TAFELTENNISDEMONSTRATIE OLYMPISCH KAMPIOENEN GRUBBA EN HALDAN <br><i>TABLE TENNIS DEMONSTRATION BY OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS </i>

In de tafeltennishal in Kardinge zit de tribune maandagmiddag vol met tafeltennissers en tafeltennisliefhebbers. Reden is een demonstratie van de top-tafeltennissers Andrzej Grubba uit Polen en Paul Haldan uit Nederland.Grubba neemt het niet zo nauw met de regels wat leidt tot grote hilariteit onder het publiek. Hij slaat het balletje vanachter zijn rug of tussen zijn benen door en probeert op allerlei manieren Haldan van de wijs te brengen. Om toch nog genoeg punten te halen springt de laatste regelmatig op de tafel om de bal terug te kunnen slaan. Paul verliest desondanks.The stands at the table tennis hall in Kardige were full Monday night. Table tennis players and fans were all gathered to watch top sportsmen Adrzej Grubba from Poland and Paul Haldan from the Netherlands. Grubba was not taking the rules too serious, which lead to great laughs from the audience. He was hitting the ball from behind his back or from between his legs, anything to throw Haldan off. Haldan, in turn, was jumping on the table to score sore some points, but he lost inspite of his efforts. The audience was very attentive and quiet when Paul Haldan and the German Stefan Kusters played a doubles match against Andrzel Grubba and Pavel Nikorzewski. The Polish were the definite champions.
