In this game held in 2001, they were not at same level as Waldner could easily beat JH even with some exhibition balls. I wonder why Waldner lost to JH in Olympic Games 1996.
+Raymond Wong Maybe he didn't feel well. Athletes have bad days too I guess. Even Kong lost in the Olympics in 1996. It is a bit strange though I agree. Maybe he was overconfident.
Besides that injury, he may have also been more focused on the European Championships in the same year, the last title he couldn't achieve so far and was very important to him.

Raymond Wong I think JH also play the game of his life 😂
He injured his thumb and couldn't practice.It was all over the news in Sweden before the Olympics commenced.
In that era Waldner wass most definitely superior to huang

That intro was a bit over the top for table tennis
