The 43-year-old world champion Timo Boll and his German team were eliminated from the men’s final eight at the Paris Olympics, and he has made it clear that this will be his last international tournament.<\/p>

According to the news released by the Chinese table tennis team, Timo boll has signed the \u2018WTT<\/a> withdrawal agreement\u2019, which means that he will clear his own points next week (15 August), completely lost the world ranking, for which many fans, although expressed reluctance, but still send their blessings to him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Born in 1981, timo boll was the leader of the European table tennis world, in the long more than twenty years of time many times won the World Championships and the European Championships gold medals, and Chinese table tennis team several generations of the main confrontation and many times won, before and after the defeat of the Chinese team as many as fifteen world champions, once made Liu Guoliang lamented: I can’t sleep well with him.<\/p>

However, with the growth of age, Timo boll’s status is gradually declining, this year, although the seventh Olympic qualification, but unfortunately fell into the singles, and ultimately, with teammates to stop men’s group eight, no chance to reach the podium again.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As early as before the start of the Paris Olympics, Timo Boll has already announced that he will withdraw from the international arena after this war, and after the end of the competition, he also immediately put this decision into practice, and then signed the \u2018WTT withdrawal agreement\u2019.<\/p>

It is customary for players to remain in the world rankings for a long period of time (about a year) even after retirement, and there have been many similar cases in the past. But Timo Boll has already made up his mind not to participate in international competitions anymore, so he doesn’t intend to stay on the world ranking list for too long, which shows that he is really determined to go.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Although Timo Boll will no longer participate in international tournaments, from what has been revealed before, he may still play in European leagues (Bundesliga, Champions League) for a period of time – of course, he may just retain his status as a player, and may not necessarily take to the court to participate in the tournaments, just as the veteran Belarusian World Champion Samsonov did in the past.<\/p>

Besides Timo Boll, Chinese Taipei world champion veteran Zhuang Zhiyuan, who is the same age as Timo Boll, has also revealed his intention to leave the court after the Olympics: there is no such thing as a banquet, and no one can fight against the laws of nature, so let’s just wish everyone good luck in their own way in the future!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
