Swaythling Cup and Jan-Ave Waldner Became the New World Champion IEditorial Four "gems" to remember • • • ENGLISH table tennis players, administrators, fans will not easily forget this campaign now drawing to a close. It was the season when we entered the Olympic Games in Seoul, England finally bounced back into the Super Division of the European League, when Sweden slayed the Chinese dragon, (at least in the men's game) by winning the Swaythling Cup and Jan-ave Waldner became the new world champion. A year ago we failed to win promotion again and then found that Hungary were a new barrier. As it happened, Belgium and Austria were the two nations we had to beat and this we did principally by the strength of our two young men Alan Cooke and Carl Prean. Both have had a season they can lookback on with pride - Alan captured the Commonwealth title in Cardiff and it was Carl who raised his game in Dortmund in the memorable match with Waldner when he reached 19-19 in all four games against the exquisite talent of the man who two days later, became the new champion of the world. Don Parker summed it all up in Dortmund when he said, "We are now in all the competitions amongst the top nations including the new men's world team cup as we finished ninth here in Germany. I am more than pleased with the group of teenagers now bidding for a place in the England squad headed by Michael O'Driscoll, Bradley Billington and Matthew Syed. They demonstrated in Cardiff that they are improving all the time. Win of the year for the women's squad was by Alison Gordon over Olga Nemes, the European Top-12 champion" he said. Over 200 British fans in Dortmund personally witnessed how well the sport is supported there - thousands there - hundreds here; the roar of the German crowd - polite clapping or even silence here, at least, most of the time. Leadership challenge still receding As the magnificent sponsorship by the Leeds Permanent Building Society continues to expand into the Women's British League, John Prean remains the undisputed chairman of the ETTA. The prospect of any serious challenge to his leadership seems to have receded even further into the background. Political upheavals as we have seen over the past three years might sell newspapers but they do not help the sport in the long run. Looking ahead I see three objectives, although there are other targets as well ... first to establish ourselves as a power that could win the Super Division rather than survive, secondly to reach the final of the team event at the European Championships in Gothenburg and to improve communications by getting even more publicity on television and in the newspapers and to produce a professional magazine. As "Table Tennis News" went to press, it became known that the ETTA have decided that next season this magazine will be edited by the staff at Hastings ... to which I can only add my best wishes!

After all, I was the guy who let his racket do the talking. I was the guy who kept his eyes on the prize, leading a very dedicated, disciplined, almost monkish existence in my quest to accumulate Grand Slam titles. And I was the guy who guarded his private life and successfully avoided controversy and drama, both in my career and personal life. But as I settled into life as a former player, I had a lot of time to reflect on where I’d been and what I’d done, and the way the story of my career might impact people. For starters, I realized that what I did in tennis probably would be a point of interest and curiosity to my family.
