OOAK Table Tennis Forum

Came across this on another forum



Pensioners from across the planet compete in the over-80s World Table Tennis Championships in Inner Mongolia.

8 players with 703 years between them guide us through the extraordinary world of veteran sports including Australian legend Dorothy de Low who at 99 years old creates a sensation as the oldest competitor at the Championships. Terry (81) having been given a week to live, not only recovers, but gets in sight of winning gold and Inge (89) has used table tennis to train her way out of dementia.

Ping Pong is a funny and emotional film about people who might be old, but still want gold. From the outset the film challenges perceptions of what it is to grow old. With humour and sensitivity it engages with the issues we all face in an ageing global population.

Directed and Produced by Hugh and Anson Hartford.

An amazing insight into the dedication and determination that can inspire anyone .........................
