Bragden Full Documentary WTTC Dortmund 1989 Waldner, Appelgren, Persson

[@ecke9635]

Förmodligen den bästa videon på KZbin.

[@formulapak]

I am a Chinese and I don't think it is good for the sport to be dominated by single country. Thanks for this great video & hope that Sweden TT team will be strong again!

[@natjes6017]

Sweden are strong again right now 😁😁😁

They looked at reality as it was, made the proper analysis, and then trained to get it. This is what most people wont do. They did it, and its one of the most insane gold medals in the history of sports, period. 1989, Sweden, table tennis. Impossible is possible.

[@shishir1969]

This is an amazing work of art. A piece of history. One of the finest sports documentaries ever. I cannot thank you enough Mr Tordas. Grateful.

[@MarioLuniAlva]

I was 13 years of age, as I watch this on german TV. 📺 I love playing Table Tennis and I worship Jan - Ove Waldner, the Greatest of all Times. This awesome victory against China 🏓 I will never forget. 🙂 It's great that Sweden has new talented Players like Truls Möregard, he is surely the Future of European Table Tennis...but noone will ever reach to the one and only, the living Legend of this amazing sport: Jan - Ove Waldner!

[@tommylarsson2025]

Watch up for the French brothers!!

[@glenngastonjonsson7954]

Amazing documentary. Love and respect to China for inviting these youngsters to improve within their system. As a Swede, I loved those years.

[@ExpatMoe]

"Sweden had 10 full-time ping pong players. China had 2 million". Lol

Den mest legendariska videon må jag säga blir fascinerad varje gång jag skådar denna! Mvh Phillê

[@ecke9635]

Sannerligen! Topp klass!

[@Monster-gr8on]

So many great players ended up in the same team was amazing and once in a lifetime

[@johanf9279]

Happened also in Tennis.

[@hangemhigh7069]

Det bästa sportminnet i hela mitt liv!👍❤🇸🇪

[@robinragnarsson9480]

Honestly, Chinese tabletennis should have big props for taking the swedish players under their wings and showing them and the coaches so much from how they train, live and breath table tennis. Without it we would never have seen any of this happening. Fantastic documentary!

[@filosofen]

Jag är fullständigt totalt ointresserad av sport, men den här dokunebtären var intressant och spännande. Rekommenderas varmt.

[@robertobarcelos4798]

Acompanhei esta geração de gênios. Parabéns...

[@ONEDEADLYVENOM]

That was such an inspiring story of overcoming a giant obstacle. Hats of to the Swedish team and team China. I admire the rivalry, except that foul serve by the then Chinese champ:-/ This should be made into a real movie

[@rogeraxarp2468]

Ståpäls varenda gång jag tittar på den här videon. Vilka fantastiska idrottare.

[@scottbaker-ScottyB]

In 1982 Largo Fl. I played Jonas Berner who had the best serves and backhand in Europe I had read. I learned the high toss serve from him and regluing TT rubber made huge advances in rubber performance which I did not get into. I used Yasaka Tornado rubber the best I thought at the time. Nice film documentary brings back memories. Thank you.

[@thomassjonnebring]

Thanks! Love from Sweden/ Scandinavia!

[@SuperHammaren]

Sweden could compete with China as we were fortunate to have at least 6 great players for a long time, dont forget Ulf Bengtsson & Carlsson + Erik Lind+Peter Karlsson +Tomas von Scheele. That rivalry sharped the three more famous ones (Waldner, Jorgen och Appelgren).

[@tommylarsson2025]

Thank you so much for this documentary! I loved every minute of it!

[@LeTDDswag]

Beautiful, that's a really inspiring story

Fantastic documentry!

[@EdenZq]

i still remember watching games between Swe and Chn around 1990 as a small kid. I really missed the SWE team at that time. Table tennis team matches will be of more fun if China has a real competitor.

Thank you for the translation.

Thanks for sharing!

[@christianwhite9583]

Watching Sweden finally break China domination in World Table Tennis is the reason I started playing TT. I remember in the late 80's watching training video of Waldner and Persson. I think it will be a benefit to China & Table Tennis to have another true competitor otherwise it will be as interesting as when Michael Shumacher kept winning in Ferrari- boring!

[@hokeekeng2166]

don't think it is Sweden break any domination but they after dictate the game for generations to come.

