laude Bergeret , President of the Swaythling Club International, reflects on a landmark date and highlights a very special venue; at the same time she urges all to spare a moment’s thought and recall members who have contributed immensely to the sport of table tennis and have sadly passed away.

REFLECTION

C

The Centennial, the year 1926 etched in history, the official formation of the International Table Tennis Federation and the first ever World Championships; it is a reason for celebration, a reason for reflection.

Once again London is the destination with the most popular venue of all being in focus, no stadium has played host to the global gathering more than the Wembley Arena, this year will be the fifth occasion, the first in 1935, the most recent in 1954.

It is when we think of 1954, the appearance of Japan, that we remember distinguished members of the Swaythling Club Inter-

national. Now, sadly deceased, Ichiro Ogimura, former Deputy President, was a member of the successful Japanese men’s team before winning the men’s singles. Žarko Dolinar, who occupied the position of Deputy President before becoming President, won the men’s doubles; Diane Schöler, our first female President secured the women’s doubles title with twin sister Rosalind.

All, as players and officials, contributed greatly to our sport; we reflect with a nostalgic tear on their successes and immense contribution.

Likewise, we mourn four Swaythling Club International members, who have recently passed away, each whose contribution to the sport of table tennis is immeasurable.

In early January we learnt of the death of Joe

Veselsky, 107 years old, at the start of the year the only surviving member of the original Swaythling Club Executive Committee.

Just three days later, Neil Harwood passed away, his contribution to table tennis in Oceania and his native Australia beyond compare; his career concluding as Deputy President of the International Table Tennis Federation.

Sad times, less than two weeks later, Liu Jiayi died; for many years the English national coach, before assuming the same role in Singapore; the mentor of Chen Xinhua, described by many who benefited from his advice: “ahead of his time”.

One month later, in late February, André Damman, following a long illness, died, for Belgium he followed just about every role possible, from player to coach and then offi-

cial; arguably best known for the many years he served as Chair of the ITTF Ranking Committee.

A time to reflect but of course the world moves forward, next year for the Swathing Club it is 60 years since the official inauguration in 1967 but in London let’s raise a glass in respect to our recently departed members and celebrate 60 years of the Swaythling Club International

In 1966 the seeds were planted. At a cocktail party in Basel, Switzerland’s Hugo Urchetti and Georges Wassmer, alongside Yugoslavia’s Žarko Dolinar, discussed the idea of forming an organisation which would bring together former players who had competed in a World Championships, the outcome.

The Swaythling Club was born!

REVISITED

REVISITED

The Games of the XXX Olympiad, to give the multi-sport gathering its official name, marked the return of a major table tennis tournament to the city of London; now, it is the same again as we celebrate the centenary of the World Championships and the establishment of the International Table Tennis Federation. Thanks largely to the efforts of Colin Clemett, the author in 2012 of “London to London” we reflect on the history making meetings and ensuing World Championships staged in England’s capital city.

Key Figures Make Dreams Reality

Queen Elizabeth II was born, John Logie Baird provided the first television demonstration, the United Kingdom was gripped by the General Strike; it is against that background in 1926 the International Table Tennis Federation was formed and the first World Table Tennis Championships held.

It is widely accepted that table tennis, or “parlour tennis”, began in England in about 1880, as an indoor derivative of lawn tennis or of its predecessor, real tennis.

In the beginning it was a fairly basic game with a variety of improvised equipment. Rackets might be of plain wood, of wood covered with cork or sandpaper, or of vellum stretched on a wooden frame.

Nets were in a range of heights and might not actually be nets at all but solid, consisting, perhaps, of rows of books on end; balls could be made of cork or rubber.

Tables, which were often dining tables, could be of different sizes and heights.

There was no standard system of scoring; to win a game might mean scoring 11, 21, 50 or even 100 points. Service could be by means of a first bounce on the server's court,

as at present, or by the ball being struck direct on to the opponent's court, as in lawn tennis, except that in this case the ball had to be struck underhand from below the level of the server's waist. There were also several variations of doubles play.

This lack of uniformity was not important while table tennis was merely a light-hearted

parlour game, not to be taken too seriously. However, towards the end of the century its character began to change. In the late 1890s a former English international cross-country runner, James Gibb, brought home from a business trip to the United States some cellu-

loid balls which he thought might be better for table tennis than the rubber balls which he had been using. It was his view that the sound that they made when struck with the vellum-covered rackets in common use, was "ping-pong".

He suggested this to a friend and neighbour, John Jaques, a prominent sports goods manufacturer, as a more suitable name for the game than "Gossima", which Jaques had registered in 1891. John Jaques agreed and forthwith registered the title throughout the world, an action which would have some unexpected consequences.

Around 1900 the game began to acquire increased status and popularity, a number of clubs were formed throughout the country. The Cavendish Club, which was based in Armfield's Hotel in Finsbury, is said to have been the earliest but it was soon followed by many others.

A Directory published in a short-lived magazine of the time, the Table Tennis Pioneer, shows that in early 1902 there were over 50 clubs in the London area alone. Even so, it appears that these clubs may have been over-subscribed, because a later issue includes a request from a reader for information on a club "which has a vacancy for a new member".

From 1901 there was also a rapid growth in the number of tournaments, which usually included only singles events, sometimes "mixed singles" in which both men and women took part. Doubles, or "the four-handed game", was generally regarded as something of a novelty. The announcement of a tournament at the Royal Aquarium in early 1902 said: "One of the features of this tournament will be the 'mixed doubles'. The male player will have a member of the fair sex for his partner and they will use one racquet between them."

It was not unusual for there to be 300 or more entries in such tournaments despite an entry fee of 2s 6d (one eighth of Ł1), at a time when the average weekly wage for a skilled worker in, say, the printing trade, was only about Ł2 and for a civil servant or teacher about Ł3. The attraction may have been the value of prizes, which for the winners were typically worth Ł25.

Although there was no real national body, some of these tournaments were given titles such as the All-England Championships or the UK Championships and the winners were recognised as national champions. One of these was Percy Bromfield, who was to play an important part in the eventual revival of the game.

Clubs from the outset had operated on an individual basis with their own rules. There had been no attempt to form

broader alliances. It was during the first major open tournament at the Royal Aquarium in 1901 that the first significant step towards wider organisation of the game was taken.

In that year Walter Harrison, Secretary of the Cavendish Club, had suggested that there would be merit in forming an association with the objects both of promoting the game and of agreeing common standards and rules. On Thursday 12th December the Table Ten nis Association was formed but almost imme diately the hope of unifor mity was threatened by the formation, a few days later, of the Ping Pong Association.

Unfortunately, the two Associations diverged on a fundamental matter of rules. Although both had originally used the

single-bounce service, the Ping Pong Association later decided to change to the double-bounce system and clubs affiliated to one or the other, in accordance with their preferred method.

Percival Bromfield, the 1904 English Champion u

It was clearly an unsatisfactory situation, as was pointed out in The Pioneer: "While recognising the varied interests involved and the perfect right of individuals to play Ping Pong or Table Tennis, we cannot think that the best interests of the two games - so essentially similar - are best served by the governance of two distinct and independent Associations."

The logic of this argument was apparent and in December 1902 the two associations announced their intention to merge by the following 1st May. They agreed initially on the unwieldy title of "The United Table Tennis and Ping Pong Association", but this was soon changed, and the new organisation became simply "The Table Tennis Association".

Unfortunately, this

rationalisation had come too late; table tennis had fallen out of fashion and the game in England died as quickly as it had risen. The situation was that by 1905 it was played in only few isolated parts of the country, and it was many years before it regained anything like its former standing.

However, not everyone had lost their enthusiasm and in 1921, Percy Bromfield, the champion from 1904, and John Payne, the last secretary of the defunct Table Tennis Association decided to try to revive the game.

appears to have been a ferociously competitive and slightly bad-tempered affair. The finalists were Austin Carris, a wealthy Manchester businessman and Andrew Donaldson, a schoolmaster from Sunderland.

Donaldson's only preparation for playing was to remove his jacket, collar and tie. Carris complained that the sound of Donaldson's leather boots on the wooden floor was distracting him. In return, Donaldson protested that he was being unsighted by the reflection of light from the diamond studs in Carris's dress shirt. Donaldson eventually won by four games to one and to show this was no fluke he reached the final again in 1924.

The game was beginning to attract the interest of the popular press and early in 1923 the Daily Mirror organised its first national tournament.

The St Bride Institute gives its name to the St Bride Vase, awarded to the winner of the men’s singles event at the World Championships. Table tennis was played in the premises until the late 1980s

There have been several suggested explanations for its sudden demise: the absence of a strong national organisation to define a uniform system of play and equipment standards; technical developments, such as the use of rubber-covered rackets, which widened the gap in skill between the dedicated competition player and those for whom the game was merely a leisure pursuit.

The most likely reason was that table tennis did not in those early years acquire the status of a serious sport in the minds of the public. It was an entertaining pastime which became popular for a while but it had its time and then just died away.

Bromfield said in a 1931 article that the initiative came from a newspaper advertisement placed by an otherwise unidentified Mr Thompson, asking whether any former players were still active, to which he and Payne responded. He later gave a slightly different account, but the fact is that the two of them met and established a new Ping Pong Association in November 1921, with Bromfield as Chairman, Payne as Secretary/Treasurer and a committee of five.

Their first major enterprise was the organisation of a National Championships, this was held at Selfridge's Department Store in Oxford Street in April 1922. The only events were men's and women's singles, the men's singles final

Over a period of several months more than 30,000 entrants played in qualifying stages arranged in their own areas, the finals were staged in May at the Stadium Club in High Holborn. The first prize in both the men's and the women's events was a Calthorpe car, with the losing men's semi-finalist receiving a motorcycle, the ladies' runner up a fur coat.

The winner of the men’s event was James Thompson of Bristol. He beat Percy Bromfield in the semi-final aided, as Bromfield was keen to point out later, by a 5-0 start in each game. The ladies’ event was won by 15 year old Kathleen Berry from London, who was to be the English Open women's singles title holder from 1923-25.

The Ping Pong Association committee was joined in 1922 by two people who were to have a substantial influence

on the game; one was Austin Carris, the losing finalist. He had come to London with big ideas to put the game back on the map. He introduced "ping pong teas" and "ping pong toys", he even bought a racehorse and called it Ping Pong. He set up the All-England Club in London with its headquarters in Slater's, a restaurant in the Strand, moving later in 1922 to more spacious premises in Baker Street.

The club's tenure in Baker Street does not seem to have lasted very long, because in November 1923 it moved to the St Bride Institute in Bride Lane. The name was changed to the St Bride (All-England) Club (eventually to just St Bride's Club) and it became one of the strongest in the country.

In a 1937 advertisement, it offered the use of five tables "on exclusive nights" for a subscription of 13 shillings (the equivalent of Ł0.65) a year Table tennis was played there until the end of the 1980s. Its name is best remembered for the World Championships men's singles trophy, the St Bride Vase, donated in 1929 by its then Secretary, Cyril Corti Woodcock.

The second new recruit to the Ping Pong Association's committee was a young Cambridge student called the Hon. Ivor G. S. Montagu. He was born in London on Saturday 23rd April 1904, the third son of Lord Swaythling, a prominent banker.

Somewhat to the dismay of his parents he held, from an early age, strong left-wing political views and as soon as he was old enough, he became an active member of the British Socialist Party, the Labour Party and then, in the 1930s, the British Communist Party.

He was educated at Westminster School and went on to study Zoology first at the

Royal College of Science and later at Cambridge University, where he gained an honours degree in the subject. He had hoped originally to pursue a career as a scientist; as a young graduate he took part in an expedition to a remote part of the Caucasus to find and bring back specimens of a primitive type of mole that was thought to be facing extinction.

However, it was his other passion, films that soon claimed his interest. He spent some 40 years in the industry both in England and in Hollywood, working variously as a screenwriter, editor and producer. He was a producer or associate producer for several of Alfred Hitchcock's early films, such as The Man Who Knew Too Much and The Thirty-Nine Steps; his close friends included Charles Chaplin and Sergei Eisenstein.

In 1925 he was a founder member of the London Film Society, and he later worked

for a time as a film reviewer for The Observer. During World War Two he was a reporter for the Communist newspaper, the Daily Worker and, it has since been alleged, that while in this post he obtained privileged access to classified information which he passed to the Soviet Union.

Although he is remembered most for his table tennis activities, as a young man he was an enthusiastic participant in several other sports including soccer, lawn tennis and cricket; by his own account he was a competent but not outstanding performer in most of them. Perhaps realising his limitations, he went on to become a qualified umpire for lawn tennis and cricket, he believed that this was invaluable experience when he came to drafting practical and enforceable rules for table tennis.

At university he set up the Cambridge University Table Tennis Club, initially

The George Hotel in the Strand was the setting for the meeting held in 1925 that resulted in the dissolution of the revived Ping Pong Association and its immediate re-birth as the Table Tennis Association, which later became the English Table Tennis Association. It is still open, and is now known as "The George on the Strand"

because having had some experience at the game he thought - wrongly, as it proved - this was one sport where he would be able to excel against beginners.

Not discouraged, he continued to promote table tennis at the university with the strong support of a senior member of the academic staff, F. B. Kipping, whose sister Florence (Scott) became the first English Open women's singles champion. He arranged matches against other clubs that were starting and, in his book, he tells of their first contest with the equivalent club at Oxford University.

ishing All-England Club, becoming a member in 1922; this brought him to the notice of the officers of the newly revived Ping Pong Association.

A first test of his value to the organisation came later in 1922. He recounts in his autobiography The Youngest Son:

"All went swimmingly until our committee, endorsing applications to hold tournaments, approved one that was to be held without specifying equipment manufactured by Messrs Jaques. Unknown to us, this name was the registered property of the London firm of John Jaques & Son; it had passed into common speech without realisation of its legal status as monopoly property.

Crisis: our committee felt the game could never develop unless it was independent, yet there could be no doubt of the legal rights of Jaques.

An emergency meeting was called for Thursday 2nd November 1922 at the George Hotel in the Strand. Jaques' manager, a member of the committee, had equipped himself with countless proxies, gathered at high speed from all the towns where dealers sold his firm's equipment.

No-one wanted to bell the cat and I - possibly as youngestwas made the fall guy. I was voted into the chair, ruled all the proxies out of order, accepted a motion to dissolve the "Ping Pong Association" and led a move into the next room of everyone but Jaques' manager, where we reformed ourselves, with identical rules, into the Table Tennis Association".

and regulations that were logically and legalistically correct, he led a small working group charged with this task.

In the ensuing years they drew up a carefully considered code of laws of play, concentrated on persuading its nationwide acceptance by all supporters and on encouraging a high standard of available equipment. It is a tribute to their work and particularly to his leadership, that the laws that they drafted for the English Association were later adopted worldwide and that even today their basic principles and format remain virtually unchanged.

Alas, all was not well with the

new Table Tennis Association. Continual disagreements among the officers and committee members led to bitter arguments and eventual resignations. There were criticisms that the organisation was run by, and for the benefit of, an unrepresentative minority.

Montagu describes the committee as functioning: "just as a group of almost self-selected members, with only people who were well-known by their past prominence in the game or residence near London having any hope of being elected."

One of Ivor's strong convictions was that the lack of uniform rules had been at least a contributory factor in the collapse of the game in 1905. He was determined that there should be a single set of laws

Soon this changed with the arrival of W J (Bill) Pope, a player of international standard with strong opinions on how the game should be organised nationally.

Pope was born in Newport, Monmouthshire, in 1888, the

eldest of six children. He left school when 12 years old and worked as an errand boy until at 14 years of age; he started work as a junior clerk at the district office of the Great Western Railway; he was a keen supporter of the Labour movement and an active trade unionist.

