The international networking of the Werner Schlager Academy extends to wider and wider circles around the world. In February alone, representatives from 21 nations were guests at the WSA in Schwechat.
In 2011, to prepare for the World Championships in Rotterdam, China's National table tennis team trained at the Werner Schlager Academy. As they were very impressed by the experience, they are returning to the WSA to get ready for the 2012 World Team Championships in Dortmund (25th March to 1st April).
Since preparing at the Werner Schlager Academy for the Individual World Championships in Rotterdam in May, 2011, the Chinese National Team has done well.
Impressively, they captured all the titles and dominated at the Worlds.
The first full year of operations at the Werner Schlager Academy has now been completed. We can now, through the recently released new ITTF World Rankings, more readily understand the impact the Academy has had on the sport.
