Benedek Márton Oláh (born March 29, 1991 in Kalajoki ) is a Finnish table tennis player .
Career
Benedek Oláh started playing table tennis in 2000 and joined the Finnish national team in 2006. This year he took part in the World Cup for the first time at the age of 15 and has been represented at every World Cup since then (as of 2016). Since 2008 he has won over 15 titles in Finnish championships in singles, doubles and mixed.
In April 2016, he beat several favorite players in the qualifying tournament for the 2016 Olympic Games - including Andrej Gaćina , who was more than 100 places above him in 19th place - and as a result improved his world rankings by more than 50 places. As a result, he moved up to 74th place in May and thus for the first time into the top 100 in the world (more than 400 places behind the second-best Finn) and qualified as the first Finnish table tennis player ever successfully for the Olympic Games, in which he was Chen Feng from Singapore and then knocked out against the Dane Jonathan Groth . In May, he was also the first Finn to win a World Tour tournament, the Nigeria Open . At the European Championships in 2016 he surprisingly reached the quarter-finals in individual singles, in which he was defeated by Timo Boll , and was also in the mixed with Georgina Póta in the last eight. From the 2017/18 season he will play for the French first division club Jura Morez TT.