Furthermore, he was a pacifist and during World War One he was sent to prison as a conscientious objector; as a result, he lost his job on the railway. Successfully, he applied for a post in the headquarters of the National Union of Railwaymen, this brought him to London, where his interest in table tennis attracted the attention of the recently revived Ping Pong Association.

It was not long before his ability in organisation and administration was recognised, he became first a member of the committee and later the Secretary, a post he continued to hold, with some interruptions owing to illness, until his death in 1950. In 1936 he was elected English Language Secretary of the International Table Tennis Federation, a post he fulfilled until 1950.

He was the ideal complement to Montagu; their relationship was similar to that established later in the International Table Tennis Federation between Roy Evans and Bill Vint. Ivor Montagu had the ideas, Bill Pope who put them into practice; together they accomplished far more than either could have achieved without the other.

Bill Pope's first task was to persuade the committee that the Association should be reorganised so that it more truly represented national interests rather than those of an elite few. Ivor Montagu later admitted that he had not initially seen the need for such a change, but he accepted it and later came to realise that it was an essential step in the

establishment of the English Table Tennis Association. Thus in 1925 a sub-committee was set up to draft a new constitution, with Montagu as Chairman and Pope as Secretary.

On Wednesday 26th August of the following year the Executive Committee Minutes record:

"It was decided at a meeting held at St Bride's this evening that the Executive Committee should resign and hand over the management of the Table Tennis Association to the Hon I.G.S. Montagu, representing the four Leagues (London, London Business Houses, Civil Service and Luton) who intend to form a new Association, and Mr G.W. Decker (Secretary) is hereby empowered to hand over all documents, finance etc. Signed: Percy Bromfield (Chairman)."

The sub-committee was re-titled the Provisional Committee of the English Table Tennis Association and from that time it operated as the controlling body of English table tennis, although the formal establishment of the Eng-

lish Table Tennis Association was delayed until 1927. There were more pressing matters to address, so it was at this point that the affairs of the English Table Tennis Association and the International Table Tennis Federation became closely related, owing to the central part played in the foundation of both organisations by same man, Ivor Montagu.

In the summer of 1925 Dr Georg Lehmann, Chairman of the German Ping Pong Association, invited Pranash Nanda, an Indian student living in London, to be the first international guest player in the German Championships. Earlier that year Nanda had won the English Open Championships, he repeated this success in Germany, winning every round six-nil (the tournament was played using lawn tennis scoring).

Encouraged by the response of German enthusiasts to this experiment, Dr Lehmann decided to invite all the European countries in which it was known table tennis was being played, to send players to an

Association and International Table Tennis Federation

ABOVE

Dr Georg Lehmann, who first proposed an International Table Tennis Federation

international tournament in Berlin the following January and to attend a meeting there to discuss future international co-operation.

The invitation was accepted only by Austria, Hungary and England; notably, in England after lengthy discussion. Most of the Executive Committee members were initially against England taking part but Montagu and Pope thought it was a chance of progress that must not be missed.

Finally, they managed to secure approval to assemble a party of players to accompany them but failed to gain any financial support; all who went paid their own expenses.

It was somewhat of a difficult decision for Bill Pope as Ivor Montagu explained later when writing Bill Pope’s obituary:

“Bill Pope at one time was a very good player. Penholder grip - consistent, extremely hard-hitting unless you tied him in the left corner. In the year 1926 he got equal top results in the trials and turned down a cap against Wales to go with a party of us to Berlin on that first English trip abroad that led to the foundation of the ITTF.

In the first round Bill came up against a rabbit. He could not understand the German scoring and did not know the (originally English but then only continental) rule against stopping an out-ball with your racket. Every ball, Bill bashed for a winner and then stopped the yard-out return to save himself stooping. Before we found out what was happening, he was first game down and 15 down in the second. In the end he went out in the semi-final to Pecsi.”

However, it became clear that what Dr Lehmann had in mind was to prove much more important than just the tourna-

ment itself - the formation of an International Federation.

A meeting duly took place at the Clubhouse of the Tennis Club 1900 Berlin Gelb-Weiss to discuss the idea.

The invitation had indicated the proposal only in vague terms. None of the delegates had the authority to commit their associations to supporting it but they were all convinced of its merits and wanted to press ahead. It was decided, therefore, that any conclusions should be recorded as "provisional" and it would then be up to the delegates to secure national support when they returned home.

Thus, on Saturday 16th January 1926 it was agreed to form a "provisional International Table Tennis Federation" and to include as founder members all who applied before June of that year.

The proposal was that the formal foundation of the Federation would take place at a meeting held in conjunction with a European Championships in December 1926; the English representatives' offer of London as the venue, subject to endorsement by the English Table Tennis Association’s Executive Committee, was gratefully accepted.

Playing plans for the Championships were discussed; there would be a men's team event and individual events for men and women including, somewhat to the surprise of the English representatives, doubles events. At that time, doubles was not popular in England and seldom played in tournaments. The rules were to be those drafted in England, which were already widely used elsewhere in Europe.

On their return Ivor and Bill had to persuade the members of the English Table Tennis As-

sociation’s Executive Committee to confirm the provisional invitation. Eventually, this was achieved, in spite of strong opposition from members of the committee who were appalled by the magnitude of the project and the financial risks being taken.

Agreement was reached only after Ivor had guaranteed that he would personally cover any losses. Further possible expense was avoided when his mother, Lady Swaythling, donated the now famous Swaythling Cup for the winners of the team competition.

The tournament was staged mainly in the Memorial Hall in Farringdon Street, although the first international team match was played at the Herga Lawn Tennis Club in Harrow and others were played at various venues in London.

Meanwhile, the Foundation Meeting of the International Table Tennis Federation was formally opened at the Stadium Club and was attended by delegates from Austria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, England, Germany, Hungary, India, Sweden and Wales.

At this first session Montagu

was unanimously elected as Chairman of the meeting, the reason being (according to Ivor) that he was reasonably fluent in the three main languages used. Apart from agreeing some administrative details the only business conducted was to rename the European Championships that were in progress, the World Championships for 1926-27.

The decision was justified on the basis that the participants included Indian players, mostly students who were living in London. The meeting was then adjourned and reconvened on the following Sunday 12th December, in the library of Ivor's father's house at 28 Kensington Court.

During the second session the draft constitution which had been proposed by England was discussed in detail and accepted after a number of minor amendments had been made, including the adoption of both English and German as official International Table Tennis Federation languages.

Elections to official positions followed and resulted in the necessary appointments:

Chairman: Ivor Montagu

English Language Secretary: C. H. Hallett (Wales)

German Language Secretary: Jan Gerke (Czechoslovakia)

Advisory Committee: Dr A. H. Fyzee (India), Bela von Kehrling (Hungary), Dr Richard Pick (Germany), Dr Carl Linde (Sweden), Fritz Zinn (Germany)

It was decided to adopt the laws used in England as the international laws but to allow some variations. Following a proposal by Czechoslovakia, seconded by Sweden, it was agreed that lawn tennis scoring be included as an experimental alternative to 21 point games, but this did not prove popular and the option was deleted at the subsequent Annual General Meeting.

However, another variation, making it illegal to volley the ball even when it had passed over the playing surface without touching it, remained part of the laws until 1995.

Having successfully hosted the inauguration of the International Federation and the first World Championships, the Provisional English Table Tennis Association now needed to ratify its position.

The Foundation Conference took place at the Indian Students Hostel in Gower Street on Sunday 4th April 1927. The Constitution and Regulations drawn up by the provisional Committee were adopted, Montagu and Pope were elected Chairman and Secretary respectively.

It was a fitting recognition of the contributions they had

made to the establishment of table tennis as a national and international sport. London saw the first wave of enthusiasm for table tennis, in the early years of the 20th century. Unfortunately, it was not sustained but when the renaissance came in 1921 it was London where the process began.

Between then and 1927 nearly all of the significant events in table tennis, such as the foundation of the International Table Tennis Federation and the English Table Tennis Association took place in London.

By the end of that period, table tennis in England had gone from being a fringe activity to a properly organised national sport and internationally a sound base had been established for its development throughout the entire world.

Shrewd Investment Pays Dividends

Ivor Montagu had gained the support of the English Table Tennis Association for England to host the inaugural Championships by guaranteeing to cover any losses up to Ł300, an amount he had recently inherited from his grandfather.

It must be remembered that currency has been greatly devalued since 1926 and this was the equivalent of about Ł24,000 today, a substantial commitment for someone who was still only 22 years old. The actual deficit proved to be only half of this amount but the fact that he was prepared to sustain such a loss personally shows how dedicated he was to further the interests of international table tennis.

Agreement at the conference in Berlin had been reached that invitations would be sent to Austria, Czechoslovakia, England, Germany, Hungary, India, Sweden, Wales "and such other Nations as may before November 1st be accepted by majority vote of the above named". No replies were received from any but the named associations, of these all except Sweden sent teams. A Swedish player, Henrik Ander, entered the men's singles and Sweden was represented by a delegate at the Foundation Meeting held in conjunction with the Championships.

An organising committee was formed, consisting of Ivor Montagu, who was also to be the Referee, Bill Pope, then the Secretary of the English Association, and Philip Warden, a founder member with Bromfield and Payne of the revived Ping Pong Association.

It must be remembered that currency has been greatly devalued since 1926 and this was the equivalent of about Ł24,000 today, a substantial commitment for someone who was still only 22 years old

In spite of their organising duties both Montagu and Bill Pope felt able to play in the tournament but, perhaps fortunately, neither of them survived the first round of the men's singles. Montagu lost to Raja Gopal Suppiah of India, who went on to reach the semi-final, Pope was beaten by Zoltan Mechlovits of Hungary, the eventual runner up.

Furthermore, they were no more successful in the men's doubles, with different partners, again losing in round one. Warden entered only the minor men's singles, but he too was eliminated in his first played match.

It had been clear from the initial meeting in Berlin that the

primary purpose was to stage an international men's team competition and that the individual events were of secondary importance; this was reflected in the schedule. The men’s team event filled the first days of play, only the last two days were devoted to singles and doubles. Overall, the Championships ran from Monday 6th to Friday 11th December, the individual events not starting until the Thursday 10th December.

The organisers had originally presumed there would be only singles events, as doubles were seldom played in English tournaments. It turned out that they were popular in most of the other countries taking part, so men's and

mixed doubles events were duly included.

The original decision to call the tournament the European Championships was rescinded at the opening session of the Foundation meeting; the programme, still showing the European title, contains the following note:

"By decision of the International Table Tennis Federation, Tuesday December 7th 1926, Events II, III, IV and V at the London Congress Tournament carry with them the World Championships Titles for 1926-7."

Events II to V were, respectively, the men's singles, ladies' singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles and it is not clear why the team events were not included. However, the minutes of the Foundation meeting said that it was to be recognised as "the sole international match for men's teams".

The tournament was conducted in accordance with the Laws of the English Association which were, in any case, used by most of the competing associations. The team event was played as a group in which every team played every other, with individual matches the best of three games. All individual matches were played in each team match, which did not, as is now usual, end when one team had won a majority. Individual events were simple knock-outs, with matches the best of five in the men' singles and men’s doubles and the best of three in other events.

The majority of matches took place in the Memorial Hall, Farringdon, (demolished in 1968, Caroone House built on the site). Ivor Montagu recalled:

"We did the tournament pretty well in style, with the play held in the old Memorial

Hall at Farringdon Street, first floor; special stands put in by Beck & Pollitzer to hold several hundreds of spectators; a posh champagne party for diplomats to do the draw beforehand; and the general press at last paying some attention to our sport, even The Times sending its correspondent to the finals".

Bill Pope, writing in the 1938 World Championships programme, remembered it rather differently:

"The Memorial Hall holds under 1,000 spectators, but we took up all the centre

space with four tables. Two rows of chairs ran around the walls, but we were never inconvenienced by these being packed. I remember in the final match we removed three tables and appealed to the spectators to bring their chairs around the one table".

The opening match, between England and India, was played on Monday 6th December at the premises of the Herga Lawn Tennis Club in Harrow, a north-west suburb of London. India had been regarded as one of the favourites to win the team event, as its players had been

outstandingly successful in tournaments in the previous season but the result was closer than expected. They won 5-4, mainly because Percy Bromfield, the English number one who is accredited as being the player to introduce the rubber covering on a table tennis racket, failed to win even a single game. He was dropped for the next match, against Austria, which England won by the same score.

Meanwhile Hungary demonstrated its strength, easily defeating India, England and Wales. Its team included both Roland Jacobi and Zoltan Mechlovits, who were later to contest the final of the men's singles; they each lost only one individual match in the team competition, both to the same player, Paul Flussmann of Austria.

Czechoslovakia and Germany, they lost only narrowly to England and India.

The final group match between Hungary and Austria was not decided until the last possible game of the last indi-

They had to arrange a play-off match at the Memorial Hall on Monday 13th December, two days after the tournament’s official closing date

Notably, Hungary's team was weakened by the absence of Jacobi, who had to return home owing to the death of his father but his replacement, Bela von Kehrling, won the deciding match against Pillinger to make Hungary the first holders of the Swaythling Cup.

There were 64 entries in the men's singles, where there appears to have been some curious seeding. There were six first round matches in which both players were listed as national seeds, but nine in which neither player was seeded.

The statement of accounts for the first ever World Championships

Czechoslovakia's only success was a five-four win over Germany, who won no matches; these two teams both ended in the bottom places of the group. Wales lost to Austria and Hungary but defeated

vidual match, in which Munio Pillinger of Austria beat Dani Pecsi of Hungary 21-19. It meant that Austria and Hungary led the group with five wins each, somewhat to the embarrassment of the organisers, who had not foreseen this possibility. They had to arrange a play-off match at the Memorial Hall on Monday 13th December, two days after the tournament’s official closing date.

The quarter-finalists in the men's singles comprised three Indians, Fyzee, Suppiah and Ernest, two Hungarians, Mechlovits and Jacobi, two Austrians, Pillinger and Freudenheim - the latter having reached this stage by means of a series of walkovers - and a Welsh player, B. Penny.

In one semi-final Mechlovits defeated Suppiah in straight

games; in the other, Jacobi had a somewhat harder match against Pillinger but eventually won three-one.

The final was widely acclaimed as an example of topclass table tennis and the difference in skill between the two players was probably less than is suggested by Jacobi's winning score of three-nil. In the all-Hungarian men's doubles final Jacobi and his partner Dani Pecsi beat Mechlovits and von Kehrling three-one.

The ladies' singles attracted only 16 entries and two of these withdrew before the event. Here the seeding seems to have been dealt with more rationally than in the men's singles, with one seeded player in each quarter.

In the semi-finals Dolly Gubbins of Wales, a penholder who used a plain wooden racket, convincingly beat Mrs Flussman of Austria but England's Wendy Land lost equally easily to Hungary’s Maria Mednyansky. In the final Mednyansky beat Gubbins two-nil and, in partnership with Mechlovits, she won also the mixed doubles.

The men's minor singles, an event open to other than the top four seeded players from each country in the Swaythling Cup, was won by Pillinger. Surely, he was not allowed to compete, he was a men’s singles bronze medallist! He won every match in straight games beating Frank Lawes of England in the final.

The final accounts showed that the cost of the Championships had been Ł352, equivalent to about Ł18,000 today. In broad terms, the main items of expenditure were Ł140 for the visitors' travel and accommodation, Ł100 for printing, postage and other administrative costs and Ł75 for the hire of the Memorial Hall. The income from ticket sales and programmes

was about Ł95 and that from entry fees was about Ł55.

Another Ł50 was received in miscellaneous donations but by far the biggest contributions were from Ivor Montagu and his family, his mother donating the Swaythling Cup, his father hosting free the Foundation Meeting and Ivor making up the deficit from his personal funds.

