He died Friday after a brief illness at the age of ninety in the hospital in Amstelveen The Netherlands. Cor DU BUY has had a special role in the development of (inter)national table tennis. President of NTTB Ronald KRAMER: “Cor DU BUY was a cheerful person full of anecdotes and stories. We have lost a great guy table tennis player businessman but above all a charming personality. “ Dutch female player of the twentieth century Bettine VRIESEKOOP: ” We have lost a remarkable pioneer with an infectious joy for life.” In 1937 at the age of sixteen Cor DU BUY won his first Dutch Championships. He won his ninth and final Dutch title in 1955. He also won 13 national titles in the doubles and was the record holder of the NTTB Cup with 15 titles. Throughout his career Cor DU BUY played 92 games for the national Dutch team. In 1963 and 1964 he was a successful coach of the Dutch men’s team. As Cor DU BUY was nearly unbeatable early in his career the war time interuption is likely to have prevented his record from being even more impressive. DU BUY played many demonstration games and introduced his own sport gear. He sold table tennis tables bats and balls. Adham SHARARA president of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) presented Cor DU BUY with the prestigious Merit Award for his contribution to the development of world table tennis at the opening ceremony of the World Table Tennis Championships in Rotterdam. In June 2011 Cor DU BUY was assigned the title of “Bondsridder” the The Netherlands Table Tennis Association highest honor.

It will be too much to hope that two players will withdraw from Super Cup but I am happy with the possibility to be there. Speaking about Top-12 it will be my first one and I am very pleased with that ” explained TOKIC. However TOKIC is not very happy. “Now the day after the World rankings are released I feel much better but yesterday I was angry. I gained only 47 points for 11 victories and place in the semi final at the INTERSPORT European Championships. I beat APOLONIA MONTEIRO PISTEJ DRINKHALL PITCHFORD KEINATH in Team’s Event and KUCHUK ELOI PROKOPCOV HE ZHI Wen and OVTCHAROV in singles. The coefficient for pro tour is 1.5 and for European is 1.0 for win and 2.0 for defeat like at the Olympics. It is unfair ” said TOKIC. (EWC)
