Recently, the former rival of national table tennis Sweden's famous Perlson ushered in the 56th birthday, his life has participated in 7 Olympic Games, is the men's table tennis is the evergreen tree, Perlson and Waldner joined hands to create the Swedish dynasty, the last time to win the world championship or the 2000 World Table Tennis Championships, Perlson Liank Kong Linghui and Liu Guoliang, one person scored 2 points, preventing the national table tennis team from winning the World Championships men's team 3 consecutive championships. Now Person is in charge of the Swedish men's table tennis coach, training young players such as Carlberg and Moregård, and trying to recreate the former glory of the Swedish men's team.
Person began to represent the Swedish men's team at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, until the 2012 London Olympic Games, experienced 7 Olympic Games across the century, it is a pity that he has never won a medal in so many Olympic Games, 2000 Sydney Olympic Games Perlson reached the men's singles final four for the first time, but unfortunately lost to Kong Linghui and Liu Guoliang to relegate to 4th place, in 2008 Perlson once again reached the men's singles semifinals, or lost to Wang Hao and Wang Liqin and then won the 4th place.
Person's most brilliant year was in 1991, he won the men's singles championship at the Chiba World Championships, and then won the men's singles championship in the World Cup that year, and became the men's singles champion of the Barcelona Olympic Games for a time, but unfortunately, the men's singles champion of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games was still won by teammate Waldner, and achieved the great slam, becoming the first Grand Slam winner in history.
At the end of his career, Person still beat the Chinese men's table tennis and wrote a legendary victory scene. In 2000, at the age of 34, Person appeared for the Swedish men's team at the World Team Championships with Waldner, the first time the ITTF had separated the team from the individual event. As the No. 1 seed of the men's team of the World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese men's team reached the final and had a smooth ride, the final was against the old rival Sweden, Liu Guoliang lost to Waldner in the first game, breaking the previous unbeaten record, Kong Linghui then unexpectedly lost to Person 0-2, the Chinese team fell into the danger of falling behind by a score of 0-2 and hanging on the line, although Liu Guozheng won 2-0 in the third game, Kong Linghui also won Waldner 2-0, seeing that the Chinese team was about to reverse the decline, However, Perlson defeated Grand Slam winner Liu Guoliang 2-1 in the decider to win the World Championship team championship for Sweden, which was also the first time that the men's national table tennis team lost the men's team championship since the new century.
Person is now the head coach of the Swedish men's team, in order to recreate yesterday's brilliant efforts, the Swedish men's team won the only championship from the national table tennis players at the Houston World Table Tennis Championships last year, the men's doubles Falke / Carlsson won consecutive wins Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan / Liang Jingkun, Lin Zhongxun / Zhang Yuzhen successfully won the gold, and the 20-year-old Moregard defeated Pol to win the men's singles runner-up of the World Table Tennis Championships, plus the strength of the Carlberg, the Swedish men's team is expected to challenge the German men's team in Europe. The supremacy of the European men's team may change under the leadership of Persson, but it is still far from recreating the glory of the Waldner era and crossing the national table tennis level!
