Hi Naufal,
Thanks for the question. I did not go to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. I stopped playing Table Tennis after the Sydney 2000 Olympics and had a complete break for nearly 7 years. Now I play once or twice a week for enjoyment and am not training enough to consider attempting to qualify. Australia has a number of good players these days with William Henzell being our best. William had some brilliant results at the Olympics before finally losing to the number 25 in the world.
When I started playing again I thought it would be a great idea to have a website devoted to Table Tennis so I teamed up with Alois and this is the result. I hope you are enjoying it.

Hi Lukas,
Yes I did see Timo Boll. In fact I played doubles against him. I didn't really talk to him but he does seem like a nice person.
