I call this one "JO Waldner’s Last Dance". It was at the Athens 2004 Olympics, in the quarter-finals, where he beat Ma Lin, who was then the ITTF world #1 table tennis player. It was an impressive win that defied all expectations. I always wonder how a prime Jan-Ove Waldner would fare against the current style of play and today’s young table tennis players.

edgartimoho,

JO Waldner play against Ryu Seung-min in the semi-finals where he lost. Ryu Seung-min won gold medal in  Athens 2004 Olympics.
