Matilda Ekholm is a player well known for her passion, her scrappy left handed battles in rallies, and her exceptional feeling for the ball. While many know her as a multiple-time European Championships medalist, and now the Director of Coaching at PingPod in the USA, not everyone knows the hurdles she overcame in her impressive career.
In this podcast we take a trip down memory lane to talk about one of the most controversial topics in table tennis - rejection to perform at the highest pinnacle of all sports.
Twice in Beijing 2008 and London 2012, Ekholm qualified to represent her country, but on both occasions her LOC denied her the right to participate due to their secondary criteria.
This podcast certainly hosts some common ground between Ekholm and host Matt Hetherington, who hails from New Zealand where the same standards are enforced and nobody has represented the nation since 2004 in Athens.
