Probably one of the greatest table tennis sensation ever!

When the tournament Safir International, with players from 31 countries, was played last weekend the Japanese Yasaka player Tomokazu Harimoto made a sensational appearance.

In the men’s single Harimoto reached the final, after defeating eight men players. Among those he defeated was Omar Assar (current African Champion and World ranking no. 43), Jens Lundqvist (several times Swedish Champion, World ranking no. 66) and Takuya Jin (recently no. 2 in the Japanese Championships).

Why such a sensation? Everything is very simple. Harimoto is only 11 years old, born June 27, 2003.
