Table Tennis with an Olympic Player

[@Pongfinity]

Hope you will find it interesting and insightful to learn how an Olympic table tennis player practices! Unfortunately, Benedek just missed a spot in this year's Games, but huge thanks to him for joining in on this video! 🙏 Go give Benedek a follow on Instagram: instagram.com/olahbenedek/ 🙌

Benedek is back.

[@ayubyassin6694]

Hi

[@parthacharya42069]

This is why benedek is a 9 time finnish champion. The guy is cracked!

[@-danR]

I remember his footwork was not so good 3 years ago, but now it looks more graceful. He will also have to watch his diet because his upper-body mass is already a bit too unbalanced for his legs. Then I think he can reach the top-50 soon.

[@sebu1301]

It's actually a crazy achievement to come from Seinäjoki, Finland, where no table tennis is played, and go pro. That's like some Nigerian guy becoming olympic cross country skier. His backhand is actually one of the best in the whole world.

[@Max-yp1iw]

@@sebu1301 hahahahaha that analogy

[@goku445]

@@-danR Exactly, it shows he is not fast enough for wide shots. Impressive skills tho.

[@leob4403]

@@sebu1301 speaking of Nigeria, Quadri Aruna is ranked 19 in the world, there's probably less table tennis in Nigeria compared to Finland I would guess

Yeah I didn’t know he actually moved while playing seriously! My trainer said he went to the same school as Mikka and he saw Otto compete. He said that Otto moved even less on competitions 😂

[@jordanfan8222]

Basically Otto and Miikka are not so crap. They should spend less time making vids.

[@omelette8079]

@@shaneetsaha1176 You do realize that there are a lot more, and i mean A LOT MORE table tennis players in the world, right? So getting that rank is no easy feat.

[@shaneetsaha1176]

@@omelette8079 I know that. Even the cadet and under 18 rankings are filled with more than 5000 pros from every corner of the world. But Otto, Miikka and Emil have so much talent, if they give more time to actual practice for a pro tournament, then they can achieve so much...

[@rachitj3676]

Olypics Table Tennis is very intense, as the rallies are insane!

[@kuro7202]

I’m going to say this because no offense but it seems like you might be a little newer to table tennis? If you wanna see more exciting rallies check out Official ITTF. All the top players like ma long and fan Zheng Dong play in official ITTF tournaments and they do top 10 plays of each tournament which are a treat to watch. (Also Adam Boborow is amazing). Much like Olympic rallies.

[@markusmaier2325]

I love his effort and passion about high quality and intensive training. Very motivating 👌

[@m.alexandrecastro9323]

Impressive shot-quality guys !!! Olah, is insane ! His masterful handskill is unparalleled, the weight he can produce behind a counter is ridiculous, which makes his shot extremely powerful. Very impressive transfer of weight from BH to FH at high speed with great precision. He certainly deserves to be amongst the TOP 20 in my view, obviously he needs to keep his weight down considering his muscle mass and height to achieve this, that is all ! Unbelievable. I hope he comes to the Austrian Open so I can shake his hand and watch him play, what an honor that would be. Thanks for the video, people will take notes !! Otto - what can I say !?!.... "Colosal talent" (best description I could think of) To all Pongfinity guys : BRAVO !
