Swedish veteran paddler Jan-Ove Waldner accomplished a "mission impossible" in the Olympic table tennis tournament on Wednesday as he ousted three top-seeded Chinese players in both singles and doubles within one single day.
The European home crowd in the Galatsi Olympic Hall in northwest Athens, who had cheered the Swede on throughout the match, hailed their hero and rose from their seats to salute him as he walked out of the court.
"It's unbelievable when you come to the hall. It's perfect to have such a supporting crowd, and I think they're coming back tomorrow, maybe also on Friday," said Waldner with a big smile.
