Why did you preferred table tennis
Before my accident I play table tennis, soccer, volleyball. After, only table tennis was possible. First I lose against the player's of my old table tennis club (standing players) but after 4 month playing table tennis in the wheelchair, I win sometimes one set. I practice and practice till I win the whole match.

I will never forget the Paralympic's in Sydney. It was the best and greatest tournament I ever played. The aussies are very friendly to everybody. I think it's not easy for the Greece in Athen 2004 to organize the next paralympic's as well as the Aussies 2000 in Sydney
