fun fact for all the non-table-tennis players out there: This match was done in celebration for the umpire's birthday, and the umpire himself isn't actually an umpire, he is actually a retired table tennis legend named Jan Ove Waldner :)
This does seem like something that RUclips would randomly recommend, but this time I was actually searching specifically for crazy table tennis matches
Jack Buchanan well the terms are interchangeable but I guess table tennis is what the professional sports league call it, but ping pong literally means table tennis
I know it's an exhibition/show match and not a serious game, but, holy crap, is this beautiful to watch. It's amazing watching pros setting up such theatrical shots and even communicating comedy through their gameplay. Just total control.
This was the best example of ideal sportsmanship I think I've ever seen. This was as heartwarming as it was entertaining. You could tell they were really trying, though they allowed eachother to have fun with it, eased up for stunts and laughs for the crowd, but in general seemed like they were really playing to win and trying to give the other the challenge because that's the fun in it, and the real reason for sport. I loved this, reminded me of how in the skateboarding world it's less about being a sport, and more of an encouragement and a sort of no teams means we're all on the same team pushing eachother into being great at the craft; the competition aspect is just a vehicle, an excuse to get together and put effort into something fun, rewarding and challenging. This was truly great!
@That Sports Guy Timo Boll and Jan Ove Waldner definitely have more titles than most Asians, Waldner who is Swedish is the second best players of all times behind Ma Long, you just said no with no arguments at all which shows your ignorance towards Table tennis, go learn some facts you knob.
I used to love playing ping pong it's so much fun. me and a buddy of mine were not too bad. we had some volleys like you guys did. Crazy stuff. I'm running facing the other way and I hit it and it still makes it back. love that feeling
I was gonna say, now this is true sportsmanship and respect from both players keeping the games going. Then I realised it's an exhibition match for fun. Still though, I know nothing about table tennis, but I can just tell both these players are full of class. Best match of any sport I've seen in a long time
Adam Leon Part of the Swedish national team who became the first ever to beat China at the 1989 Dortmund world championships. Basically a table tennis legend.
Wait SWEDISH?! Damn it! My home country is haunting me DX Swedish song writers in modern time, game developers, singers, sports athletes, actors, companies when will it stop?! Can't Norway or Denmark do something for a change?! Come on do something bold and amazing that catches peoples attention away from us. We seriously have enough problems as it is with retarded economic handling idiots and incompetent politicians dealing with the need for apartments that people actually can afford and dealign with many other things that they fail to address. Oh and the nazis, can't anybody just get rid of them already and maybe fix England, those liars tricking the people into leaving EU deserves prison for the damn amount of lies and deceit they did
Lol this just made my day! The amount of sportsmanship in this match is honestly so wholesome! They are just playing so stress-free that it makes you feel like playing too. This brought a smile to my face.

RUclips, I have to admit, I like you recommendation system. On another device I have no idea what to watch since I watched everything I want to watch on the youtubers I like. But on my device I always have something to click on. This is an example, I probably wouldn’t search this up but I would definitely watch it. That’s why I’m here now!

Haven't laughed so much for a while until watching this. love those unnecessary grunts and just lying on the table lmao in the end it's pure fun and I love it
