  • Domarrapport German Open 2020-01
    RESERAPPORT Tävling 2020 ITTF World Tour Platinum, German Open GETEC Arena i Magdeburg, 28/1-2/2 2020. Domare: Rebecca Bergfeldt (Eskilstuna) Klasser: Dam- och Herrsingel (bäst av 7 set), Dam-, herr- och mixeddubbel (bäst av 5 set). Knock-out matcher från början till slut. Resa Reste dag före tävlingsstart med bil (pga inställt tåg) från Eskilstuna till Arlanda för flyg till Berlin där det sedan fortsatte med tåg till Magdeburg via ett byte i Potsdam. Samma tur för hemresan. Det fungerade smidigt om än en smula tidskrävande. Som en av de på förhand uttagna finaldomarna hade jag flyg- och tågbiljett bokad och betald av arrangören. Egen utgift blev med andra ord endast bilresa och långtidsparkering. Ditresa: Start klockan 06, framme 15. Hemresa: Start klocan 08, framme kl 16:30 Inkvartering InterCityHotel i centrala Magdeburg. Logistiskt perfekt läge precis vid järnvägsstationen. Hotellet var helt i sin ordning och alla domare bodde här medan spelarna bodde på det större och till synes pampigare Maritim. Jag var i alla fall nöjd med vårt boende. Eftersom vi endast var två kvinnliga finaldomare var det föga förvånade att Irina Semizorova från Ryssland blev min rumskamrat. Det var första gången vi möttes, men det fungerade utmärkt. I det första utskicket till oss domare hade det varit möjligt att namnge rumskamrat om man hade särskilda önskemål. Måltider Frukostbuffé serverades på hotellet och var av god klass. Lunch- och middagsbuffé serverades på spelarhotellet och höll måttet med flera varmrätter, salladsbuffé, bröd och dessertbord samt vatten eller måltidsdryck och kaffe vid varje tillfälle. För att erhålla lunch scannades ackrediteringskortet.

    Media Notes: Tuesday 27th July Day Three Highlights: Monday 26th July Mixed Doubles: Medal Matches Jun Mizutani and Mima Ito (JPN) defied the odds to win mixed doubles gold; the no.2 seeds, they recovered from two games to nil to beat Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen (CHN), the top seeds and hot favourites (5-11, 7-11, 11-8, 11-9, 11-9, 6-11, 11-6). Notably, in the seventh game, they raced into an 8-0 lead. It is the first-ever gold medal won by Japan in the table tennis events at the Olympic Games. Jun Mizutani and Mima Ito had lost all three previous meetings when facing Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen. In 2019 on the ITTF World Tour, they lost in Sweden and at the Grand Finals in China.

Lin Yun-Ju and Cheng I-Ching (TPE), the no.3 seeds, claimed bronze; they beat Emmanuel Lebesson and Yuan Jia Nan (FRA), the no.8 seeds (11-8, 11-7, 11-8, 11-5).

Bojan Tokic (SLO), the no.40 seed, now 40 years old, raised the eyebrows. He overcame 25- year-old Tomislav Pucar (CRO), the no.23 seed (11-9, 11-8, 11-9, 12-10) Men’s Singles: Round Three Experience counted as Timo Boll (GER), the no.8 seed, who is competing in his sixth consecutive Olympic Games, beat Kirill Gerassimenko (KAZ), the no.30 seed (7-11, 11-6, 11-7, 11-2, 11-1).

Auf Grund des Corona-Virus muss die Meisterschaft 2019/2020 abgebrochen werden. Ungewisse Aussichten für den Indoorsport (Turn- und Sporthallenbenützung, Abstandsregel, Balldesinfek- tion, Mundschutz, Risikopersonen, gemeinsames Autofahren, Umkleideräume, Duschen usw.) lassen keinen weiteren Meisterschaftsbetrieb zu. Es wurde eine möglichst gerechte Abgleichung der Tabellen zwischen Letztstand (ca. 50% vom Frühjahr ge- spielt) und Herbst erarbeitet. Eine Erklärung ist am Anfang der Tabellen dabei. Etwaige Auf- oder Abstiegsplätze zu markieren hat noch wenig Sinn, weil die Entscheidung der Bundesliga und des ÖTTV für etwaige Aufsteiger in die 2. Bundesliga noch nicht gefallen ist. Endtabellen nach Abbruch - Seite 6 und 7 Sehr geehrte Vereinsvertreter! Die Jahreshauptversammlung wurde auf Grund der Corona-Krise auf un- bestimmte Zeit verschoben.
