We strongly encourage all European Member Associations to unite in support of Ms. SÖRLING’s candidacy, ensuring the continued progress and implementation of impactful programs and reforms initiated under her esteemed leadership.
As the first ITTF president to become an International Olympic Committee member, Ms. SÖRLING’s visionary leadership has significantly strengthened table tennis, fostering growth, innovation, and inclusion across all levels of the sport.
Her exceptional commitment and unwavering dedication have earned the trust and support of the ETTU Executive Board, which fully endorses her continued presidency.
