Zhang Yining (#1 in the world) As of August 2008, she is ranked #1 in the ITTF rankings, in both women's singles and women's doubles.[2] She has held the ITTF #1 ranking continuously since January 2003 and remains a dominant figure in women's table tennis. With 4 Olympic gold medals, 9 World Championships, and 4 World Cup wins, she is considered to be one of the most successful female table tennis players in history. Zhang is a graduate from Beijing Shichahai Sports School, where Li Jiawei of Singapore studied as well.

Wang Hao (#1 in the world) Wang uses a pen hold grip. He is representative of a new wave of penhold players, having good attacking and defensive skills off both wings. The greater freedom of the wrist involved in a penhold grip allows Wang Hao to generate large amounts of spin. As a result he has more angles at his disposal and is capable of high percentage attacking play well within the table. His reverse-sided backhand is a standout stroke because he does not need to step around it to finish a point, something that was pioneered by former champion Liu Guoliang, but largely unknown before Wang's domination. This allows him to make good shots from the backhand side. His forehand is a driving ball that forces opponents behind the table. Though not considered the best in the world, Wang's forehand is a solid and heavy ball.

Portland State Table Tennis Club in the news with the Winter 2009 Vanguard article On the table
PSU table tennis vies for a spot at Nationals, hosts the Northwest Division meetDoug CornettVanguard StaffPublished: Tuesday, February 17, 2009Updated: Tuesday, February 17, 2009From the hallway outside of the small gym on Saturday afternoon, I can hear emphatic grunts, stomping sneakers and the rhythmic pocks of a dozen or more ping pong balls. This is a rare sound in the United States, where ping pong is viewed as a recreational game to be played in basements on lazy Sunday afternoons. But in many European and Asian countries, ping pong, or table tennis, is regarded as a serious sport, and its athletes are held in the same high esteem that we hold our professional basketball, football and baseball players in the United States........Read on by clicking on link above Posted on Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 12:30PM by Admin |
PSU Table Tennis Club is featured in the Fall 2007 Vanguard Article Ping-pong team serves up diversity
PSU Table Tennis Club's diverse members take the sport, and winning, seriouslyTalmage GarnPublished: Thursday, October 11, 2007Updated: Monday, July 14, 2008Table tennis is uncommon in America, where you are more likely to find televised rock, paper, scissors tournaments than a game of ping-pong. But, if the rapid sounds of balls hitting paddles in the basement of the Peter W. Stott Center is any indication, Portland State's table tennis club takes its craft very seriously. Despite a lack of American presence, table tennis is the second most popular sport in the world. It is not surprising, then, that PSU's team is made up of mostly international students. The team is also talented-they took first in the Northwest Region last year before going on to place nineteenth in the National Collegiate Table Tennis Association tournament. Nine players of nine different nationalities represented PSU in that tournament, with players hailing from Burma, Turkey, the United States, Nepal and Japan....Read on Posted on Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 12:30PM by Admin |
