The Hungarians attached like they never attacked again in 1979. As even the coaching staff of China admitted, their players were afraid and weak mentally. By 1979, Jonyer's loop was a thing of beauty-fast powerful and spinny-big arm action . . . Where did you get these clips?. .

I don't know what's happened with Hungarian Table Tennis Gergely,Jonyer & Klampar were the best on the world 70s -82 than disappeared from world rankings.I grew up in Budapest till i was 18 and remember the world championships everyone was glued to the TV or Radios.Plus there was good youth systems all over Hungary,I guess after the Commies fell there was no money for ping pong.Also Zoltan Berczik was 1 of the best coaches world wide