[@lars-eriklarsson395]

I still remember this day,when sweden won this final after a brilliant game

[@lockwyn]

Great documentary

[@Gammaskalle]

Körde vansinnigt mycket pingis som barn på dansbanan på Knarrholmen.. Brukade pracca mot en 76åring som va helt galet bra (Gunnar från 33:an ? :S). Lillebroshan och alla andra ungarna på ön med.. good times.

[@TheQuickest]

Would love to see this with full subtitles.

[@cloudsmiles1]

Let me know if there are some parts you want to be translated (I'm swedish)

[@Izraphel]

thanks so much for the first 40 minutes, but could you please make captions for the last 20 too? :(

[@danielsvensson3611]

Thid is the national sport of a billion people(!!!!!)...

[@kdgr]

Cool! A real TT historie.

[@titosarmiento8333]

Thanks for this wonderful video i were trying to find out for years to unravel from swedish team itself to solve the fast flat short pin close to the table game of the Chinese how the topspin both back fore gave headache to the Chinese.

[@TheChristiV]

CaptionTube can help you to assign subtitle. Thank you for the movie.

[@filipboholm6854]

This comment by Glen Östh 1:36 "Vi pratar om tio heltids spelare i Sverige, dom (China) har två miljoner" is not in the subtitles. It means "We talk about having 10 fulltime players in Sweden, they (China) have two million". Let that sink in...

[@gdounito]

name of song @ 52:37 anyone? its a fantastic melody

[@gunnarlarsson7885]

Då är man här och drömmer :-)

After Jiang lost to Appelgren the chinese team was severely demoralised, they were well softened.

[@DinoSvanhvit]

Mäktigt.👏

[@dinosourmekad]

For Sweden the match against S. Korea was more difficult. S. Korea had an olympic champion and olympic silver medalist in the sqaud.

"CC"

[@daydreameravani]

No subtitles? I really want to know what exactly happened about the controversial serving foul by Jiang Jialiang and what the Swedish players though about that?

There are subtitles: just click on "CC" in the bar at the bottom.

[@SuperHammaren]

I am sorry that the great match in 2000 by Waldner and Persson won again versus China is not even mentioned.

[@mhmisc65]

In a sense even surpassing the 1989 achievement.

[@ylong5697]

Because Sweden's victory in 1989 was systematic winning, I mean Sweden had most advanced technique in 1989, while their victory in 2000 was about personal strength.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

The 1989 victory was the beginning of the European TT era whereas in 2000 it was like the Twilight of the Gods.Sweden had only 1,5 top players(Waldner old and exhausted,Persson having a career revival after more than six years of struggling with injuries,Karlsson always injured) whereas in 1989 they had 3,5 top players. On top of that the European field looked bleak with the only top player since the Gatien/Primorac/Saive/Rosskopf generation being Samsonov who couldn't deliver after 1997.

[@SuperHammaren]

@@dickn.ormous1064 It is the first time ever that players who were defeated by a new generation players (Jiang et al long gone) came back and won against the even next generation (!). It shows how good Waldner/Persson were. The team that lost in 1995 won in 2000 with the same players(Sweden) but against a new generation better players (China), name one loss the be fair and mention the win as well should have been done in the documentary. That was my point. That Karlsson was less good is known, however still ETTC champ in singles 2000 and Waldner played well in the olympics the same year. It was Perssons show though.

[@nicklasandersson690]

Imo the win 2000 was a even bigger archivement😊

[@GABESZ881000]

Already in the introductory part, the statements are not true. Before the Swedes, the Hungarians conquered the Chinese. In 1979

[@jeffreygoines533]

Amazing docu !!!

Wow pretty engrossing. Would have been great to have had subtitles for the final 10min but great job anyway

"Försöker bara ignorera han och tar upp en banan och börjar käka lite grann..." 50:11

[@TheOlzee]

Ain't that the truth!! Although i really hope we can repeat this standard in the future and once again challenge the chinese.

[@yongdeng1813]

It will be decades before the swedish can recapture their past glory…nontheless, it was a great rivalry between china and sweden in those years.

[@carpetclimber4027]

The tournament leaders were so weak in 1989, game 4. So what that Jialiang was ranked #1? He should've been warned, then lost a set as penalty and the ejected and disqualified if he continued to refuse to play. Switching refs because Jialiang turned into a child was so wrong. If Jialiang wanted to bring shame to the sport and his country, that was his own choice.

[@maxskogh6289]

Kinda still same nowadays. Norwegians have too much say in skicross, Italians in F1, Canada in curling and so on and so on.

[@ylong5697]

The interesting point is Jiang's coach was the one who tried the stop him while the committee supported Jiang.
