Massimo Constantini likely to come back as head coach of Indian Table Tennis team

Constantini, an ex-Italian International player, is a leading candidate to become the head coach of the Indian Table Tennis contingent. Incidentally, he coached the Indian team for about a year and a half until late 2010, when he moved to train students of Rajul Sheth's ICC at Milpitas California.

India's latest coach, Leszek Kucharski was discontinued, due to issues as per rumors.

The Secretary General of TTFI, the national body, informed media that he has sought Sharath Kamal's opinion and also informed Sports Authority of India.

Constantini's salary will be approximately $ 6000 per month. His earlier stints were with the Italian Men's team and also players in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Bill Gates puts Ariel Hsing in the limelight!

Tech genius, Bill Gates, indirectly made sure that the world media's attention was firmly focused on Ping Pong player Ariel Hsing of the USA. Bill follows Table Tennis along with his close pal, Warren Buffet.

Ariel advanced to the round of 32 after beating Silva Yadira of Mexico 4-0 and then upsetting Ni Xialian of Luxemburg. Xialian is a former world champion, now a veteran. The win was quite unexpected. The biggest achievement for Ariel was troubling the no. 2 seed, Li Xiaoxia even though she eventually lost 2-4. Ariel won a lot of hearts and in particular Bill Gates' heart, who was thoroughly impressed with her performance.

Ariel plays at the ICC in Milpitas under the watchful eyes of Rajul Sheth.
