My sport idol
I love football, but since I
am professionally engaged in table tennis my idol is Timo Boll.Timo was born on 8 March 1981 in the small town of Erbach in Germany. Started playing table tennis at age 4 under the guidance of his father.
Boll began to show high results at the world level in the Junior age. In 2000 (19 age) at the European Championships in Bremen Boll won the silver medal in the German national team.
In 2007 in Belgrade, in 2008 in Saint Petersburg, in 2010 in Ostrava Boll became the absolute European champion — he won in both singles and doubles, as well as in a team. In 2009, in Stuttgart, Boll failed to win only in singles. Thus, 4 Championships in 2007-2010 Timo has won 11 gold medals out of 12, and 1 bronze.
