World Cadet Challenge, October 2007, Cape Town,
South Africa
Refreshing Performance
One of the most refreshing performances so far in the history of the ITTF
World Cadet Challenge belonged to a young girl from California, USA.
When young Lily Zhang - only ten years old - received the fair play and
friendship award from the host association, she personified more than ever the
passion that we all feel for this event.
Lily also kudos from Glenn Tepper (former
Australian top player and coach, now ITTF development director):

Lily Zhang of USA, barely visible over the end of the table, won a healthy share
of her matches, and with 4 World Cadet Challenges remaining gives North America
some reason for optimism
