Hello to everyone,

I am a new member and I thought this would be a nice introduction.

I ve been searching very long for this very rare video where my two favourite TT players compete at their very best (and I mean the VERY best).

This was the SEMI-final of the ITTF Volkswagen Pro Tour Grand Finals 2004. and I can promise that this match is worth downloading (you will witness a few shots you have never seen before)

About the quality: It is the CCTV5 version with chinese commentary, size is 274 MB, the beginnig is missing (it starts at 6:5 for Boll in the first set), video is not superb (but you can see the ball very clear), audio is excellent (you can hear every stroke, but the audio stream is a little delayed - 0.2 sec)

At last I want to tell you how I obtained the video. I couldn t find it in any of the TT forums, there was a torrent with the video (but it wasn t active). So I had to use the google translate tool to translate BOLL vs MA... into chinese and then I used this translation to search for the match. I found a chinese website where the match was streamed on demand and then I had to rip it (took me ca. 2h) and later I did upload it to Megaupload (took me ca. 5h). I am not complaining. I just wanted to show you how much effort was required and you woudn t wanna miss this Table Tennis treasure.

By the way, I am not a premium member on Megaupload, so this link will be active at least 90 days after the last download. If anybody wants to create another download mirror - go ahead

P.S. Did I forget something? Nothing important, just a little thing.
