China's training camps help table tennis players from Europe tap their potential

As 14-year-old table tennis player Aaron Sahr from the Luxembourg national youth team was practicing, Chinese Olympic gold medalist Yan Sen watched closely and offered his advice.

The table tennis training camp, which concluded on Sunday in the Luxembourg National Sports Institute compound, was the 26th held by the China Table Tennis College Europe, or CTTC-E. It has drawn some 2,000 players and coaches from around the world since its establishment a decade ago.

"The Chinese are helping very much," said Sahr, adding that many of his problems have been fixed through the training camps.

"My dream is to represent Luxembourg and Luxembourg will win many medals."
