Six European players at the Chengdu Youth Training Camp

Since December 6th the Chengdu National Key Table Tennis Training School has been the epicenter of an extraordinary event – the prestigious Global Youth Training Camp a collaboration between the ITTF High Performance and the Chinese Table Tennis Association lasting until December 18th.

This exceptional gathering has brought together six European players: Portugal’s Tiago ABIODUN Austria’s Julian RZIHAUSCHEK Slovakia’s Damian FLORO France’s Nina GUO ZHENG Spain’s Maria BERZOSA and Portugal’s Julia LEAL. They worked under the mentorship of head coaches Zoltan BATORFI and Anamaria SEBE from the European Table Tennis Union.

The camp is particularly special as it sees the finest U15 players many fresh from the ITTF World Youth Championships in Nova Gorica Slovenia join forces with thirty exceptional talents from China. With a contingent of up to 80 players and their coaches the camp provides a platform for mentorship and guidance from Elite Coach Massimo COSTANTINI further elevating the learning experience. The participants not only engage in rigorous training sessions but also witness thrilling matches at the ITTF Mixed Team World Cup at the Sichuan Gymnasium adding an extra layer of excitement to their development journey.
