World Table Tennis Championships
The dust has now settled and it is time to reflect on a hectic week in Zagreb at the Liebherr World Championships, a week that saw table tennis of the highest order, a week dominated by China and a week that ended with one man now deserving a place amongst the most revered in the history of table tennis.
Wang Liqin, by winning the Men’s Singles crown for a third time, surely can now be considered amongst the greats of table tennis.
In the past he has experienced defeats during his career and those defeats have hit the headlines but hasn’t that happened to every great sporting personality and isn’t that just what the media desires; the very best to lose?