Members of the English Association who had been apprehensive about the project, now recognised the signifi-

cance of what had been achieved. At the conference held the following year, at which the English Table Tennis Association was formally established, the following resolution was passed:

"That this Conference places on record its cordial appreciation of the work done in connection with the International Tournament by the Hon. Ivor Montagu and thanks him for the financial provision made by him which ensured the success of this historic competition.”

New Standards

Staged in London from Friday 8th to Friday 15th February, the 1935 World Championships underlined the rapid progress the sport had made since the inaugural event and establishment of the International Table Tennis Federation in 1926.

New standards of organisa-

Promoting the London 1935 World Championships

tion and presentation had been set by subsequent championships in Stockholm, Budapest, Berlin, Prague, Baden and Paris.

New events had been added, in 1928 women's doubles and in 1933 a women's team competition, the Corbillon Cup. The total numbers of players in individual events had been

increased to 128 for men's singles and 64 in all other events; notably at the Congress it was agreed to delete references to “amateur” and “professional”, substituting “player”.

However, the world still awaited the attendance of two modern day superpowers. The Edinburgh Evening News, published on Saturday 9th February 1935, reported:

“Japan cancelled their entry at the last moment, and China’s entry was refused owing to a diplomatic quarrel”.

Furthermore Ireland, nowadays united, played as separate associations: Northern Ireland (NIR) and Irish Free State (IFS).

Initially the task was to find a playing hall. Somewhat surprisingly, at the time no arena in London presented a set up for the playing of indoor sports such as table tennis.

The Edinburgh Evening News, published on Saturday 9th February 1935, reported “Japan cancelled their entry at the last moment, and China’s entry was refused owing to a diplomatic quarrel

Moreover, any venue would almost certainly require the temporary installation of suitable flooring and lighting. There were several buildings in which this could be done but most of them were not designed to accommodate large numbers of spectators; eventually, it was decided to use two venues.

The team events and the initial rounds of individual events were played on eight tables at the Imperial Institute building in South Kensington,

able to accommodate up to 3,000 spectators, the individual finals at the Empire Pool and Sports Arena in Wembley, a northwest London suburb, hosing about 12,000 seats.

Two venues, just as in 1926 when the Herga Lawn Tennis Club and Memorial Hall were featured; now in 2026, the scenario is similar. At the World Team Championships Finals, the Copper Box and the OVO Arena Wembley, the latter the modern-day name for the Empire Pool, are the hosts.

Located in the shadows of the world-famous Wembley Stadium, the centrepiece for the 1924 British Empire Exhibition, Arthur Elvin, had bought the

premises and wanted to develop the site as a multi-sport complex; in 1933 he built the Empire Pool and Sports Arena.

Successfully, the venue hosted the 1934 Empire Games and in 1948 was the location for the Olympic swimming and boxing competitions. The swimming pool which gave the building its name could be boarded over and used for other sports.

It was here that the finals of the 1935, 1938, 1948 and 1954 World Table Tennis Championships were played. In 1977 a Conference Centre was added and in 1978 it acquired the name "Wembley Arena".

Memories of 1926, some

members of the English Table Tennis Association’s Executive Committee were apprehensive at the likely expense of the Championships; their worries must have increased as it became clear that the original estimates were too low. It had been expected that 12 ITTF member associations at the time would enter players, but it was actually 18 in number, a consequent 50 per cent increase in the cost of hospitality.

Additional to the expected costs of flooring, lighting and screening of windows to exclude daylight, at the Imperial Institute it cost Ł550 to set up a "centre court" with seating for 2,000, equivalent to about Ł9,000 today

u

However, it was agreed that once the commitment had been undertaken everything possible must be done to make the Championships a success; doubts were put aside and the organisation went ahead.

The men's team competition for the very first time was not an all-play-all event, the schedule was organised in two groups, the group winners playing each other in the final. In group one the Hungarian team was unbeaten, winning 40 individual matches and losing only five.

Czechoslovakia won group two, also unbeaten, although their victories were not achieved quite as easily as were those of Hungary. The final was won five-three by Hungary, although the games were very close and both teams at times held the lead.

against Smidova and Delacour respectively, was acclaimed in the press as one of the finest women's matches ever seen. Gal won the first game, but Kettnerova took the next three to gain the title. The women's doubles was another success for Hungary, Maria Mednyansky and Anna Sipos defeating Kettnerova and Smidova.

The enigmatic Laszlo Bellak experienced a quarter-final men’s singles defeat

In the men's singles, the only non-seeded player to reach the quarter-finals was Maurice Bergl, the youngest member of the English team. In his quarter-final match against Kohn of Austria he led by two games to one and 13-2 in the fourth. He extended his lead to 19-12 but inexplicably lost

that game 19-21 and the next game 9-21.

Meanwhile, in the other quarter-finals, the Hungarians Miklos Szabados and Victor Barna beat Miroslav Hamr of Czechoslovakia and Stanislav Kolar of Czechoslovakia respectively, while Poland's Alojzy Ehrlich defeated Laszlo Bellak of Hungary. The final between Szabados and Barna was closely fought, the eventual winner being Barna by three games to two. In the men's doubles, the men's singles finalists formed the winning pair, beating Adrian Haydon of England and Austria's Alfred Liebster.

In the women's singles quarter-finals, Hungary’s Magda Gal beat Germany’s Astrid Krebsbach, Czechoslovakia’s Marie Smidova overcame England’s Connie Wheaton. Also from Czechoslovakia and England respectively, Marie Kettnerova defeated Margaret Osborne. Meanwhile, Miss Delacour of France accounted for Gertrude Kleinova, like Kettnerova from Czechoslovakia.

Worthy names and one more that didn’t enjoy the same level of success, in fact there is no record of her winning a single match. Julia Ruth represented the United States, she was the adopted daughter of Babe Ruth, arguably the most famous baseball player who ever lived. She passed away on Sunday 10th March 2019, she was 102 years old.

Many people had been doubtful at first that the Championships would attract much public support but, in the weeks, building up to the starting date it became apparent that there was enormous interest, attendance proved to be beyond all expectations

Meanwhile, Victor Barna completed a clean sweep of available titles. He won the mixed doubles in partnership with Anna Sipos, the runners-up being Kolar and Kettnerova.

Many people had been doubtful at first that the Championships would attract much public support but, in the weeks, building up to the starting date it became apparent that there was enormous interest, attendance proved to be beyond all expectations.

The Treasurer of the English Table Tennis Association reported at the 1935 Annual

General Meeting that total attendance had been over 20,000, a record 10,000 strong crowd attending the finals; never before had more than 1,000 people watched a table tennis tournament in England. A contemporary journal,

"Tennis Illustrated" reported:

"the crowds thronging the courts at South Kensington were reminiscent of Wimbledon, and this support and the interest at Wembley, challenges comparison with finals day on the centre court there."

The deficit, just over Ł500, less than had been feared.It was considered that the money had been well spent in the cause of table tennis.

MEDIA REPORTS ON MEN’S & WOMEN’S TEAM EVENTS

• At the evening session Victor Barna met Alfred Liebster (Austria) and a most brilliant contest was seen. The cheering was like we associate with football, Barna just got home by 21-10, 16-21, 23-21.

• The men’s team match between Belgium and Irish Free State: David slew Goliath in the Test match on the “centre court” today when Kohn, a diminutive Belgian, defeated Kemp of the Irish Free State, 21-11, 15-21, 21-13. Kemp stands well over six feet, while the Belgian, who is only 14 and a half years of age, is under five feet.

• In group two of the men’s team event, England versus India, in the third game, Maurice Bergl recovered from 16-20 in arrears to record a 22-20 win versus Jimmy Dass.

• In men’s team group two, Poland beat England 5-4 after trailing 2-4; on duty for England David Jones, Andrew Millar and Adrian Haydon lost the last three matches. In the deciding ninth match of the fixture, Haydon faced Alojzy Ehrlich. In the first game Haydon led 20-18, Ehr-

lich won the next point with an edge ball which Haydon believed hit the side of the table. Ehrich won the game 22-20. In the second game, Ehrich trailed 3-14, he reduced the deficit to 13-15, before winning 21-15.

• Czechoslovakia included future world champion Bohumil Vana in their men’s team, at the time he was only 15 years old.

• In men’s team group two, Poland recorded a 5-4 win against Czechoslovakia, one game won by Simon Pohoryles again Bohumil Vana lasted almost 200 strokes.

• The People newspaper on Sunday 10th February 1935: Ping Pong Team Lost – Missing Romanians last heard of Germany. The Romanian team was due to meet Wales and Northern Ireland in the Table Tennis Championships in London, yesterday, but they had not arrived. No-one knew, either, exactly where they were. The last message from them came from Germany.

• There was only one group in the women's team event, a tie between Czechoslovakia and

Hungary being the end result. The play-off was won three-one by Czechoslovakia, giving them the Corbillon Cup for the first time. For England, the success of the organisation was not matched by the performance of their players, who in both team competitions did not finish high enough in their groups to gain a place in the play-offs.

• The People: Miss V. Bromfield achieved the distinction of beating Miss M. Ketternova, the world lady champion, the score being 17-21, 2116, 21-14.

• The women’s team match in the initial stage between Czechoslovakia and Hungary witnessed the best three players in the world, at the time, in action. Czechoslovakia won 3-1. Marie Kettnerová beat Mária Mednyánszky and Anna Sipos.

• In the first stage of the women’s team event Wales recorded a 3-1 win against Switzerland; B. Morgan beat Margrit Isely 15-21, 21-12, 31-29, media reports suggest the score 31-29 was the closest game score ever known in the event.

Rule Changes but Same Problem

In 1935 the policy of using two venues, the Imperial Institute and Wembley Arena had proved a success; for the return of the World Championships in 1938, staged from Monday 24th to Monday 31st January, the policy was again followed.

However, spectator seating had been costly to install at the Imperial Institute and the 2,000 places provided had not been sufficient for the numbers attending. Therefore, it was decided to stage the preliminary rounds of the 1938 Championships at a

The Royal Albert Hall, opened by Queen Victoria in Victoria in 1871, was the venue for the early stages of the 1938 World Championships venue which, although more expensive to hire, already had adequate seating. The choice was the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington, premises which could accommodate an attendance of over 6,000.

The choice was the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington, premises which could accommodate an attendance of over 6,000

The organisation of the Championships was a project far greater than anything previously been attempted in English table tennis. Over 600 people were involved, the

cost would have been prohibitive had not all been volunteers. In addition to those responsible for the conduct of play once it had started, there were committees to deal beforehand with hotels, seating, prizes, programmes and many more topics.

Particular efforts were made in the area of publicity. Over 10,000 posters and 100,000 handbills were produced

and distributed; in addition, 80,000 envelopes were addressed and posted. During play, there were also officials responsible for supplying journalists regularly with exclusive news and up-to-date results.

The referee, in a tribute to the contribution of the volunteers, mentioned the variety of duties that had been undertaken, from escorting visitors and their luggage to their hotels to making sure that players arrived at the right time and right table for their matches.

Language was a particular problem as it was not always

report stated: "the outstanding feature of the championships was the remarkable success of the lower net as an aid to attack. Unenterprising play is now practically dead and, with one or two exceptions, 'hitting to glory' was the general rule".

In retrospect, this claim was somewhat premature. Certainly, it was true of the men's singles where Austria’s Richard Bergmann was the only mainly defensive player to reach the later stages.

Conversely, the women's singles final between Czechoslovakia's Vlasta Depetrisova and Trude Pritzi, like Bergmann from Austria, was very disappointing. In the first game Depetrisova tried but failed, to hit Pritzi off the table. However, when Pritzi's defence proved too good, she reverted to just keeping the ball in play, the match dragging on, to the irritation of spectators.

The winner was Pritzi three-

nil, both players were booed and every attacking shot, however mild, was sarcastically applauded.

Somewhat differently, the women's doubles, between the Hungarian pair Dora Beregi and Ida Ferenczy against the Czechoslovaks Vera Votrubcova and Depetrisova was more entertaining. All were natural attackers and the games were close, Votrubcova and Depetrisova winning the match 25-23, 21-13, 18-21, 21-18.

Celebrated names but one bright young prospect was missing, a certain 16-year-old named Angelica Adelstein (better known by her married name Rozeanu). Even though her entry had been submitted several months earlier, she was not allowed to travel; no official reason was ever made public but prior to leaving for England, promoting antisemitism, the pro-Nazi Goga government had come into power in Romania.

One official had the problem of explaining to a foreign captain who did not speak English, largely by means of sign language, that a fire alarm box was not the correct place in which to post a letter home. In spite of all the difficulties, the programme was completed on schedule, and the outcome amply justified the efforts of those who had worked so hard to achieve success.

Notably, it was the first World Championships played since important changes to the Laws had been introduced. So called “finger spin’ services were banned, a time limit of 20 minutes was allocated for each game plus most significantly, the height of the net was reduced from 6.75 inches to 6 inches.

Later Rozeanu was to set a host of records; more pertinently, there were records set in 1938 in London that are still intact today. Czechoslovakia’s Bohumil Váňa and Betty Henry from the United States etched their names into the history books of sport.

Váňa became the youngest ever men’s singles winner, when at 18 years and 12 days old, he beat Bergmann in the final; thus, he ended the Austrian’s reign and distinction of being the youngest ever. One year earlier in Baden bei Wien, Bergmann had won the title when 18 years and 331 days old.

In the men’s singles final, Bergmann won a close opening game 22-20; in the second Váňa completely changed his game and went on all-out attack, leaping about the playing area to ensure being in the best position for his powerful forehand hit. Bergmann was taken by surprise and, in spite of some spectacular retrieving, he lost the game 921. In the next two games

Váňa continued to attack, albeit more cautiously. He won both to gain his first world title. It was suggested afterwards that Bergmann had made a mistake in keeping to defensive play rather than making use of his own attacking capability but perhaps

Váňa became the youngest ever men’s singles winner, when at 18 years and 12 days old, he beat Bergmann in the final; thus, he ended the Austrian’s reign and distinction of being the youngest ever

Váňa's extraordinary speed and agility did not give him the opportunity to do so.

Somewhat less celebrated, a tragic story, Betty Henry of the United States reached the semi-final stage of the women’s singles, at the start

of play she was 15 years and 319 days old; she is the youngest medallist ever at a World Championships. Sadly, she died when only 22 years old.

Also, carving her name in the history books, Wendy Woodhead did the same. She partnered Hungary’s Laszlo Bellak to mixed doubles gold and thus became the first English women to win a world title. Notably, it was also a first individual world title for Bellak, he had been the men’s singles runner up on three previous occasions.

Gold for Bellak meant he added to the gold won earlier in the men’s team alongside Victor Barna, Ernő Földi, Tibor Házi and Ferenc Soos; in fact, it was the seventh time, commencing in 1928, that he had enjoyed Swaythling Cup success.

A decade later, Hungary asserted their authority on proceedings from the very start, in the group stage (two groups each of eight teams) only Czechoslovakia and

France offered serious resistance. One result of note was the 5-3 win of Czechoslovakia against Yugoslavia, a fixture that witnessed defeat for Váňa. He was beaten by Ladislav Hexner, a player who used a wood faced racket.

Outcomes very much as predicted, the corresponding group proved very different. Austria lost only to England; England lost only to the United States and the United States to Austria. Poland, which had been considered one of the strongest teams in the group, experienced defeat against Austria, the United States and, for the first time, to England.

Seemingly the Polish team did not possess the best organisa-

tion, a 5-4 win was recorded against Germany, despite the fact that Osmanski had to concede his first match; he lost his way from the hotel to the venue!

The end result was a triple tie, and a play-off was organised to decide the final group positions. Austria and the United States easily beat England, while Austria defeated the United States five-three to become the group winners.

