WSA-player Simon Pfeffer continues to climb the ITTF World Rankings following his strong results in the European Youth Championships in Kazan (especially in the team competition), with the latest gains coming in the August rankings list.

Simon Pfeffer, who has been training at the Werner Schlager Academy in Schwechat since the summer of 2010 pushed up another 55 places and is now number 669 in the world.  Thus, since the beginning of July 2010, he has improved by a staggering 619 positions, from an initial ranking of 1288.

Next year, in July 2012, he will, along with WSA-collegues Stefan Leitgeb, Nicole Galitschitsch and Melanie Luginger, be in the Austrian selection for the European Youth Championships to be held at the WSA in the Multiversum in Schwechat.
