Recently, there is good news in the table tennis world - according to the German coach Roskov, the 40-year-old world champion veteran Pol has slowly come out of adversity and is now starting a new training.
Prior to this, Ball had contracted the new crown virus at the end of last year, and after recovering at the beginning of this year, he continued to hang up the exemption card due to abdominal injuries and missed a series of leagues. But obviously, none of the above problems have brought down the famous player who once stood tall in the table tennis world, and in the new season of 2022, he will set sail again!
Born in 1981, Pol is an old opponent of national table tennis for more than 20 years, as early as 2002, he won the men's singles championship in the World Cup, which was a major event that shocked the table tennis world at that time.
In the 2017 Men's World Cup, Bohr eliminated lin gaoyuan and Ma Long, the only two participants in national table tennis. Until 2021, he can still win the gold medal in the singles at the European Championships, which is indeed a veritable "evergreen".
But like all athletes, Ball's career has been associated with injuries. In his decades of career, he has given up participating in the World Table Tennis Championships twice and withdrawn from the world table tennis championships twice due to physical reasons.
At the 2021 Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Bohr went out with an injury and eliminated the national table tennis player Zhou Qihao and others to reach the final four, but unfortunately was reversed by the 19-year-old Swedish teenager Moregard and once again failed to qualify for the final. It didn't take long for him to be diagnosed with the new crown, and then he was quarantined for many days before he "got out", but he was still plagued by old injuries and could not return to the field for a long time.
Despite all these difficulties, Ball remained firm at the ping-pong table with no sign of retiring. Before the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, he made it clear that his career would continue for some time. Judging from the performance of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Pol is fully capable of fighting for another three years or so, and insisting until the 2024 Paris Olympic Games!
Although he is the opponent of national table tennis and one of Liu Guoliang's most feared athletes of the foreign association, Pol is also our good friend, his character and balls are respected, and he is a veritable "gentleman of table tennis". Here's wishing him an early recovery of health, and welcoming him to continue to challenge the Chinese team and let everyone stage more wonderful duels together: Come on!
