The intercontinental battle for Table Tennis (Ping Pong) domination is over. France, represented by Matthieu Thibaud, squared off against the USA, represented by Trigg Garner on Tuesday, September 2 2008. The battle may go down in the Sporting History Books with the likes of the World Cup or the Superbowl.
Matthieu took an early lead by winning game #1 with a combination of right hooks (yes it was that physical and Trigg has the black eye to prove it) and astonishing backhand slams. But the loss did not slow Trigg down as he brought out a forehand slam of his own to take game #2 by a narrow margin.
It all came down to the third and deciding game. Sweat was seen on each competitor’s face as the pour little ping pong ball got slammed time and time again. After all of the forehand crushes, backhand saves, spinning cut shots, and lengthy rallies were over, the USA came out on top to claim the first ever, Victoria Skimboards Table Tennis Singles title.
Next up for the people at Victoria Skimboards? Double Table Tennis! See you there.
