The Werner Schlager Academy
in Schwechat wrote again a little piece of history.
For the first time in the history
of the sport - at
the Serbia Youth
and Student Open in Vrnjacka Banja - a team
started under the name of WSA.
The WSA quasi
as a nation. The world-training center in the heart of Europe as a world
team of the future?
In cooperation with the ITTF, the
WSA players Andrea
Clapa (Romania), Prachi
Jha (USA) and
Tamolwan Khetkuen (Thailand / SVS STRÖCK) and Christopher Wheeler (Scotland), Tomas
Polansky (Czech Republic) and Kanak Jha (USA) called for
the team competition of the students.
Before the tournament a training camp
under the leadership of the WSA-Star trainers
Tamara Boros (former world No. 2) and Aya
Umemura (previously number
11 in the world) was organized in the
WSA. The care in Serbia took over Tamara Boros. And with great success:
The girls' team won
at his very first appearance in the WSA Dress the
tournament (3-1 in the final
against Russia) and the boys team secured
silver.
With the installation of this high-caliber junior teams
the Werner Schlager Academy and
the ITTF set a next milestone in their long-standing cooperation.
