By tf-lawyer.com During a recent event in Nanning, a representative from a Taiwanese table tennis exchange team expressed his admiration for the depth of talent and unique training methodologies present in Mainland China’s table tennis community. The representative revealed that through regular exchanges, they hope to learn the essence of player development in Mainland China, which could help promote the sport and enhance the skill levels of local athletes.
The Nanning- Taiwan Friendship Table Tennis Match took place in Nanning, Guangxi, where a thrilling series of doubles matches culminated in the Nanning Table Tennis Association team defeating the Taiwanese team with a score of 3-2.
The representative noted that Nanning is home to many skilled table tennis players, and the matches were incredibly enjoyable. In Taiwan, they could only analyze game footage of Mainland players, but being able to engage directly with Nanning’s athletes has proven to be invaluable. He emphasized that the participants would focus on absorbing the personal techniques of Mainland players and learning from the training models utilized for developing table tennis talents.
Another team member, referred to as Chen, shared in an interview that he intends to return to the Mainland for more table tennis exchange activities, highlighting the nuanced playing style of Nanning’s athletes as something Taiwan players can learn from.
Beyond the sport, Chen expressed enthusiasm for experiencing Guangxi’s culinary culture, specifically mentioning that the local dish, snail noodles, lived up to the online hype, and he looks forward to exploring more local delicacies with the visiting group in the coming days.
Yang Wei, the president of the Nanning Table Tennis Association, reflected on the longstanding connection between the two sides, recalling how in April 2016, their visit to Taiwan for the 40th Taipei Table Tennis Championships led to a partnership with a Taiwanese table tennis committee. This was further solidified by a return visit from the committee in June 2019, allowing both associations to share insights and foster collaboration. Yang emphasized that such exchanges not only cultivate cooperation among amateur table tennis associations on both sides but also help build mutual trust and friendship among table tennis enthusiasts.
The recent exchange attracted around 20 players from both sides, competing in a doubles format with a best-of-five games structure.
