Promoting Paralympians – Timo Boll Shows His Support in Exhibition

(by Steve Hopkins)

Timo Boll’s VLOG this week focused on his support of Germany’s Paralympic Players as they work to prepare for the Tokyo Paralympics later this year.  As a part of the video, he practices with Valentin Baus and Thomas Schmidberger, two of Germany’s top wheelchair players.  Boll, one of the World’s best able-bodied players learned some of the proper positions and techniques and then was summarily beaten by both players.
