A 14-year-old is in the news. Harimoto Tomokazu has become the youngest player to win the Men’s Singles at the All Japan Table Tennis Championships. He beat 28-year-old Mizutani Jun, a 9-time champion and the winner of the bronze medal at the last Olympics. He also won the ITTF World Tour Men’s Singles title in the Czech Republic last August. That made him the youngest winner of a World Tour. Actually, Harimoto comes from a table tennis family. His father is a table tennis coach, and his mother played for China in the 1995 World Team Championships. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
