So...is the IOC going to have to run the Table Tennis tournament as well?

 

These IFs need to get it together.

Nice video, though they should have left that last part out.

 

There is nothing commendable in uniting teams mid-tournament.

Despite the quite horrible, but horrible effort in the final against the young German pair, Balážová/Pištej achieved history becoming the new European vice-champions in Mixed Doubles. They equalled their silver medal from 2013 (which was at separate Mixed Doubles ECH at that time).

 

Silver is huge, How often you see winning medals in Table Tennis at continental Championship (only our 3rd medal in the whole history 0 - 2 - 1, both Silvers are from Balážová/Pištej 2013 & now 2021 and Bronze from Popova/Truksa also in XD in 1994)

They made history because they are slovaks, right? or is it something special about that silver?

yes, my bad. sometimes when writing here I forget to translate the shotcuts from Slovak to English, as in this case, MD = Miešané Dvojice (Mixed pairs aka Mixed Doubles)