The replay of the match between Austria and the United States produced some spectacular table tennis. In his match against Sol Schiff, Bergmann won the first game 22-20 and lost the second 18-21. In the third game Schiff, one of the hardest hitters in the world,

kept up the attack but Bergmann seemed to be able to retrieve the ball from any angle and in the end it was Schiff who weakened, losing 7-21.

Finalists decided, held in the Royal Albert Hall on Monday 31st January, Hungary posted a 5-3 win against Austria to regain the title they had last held in 1935.

The women's team winners were Czechoslovakia, who won all their matches, seven of them without losing an individual contest; their only close matches were against Austria and Hungary, where the scores were three-one and three-two respectively.

Meanwhile, the men's doubles produced one of the surprises of the Championships. On form, the Hungarian pair of Victor Barna and Laszlo Bellak was expected easily to beat Schiff and Jimmy McClure of the United States, but the match went to a fifth game. In this game, after the Hungarians had led 15-10 and then 19-16, McClure hit six outright winners in the next seven rallies to win the game 22-20 and hence the match.

It was with some gratification that the Treasurer of the English Table Tennis Association was able to report to the 1938 Annual General Meeting that there was a profit of nearly Ł300 for the Championships

Significantly, the decision to change the venue for the competition had proved to be wise. The problems of adapting a building not designed to accommodate spectators had been avoided and the greater number of seats available had led to a substantial increase in attendance throughout.

Moreover, after the losses that had been incurred in 1926 and 1935, it was with some gratification that the Treasurer of the English Table Tennis Association was able to report to the 1938 Annual General Meeting that there was a profit of nearly Ł300 for the Championships, an achievement that few, if any, of his successors were likely to emulate.

England Celebrates Landmark Date

Celebrating the centennial, 2026 is a landmark year; it was similar in 1948 at the World Championships staged in London from Wednesday 4th to Wednesday 11th February; the tournament marked the 21st anniversary of the English Table Tennis Association.

The decision to host the tournament was agreed in 1947, an Organising Committee was established with Ivor Montagu as Chairman and Bill Pope as Secretary, posts that they had occupied for the inaugural 1926 Championships.

Notably, Bill Pope was very much in evidence. The W.J. Pope Trophy was awarded for the first time to the women’s doubles winners, similarly the inaugural Heydusek Prize was presented to the mixed doubles winners.

Other committee members with long experience included

Godfrey Decker, the former Secretary of the English Table Tennis Association, and Corti Woodcock, donor in 1929 of the St Bride Vase.

It was a period of austerity. The United Kingdom was recovering from the ravages of World War Two; meat, bacon, fats, sugar, and tea remained rationed, clothing coupons were required. Later in the year at the London 1948 Olympic Games, American athletes brought their own food.

Equally there was a major rebuilding programme in operation throughout the country. War damage had left central London with a shortage of suitable halls. Thus, the decision was taken to stage the whole proceedings at the Empire Pool and Sports Arena in Wembley, tried and trusted premises which had been used for the World Championships in 1935 and 1938. However, it was a departure from the policy of all previous World

Championships in London of utilising two venues.

Especially for Godfrey Decker, responsible for equipment, the one venue concept presented difficulties. The level of lighting in the area was not considered adequate for table tennis; therefore, he was faced with the problem of providing for each of the 11 tables individual sets of lights, which had to be suspended from a roof some 25 metres high.

A generous size playing area was created; so generous that extra large score indicators had to be made in order that the public could follow play.

Furthermore, not only was the United Kingdom still experiencing the effect of war, concern was expressed that many member associations were also still suffering, meaning the entry might not be sufficient to justify the costs. The fear proved groundless. The individual events attracted

record entries; a total of 25 countries entered teams for the Swaythling Cup competition and 16 for the Corbillon Cup, more than ever before. Originally, the entry was even more, notably, India withdrew owing to the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi on Friday 30th January 1948, just five days prior to the start of the tournament.

In contrast, spectator support for all but the individual finals was disappointing, owing largely, it was believed, to transport difficulties. In those days petrol for private cars was strictly rationed and around the time of the Championships the allowance was totally suspended; those who had planned to drive to the venue were unable so to do. The result was that instead of the hoped for profit, there was a loss of about Ł250 (equivalent to Ł12,000 in modern day terms), a substantial proportion of the English Table Tennis Association’s then funds.

The Swaythling Cup competition was played in four groups, which were won by the United States, Czechoslovakia, France and Austria, each of them being unbeaten in their own group. In the first semi-final between the United States and Czechoslovakia, Richard Miles, who had not lost a game in the group, was beaten by both Ivan Andreadis and Bohumil Váňa. Czechoslovakia won the match 5-2, their only defeats being sustained by Frantisek Tokar, who lost easily to both Miles and Garrett Nash.

In the other semi-final France beat Austria even more decisively, with Guy Amouretti and Michel Haguenauer each winning twice and Maurice Bordrez once, Austria's only success being Heribert Just's defeat of Bordrez. The final was won 5-2 for Czechoslovakia, with Váňa winning all three of his matches in

straight games and Andreadis beating Amouretti and Haguenauer. The only unsuccessful Czech player was Laszlo Stipek; he lost to both Bordrez and Haguenauer.

There were two groups in the Corbillon Cup competition, these were won by England and Hungary; both were unbeaten in their groups, Hungary losing only one game in its seven matches. In the final England, who had first won this event in Paris in the previous year, beat Hungary three-one, Vera Thomas losing

Undoubtedly, frustrating for Hungary; England's success was due mainly to the efforts of a former Hungarian player. Dora Beregi a Jew who had fled Hungary and married an Englishman, John Trevanney, thus gaining British citizenship. She won both of her singles matches two-nil and, in partnership with Vera Thomas, the doubles.

The first quarter of the men's singles included two players who, like Dora Beregi, had

ABOVE

acquired British nationality. One was Victor Barna, who had won 14 individual world titles between 1930 and 1935 and who had six times been a member of the successful Hungarian Swaythling Cup team, the other was Richard Bergmann, twice a winner of the men's singles title. He had played in the winning Austrian men's team at the 1936 World Championships.

At the quarter-final stage Barna was beaten by Czechoslovakia’s Ivan Andreadis, Bergmann accounted for Austria’s Heribert Just having earlier overcome Hungary’s Ferenc Soos and Marty Reisman of the United States, the latter in a controversial contest.

Bergmann wanted the umpire’s table moved further back after he had crashed into a court surround, Reisman successfully opposed the request by Bergmann for the surround to be removed. Chaos reigned, members of the United States team entered the playing area, they were told to leave and informed they could not give advice.

Eventually, through to the penultimate round, Bergmann faced Andreadis in a contest that remains to this day one of the most dramatic ever known and one which has been incorrectly reported time and again. The most reliable source appears in Table Tennis Review, Volume 2, No.5 for Spring 1948; in the article actually written by Bergmann, “How I Won” which appeared on pages no.12 and no.13.

He explains that Andreadis won the first two games 2117 and 21-18 but lost the third 7-21; in the fourth Bergmann led 19-16 and 20-18 before Andreadis won three points in a row to lead 21-20. Overall, Andreadis held three match points, at 22-21 and 2322 before Bergmann secured

The contest between Bergmann and Andreadis rather overshadowed the quarter-final exchange involving Richard Miles and Bohumil Váňa, one of the most spectacular matches of the tournament, both players attacking throughout

three in row to win 25-23. In the deciding fifth game Andreadis led 9-4, Bergmann won the next six points to lead 10-9; Bergmann then won 10 of the next 14 points to secure the game 21-16.

The contest between Bergmann and Andreadis rather overshadowed the quarterfinal exchange involving Richard Miles and Bohumil Váňa, one of the most spectacular matches of the tournament, both players attacking throughout. Under the regulations, either player could claim a five-minute rest period after the third game. Miles chose to do so when he was leading by two games to one. It was widely believed that this cost him the match, as the break disturbed the rhythm of his play. He was eventually beaten in five games.

Success against Miles was followed by victory in opposition to Frenchman, Guy Amouretti, Váňa won in four games and thus a repeat of the 1938 World Championships final beckoned.

A decade earlier Váňa’s attacking play had penetrated the Bergmann defence; this time life was different. From the start Bergmann went on the attack and Vana was 1-8 down almost before he realised what was happening. He lost that game but in the next recovered some of his own attacking skills and levelled the match score. For the next two closely fought games Bergmann played in more defensively with only occasional counter attacks but in the deciding game he once again took the initiative, alternating fierce drives with delicate drop shots. They changed

ends at 10-4 to Bergmann and thereafter Váňa was never really in contention; after two hours' play Bergmann regained the title that he had last won in 1939.

Defeat for the men’s singles champion of a decade earlier in London, it was the same in the women’s singles. At the quarter-final stage, England's Vera Thomas beat Austria’s Trude Pritzi. Czechoslovakia’s Vera Pokorna (formerly Depetrisova) overcame Hungary’s Rozsi Karpati; Gizi Farkas also from Hungary accounted for the American Leah Thall and Angelica Rozeanu of Romania defeated the Scot Helen Elliot, the scores being three-nil in all four matches.

Similarly, the scores in both semi-finals were also three-nil, with Thomas beating Pokorna and Farkas ending the hopes of Rozeanu. However, the latter match was decided in a very controversial way and many people thought that Rozeanu should have been the winner.

Rozeanu won the first two games, but Farkas defended grimly in the next two to even the score, in the final game they were so evenly matched that at the end of 20 minutes the score was 22-22. Under the "Time Limit" rule, they should have been warned at this stage that they would be allowed five minutes more and that the next point would decide the game, but the umpire failed to give this warning. They played on until, after 26 minutes, the score reached 29-27 in favour of Farkas.

She claimed the match but there was a protest and the matter was referred to the Jury. The Jury was told that after 22-all Rozeanu had won what should have been the decisive point, but it was decided that the match had been completed "irregularly" and so could not be awarded

to either player and must be replayed. It is the result of the replayed match, won clearly this time by Farkas, that appears in the records.

In the final, Thomas managed to level the scores at two-all but in the fifth game the defence of Farkas was just too good for her and the 1947 champion retained her title.

A surprise in the men's doubles was the performance of the non-playing captain of the English men's team, Adrian Haydon. Now 37 years old, he had long since retired from serious international play but with Hungary’s Ferenc Soos as his partner, he reached the final, losing to the strong Czechoslovak pair of Váňa and Stipek.

The women's doubles final was an all-British match, in which Peggy Franks and Vera Thomas beat Dora Beregi and Helen Elliot three-one, conversely the mixed doubles was much more competitive. Richard Miles and Thelma Thall of the United States lost the first two games to Váňa and Pokorna but Thall in particular fought back strongly and she and Miles went on to win three-two.

An innovation in 1948 was the Jubilee Cup, a mixed singles event for men and women who had played in the inaugural Championships in 1926. The entrants included Zoltan Mechlovits, the 1928 World men's singles champion, and two former holders of the English Open women's singles title, Kathleen Graves (formerly Berry) and Dolly Evans (formerly Gubbins). After his opponents in the first two rounds withdrew, Ivor Montagu reached the semi-final, where he lost to the eventual winner, Bernie Bernstein. In a later challenge match Bernstein was beaten by Dolly Evans, who had been unable to take part in the knock-out competition.

An outstanding feature of the organisation was again the support given by the volunteer workers. The war had been over for only a few years and people were still struggling to return to normal life.

There was real concern whether enough of them would be able and willing to contribute towards the task of organisation but there need not have been any worries.

The annual report of the English Table Tennis Association for 1947-1948 stated: “The thanks of the Association are due to those hundreds of table tennis fans who volunteered to work as stewards and umpires, some spending the whole of the time on the job, sacrificing their holidays and business interests to work for the success of the Championships".

Significantly, it is estimated that more than 40,000 tickets were sold; the men’s singles final between Bergmann and Váňa the star attraction; a total of 12,000 spectators watched the contest.

Ichiro Ogimura Announces Arrival

The 1948 World Championships marked the 21st anniversary of the English Table Tennis Association, six years later that number was once again in evidence as the tournament returned to London. The 1954 edition, staged from Monday 5th to Wednesday 14th April, was the 21st time the event had been held.

Members of the English Table Tennis Association’s Executive Committee were keen to play host but knew it would be a substantial undertaking. Therefore, they submitted a full statement of expected costs to the 1952 Annual General Meeting, seeking an indication of the extent to which players, clubs and organisations were prepared to support the venture.

To their relief, there was unanimous endorsement of the proposal; people were prepared not only to contribute to the cost but also to volunteer for the many duties entailed in staging the Championships. It was decided to proceed.

The Empire Pool and Sports Arena had proved a very satisfactory venue in 1948, as well being as an excellent host for several subsequent English Open Championships. Good relationships had been established with the management; it was the obvious choice.

Once again there were 11 tables in use and this time each was managed by a team of three qualified umpires. In 1950 the English Table Tennis Association had introduced the first national qualifying scheme for umpires, for many this was their first opportunity

to officiate at an event of international status.

There were also about 50 subsidiary officials. They undertook such tasks as operating scoring machines, shepherding players to the correct tables and making sure that

score cards were returned promptly. The overall result was that the playing arena was organised in a much more systematic manner than at the previous Championships.

The entry was even larger than had been expected,

Aden and Saarland were accepted as “national representatives”. New Zealand, with a population the size of an English county, underlined how the sport was advancing. Over a two-year period, the cost of the World Championships was stated as Ł4,000 (Ł143,000 equivalent in 2026); in the same period the New Zealanders had raised Ł4,500 (Ł160,000 equivalent in 2026) in order to appoint a coach and compete in Wembley.

Regulations at the time limited the number of players in the first rounds proper of the individual events, it was necessary in all events to have several qualifying rounds. There was similar subscription in the men's team event, a record 33 ITTF member associations competed for the Swaythling Cup. In total 127 places were available in the

main draw comprising three groups with nine teams in each group. For the first time in the history of the World Championships, a qualification event for 12 teams was needed.

Somewhat different from present day scheduling, the qualification event was played entirely on Monday 5th April,

the entries direct into the main competition. In both team events the winner was decided by a play-off among the three group winners.

A new era had arrived, in particular one that was signalled by Japanese athletic success. The average age of their men’s team was 20 years, no player who had been present on the country’s debut in 1952 was present; visa problems had prevented entry in 1953 in Bucharest.

For the first time in the history of the World Championships, a qualification event for 12 teams was needed u

each team played three matches, each match a potential nine singles. Only in the women's team event was it found possible to accept all

Furthermore, memories of World War Two lingered, the Japanese met a hostile reception in London. There was silence from spectators when Japanese players won a point. Notably the visitors proved resilient, they won won both the men’s team and women’s team titles, the only previous occasion the feat had been

achieved was in 1937 in Baden by the United States.

Very much the Japanese icon was Ichiro Ogimura; refused a haircut by a London barber, he announced his arrival on the international stage. Following team success, he won the men’s singles title. Later, he became President of the International Table Tennis Federation from 1987 to 1994.

Group A of the men's event was won by England, whose team included former World Champions Richard Bergmann and Johnny Leach. They were unbeaten but their match against France was much closer than the five-three score line suggests.

Bergmann lost his first game against René Roothoft 5-21 but went on to win the next 18-12 under the time-limit rule. In the final game, with both players defending tenaciously, the score after 20 minutes was 5-5; it was then that Bergmann produced a series of brilliant attacking strokes, ending with a spectacular kill to win the decisive point.

Meanwhile, group B was dominated by Japan. Other than against Hungary they won all their matches five-nil. In that contest Ferenc Sido, the reigning World Champion, could not cope with the speed and directional changes of his Japanese opponents; he was beaten by both Ogimura and Yoshie Tomita.

In the key match of group C, Czechoslovakia, although without Bohumil Váňa, managed to defeat Yugoslavia five-three to win the group.

