Keeping the Dream Alive - Results from the World Final Olympic Qualification Tournament
Monday May 12, 2008
| The Final Table Tennis Olympic Qualification Tournament has concluded in Budapest, Hungary. Although the National Olympic Committees still have to confirm the entry of the players who qualified, 16 men and 17 women earned the right to compete in the 2008 Olympic Games. Included in the 16 men is Jean-Michel Saive of Belgium, who after just failing to automatically qualify on a count back from Sweden's Jorgen Persson, has now booked a place in his sixth Olympic Games!
The provisional list of teams qualified for the Olympic Team event has also been announced, with the USA winning a berth in the Women's Team event - and my own country, Australia, qualifying in both the Men's and Women's events - Go Aussie Go! |
