Wonderful video that you have put together about my idol and favorite player ever since I picked up the racket in my youth days! I've got the awesome opportunity to see and meet him at the Super Cup 2010 in Germany. An incredible talent, kind dude and inspiration to everyone! He shows that it's not titles, ranks and statistics that define a great player. His influence is among us, even to the people who don't realize it. Goat. Waldi forever!❤🏓
5 min in voice says: "This victory was particularly sweet since it came after a series of challenging matches vs some of the finest players in the World." Truth, he won every single set in that World championship. No one had done it before and for sure now with sets to 11 no one will do it after. A journalist asked him directly after it if Waldner could describe his level of skill. Waldner answered without any sign of smile at all on his face "99% pure talent, 1% hard work." Which of course was 100% humour and a joke but this is his kind of humour being raised in the ironic generation. In later inverviews he has said that he probably trained more than any one and that Mikael Appelgren for example was more talented.
The new skyrocketing rising analogous sport of PICKLEBALL is reminding that : The current table tennis version of heavyweight 2.7gram balls is full range stupid. Must immediately, as soon as possible, apply new lightweight balls of 2gram or 2.5gram balls. Heavyweight balls fly too fast because air resistence can not effective slow down them. Too difficult to control heavyweight balls, and extreme difficult to catch fast heavyweight table tennis balls. It is the reason of why almost all table tennis beginers leave out teble tennis or do not want to try playing table tennis. Need atleast few years of training for beginers in order to play amateur table tennis games of heavyweight 2.7gram balls. IT IS THE ALL-TIME HUMAN HISTORY MOST STUPID CONDITION OF SPORT TODAY IN THE AGE OF BUSY LIFE. Who will pay few years of training to reach level of playing basic amateur table tennis games ? Look at the new skyrocketing rising sport PICKLEBALL : the Pickleball federation setup very logical scientific standard for pickleball balls : the pickleball balls have very reasonable very lightweight (in the context of distances in pickleball sport), pickleball balls even have holes in ball outer surface to decrease ball weight. All of them lead to the to result : the lightweight pickleball balls fly in air with ENOUGH SLOW SPEED, so that in the distances in pickleball sport, players have enough time to react to apply techniques and tactics and get funs. And because players can succeed to react, Pickleball is very easy for beginers quickly to play basic amateur games to get funs even without any training. Players must succeed to react to balls speed. It is the first condition for sport to be human sport. I see that in many societies today, there are even more commercial PICKLEBALL CLUBS than table tennis clubs. Everyone can easily quickly play amateur pickleball games for funs and communications. While it requires few years of training for beginers to play amateur table tennis games. It is obviously quite clearly stupid in table tennis. It affects table tennis equipment manufacturers (less new beginers, less markets), spectators (waste time to watch so much offgame time of picking up table tennis balls). The most reason : STUPID HEAVY WEIGHT OF CURRENT TABLE TENNIS BALLS. So if the international table tennis can not quickly come to consensus of applying new lightweight (2-2.5gram balls) table tennis balls, then TABLE TENNIS SPORT MUST GIVE UP MORE THEIR ROOM TO PICKLEBALL SPORT IN OLYMPICS, in order to regard audience by stopping wasting time of table tennis audience in bored table tennis matches with much offgame time of going picking up balls and less ongame time of playing table tennis. The Olympics must slash more room of table tennis sport, to give more room to pickleball sport in Olympics programs, if the international table tennis society can not quickly reach to consensus of applying new lightweight 2-2.5gram table tennis balls
