The German team is one of the biggest threats to China’s dominance. The World Championships start this coming Monday in Dusseldorf which is the city Ovtcharov currently calls home and the club Timo Boll currently plays for. Timo Boll has 6 European Men’s Singles titles which is the most in history and also has 3 Olympic medals. Dimitrij Ovtcharov has the most Olympic medals for a European table-tennis player in the Olympics with 4.