The first play-off was between England and Japan; the superiority of the visitors was soon evident. Ogimura won all his matches, Yoshio Tomita beat Bergmann and Aubrey Simons to make the final score fivetwo. In the second play-off, between Czechoslovakia and

tively the final of the competition. It proved to be a close contest.

Andreadis, one of the few players who seemed able to deal with the Asian style of play, beat all three Japanese players, including Ogimura. Ladislav Stipek overcame Tomita but with Tereba losing all his matches, the outcome depended on the contest between Stipek and Kishiji Tamasu. Stipek fought hard but Tamasu was too good and for the first time Japan had won the Swaythling Cup.

In the women’s team event, Japan lost only one match in group A, Trude Pritzi beat Kiiko Watanabe. Group B was headed by England, who almost equalled the Japanese result by dropping only two matches, Kathleen Best losing to Czechoslovakia’s Eliska Krejcova, Diane Rowe to Audrey Bates of Wales.

The crucial match in group C was between Romania, the holders, and Hungary, a match in which Rozeanu suffered her only loss in the event, beaten by Koczian.

England, the English team was clearly still feeling the effects of their previous night's efforts against Japan, they were below their best.

Ivan Andreadis won three matches, Vaclav Tereba beat Bergmann and Leach to give Czechoslovakia victory by five matches to three. Two defeats for England meant the third play-off between Japan and Czechoslovakia became effec-

Play started late and was further delayed by a disagreement about the score in the game between Hungary’s Eva Koczian and Romania’s Ella Zeller. Matters culminated with Koczian personally altering the score indicators; by the time the match ended, well after midnight, with a victory for Hungary, there were only about 20 spectators left in the arena.

For the play-off against Hungary, England rested Diane Rowe, who had seemed off form and replaced her with Ann Haydon. Alas for the host nation, this did not bring the hoped for improvement, Hungary won three-one. Rosalind Rowe's defeat of Koczian was the only English success.

However, their play-off

against Japan was much closer and the result unexpected. Japan established a two matches to nil lead after Yoshiko Tanaka beat Rosalind Rowe and Kiiko Watanabe overcame her sister Diane.

After the Japanese pair won the first game of the doubles, it looked as though the match was virtually over. However, the twins rallied, won the doubles, Rosalind beat Watanabe and Diane won the deciding game against Tanaka

22-20, to give England a hard earned three-two victory.

In the third play-off Japan defeated Hungary three-one, only Gisi Gervai (formerly Farkas) winning a match, thus on match ratio the Corbillon Cup was decided: Japan (5-4), followed by Hungary (4-4) and England (4-5).

Attention turning to the men’s singles; in the quarterfinals Bergmann beat Tomita three-nil but in an earlier

round he had struggled to defeat a young German player, Helmut Hanschmann, four of the five games went to the time limit. Ogimura reached the quarter-finals having lost only one game; he continued his good form by beating title-holder, Ferenc Sido, in straight games, the match lasting only 17 minutes.

In his semi-final with Tage Flisberg of Sweden, Bergmann never looked confident and made a number of errors

against what seemed like easy returns, perhaps deceived by Flisberg's exploitation of the thick sponge covering of his racket. The semi-final between Andreadis and Ogimura was closer and more exciting but in the end Ogimura's vigorous attacking play was too much for the Czechoslovak’s defence. Ogimura won in four games.

The final between Ichiro Ogimura and Tage Flisberg was the first ever World Championships men’s singles final when both players used

sponge covered rackets. It became known as the silent final and was, by most accounts, one of the poorest ever as a spectacle, most rallies lasted only a few strokes. Flisberg narrowly won one game but in the others his score barely reached double figures.

In the women’s singles both Rowe twins reached the quarter-finals, an event noted for youth. In the last 16, Angelica Rozeanu was 32 years old, Gizi Gervai was 28 years of age, the remaining 14

names averaged 21 years. Rosalind lost to Koczian, Diane to Japan’s Fuji Eguchi. In the other quarter-finals Romania’s Angelica Rozeanu, the holder, beat Shirley Jones of Wales, Tanaka defeated England's Kathleen Best.

In the first semi-final, Koczian was unable to repeat her Corbillon Cup win over Rozeanu, who won the third and final game after being 15-20 in arrears. The all-Japanese semifinal between Eguchi and Tanaka was a match of prolonged counter-hitting, with the more accurate Tanaka winning three-one.

Tanaka continued in this manner against Rozeanu in the final but Rozeanu's remarkable defence combined with the occasional quick attack secured her the title for the fifth successive year; thus, she matched the 1926-31 record of Maria Mednyanszky.

A highlight of the men's doubles was the performance of Victor Barna and Michel Haguenauer. Barna, who was now in his forties, had first won the title in 1929; his partner was 38 years old. Nevertheless, on their way to the final they beat the second seeds, Bergmann and Leach in addition to the strong Czechoslovak pair, Adolf Slar and Vaclav Tereba.

Meanwhile, in the other half of the draw, both men's singles finalists were in the same quarter but neither reached the final. Flisberg, partnered Alojzy Ehrlich, representing France as opposed to Poland prior to World War Two. They lost to the all-French pair comprising Roothoft and Michel Lanskoy in the longest match of the whole event, decided 22-20 in the fifth game.

The French pair was then beaten by Ogimura and Tomita, who in the semi-final lost to Zarko Dolinar and Vilim Harangozo of Yugo-

slavia. In the final, Barna and Haguenauer had no answer to the power of Dolinar and Harangozo; they won the title without conceding a game in any of their matches. A significant result, the owner of a PhD, to this date Zarko Dolinar remains the only professor ever to win a World Championships title.

In the women's doubles the Rowe twins, who had won the title in 1951, were expected to do well but it was another English pair, Kathleen Best and 15-year-old Ann Haydon that stole the show. En route to the final they beat Japan’s Hideko and Yoshiko Tanaka in addition to the seeded pairing of Scotland’s Helen Elliot and Leah Neuberger from the United States.

Later at the semi-final stage the duo won a classic, they recovered from a two games to nil deficit when facing Gervai and Rozeanu. In the final, experience proved vital, Diane and Rosalind succeeding in four games to regain the title on their 21st birthday.

There were surprises, too, in the mixed doubles. The holders Sido and Rozeanu were eliminated in the second round by the Czechoslovak pair of Laszlo Stipek and Eliska Kerjcova, who later beat Ogimura and Watanabe but lost in the quarter-finals to Barna and Rosalind Rowe. In the semi-finals Barna and Rosalind Rowe experienced defeat at the hands of the eventual winners, Andreadis and Gervai, they beat Tomita and Eguchi three-one in the final.

Once again the Jubilee Cup was staged, open to any player who had competed in a World Championships 21 or more years earlier; a total of 19 men and one woman (A. Seaholme) competed. Both Ivor Montagu and Roy Evans entered and were due to face each other in the opening

round; however, Roy Evans withdrew affording Ivor Montagu a walk-over. The names of Ivor Montagu and Roy Evans in the Jubilee Cup and Ichiro Ogimura in the main event, meant the first three ITTF Presidents technically competed; it is the only occasion when such a situation has occurred.

In terms of entries, it was larger than any previous World Championships, some 350 players from 37 members associations taking part.

the organisation and management of the events.

The reports were varied but seemingly one story was sub judice. On Sunday 11th April, a 14-year-old schoolgirl who wanted a bird’s eye view of proceedings stopped play. She climbed on the roof of the 100-foot-high building, fell through a pane of glass, and hung on to the metal frame for dear life. She suffered minor cuts; no-one was injured by the falling glass. She pleaded: “don't tell mum where I was!"

In terms of entries, it was larger than any previous World Championships, some 350 players from 37 members associations taking part

It was also by far the most ambitious project so far undertaken by the English Table Tennis Association and managing the paperwork, in the days of manual typewriters and no copying facilities, was a gargantuan task on its own.

Yet the typing section managed to produce, during the course of the Championships, no fewer than 39 printed bulletins, each in the three official languages (English, French, Spanish) of the International Table Tennis Federation. The papers contained the latest results and news, as well as thousands of other documents associated with

The attraction of table tennis but perhaps if the volunteers and others, who had to work 15 hours and more a day, had known in advance what would be required, they would have thought twice about accepting the responsibility. However, when it was all over, they could feel nothing but pride in what they had together achieved.

A time of change, but not a great extent behind the scenes. Congress agreed to allow sponge covered rackets, standardisation was not considered; for the next decade that was the hot topic.

OUT OF THE BOX THINKING

Unanimous agreement, on Thursday 20th April 1967 in the home of Gosta Brolin, during the Stockholm World Championships, the Swaythling Club International was inaugurated. The occasion followed a cocktail party one year earlier in Basel when Switzerland’s Hugo Urchetti and Georges Wassmer, alongside Yugoslavia’s Žarko Dolinar, had discussed the idea of forming an organisation which would bring together former players who had competed in a World Championships

Never short of ideas, Žarko Dolinar was very much the driving force in the establishment of the Swaything Club International.

A man of high intelligence, seemingly he analysed your personality during conversation. At such gatherings as the ITTF Council he stunned everyone as he became more and more involved in the thoughts he was propounding. At times he was from a differernt planet, his train of thought mesmerising.

However, unless eligible to compete in over 80 years events, or an ardent historian, his name may not be one with which you are familiar.

Who was Žarko Dolinar?

What in hIs past made him so passionate about the Swaythling Club International?

Born on Friday 3rd July 1920, Dolinar passed away on Sunday 9th March 2003 having at the World Championships secured eight medals; the climax being the 1954 edition in the very same venue that hosts the 2026 World Team Championships Finals, the Wembley Arena in north London.

Having lost to Richard Miles of the United States in the men’s singles third round and

Dolinar was an extrovert, he produced some 80 rackets; he used one side only, the other not covered. True to his eccentric nature, he painted a skull and cross bones on the uncovered side!

Positive thinking? The image of a plundering pirate paid dividends, one year later at the 1955 World Championships in Utrecht, he finished runner up in both the men’s singles and men’s doubles, again with Harangozo. In the former he was beaten by Japan’s Toshiaki Tanaka, in the latter by the Czechoslovak combination of Ivan Andreadis and Ladislav Štípek.

Utrecht was to mark the end of his World Championships medal haul; his first being in 1939 in Cairo when gaining men’s team silver for Yugoslavia; his colleagues being Tibor Harangozo, Adolf Herskovic, Ladislav Hexner and Max Marinko. Later in the tournament, he claimed men’s singles bronze, beaten by Poland’s Alojzy Ehrlich.

More success was to follow a generation later in 1951 in Vienna, supported by Josip Gabric, Vilim Harangozo, Zdenko Uzorinac and Josip

Vogrinc, men’s team bronze was the outcome. Two years hence, in 1953 in Bucharest, as in 1954 in harness with Linde Wertl, mixed doubles silver was the result, they were beaten by the redoubtable pairing of Hungary’s Ferenc Sido and Romania’s Angelica Rozeanu.

National champion when only 18 years old, winner of the men’s singles at the English Open in 1955, a host of other titles to his credit, afforded Dolinar good reason for wishing to form a society where old friends can meet and reflect on days of yesteryear.

However, when considering the Swaythling Club International, was the aim “to foster international friendship” the most uppermost fact in his mind?

Fulfilling the role of Acting President in 1972, he endorsed that fact: “I am sure that our Swaythling Club is a unique organisation in the world of sport. I hope that it will continue to develop and promote which money cannot buy: friendship, health, love,

I am sure that our Swaythling Club is a unique organisation in the world of sport. I hope that it will continue to develop and promote which money cannot buy: friendship, health, love, faithfulness, loyalty and tolerance

faithfulness, loyalty and tolerance.”

In 1941 Germany invaded Yugoslavia; at the time. resident in Zagreb, Dolinar worked as a sports coach, notably at the Maccabi Sports Club organised by the Jewish community.

Anti-semitism was growing in Europe, Dolinar used his status to help those in danger of persecution. Medallist at the 1939 World Championships, he had become very popular. He was welcomed everywhere, especially at the Ustaša headquarters and municipal offices.

During his visits to these offices, he stole blank identity papers and seals, helped by his brother Boris, they created travel permits and identity papers in order to assist a large number of their Jewish friends. Notably he arranged matters for his future wife Judith Duić and family, they had one daughter.

The roundup of young Jews began in June 1941, the Dolinar brothers worked to rescue as many young Jews as possible, despite the fact that the authorities suspected the brothers, they refrained from arresting them, although they did imprison their father for a period of time.

Life on the brink, later, Doli-

nar graduated from the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in 1949, and received a doctorate in 1959. He became a professor of biology in Basel University, Switzerland.

On Wednesday 8th September 1993, he was acknowledged for his war time efforts in helping the Jewish community. Yad Vashem recognized Žarko and Boris, as “Righteous Among the Nations”, an award made by the State of Israel to describe nonJews who, out of altruism, had risked their lives in order to save Jews from being exterminated by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust.

Understanding, co-operation and goodwill to mankind were emblazoned in Dolinar’s heart.

At the inaugural Swaythling Club meeting Dolinar was elected Secretary, Victor Barna assumed the role of President with Ichiro Ogimura being the Vice President. Illustrious names, at World Championships, Barna possesses a record never to be equalled; 23 gold, six silver, three bronze. Equally the curriculum vitae of Ogimura is imposing: 12 gold, five silver, three bronze.

Success a common factor; Barna dedicated, hardworking, solid and reliable was the perfect foil for Dolinar, each

contributed as much as the other to the formation of the Swaythling Club. Barna saw a main objective being that of giving, helping others; high human ideals, his enthusiasm for the concept was infectious; his name alone proving a motivating factor in gaining members.

Furthermore, both Barna and Ogimura had experienced bigotry in some form. Born Győző Braun, but because of anti-semitism in Hungary at the time, he had changed his name to Hungarian-sounding. In September 1939, during the outbreak of the Second World War, Barna and his wife were in America. Barna returned to Europe, in order to fight the Nazis. He joined the British Army as a parachutist and fought in Yugoslavia.

Somewhat differently Ogimura had experienced prejudice at the 1954 World Championships in London. Memories of World War Two were still rife, Ogimura was denied a haircut by a local barber. In the playing hall, whenever a Japanese player won a point, there was complete silence, the very opposite for any opponent.

Three celebrity names, for Switzerland’s Hugo Urchetti, slightly different. He never ascended to the heights of Barna, Ogimura and Dolinar but his contribution to table tennis was at the very least their equal. Winner of the ITTF Merit Award in 1989, awarded the Olympic Order in 2000 by the International Olympic Committee underline his status in sport.

Silver Star Geneva, the organisation for which he fulfilled the role of president for 57 years; he was paramount in the club securing the national title 27 times from 1936 to 1963, the only missing year 1943.

Make no mistake Urchetti was a fine player, during the 1940s and 1950s he was the best player in Switzerland; originally, he turned his attentions to cycling and tennis before the small white ball attracted his attention. From 1942 to 1964 he became Swiss men’s singles champion 16 times, men’s doubles on 19 occasions, 13 times the mixed doubles winner.

Additionally, representing

In total, Urchetti competed in eight World Championships from 1947 to 1957. In 1950 in Budapest, he was captain of the Swiss team that finished in fifth place in the Swaythling Cup alongside Sweden. Later in that tournament he advanced to the men’s singles last 16, losing to Hungary’s Ferenc Sido. Earlier, in 1947 in Paris he had progressed to the mixed doubles quarter-final alongside compatriot Alice Grandschamp, the pair lost to the United States combination of William Holrichter and Davida Hawthorn.

SUPPORTING GOOD CAUSES

Supporting good causes is a major goal of the Swaythling Club International, a prime example was enacted in May 2023 at the World Championships in Durban, South Africa; on that occasion a partnership was signed with the ITTF Foundation. Both parties agreed to share the vision of using table tennis to foster development, creating a lasting impact on communities worldwide.

