(by: Edgardo Vazquez)

On December 7, 2023, I had the privilege of attending the ITTF MIX TEAM World Cup in Chengdu, China, where I witnessed an exciting showdown between France and the host country, China.

From the moment I entered the venue, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation and excitement. The stands vibrated with the energy of the fans, creating a unique atmosphere of international camaraderie.
The confrontation between France and China promised an exciting spectacle, and it did not disappoint. Players exhibited an impressive level of technical skill, unleashing intense rallies and well-executed tactical strategies.

The Chinese team, playing at home, received passionate support from the crowd, creating an emotional backdrop that added intensity to the game. France, for its part, demonstrated exceptional skill, challenging the host team at every point.

The interplay of playing styles, ball speed and table skill created a visually captivating spectacle. The exchange of exciting points kept the audience on the edge of their seats, appreciating the mastery of these elite athletes.

In addition to the sporting aspect, the event provided a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich culture of table tennis in China. The hospitality of the hosts and the diversity of the audience contributed to an enriching experience.

In retrospect, December 7, 2023 will remain etched in my memory as a day when the passion for table tennis manifested itself at its best. It was an honor to witness the talent of the players and immerse myself in the vibrant atmosphere of the ITTF MIX TEAM World Cup in Chengdu, China.
