand this service...by the way the best ace service in history.
@ZeDuBreju Yes its him
@hanchiman
Not totally unexpected really. There was no one behind Waldner, Persson and Appelgren who could pick up where they left off.
ohohohohoho!!
Can people down-vote the two top comments? I don't think they stand in parallel with the sportsmanship of Waldner, so please.
@capezproduction yes idk why i said that :p...... anyways yes, he can win because he can read the mind of the chinese, thats the point where timo boll still loses
Il maestro del block!

05:00 wtf :O
6:03
kmml1972 not zhang yining?? 2 grand slams??
+Logan Herman Women aren't real people.
+Trazan Apansson But Deng Yaping is also a woman. Lol
Loegend of tt
He was also ranked top 10 in the world for 18 years straight.
+Trazan Apansson widely regarded as the best of all time
waldner the best male player, Deng yaping the best female player of all time, nobody comes even close...
Deng Yaping was good internationally because of her tricky fiddler game that foreigners couldn't comprehend. Domestically she was not very successful because fellow Chinese knew how to deal with it. Zhang Yining was the better overall table tennis player.
omg not compantino again~
Anche quella signorina di boll si inchina.........
Kungen sitter och ser nöjd ut xD
he saw that his oponent standing in one corner so he served to another corner. thats very simple to understand.
donic schildkrot player
if he's the best table tennis player of all time why has he got so many silver and not gold?

I Don't like JO. Waldner Coach ....!
