ITTF president praises Alamiyan

TEHRAN, Feb. 16 (MNA) -- The ITTF President Adham Sharara has paid tribute to Iranian table tennis prodigy Noshad Alamiyan for his good performance in the recent international events.

“I am very impressed with Noshad’s results. To be honest we already saw a great potential in Noshad the first time we saw him in international competitions at the junior level,” he said.

“But this year in Madrid at the World Junior Championships we were very impressed by his progress and his great skills. Now we can see that he continues to improve and that is a great success for him personally, for his coaches and of course for the Iranian Table Tennis Federation. In my opinion this is the time now for Noshad to make a great jump into the top senior international players,” Sharara stressed.

This will take a lot of training and a lot of competitive opportunities at the highest levels, the ITTF president added.

“The ITTF of course is ready to help and will always support such players to challenge the established elite in the world of table tennis. I wish Noshad all the best and hope that Iran and the Iranian TTF will continue to support him,” Sharara concluded.
