Jörgen Persson

Jörgen Persson, also Men’s Singles World Champion, European Singles Champion, Top 12 Winner, World Cup Winner – and a great sympathetic personality in table tennis.

At the age of 41 Jörgen took for the sixth time part at the Olympic Games in Beijing and fought for the only title that was still missing from his collection: an Olympic Medal. With matchless stamina he played round after round and was the only European player who achieved the semi-final in the men’s single.
