23.01.2010 Men's final and 16.000 dollars went to Korea!
Men's final between 20-year old Korean Lee Sang Su and 11 years older Jens Lundqvist from Sweden was unexpected but deserved. Both players still weren't playing one with the other before, that is why expectations were mixed. Considerable difference is also on ITTF chart, where Korean is on 145. place, Swede on 49th, although in the year 2003 he was ... More
23.01.2010 Women's final won Pole of Chinese origin!
Women's final won Pole of Chinese origin Li Qian with 4:0!
Final at girls was less interesting because of too big difference between players. The Pole didn't give away on whole tournament more than one game to the cmpetitor and she was convincing also in the final. She started incredibly aggressively and otherwise excellent Hungarian couldn't follow ... More

Viktorija Pavlovič – Belarus
Sisters Veronika and Viktorija Pavlovič are well known to Slovene fanciers of table tennis. Years ago they were playing for Ilirija Kajuh, so that Slovenia is home to them. They also feel well in Velenje, but they excite us also with their plays. We interrupted one of the twins – Viktorija.

22.01.2010 Natalia Partyka moves boundaries of ability!
Natalia Partyka – Poland
She is probably the most interesting competitor in Velenje. In the first place maybe, because she is without a half of her right hand, which ia a big haddicap in table tennis. But she enhanced her skill to this degree, that she still throws the ball in the air somehow with right hand at serving. But her table tennis is ... More
22.01.2010 Rok Tošič managed only partial turnaround!
TODAY STILL MORE INTERESTING!
Although Slovene fanciers of table tennis remained deprived for appearances of Bojan Tokič, we can enjoy always more at devilish tricks of those, that are still in play. Tournament in Velenje is indeed interesting alsoafter this, that as many as eight holders fell out in the first round, but still several favourites are ... More
