This is really amazing. Kalinikos is still fantastic. Honestly I did not expect him to play so well nowadays. I mean we have seen other players doing great in their fourties like for example Jörgen Persson, who is a legend. But for as I see it, a difference is that Kreangas game relies on being athletic very much. And I´m so impressed what Kreanga still can do on the offensive side. And also he adopts quite well to control and such things. So, anyways he will always be one of my favorites. Actually I have two favorite players. Kreanga and Waldner. Some call Waldner the Mozart of table tennis, I call Mozart the Waldner of composers. ;-) And Kreanga has left to us some of the most spectacular matches ever played. Keep it up and keep going as long as you please.

[@ShamanMap]

[@KhalilMGebara]

4:22-23 COOL sidespin

[@ShamanMap]

at 0:26 you got 7:3, and 1 second after, you see 6:6, wtf !!!!!

[@holdontolove0525]

Quel lion ce vieux hennebontais !

[@BInLaDenXT]

I think it's a pit, Kreanga won't do anything special in this tournment, whilst Kin Minseok had better chances against the chineses... what a shame

[@xyq384]

well fighted by kreanga but a little disaster for kim. he was a player, as future no 1 of korea, who maybe was one to compare with the top chinese players. now, losing agianst an ageing kreanga, the chinese probably don't really care about him any more, no danger...

[@GiorgosRem]

Greece!!!

[@090710tantan]

#2:26 O_o

[@BellaCinderella1997]

[@alexwilson6915]

[@itztabletennis]

KREANGAA THE BESTTT LEGENDDD !!

[@soidoitp]

This is their tournament . Not your tournament . You don't know what they feel when they win a match in WTTC. pls don't talk sh*t .

[@FrankGixx99Motovlog]

WOW...ITTF was improving now!! Great Work!!..Hope this will continue for the next matches

[@crjlang89]

kreanga is one of my favorite players!...but in my opinion you can see that his forhand is not strong enough for beating the best in the world...

[@josedavidquintero3828]

Growing up watching Kreanga since the 2003 WTTC. What a personality, what a warrior.

[@jurredenotter]

Did i saw it good kreanga with no coach at the ebd?

[@RyanDGreen1984]

[@jeycop5502]
