In Linz
14-year-old Viennese surprises at European Table Tennis Championships
Austria's table tennis players have started the home European Championships in Linz with successes. Two ÖTTV men and all four women, including 14-year-old Nina Skerbinz, each won twice in the first qualifying round on Tuesday and will play in the play-off on Wednesday for a place in the main round.
Karoline Mischek, Anastasia Sterner, Liu Yuan and Skerbinz secured one of the first two places in their four-player groups, which will earn them promotion. European Championship debutant Skerbinz defeated the much higher-rated Polish player Natalia Bogdanowicz and then Slovakia's Ema Labosova 3:1. The four Austrians will play for group victory on Wednesday morning and then into the play-off.
In the men's singles, 45-year-old veteran Robert Gardos and Andreas Levenko won their groups of three with ease and are also through to the qualifying final.
