Pongcast TV Episode 8 - 2012 Hungary Open


What a great tournament to start off the year!  There were plenty of big upsets and we manage to avoid another Ma Long vs Zhang Jike final (that should be a hint as to one of the upsets!).  But have no fear, the finals was still filled with suspense down to the end.  I also mention some celebrity and athlete connections to table tennis, and the spread of table tennis social clubs inspired by Spin!

Influx Datum - Back For More
Swedish House Mafia - Miami to Ibiza

Vitali Klitschko: Ping-Pong Keeps Me Strong


Current world heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko shares something most of us table tennis players already knew: it requires great reflexes!  In this article of the Daily Sun he says, "To help reflexes I work with catching ­table-tennis balls off a table and I enjoy playing ­ping-pong. I play every day and I like the game very much."  I wonder how hard he can hit though, maybe as hard as Ma Long?  ;)
