The Training Camp planned and designed in close partnership with the Chinese Table Tennis Association and the Shanghai Administration of Sports will feature outstanding training, in depth education and exciting new coaching ideas offered by two former top players and world champions ready to take centers stage – Jörgen Persson from Sweden and Wang Liqin from China. They will work the fl oor, hand in hand, alongside with other appointed top coaches.

The First come-First serve principle is in effect. The space is limited and priority boarding will be offered to already qualifi ed YOG athletes and/or members of the ITTF With the Future in Mind/Olympic Solidarity project.

We say “Thank You Chinese Table Tennis Association, Thank You Shanghai!” for the great partnership and the opportunities offered! To the world of aspiring Table Tennis Youth Olympians and their supporters, we say, short and sweet “Do NOT MISS!”
