Michel Haguenauer
Michel Haguenauer (born January 22, 1916 ; † 2000 ) was a French table tennis player . He was runner-up with the team in 1948 and doubles in 1954.
Haguenauer won a total of 22 titles at the French national championships , eight times in singles (1933-1938, 1949, 1950), nine times in doubles and five times in mixed. In 1960 he was French team champion with RC France. Between 1933 and 1959 he took part in world championships 17 times . The most successful were winning silver medals in 1948 with the French team and in 1954 in doubles with Victor Barna . As early as 1939 he had reached the double semifinals together with Raoul Bedoc. In total, Haguenauer was nominated about 200 times for the national team.
Haguenauer caused a sensation at the 1936 World Cup when he played seven and a half hours in the fifth set against the Romanian Vasile Goldberger-Marin. Finally, the game was canceled when the score was 5: 3 for Goldberger and a coin tossed decided in favor of the Romanian. Because of this mammoth match and the encounter between Aloizy Ehrlich and Farkas Paneth (see Aloizy Ehrlich # Legendary Ball Exchange ), the time game was introduced in 1937 .
During the Second World War , Haguenauer was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned in Fort Montluc prison in Lyon.
In 1971 he was awarded the Knight's Cross for the French National Order of Merit .
