Jan-Ove Waldner (born October 3, 1965 in Stockholm ) is a former Swedish table tennis professional . He was twice world champion (1989 and 1997), once European champion (1996) and once Olympic champion (1992) in singles . He also won the Swedish championship ten times. He is considered one of the best players of all time in the history of table tennis and was under contract with TTC Rhön-Sprudel Fulda-Maberzell in the Bundesliga until 2012 . From 2018 Waldner plays for the Oldenburg TB in the regional league.
Material and style of play
Waldner first played Banda Coppa on a Banda offensive blade. After Banda was taken over by DONIC , he played a rubber specially developed for him that bore his name. This has been adapted several times to the current development of the floor covering and given additions such as platinum or platinum X1. In terms of wood, he switched to a carbon wood of his name. His playing style, which is extremely geared towards tactics and technique, earned him the nickname "Mozart of table tennis". His feeling for the ball and his speed changes are legendary. He mastered both the very hard hits and the waiting all-round game.
Career
When Waldner was five years old, his parents discovered his talent for table tennis. They promoted him and his older brother Kjell-Åke (born August 17, 1963; from 1996 coach of the Swedish women's national team). When he was 6 years old, he played for a club for the first time. At the age of 9, he became the youngest Swedish champion in his age group. While he was also talented for tennis and soccer, he now focused on table tennis. After graduating from school, he turned professional at the age of 15. A year later he won his first Porsche in a tournament (note: he still does not have a driver's license).
Waldner was among the absolute best in the world. He won numerous medals at the Olympic Games, World and European Championships. In 1992 he was Olympic champion in Barcelona against Jean-Philippe Gatien . In 2000 in Sydney he made it to the final again, but lost to Kong Linghui . At the World Championships in 1989 he was first world champion against Jörgen Persson . In 1997 he repeated the triumph and remained without a set loss throughout the tournament. He was vice world champion twice (1987 against Jiang Jialiang and 1991 against Jörgen Persson). With the Swedish team he won four gold medals at world championships and four silver medals. At European Championships he won gold once in singles, three times gold in doubles, 7 times gold with the Swedish team, twice silver in singles and once silver in the team.
In 1992 he was honored with the Svenska Dagbladet gold medal.
Between 1980 and 2002 he played 269 games for the Swedish national team. He won 220 games and lost 49 games. His success rate is almost 82 percent. A foot injury in 2002 forced him to take a 14-month hiatus. Despite his age of 37 years he found his way back to the top of the world.
Because of his talent and his elegant style of play, he was also called the Mozart of table tennis . He was characterized in particular by variable serves, very well placed setbacks, game overview and ball security. Other strengths are his stroke variations and unexpected changes in tempo with forehand and backhand. In 2001 the book "Secrets of a TT Genius" was written about Waldner.
At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Waldner celebrated a highly regarded comeback and, by advancing to the semi-finals, demonstrated once again that even at the age of 38 he was still able to stand up to the Chinese table tennis supremacy. His victories against Timo Boll , the best German table tennis player, and against Ma Lin , one of the best Chinese, were remarkable . On February 11, 2016, Waldner ended his active career as a competitive athlete. Most recently he played for Spårvägens BTK in the Swedish table tennis league. From 2018 Waldner plays for the Oldenburg TB in the regional league.
Numerous products, such as wood and, for the first time, even coverings, bore his name. Waldner also competes in numerous exhibition matches against other well-known table tennis players. At the end of 2004 Waldner opened his own restaurant called "W" in Beijing.

philately
On March 14, 1985, the Swedish Post issued a postage stamp on which Jan-Ove Waldner is depicted ( Michel catalog no. 1326). This postage stamp was issued on the occasion of the 1985 World Table Tennis Championships in Gothenburg.
On September 27, 2013, for the first time ever, a foreigner was honored with a postage stamp in the People's Republic of China, Jan-Ove Waldner. The stamp was issued in two editions (one Swedish and one Chinese) at the same time and sold 3,000,000 copies on the first day in China alone.
The other stamp in this joint issue of Sweden and the People's Republic of China shows the Chinese table tennis player Deng Yaping . The two stamps were sold by the Swedish Post, in a stamp block as an overprint, with a face value of two times SEK 6. The two Chinese postage stamps were printed in counter sheets of 16 postage stamps each and a divider. There were also first day cancellations with table tennis motifs from Stockholm and Beijing.
