Liu Jia stands by her word and Austria’s national table tennis team as a “noble joker” in the two qualifying games for the European Team Championship 2023 in Malmö against Serbia on Thursday and Friday (5 p.m. each time, ORF Sport+) in the Lissfeld sports park in Linz. “I just can’t say no,” said ex-European champion Liu Jia, who actually ended her career in April with her 22nd championship title in the service of Froschberg. “I’m so grateful for what this country has given me, so I want to show my appreciation,” said the 40-year-old six-time Olympian.
The team led by the reigning European champion Sofia Polcanova is clearly to be favored in the home game doubles, with two wins the EM fifth of 2021 could at least fix the second place in the group and buy a final round ticket. “As always, it will depend on Polcanova. We are also very happy that Liu Jia is supporting us in the EM mission,” said ÖTV sports director Stefan Fegerl. Karoline Mischek, Amelie Solja and Liu Yuan are also part of the ÖTTV team.
