Norwegian Championship 2024: Christine KALVATN Clinches Gold and HM King’s Cup

The final event of this year’s Norwegian Table Tennis Championships in Lillehammer was the women’s singles match between Christine KALVATN from Fokus BTK and Martine TOFTAKER from B-72.

Here Christine and Martine battled for the coveted title and HM Kongens Trophy.

It was a closely contested and thrilling match which Christine won by the narrowest of margins securing victory in the seventh set with just two points difference.

The final scoreline read 4-3 (8-11 11-5 7-11 12-10 7-11 11-8 13-11). This is arguably one of the best Nationals women’s singles finals ever witnessed.

Aida Husic DAHLEN from Randesund IL/BTG and Anne Sophie KALVATN from Fokus BTK clinched bronze medals.

Borgar HAUG from Fornebu BTK and Khai Noah LAM from Fokus BTK showed exceptional table tennis skills in the men’s final this year.

Despite Borgar winning the match in four straight sets with set scores of 12-10 11-5 11-8 and 12-10 the competition was fierce. Borgar currently holds the number 1 ranking in Norway while Khai NOAH is listed at number 9.

Borgar currently plays for the first team of the renowned German club Borussia Düsseldorf which speaks volumes about the rising level of table tennis in Norway.

Geir ERLANDSEN from Fokus BTK and Istvan MOLDOVAN from Modum BTK won bronze medals.

Tommy URHAUG from Stord BTK Claims Gold and HM King’s Cup. In the para open class final Tommy faced his young and promising teammate Krizander MAGNUSSEN (17 years old).

Krizander started strong winning the first set 11-8. However Tommy turned the tables and clinched the next three sets with scores of 11-9 11-8 and 11-9.

Thus Tommy became the Norwegian champion in the para open category. This marks the first time that a para-athlete in table tennis has received the King’s Cup under the auspices of the Norwegian Table Tennis Association. Although Tommy has previously received four King’s Cups through the Norwegian Handikapforbund this achievement is significant.

Thomas SÆTRE from Bergen PIL and Aida Husic DAHLEN from Randesund BTK won bronze medals.
