World Table Tennis Championships Begin In London
The German national table tennis team is competing for silver or bronze medals in a tournament featuring a new format. Head coach Jörg Rosko stated the team aims to secure medals for both the men's and women's squads. The women's team includes 33-year-old Sabine Winter, while the men's team features Dank Tew, Patrick Franziska, Dimitri Ofcharov, and Benedikt Duda. Sports director Richard Brause of the German Table Tennis Federation (DTTB) expressed dissatisfaction with the new tournament mode that devalues world rankings. The German teams failed to secure medals at the previous World Team Championships, exiting in the quarterfinals. The report by Johann Galvitz covers the start of the tournament.
