Before speed, spin, and global arenas, there was this.⁠ ⁠ 1947 World Championships: Bohumil Vana vs Ferenc Sidó. The same game, but played a little differently.⁠ ⁠ In 1947, players competed with hardbats: simple wooden blades with short-pimpled rubber, where control, placement, and endurance mattered more than power.⁠ ⁠ As we celebrate 100 years of table tennis, this is where the story lives, in the rallies, the rhythm, and the roots of everything we see today.⁠ ⁠ #ITTF #100YearsOfTableTennis #T
