Dortmund Westfalenhallen is full and the great battles at the LIEBHERR World Teams Championships already started. However, the central event at the beginning of the World Championships was Butterfly Welcome Party. A massive number of guests included table tennis stars from all over the globe: Timo BOLL, ZHANG Jike, LIU Shiwen, Kalinikos KREANGA, Jun MIZUTANI and many others. The Russian group appeared almost in the full string, only the girls had to pass it because of the evening practice. It was really joyful, hectic and lively. There was a lot of movement around fun mini tables, where everyone from a professional player to a noble official showed their abilities.

Apart of fun, the participants did not forget about business. The main event of the party was a presentation of a new Sponsorship Agreement between Russian Table Tennis Federation and Tamasu, Butterfly, Japan. President of TTFR Victor BATOV and President of Tamusu Butterfly, Mr.YAMADA signed a 4-year agreement, which opens new perspectives in the mutual relationships.
