Fun Fact was released by our Olympic Committee on its site today. I had no idea about it as well.

 

 

It is exactly 50 years since last time a European player was in the W Singles World Championship Final, and believe it or not it was a Slovak player (under Czechoslovakia at that time obviously)

In 1973 at the Sarajevo World Champs Alica Grofová faced Chinese Hu Yulan in the W Singles Final, Who would have thought at that day that for the next half of Century it will be the last European appearance in this discipline Gold Medal Match at the WCh.

It has also been 30 years since a athlete representing a country other than made the final.
