      My bad, Möregårdh beat World #3 Hugo Calderano from Brazil in the semi, he beat Wang already in the round of 32 last week.

      Calderano is 28, which sounds more normal to me.

      Mikael Appelgren and Jan-Owe Waldner were world players almost into their 40s, but looking them up now, I see they started taking international medals already before their 20s. I never realized they went for that long. The inspiration from those two basically made Sweden the ping pong nation it is today.
