The National Championship was dedicated to the memory of Damon DAMIANIDIS for many years curator of A.S. Pera Athens and member of the board of Hellenic Table Tennis Federation.

The big news is not that PAPAGEORGIOU raised his record. The news would be if he failed to win 1st place…The 36 year old champion set a very special record that may not appear in global scope! In last six years from 2010 to today he won all the finals without losing the game!!! Every year he meets a different opponent in the final has met experienced and young athletes but does not lose any set and has record 24-0! In addition to the six trophies in men’ s singles now has the record in the National Championship after five in a row that had belong Kostas PRIFTIS from 1982 to 1986.