The partnership focused on ensuring the continuance of the Emergency Relief Fund to aid those affected by the earthquakes in Syria and Turkey, as well as later in 2024, supporting the organisation of the South East Asian Junior Championships in Sri Lanka. Earlier in 2022 backing had been given to Ukrainian participation at the European Table Tennis Union’s Under 13 Challenge in the Montenegrin city of Podgorica.

Furthermore, in 2024 a stand was shared with the ITTF Foundation at the World Championships in Busan and the World Masters Championships in Rome, the latter a tournament in which, with clothing help from Double Happiness, Scotland’s Steve Morley and Austria’s Agnes Jan formed the “SCI Parkinson” team.

Similarly, the “Health Conference about Alzeimer and Parkinson” at the World Health Festival in 2023 in Crete and in 2025 in Helsingborg were supported.

Sadly, with the death earlier this year on Saturday 3rd January of Joe Veselsky, who survived the Holocaust and later moved to Ireland where he captained the national team, all members of the original committee are now deceased.

The master of elegance, Ivan Andreadis won a host of medals at the World Championships, notably the men’s team event four times, the men’s doubles on five occasions but never the men’s singles. He was a semi-finalist in 1950, 1954 and 1957, the runner up in 1951 and 1953; alongside Timo Boll, Ma Lin, Jean-Michel Saive and Vladimir Samsonov, the greatest player ever not to hold high the St Bride Vase?

Arguably less well known, Bengt Grive (born Gustafsson), a freelance journalist, represented Sweden at the World Championships between 1948 and 1950. He is best known for commentating Björn Borg's Wimbledon tennis finals during the 1970s and 1980s.

Meanwhile Dr Dieter Mauritz competed at the World Championships in 1936 and 1938, then in 1951, 1952 and 1956. Impressively on the last two appearances he reached the men’s singles last 16; he became President of the Deutsche Tischtennis-Bund (German Table Tennis Federation), from 1965 to 1981.

A committee in place, support came from others present at the very beginning: Guy Amouretti (France), Gosta Brolin (Sweden), Ron Crayden (England), Tage Flisberg (Sweden), Laszlo Földy (Switzerland), Bill Gunn (United

Significantly, all involved with the organisation’s foundation had links with the men’s team event at the World Championships, thus the name “Swaythling”, after the trophy for the event donated in 1926 by Lady Swaythling, the mother of Ivor Montagu, the ITTF Founder President, was agreed.

Moving forward, at the 1968 European Championships in Lyon, Ivor Montagu and Roy Evans, at the time ITTF President, became the first honorary members.

It was a gesture appreciated by Montagu who stated

clearly the accolade would have been greatly appreciated by his mother. Later distinguished names who had given great service to the Club, such as Joe Veselsky, were added.

Sadly, in 1972 in Lima, Peru, representing the Dunlop Sports Company, on one of his many foreign excursions, Victor Barna succumbed to a heart attack. Only 60 years old, an era not only for table tennis but for the whole of sport had come to an end.

A pivotal time, at an Extraordinary General Meeting, held during the 1972 European Championships in Rotterdam, Dolinar was elected Acting President, later in 1973 Joe Veselsky assumed the role of President with Dolinar and Ogimura Deputy Presidents.

Under the banner of the Swaythling Club, the name lives on. The “Victor Barna Best Player Award” is presented at the World Team Championships Finals.

Most significantly, in the five years since the inauguration of the Swaythling Club, Barna had helped the organisation progress from strength to strength; in May 1968 membership had risen from 21 to 53, by January 1970 the number was 141; in May 1972, the total read 214.

True to his legacy, numbers continued to rise, in July 1973 there were 242 registered members, in April 1976, the overall total was 312; such was the situation in 1973 that the official name was rebranded: “Swaythling Club International”, the reason in order to differentiate with the increasing number of national Swaythling Clubs that were appearing. Now in 2026, the number exceeds 550 members.

Later Dolinar, followed by Johnny Leach and Ferenc Sido occupied the presidential seat

TOURNAMENT INVITES

The Swaythling Club International endeavours to obtain invitations with free admission, accommodation, meals, hospitality and invitations to social functions, for members at World Championships continental tournaments and other such international events. Selection is made by the Executive Committee, the priority being:

Former World Champions and Olympic Champions are given first priority followed by former international players and renowned personalities.

before Diane Schöler became the first female to hold such office, she was followed by husband Ebby before Öivind Eriksen took office, only to return the favour to Ebby Schöler after one year. Claude Bergeret became president in 2021, the position she holds to the present day.

She has a very special place in the history books; winner of the mixed doubles with Jacques Secretin at the 1977 World Championships in Birmingham, she is the most

recent female player, not from Asia to win a World Championships title. One wonders for how much longer!

Addtionally, she was an ITTF Vice President from 2005 to 2009 and ETTU Vice President in charge of Development from 2000 to 2004.

The tradition of prominent names at the helm is maintained, the initiative of Žarko Dolinar continues to stand the test of time.

Veteran

World Veteran Championships

The first Championships were held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1982 and attracted over 400 entries. The Championships had no official status but brought together veteran players from many parts of the world. They enjoyed the matches whilst renewing old friendships as well as enjoying the social gathering of participants and families.

A World Veteran Championships fully expresses the principles of the Swaythling Club International, so willingly patronage was afforded with perpetual trophies presented for all the singles events. A committee was formed to organise future Championships to be held every two years.

The Swaythling Club International is proud that the World Veteran Championships have become a most sought after and popular event amongst the table tennis community. Players who have competed in 12 or more World Veteran Championships receive a special diploma.

As and from the 2023 World Veteran Championships in Oman the tournament is under the jurisdiction of the International Table Tennis Federation.

STEPPING FORWARD BY KING’S COMMAND

Volunteering in a somewhat nervous manner, offering to help when all others remained silent, the result global travel and royal recognition.

A familiar face both nationally and internationally, a member of the Swaythling Club International, for his services to the sport of table tennis, England’s JOHN MACKEY received the British Empire Medal (BEM) in the King’s New Years Honours list published earlier this year on Thursday 1st January.He has officiated at W

He has officiated at World, European and Commonwealth Championships but nothing surpasses early August 2012 in the ExCeL arena.

“One of my happiest moments in umpiring was when I discovered that I had been selected to umpire the women’s team final at the London Olympic Games, but this honour of a British Empire Medal easily surpasses that moment”, he sighed. “I never thought that my contribution to table tennis would be acknowledged in this way.”

The affinity with the small white ball started in 1974 at his workplace, Trinity House Lighthouse Service at Tower Hill in London. He played at lunchtimes, competitive play starting one year later in the London Civil Service League in 1975. Now over half a century later, he continues to ply his skills.

“I still play weekly in my local league, and the occasional veteran open tournament”, he smiled. “I only play local league, but I have won a winner or runner-up medal every season since 1981!”

In March, Mackey added two more titles to his collection; winning the Division Two Singles and the Over 70 veteran events at the Scunthorpe League Closed Championships.

An avid player in 1981, Mackey witnessed his first taste of officialdom in 1996.

“My involvement in local table tennis administration started in 1981 when the Secretary of the Scunthorpe League was moving away from the area and a special meeting was called to find a replacement”, explained Mackey. “There were about 50 people at the meeting, but when a volunteer for the role was asked for,

nobody would step forward, so despite knowing very few people in the league I tentatively raised my hand and offered to do it. I had no great desire to do the role, but I thought: well, someone has to do it so I’ll have a go.”

Later in 1996, the umpiring path commenced. Bill Moran, a well-known official and the Umpires’ Secretary for the county of Lincolnshire, wanted to organise seminars in each local league in order to try to recruit new umpires.

“No-one at the county meeting offered so I said I would do one, only two others attended the Scunthorpe seminar but I was the only one to take it forward to become an umpire”, remembered Mackey. “I had no ambitions to umpire before that seminar; it just seemed to happen, because I didn’t want Bill Moran to be disheartened by the lack of response by others in the county.”

Step by step Mackey progressed: 1996 County Umpire (Level 1); 1999 National Umpire (Level 2); 2002 International Umpire (Level 3); 2003 Advanced Rules Examination and Advanced Umpires Training Course, 2005 Blue Badge qualified (Level 4).

“I let my Blue Badge lapse at the end of 2023; 18 years was long enough, I felt there was a desire within the ITTF for younger umpires, not for those approaching the age of 70”, explained Mackey. “It was primarily because of retirement from work and the financial costs of travelling to international tournaments, along with my perception of a preference by the ITTF for younger umpires.”

Nevertheless, the attraction of sitting in the hot seat is undiminished.

‘I continue to umpire because being ‘on court’ you get the best view of potentially really exciting play, but primarily I do it because I love the sport and want to make a contribution to the sport”, added Mackey.

Exciting play, one match in particular stands out in his mind, the final at the Men’s World Cup in 2005 in Liège between Germany’s Timo Boll and China’s Wang Hao.

“It was my first major world final but still ranks as my most memorable; it was a thrilling match in which both players demonstrated exceptional skill and speed”, said Mackey. “The match was best of seven games with Wang Hao going into a 3-2 lead, before Boll took the match all the way to win 4-3.”

Involved at the highest levels but Mackey has never forgotten his roots; for the Scunthorpe League during the period 1981 to 2005 he

served on the League Committee as Secretary (1981 – 1986), League President (1987 – 2005), and Press Officer (1987 – 2005).

Beyond the local area, Mackey has held a variety of administration roles as well standing on several Table Tennis England committees. Additionally, he has worked as a trainer and mentor of umpires being elected Vice-President of Table Tennis England in 2021; since 2020 he has served as Chair of the Tournament Approval Panel for Table Tennis England.

“I suppose I gain much pleasure from being able to help others in their officiating journey and development, this was most strongly felt when I was able to train and mentor others”, stressed Mackey. “When umpires, even now, express their gratitude for my help, it makes it all feel worthwhile.”

Very much Mackey is the man for reference and advice; aware that umpires face testing times and need to make razor edge decisions.

“One of the greatest problems is the service Law regarding there being nothing between the ball and the net from the start of service until the moment the ball is struck”, stressed Mackey. “The position of the umpire in relation to the server can sometimes make it very difficult to judge whether the ball is, for example, behind the head.”

Always the service rule has been a bone of contention, but one recent innovation does please his eye and alleviates a problem.

“The most significant change to have improved table tennis is to now allow coaching during a game, (without affecting continuity of play), explained Mackey. “This helps umpires to focus better on actual play”.

● An ability to make quick and accurate decisions, particularly when under pressure

● The ability to communicate clearly and with confidence, and if necessary to be assertive, though avoiding being officious

● To avoid prejudice or prior conceptions about a player, be totally fair and impartial

● To be professional and consistent

● An attitude that ‘I don’t know everything’ and to be willing to learn from others, and to maintain a strong knowledge of rules, regulations, and umpiring procedures

Equally, in a totally different aspect of officiating he sees life difficult for those trying to scale the umpiring ladder.

I suppose I gain much pleasure from being able to help others in their officiating journey and development, this was most strongly felt when I was able to train and mentor others

“Progression to Blue Badge Level 4 is now very difficult because of the number of Blue Badge umpires that are qualified or are in progress towards qualification, in relation to the number of tournaments at which evaluations are held”, concluded Mackey.

Now, for Mackey, climbing to the next level is not on the agenda but he is as enthusiastic as ever.

He plans to be active umpiring and refereeing in England, mentoring umpires, approving tournaments, delivering the Table Tennis England calendar as well as being responsible for the sanction scheme for player misbehaviour.

Most importantly, for those younger hoping to progress to the highest levels in whatever aspect of table tennis chosen, he remains a source of advice,a reservoir of knowledge.

ITTF FOUNDATION

CLEARER NAME BUT SAME MISSION

TT Dream Building, one of the ITTF Foundation’s most successful initiatives, is now rebranded as TT4Change!

The name TT Dream Building captured inspiration and ambition, it did not always clearly convey the programme’s core focus: “creating meaningful change.” In comparison, TT4Change communicates this purpose; immediately, it reflects the aims of the programme, highlighting action, impact, and the values at the heart of the concept.

Built around three pillars: TT4All, TT4Health, and now TT4Change, changing the programme names strengthens the Foundation’s identity and makes it clearer and easier for communities, partners, and supporters to understand how the concepts link.

A change but the values that have guided the

programme from the beginning - trust in local leadership, community cohesion, and the belief that sport can empower and change lives - remain unchanged.

Supporting selected organisations to deliver impactful community projects around the world continues; existing and past projects remain an integral part of the programme’s legacy, and ongoing initiatives will continue without interruption.

Alongside TT4All and TT4Health, TT4Change completes a cohesive framework for the ITTF Foundation's work in making a social impact through table tennis.

Commencing in December regular workshops have been held, the official date for the start of the initiative is Thursday 23rd April, World Table Tennis Day.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIRLS

level sports environment. Throughout the journey, KKM staff accompanied them, offering technical, emotional, and logistical support.

Hailing from a region where opportunities for girls in sport have traditionally been limited, now, they are travelling across districts, competing at state level, bringing pride back to their communities. Notably, their achievements have sparked conversations among families and community members about encouraging more girls to pursue sports and education.

Trust within families has grown significantly since KKM introduced the programme. Parents now feel confident sending their daughters to competitions in different districts of Gujarat. Even when parents cannot accompany them, girls and boys travel together with trust and support.

Falguni Bhil, 16 year old. has represented her district and state on two occasions in state tournaments

Celebrated on Sunday 8th March, International Women’s Day, provided the perfect opportunity to remember the story from Kapadwanj Kelavani Mandal (KKM), one of the ITTF Foundation’s project partners in India.

Through the dedicated project “Smash Barriers”, KKM is creating new opportunities for girls to step forward, build confidence, and inspire change within their communities.

Saraswati, Roshni and Falguni Bhil are participants in KKM’s table tennis programme in Kapadvanj. For them, the journey began simply by joining local training sessions, but in August 2025, the three girls stepped on a stage far bigger than they had ever imagined.

Encouragement from their mother, family, and the KKM team, they participated in the Zonal Level School Games Federation of India (SGFI) Table Tennis Tournament. They achieved remarkable success and earned the opportunity to represent Bhavnagar at the State Level Tournament in Gujarat.

Returning home, their community afforded a warm welcome; male family members placed wreaths around their necks, everyone was immersed in the shared pride. For the three girls, the experience was filled with firsts: travelling outside their district without family members, staying overnight, and competing in a high-

Social dynamics are evolving as well. Boys in the community now show supportive and respectful behaviour towards girls, whether during local training sessions or when welcoming visiting players from other districts. Girls and boys train and compete side by side. The shift is visible beyond the sports field, women and men now sit together during community meetings, something that had not happened before. Through the simple act of playing together, table tennis is quietly reshaping social norms.

Saraswati Bhil, 16 years old, who studies at C.N. Vidyalay Kapadvanj, joined KKM’s programme a year and a half ago, she had never played a racket sport before. At first, she found the game boring and doubted whether she would continue, but with regular practice and guidance, she began to understand the concentration, fitness, and mental strength required, her interest grew.

During an inter-community mixed gender tournament organised by KKM, Saraswati began taking the game more seriously, when encouraged to participate in the SGFI tournament for exposure, she won at district level and qualified for the state competition. The first tournament experience was emotionally challenging. She felt nervous and unsure. Staying overnight and interacting with girls from other communities helped her realise they were just like her. As friendships formed, her confidence grew.

Although losing some matches, she described those moments as important lessons. She observed her opponents, learned new techniques, and understood that self-doubt holds

one back more than defeat ever could. In the KKM programme, playing in a mixed-gender environment helped her understand mutual respect and equality. Today, she supports younger children, like her in the past, learning table tennis and building confidence.

“I can play. I can move forward,” she believes. Now she helps others believe the same.

Roshni Bhil, 15, has been part of the programme since its beginning. She has represented her school and community at state level twice. When she first joined KKM’s programme, she did not even know table tennis was a structured sport. She simply wanted to try something new, her turning point came when she scored her first point, which brought pure joy that sparked her commitment.

Early competitions were filled with nervousness; her hands shook during her first match. She realised quickly that mental focus is just as important as physical skill; each setback became a lesson. Over time, she learnt to manage her emotions, communicate clearly, and speak up during reflection sessions. She began sharing observations and express ing appreciation for others, when she re alised she would not be judged, her confidence flourished.

At home, change was happening too. Al though her grandmother was strict, her parents supported her and advocated for her right to play. Jyotsnaben, her mother, became more actively in volved in meetings and began speaking openly about her daughter’s growth and future. Through the table tennis programme, Roshni and her family have found their voice and a new version of themselves.

Falguni Bhil, 16 years of age, has represented her district and state in tournaments twice. A defining moment for her came during a visit to Ahmedabad and Vadodara to watch WTT tournaments.

Seeing girls from different coun tries compete on a big stage changed her perspective. For the first time, she believed she could one day reach that level too; her early matches were challenging.

RIGHT Roshni Bhil, 15 year old, has been part of the program since its beginning.

BELOW Saraswati Bhil, 16 year old, studies at C.N. Vidyalay Kapadvanjumpiring procedures

Thoughts about family arguments and her father’s initial resistance distracted her during play. Losing made her anxious about community reactions. However, she remained proud of reaching the state level and promised herself she would improve.

Gradually, her father began to trust her journey. One of her happiest moments was when her parents watched her match via video call; that small act of support strengthened her determination. Sport has transformed her behaviour as well. She now speaks respectfully, helps younger children, and takes responsibility in her family and community. She has learnt that consistent effort leads to growth in sport and in life.

The journeys of Saraswati, Roshni, and Falguni have already inspired other girls in their community. One example is Jiya Bhil, a 14-year-old girl who qualified for the Khel Mahakumbh and reached the Gujarat State Level Tournament for the first time.

The transformation in Kapadvanj is still unfolding. As more girls gain confidence and families embrace new opportunities, the ripple effects continue to grow.

PROMOTERS MEET TO INTEGRATE WORLD TABLE TENNIS DAY

World Table Tennis Day ever closer, in early March a workshop which brought together 37 promoters was held; the aim to explore how the theme “Health and Well-Being” can be meaningfully integrated into local celebrations.

The workshop was delivered by the ITTF Foundation Health Team, led by Ramon Ortega Montes (Health Impact Manager) and Lea Hure (Health Impact Co-ordinator).

Matters began by considering the definition of health, highlighting the fact the subject is more than physical fitness and involves mental, as well as social well-being. The powerful role table tennis can play was stressed.

Also, the idea of sport for development was introduced, emphasising how table tennis can serve not only as a sport to practise and improve performance, but also as a tool to promote healthier lifestyles, strengthen communities, and create a positive social impact.

To help promoters, activity blocks with aims for different age groups, were listed:

● physical activity and prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)

● mental health and social connection

● brain health

● nutrition awareness

● gender awareness, reproductive care, and family planning

The Health Team also demonstrated practical exercises and activity ideas that organisers can easily implement during their local

events. The examples showed how table tennis can be creatively adapted to raise awareness about health topics, whilst keeping celebrations fun, inclusive and engaging.

Meanwhile, to support organisers worldwide, the exercises will appear in the Table Tennis for Health and Well-Being handbook.

The handbook will serve as a practical guide for promoters, event organisers, and anyone who wants to implement table tennis for health activities, providing ideas and tools to help individuals and groups integrate healthfocused initiatives into their celebrations.

A key highlight of the workshop was the interactive exchange among promoters; they shared their ideas and approaches for integrating health into their local celebrations.

Two Promoters, Manuela Simones and Karin Gosset, presented their plans for World Table Tennis Day, their creative approach offered valuable inspiration for others.

In particular, the presentation and discussion reflected the enthusiasm, creativity, and commitment shared by the global promoters’ network and the true value of mutual learning in using table tennis to promote a healthier and more connected world.

Proceedings concluded, the workshop was adjuged a great success; most importantly it had provided inspiration and motivation.

All looked forward with anticipation to the 12th World Table Tennis Day.

Play Table Tennis with Alica

A major aim stated in the constitution of the Swaythling Club International is to encourage younger players; one member who fulfils that goal beyond all bounds is ALICA CHLADEKOVÁ, the former Alica

Grofova, women’s singles runner

up

at the 1973 World Championships in Sarajevo

In mid November, the Slovak Table Tennis Association reached 100 years; adding to the celebrations Alica Chladeková promoted a campaign for young people: "Playing ping-pong with Alica".

The initiative was suggested by Dr. Ján Holko, former chairman of the Slovak Association of Physical Culture (1999-2005). He has been one of Chladekova’s greatest allies, especially supporting World Table Tennis Day. Over the years the initiative attracted 527 schools, each received rackets and balls, overall 53,506 young people participated. Alas, since 2023 a lack of financial support has meant curtailment.

Hovever, looking on the bright side “Playing ping-pong with Alica” recorded 64 primary schools and nine secondary schools plus one leisure centre and the city of Košice. In addition, nine special schools (441 children with

disabilities) participated, children with sight problems being included.

The programme lasted from Wednesday 15th October to Friday 12th December. A wide range of activities, several schools featured the history of table tennis, some holding meetings with players and staging tournaments.

Notably, Ladislav Sára Grammar School in the Slovak capital city of Bratislava, for children from eight years old, set the standard, 503 pupils played. The second biggest was also in Bratislava, the Primary School on Mierova Street with 492 children, they played for a week in physical education classes.

More than half the number of schools came from eastern Slovakia, the Prešov region boasted 23 schools, the Košice region no less than 21 schools.

Talent Team

The ideal country to visit for starting the New Year; kickstarting 2026, the Oceania Youth Talent Team attended a training camp in China at the Chengdu National Key Table Tennis Training School from Sunday 4th to Sunday 18th January.

Players from the two major strongholds in the continent, Australia and New Zealand attended, alongside representatives from New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands and Tahiti. Selection took into consideration results gained in 2025 in addition to potential, and engagement in national association activities.

Oceania Development Officers, Hongbo Liang and Ocean Belrose led the group.

Throughout the training camp, the players participated in a professional environment spending six hours per day practising. All learnt technical, tactical, physical and psychological skills relevant to table tennis, receiving the opportunity to experience the qualities required to play at the highest level.

In common within the Oceania table tennis family, the team developed a strong sense of camaraderie despite coming from many different countries and cultural backgrounds; in particular, members spoke a range of languages. It is hoped that the training camp helped and inspired the players to reach their short-term and longterm goals.

A most successful venture, the Chinese Table Tennis Association alongside the Chengdu National Key Table Tennis Training School proved excellent hosts, most hospitable; everyone was made welcome. ITTF-Oceania is most grateful for the welcome received and looks forward to returning more regularly in the future.

Notably, it was the first time in more than 10 years when ITTF-Oceania has sent a delegation to Chengdu.

Supported by the International Table Tennis Federation, the Oceania Youth Talent Team forms part of the Oceania Development Program.

Cook Islands

Located in the Polynesian region of Oceania, comprising 15 islands, Cook Islands covers a vast expanse of 2,000,000 square kilometres in the South Pacific Ocean.

A population of approximately 17,000, a warm local Māori culture; the whole area is far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. No building is taller than a coconut tree, there are no traffic lights; stunning lagoons and sun drenched scenery form the idyllic setting.

The primary island is Rarotonga, a popular tourism hub and home to the nation’s capital, Avarua; from Wednesday 25th February to Thursday 12th March the host for an in-country visit organised under the auspices of the Oceania Development Program.

Ocean Belrose was the expert on duty in his capacity of Oceania Development Officer.

The focus was centred on:

● school visits

● a training camp

● coach education

● competition opportunities

● providing ongoing assistance to the Cook Islands Table Tennis Association (CITTA) Executive

Following in the footsteps of the preceding visit in March 2025, the itineray aimed at assisting the ongoing development of table tennis in the islands.

In recent years CITTA has enjoyed outstanding results under the leadership of President Danny Vakapora and his Executive. Most notably, the Cook Islands women’s team qualified for the 2026 ITTF World Team Championships Finals in London; unfortunately, they had to cancel owing to financial and player availability issues.

Additionally, Cook Islands had a player selected for the 2025 Oceania Talent Team and received an ITTF equipment package.

Like many Oceania member associations, there is significant talent; with ongoing support, guidance and opportunities, it is hoped that the undoubted potential will be realised.

ITTF-Oceania thanks the International Table Tennis Federation for supporting the Oceania Development Program, without such backing, help where it is most needed, would not be possible.

Palau

An archipelago comprising some 340 coral and volcanic islands, situated in the western Pacific Ocean, from Saturday 28th February to Saturday 14th March, Palau was the destination for an Oceania Development Program visit.

Hongbo Liang, Oceania Development Officer, was the expert on duty.

A total area of 466 square kilometres (180 square miles), Palau is one of the smallest countries in the world, in fact it is listed as the 16th smallest. Located on the island of Babeldaob in Melekeok State, the capital is Ngerulmud. Often the capital is the destination for courses but in Palau that was not the situation, Koror, the populous area and very much the commercial centre, played host.

Promoting sport in Palau, as in all Pacific islands is hampered by distance. The closest Oceania neighbours are Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and Federated States of Micronesia; the nearest Asian neighbours are the Philippines and Indonesia.

Thus, for the itinerary, every second counted, an intensive schedule in order to cover as many items as possible was required for the two week period; the focus throughout being centred on five areas:

● conducting a training camp for the national team

● conducting a competition

● undertaking school visits

● providing a competition management education session

● holding key meetings with the Palau National Olympic Committee, Japanese Embassy and the Australian Embassy

A comparatively recent ITTF member association, accepted at Congress in 1997, Palau has been active since that date.

Regularly, they win medals at the quadrennial Micronesian Games; they hold national level events and compete at the Pacific Games, Pacific Mini Games and Oceania Championships. Most recently, Palau hosted the 2025 Pacific Mini Games which has created momentum towards the next phase of growth and development; with continued support and guidance, it is hoped that the potential of the current generation will be realised.

Overall, a successful visit made possible thanks to efforts of the Palau National Olympic Committee, under the guidance of Secretary-General Baklai Temengil.

Similar to all such initiatives matters are organised under the umbrella of the International Table Tennis Federation.

We Remember

Referred to by friends as the “Grand Monsieur” of table tennis, born in 1931, having been ill for some time, Belgium’s André Damman, passed away in a nursing home on Monday 23rd February, he was 95 years old.

A member of the Swaythling Club International, an unassuming demeanour, a gentle smile, a man of high integrity, it is for his administrative skills that he is best remembered.

Always prepared to speak his mind, he was appointed Chair of the ITTF Ranking Committee in 1983, a role that may seem quite straightforward but during his tenure was most demanding. It was a period when sport moved from lists determined by committee decision to data being inputted to a computer and the order was realised.

Discussion after discussion, clanking typewriters, phone calls via an operator, letters abundant; gradually, the appearance of the fax machine as technology moved forward, but everything taking more time than the presentday emails and social media.

Notably several years ago he stepped back from his ranking committee role, realising the fact technology had moved forward at a rapid pace and such a committee was not needed. He accepted the invitation to join the ITTF President’s Advisory Board.

However, it was not just juggling numbers where he excelled; whenever French to English translation or vice versa was needed he was the first port of call. At ITTF Council Meetings, of which he was a member for many years, often he fulfilled the role of voluntary translator. Furthermore, when the editorial for the ITTF Bulletin and later Table Tennis Illustrated was needed in French, the role always fell on his shoulders.

Additionally, his skills were greatly appreciated by the European Table Tennis Union. He was a member of the ETTU Classification Committee from 1976 and served as Chair from 1988 to 1990. Later he became Chair of the ETTU Ranking Committee, a position he held from 1990 to 2008, just as with the International Table Tennis Federation playing a major role in the increased use of technology.

Official, administrator, also he was coach. Most memorably, he was non-playing captain for Belgium at the 1983 World Championships in Tokyo, competing in Category Three, time and again he selected Remo de Prophetis, Thierry Cabrera and Didier Leroy. He afforded an aspiring 13-year-old just one match, that against El Salvador, the teenager a certain Jean-Michel Saive.

Similarly, Didier Leroy, for many years an ITTF Competition Manager and nowadays a member of the European Table Tennis Union’s Executive Board, has the greatest of respect for a man who influenced his life.

“He was definitively my mentor in table tennis; when I was young he taught me a lot about

“I remember that well I was just a small boy excited at playing in my first World Championships, always André was supportive, someone you could trust”, explained Saive. “He possessed a great knowledge of players, particularly in his role as Chair of the Ranking Committee, he took a genuine interest; also, he kept detailed records, especially of Belgian players, I just hope they are not lost.”

Furthermore, outside the playing arenas and committee rooms he had a further most valuable talent.

“He made excellent waffles”, smiled Saive with an air of nostalgia. “To this day I don’t know if he brought a waffle making machine or something with him, or whether he made them at home and then brought them with him; whatever they were very good.”

technique and tactics; also, mentally how to improve my game,” stressed Leroy. “That was not all, he showed me the way how to develop in life; always he worked hard, he was discreet and I have tried to follow his example during my career.”

Concisely, Leroy summed the gratitude owed: Thank you, Mr Damman, for all you brought to table tennis in Belgian and internationally.”

Note the level of respect, Leroy refers to him as Mr Damman, not André.

Administrator, coach, cook; add to the list that of player, he represented Belgium at the 1960 and 1962 European Championships.

Notably during his playing career, he beat such notables as Meyer de Statelhofen, the Swiss national champion and Connie Warren, who rose to number three on the England’s men’s ranking in 1967.

André Damman devoted his life to table tennis, the sport is richer for his efforts, he is sadly missed.

Neil Harwood

Resident in Tasmania, Australia’s Neil Harwood, a member of the Swaythling Club International, passed away earlier this year in January; born in 1943, he was 82 years old.

Recipient of the prestigious Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2007, the career was step by step, from joining the Committee of the Southern Tasmanian Table Tennis Association to spearheading Olympic and World events.

At a national level, Neil served as Team Manager for Australia at three Olympic Games, seven World Championships, four Commonwealth Championships, three Asian Championships and five Oceania Championships. He served on the Table Tennis Australia Board between 1984 and 2004, including a three year

period from 1996 to 1999 as President. Neil was awarded Table Tennis Australia Life Membership in 1994 and in 2020 was the first person to be inducted into the Table Tennis Australia Hall of Fame as an administrator.

Meanwhile, in Oceania, Neil was the Australian delegate from 1983 to1995, before becoming ITTF-Oceania President from 1996-2005. Neil was awarded ITTF-Oceania Personal Honorary Membership in 2012.

Extensive involvement, it was the same regarding the International Table Tennis Federation. He fulfilled the role of Australian Delegate from 1985 to1995, Continental Vice President from 1996 to 2005, Chair of Umpires and Referees, 2001 to 2003. Additionally, he was Executive Vice President for Finance 2005 to 2012,

before ascending to the office of Deputy President, a position he held for one year, stepping down in 2013.

Furthermore, on the international stage, Neil was the Competition Manager for the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, International Technical Delegate for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games and member of the Board of Commonwealth Games Australia from 2001 to 2004.

He was awarded Life Membership of the Com-

monwealth Table Tennis Federation after serving for more than 30 years, including in the role of Deputy Chair for 15 years.

“Neil’s impact on table tennis in Australia, throughout across Oceania and internationally is beyond measure; his passion, dedication, and tireless service shaped the sport in ways few could ever match, said Anthony Moore, ITTFOceania President. “Neil touched every corner of the game, leaving a legacy that will continue to endure; we mourn the loss of a true giant of our sport, a devoted servant and a cherished

friend to many across the world. Our heartfelt condolences go to Neil’s family and all who were privileged to know him.”

Equally, Scott Houston, ITTF Oceania Chief Executive was most praiseworthy; well aware he had lost a mentor and colleague.

“Neil is arguably Table Tennis Australia’s greatest ever administrator, enjoying a decorated career over more than 50 years,” explained Houston. “Neil’s impact was so great, he was able to bring an Australian voice to the sport at

an international level; coming from a country so small in relation to the rest of the table tennis population, that’s something that is truly remarkable.”

An outstanding career for a man who displayed great loyalty, a friendly welcoming nature combined with mischievous smile and dry wit.

Everyone with whom he worked had trust and confidence in his abilities.

Condolences to his wife, Sandra and family.

There’s no way I would have achieved anything I did without his input. He was second to none in his knowledge of table tennis and I think everybody who saw how he worked would say the same.

Former England and Singapore national coach, member of the Swaythling Club International, Liu Jiayi, passed away on Friday 16th January. He was 76 years old.

Born in Fujian, China in August 1949, he arrived in England in 1994, his role national junior coach. Previously he had occupied similar positions in China and Dubai as well as working personally with Chen Xinhua, a player of considerable stature; he won the 1985 Men’s World Cup and was a member of China’s gold medal winning team at the 1985 World Championships in Gothenburg and two years later in New Delhi.

Chen Xinhua, having become resident in England in the late 1980s, was a major reason for Liu Jiayi’s move.

Welcomed in England, Liu Jiayi occupied a series of positions: Performance Director (199798), National Coach (1998-2000), National Coaching Manager (2000-2007), Head Performance Coach (2007-2011), National Performance Coach (2011-2013), before assuming the role of National Coach in Singapore (2014-19). He was named an English Table Tennis Association VicePresident in 2012.

Leading the coaching programmes at national performance centres in Sheffield and Nottingham, Liu Jiayi set standards. Notably, England enjoyed considerable success at the Commonwealth Championship.

In particular, Matthew Syed completed a hattrick of men’s singles titles when winning in 2001 in New Delhi, a tournament in which Alex Perry and Terry Young secured the men’s doubles top prize. One year earlier in Singapore, England had won men’s team gold. Furthermore, at the Commonwealth Championships, England gained silver in 2010 in New Delhi.

However, it is for his success with the England cadets and juniors that he will be best remem-

bered. Paul Drinkhall reached third spot on the World Junior Boys’ ranking, gained a boys’ singles silver medal at the 2008 World Junior Championships. Also, at the European Youth Championships, he won both the cadet boys’ and junior boys’ singles titles; the former in 2005 in Prague, the latter in 2008 in Terni, the year Gavin Evans also won the cadet boys’ singles title!

Additionally at the European Youth Championships, in 2007 at Bratislava, Drinkhall, alongside Darius Knight, David Meads and Danny Reed won the junior boys’ team title; thus adding to the 2005 success in the Dominican Republic. On that occasion with Knight once again on duty, Gavin Evans and Damien Nicholls completing the line up, gold at the World Cadet Challenge was secured. Furthermore, Drinkhall finished boys’ singles silver medallist.

Drinkhall said of his relationship with Liu Jiayi:

“There’s no way I would have achieved anything I did without his input. He was second to none in his knowledge of table tennis and I think everybody who saw how he worked would say the same.

A lot of what he said to us as kids we’d think was crazy at the time, but then everybody was doing the same thing four or five months later. He was ahead of his time and pretty much the main man for knowledge and love of the sport, he dedicated his life to it.

From a personal point of view, my dad is great and did everything a dad can do, but I was also away a lot from a young age, so Jia took on a bit of a dad role when I was away. I certainly

learned a lot from him and took values from him and my family were happy that he was the man doing that because he had very good values, which I try to pass on to my kids.”

Also, Liu Jiayi worked with Jo Drinkhall (former Jo Parker); Paul added:

“Jo playing a defensive style is quite challenging for coaches, but he was Chen Xinhua’s coach and his knowledge was on a par with or even better than his attacking knowledge. So, he helped Jo a lot about understanding more about the defensive game.”

Gavin Evans, who has followed Liu Jiayi’s footsteps as the current Director of Performance Development, said:

“He had a profound effect on English table tennis and changed the lives of so many for the better, from the likes of Gareth Herbert, Terry Young and Darren Blake through to Paul Drinkhall, Liam Pitchford, Darius Knight and myself.

He was the coach when the programme was in Sheffield and in Nottingham, he dedicated his life to the ETTA for 17, 18 years.

He was known as the multiball king and was ahead of his time in the way he coached and the reason we had so many cadet titles back in

the day was due to him being ahead of the curve.

He was a genius and when he was coaching me, he was like a god. There are very few coaches I’ve met who were at his level. It’s very sad news indeed and my heart goes out to his wife, who cooked for me and made me feel very welcome in their home, and to his daughter Lucy and his grandchildren.”

Peter Charters, who was the ETTA Vice Chair in charge of Performance and Coaching at the time, said of Liu Jiayi: “What a fantastic coach he was, certainly the best I was involved with. We were very, very lucky to have him.

He was very devoted to the young players who he thought had a chance, and very ambitious for them to be the best in the world.

Everybody respected him as a coach and he was really invested in England to do well and put a lot of time and energy into his profession – his best, he gave to England.”

Matthew Syed added this tribute: “Jia was a superb coach and human being, full of wisdom and kindness. A rare man who combined supreme knowledge of table tennis with an even deeper knowledge of humanity. I’ll miss him very much.”

Joe Veselsky

The last living member of the committee that formed the Swaythling Club in 1967, Joe Veselsky died peacefully in a nursing home in Dublin, Ireland, on the morning of Saturday 3rd January. He was 107 years old.

Born in Trnava on Sunday 20th October 1918, a city located in western Slovakia, the very same month that the independence of Czechoslovakia was officially proclaimed, Joe was 20 years old when the country was invaded under the orders of Adolf Hitler. Both parents and brother were murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Father was the head doctor in a Tuberculosis hospital for children in the mountains, it was thought he might be spared by the Nazis, it was not to happen. Both father and mother were pushed into a cattle truck, his mother was 56 years old, father 58 years of age. Later when World War Two was over, Veselsky received news that his brother had been shot, falling into the grave he had been forced to dig.

Education a priority, in 1931 Veselsky joined the Jesuit Seminary, thus all his friends were Catholics; the Jesuit Seminary, the world’s largest male Catholic order.

Sport was important to Veselsky during his formative years, an era when table tennis was gaining momentum in Czechoslovakia; in particular, Bohumil Vańa and Vaclav Tereba were names to note.

Illustrious company, Veselsky reached number seven on the national rankings; significantly proving a most worthy foil for the player whose name became synonymous with the sport. He was Victor Barna’s doubles partner on several occasions.

Playing table tennis was a priority, but Veselsky needed to earn a living. In 1937 banks were seeking employees. He worked in a Foreign Exchange department, principally talking to customers; the fact he spoke three languages being a big advantage. It was in the bank in 1940 that he met Katarina, his future wife; she was a typist.

However, anti-semitism was looming, in 1939 anti-Jewish legislation was passed, in 1942 transportation started to Auschwitz. Veselsky joined the Resistance and survived the war in the Carpathian Mountains.

War over, in March 1945 Veselsky returned to

civilian life; just two months later, on Saturday 19th May, he married Katarina; they had two children, Peter and Kate; throughout she was her husband’s greatest supporter. She died in 2009.

Furthermore, Veselsky returned to table tennis, he captained the Czechoslovak national team, but life was not easy under the new political régime; they were forced to leave. They travelled to Switzerland via Hungary, where asylum was sought; the original intention being to settle in Australia.

Afternoon tea was part and parcel of every Worlds, almost as essential as the play itself; all the star players from around the world were drawn to Joe like a magnet. They all loved the decency in Joe.

The idea never came to fruition, a friend recommended Ireland, within two weeks the visa had been received, in August 1949 they arrived in the Emerald Isle.

A limited knowledge of English, Veselsky built up a successful jewelry business. Once the family was settled, he returned to table tennis, soon he became the non-playing captain of the

The cake says it all

Irish team, the players responded immediately to his leadership.

Tommy Caffrey, who played for Ireland over 140 times from the 1950s until the 1970s described Veselsky as “one of the rare breed”; his memories of those days vivid.

“Whether it was a Worlds or Europeans we al-

ways had to meet for afternoon tea, my first introduction to Danish pastries was at the World Championships in Dortmund in 1959”, recalled Caffrey. “Afternoon tea was part and parcel of every Worlds, almost as essential as the play itself; all the star players from around the world were drawn to Joe like a magnet. They all loved the decency in Joe.”

The Irish Table Tennis Association named him “Ambassador of the Century” in 2018 to coincide with his 100th birthday, Veselsky having been President from 1982 to 1986 and then Life President.

Furthermore, in 2021 he received the prestigious Commander of the Slovak Order of the White Double Cross award, the accolade acknowledging his outstanding achievement in sport and contribution to the development and

maintenance of diplomatic relations between Slovakia and Ireland.

Not content with these accolades, Veselsky returned to university following his wife’s death. He became Trinity College Dublin’s oldest student. In 2016, he was awarded an honorary Master of Arts degree.

Additionally in his honour the Irish Table Tennis Association instituted the “Veselsky Award”, the winner in 2016 being Joe Hickey, former Secretary of the Irish Table Tennis Association, Chair of the Board and President from 2011 to 2015; throughout he valued greatly the advice given by Veselsky.

A remarkable man, a remarkable life, one surely from which we all can learn; a man of great dignity and integrity, Rest in peace.

Many Happy Returns for Zhu Yuling

Appearing once again on international duty, only this time in the colours of Macao and not China, it was a case of many happy returns for Zhu Yuling.

One day after her 31st birthday, on Sunday 11th January, she won the women’s singles title at the WTT Champions Doha, seven days later in the same city she prevailed in the Star Contender tournament.

Perhaps owing to her recent absence from the international scene and thus disappearing from the world rankings, the success gained was somewhat unexpected.

Conversely, in the men’s singles, matters were more in line with current status. Chinese Taipei’s Lin Yun-Ju won Champions title, China’s Zhou Qihao, the Contender.

Success for China, it was the same at the Singapore Smash,

Wang Chuqin beat Lin Yun-Jun to clinch men’s singles gold, for the umpteenth time Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu met in a women’s singles final, Sun Yingsha prevailing.

Meanwhile in Chongqing, life was rather different for China, runners up spot was the outcome. Frenchman Felix Lebrun beat Wen Ruibo to secure the men’s singles top prize, in the women’s singles final, Japan’s Miwa Harimoto accounted for Kuai Man.

Disappointment for Wen Ruibo but there was success; later, he won the men’s singles at the WTT Contender Muscat.

Titles secured but in terms of collecting gold, in the first three months of the year Japan’s Yuka Kaneyoshi headed the list. At WTT Feeder events she won the women’s singles titles in Düsseldorf and Varazdin, in the latter adding the women’s doubles alongside compatriot Misuza Takeya.

A series of outstanding performances, the player to attract the attention at WTT Youth tournaments in the first months of the year was Japan’s Mika Matsushima.

In early January she claimed under 19 girls’ singles gold in Vadodara, one week later in Linz she repeated her win, adding the under 17 crown. Victorious in Linz, in Tunisia, at the Contender tournament she won the under 17 girls’ singles; immedi ately following in the same city at the Youth Star Contender she secured both under 19 and under 17 top prizes. Continued good form, at the Singapore Youth Smash, it was under 15 girls’ success.

Impressive, it was the same from Uganda’s Joseph Sebatindira. Competing in under 13 boys’ singles, he was the runner up in Doha, beaten by Malaysia’s Koh Wei Yeow, before recording wins in Vila Real, Berlin and Havirov.

In a similar vein, Satya As pathi from the United States reached the under 19 and under 17 girls’ singles finals in

Buenos Aires and Asuncion. Three wins, just one errant title, she was beaten by Brazil’s Beatrix Flore in the Asuncion under 19 final. Similarly, colleague Allen Mao impressed. He won both the under 11 and under 13 boys’ singles in Houston, before in the former emerging successful in Humacao.

Likewise for the American continent Puerto Rico’s Enrique Rios stood tall. He won the under 17 boys’ singles in Asuncion and Houston, the under 19 title in

Adding to Asian success, Korea Republic’s Lee Suengsoo won the under 19 boys’ singles at the Doha Youth Contender, the under 15 boys’ singles at the ensuing Youth Star Contender and at the Singapore Youth Smash.

Equally imposing, China’s Jiang Yiyi donned the under 17 girls’ singles crown in Wladyslawowo, then repeated the succes in Berlin as well as adding the under 19 top prize. Meanwhile, Chinese Taipei’s Wu YingSyuan clinched the under 19 girls’ singles titles in Bahrain and Houston, the under 17 at the Youth Contender Doha.

Macao the destination for star names, for those at either end of the age scale, Asuncion was the destination.

The Paraguayan city welcomed over 200 players for the ITTF-Americas Masters, a tournament that boasted events from 30 years to over 70 years of age. Later, at the other end of the age scale, the ITTF-Americas Under 11 and Under 13 Championships was staged; a gathering where one wonders if successsors to Hugo Calderano and Bruna Takahashi were unearthed.

Impressively, Brazil won 10 of the 14 titles on offers; the player to attract the attention being Luiza Fontanive; she completed a clean sweep of titles in the under 13 age group.

Overall 10 member associations competed: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela.

Perfect Start to New Year

Four tournaments on the calendar, four titles, an unblemished record, ever present, India’s Bhavina Patel made the perfect start to the year.

Competing in women’s singles class 4-5, at the end of February she won in Gold Coast, before in March succeeding in Wlayslawowo and Lignano. Soon after in class 3-5, she prevailed in Platja d’Aro; no-one could match the 39-year-old from Gujarat and one wonders if any player has ever started a year in such style.

where also he won men’s singles class 1. However, he was somewhat upstaged by Jang Yeongjin, in both destinations he won men’s singles class 3; additionally, he partnered Kang Oejeong to mixed doubles class 10 gold in Lignano, silver in Wlayslawowo.

Success for Yoon Jiyu and Jang Yeonjin in Wlayslawowo and Lignano; they were not alone. In men’s singles class 2, Frenchman Fabien Lamirault won on each occasion as did Brazil’s Paulo Fonseca in class 7 and Montenegro’s Filip Radovic in class 10.

Bhavina Patel won four consecutive titles RIGHT Maryna Lytovchenko enjoyed success in Wladyslawowo and in Lignano

Arguably, she even overshadowed Korea Republic’s Yoon Jiyu who com pleted a clean sweep in both Wladys lawowo and Lignano. In the former she won women’s singles class 2-3, in Lignano class 3; on both oc casions she partnered Moon Sunghye to women’s dou bles class 10 success and Kim Hyeonuk to the mixed doubles class 4 top prize.

Kim Hyeonuk was very much in the thick of the action. He partnered colleague Jang Yeongjin, to men’s doubles gold in Wladysla wowo, silver in Lignano, a city

Meanwhile, for the women, Finland’s Aino Tapola succeeded in class 1, Ukraine’s Maryna Lytovchenko in class 8. Furthermore, in Lignano, present in class 14, Lytovchenko was the women’s doubles and mixed doubles runner up, in the former parnering Antonina Khodzynskaya, in the latter Maksym Nikolenko.
