From March 25 to April 1, 150 countries are competing in the World Team Championships in Dortmund, Germany.  The competition is fierce, but the US Team has shown a lot of potential this year and will be bringing one of the youngest and strongest collection of players in US table tennis history to the tables!We are particularly excited about this tournament as it is the first for the 2012 US Team and they are looking particularly stylish in their JOOLA gear!The US Women's Team has been competing in Group A of the Championship Division with tough matches against Romania (1-3), Belarus (1-3), Ukraine, Hungary, and China.  Although they're currently 0-2, the women have put up quite a fight with many close matches.  However, Lily Zhang (USA) has been the MVP so far for the team with two matches for the US.  The most impressive was a close five-gamer against Daniela Dodean of Romania (WR #47), while the second was a clean sweep against Alexandra Privalova of Belarus. Their next opponent is Hungary and we'll be following!In the men's competition, the US Men's Team is playing in Group J of the Third Division. Their group consists of teams from Lithuania, Ecuador, Qatar, Malaysia, and Montenegro.  The guys are 2-1 overall, with solid 3-0 wins against both Qatar and Malaysia, but a 2-3 heartbreaking loss against Ecuador.  They play Lithuania next, so be sure to cheer them on!GOOD LUCK, TEAM USA!--March 25, 2012: Sunday ResultsUS Men's Team vs Qatar (3-0)Michael Landers vs Nasser Waled Alhajjai (3-0): 5, 8, 9Adam Hugh vs Fahed Almughanne (3-1): 3, 10, -7, 4Barney Reed vs German Shemet (3-1): 4, -8, 7, 9US Men's Team vs Malaysia (3-0)Michael Landers vs Kian Beng Chai (3-1): 6,6,-7, 8Timothy Wang vs Muhd Shakirin (3-2): 6, -8, -5, 7, 8Adam Hugh vs Dunley Foo (3-0): 5, 5, 8US Women's Team vs Romania (1-3)Ariel Hsing vs Elizabeta Samara (0-3): -5, -7, -6Lily Zhang vs Daniela Dodean (3-2): -9, 8, -2, 6, 9Erica Wu vs Bernadette Szocs (0-3): -8, -4, -10Ariel Hsing vs Daniela Dodean (2-3): 7, -7, 9, -6, -13--March 26, 2012: Monday ResultsUS Men's Team vs Ecuador ( 2-3)Timothy Wang vs Alberto Mino (1-3): 9, -8,-5, -7Michael Landers vs Geovanny Coello (3-2): -6, 7, 5, -7, 7Adam Hugh vs Ivan Proano (3-1): 5, -9, 13, 11Michael Landers vs Alberto Mino (0-3): -6, -7, -5Timothy Wang vs Geovanny Coello ( 1-3): -8, 3, -7, -11US Women's Team vs Belarus (1-3)Ariel Hsing vs Viktoria Pavlovich (1-3): -12, 8, -8, -6Lily Zhang vs Alexandra Privalova (3-0): 9, 10, 13Judy Hugh vs Elena Dubkova (0-3): -7, -6, -4Lily Zhang vs Viktoria Pavlovich (0-3): -5, -10, -8--March 27, 2012: Tuesday Results US Men's Team vs Lithuania (1-3)Adam Hugh vs Alfredas Udra (1-3): -7,-6, 4, -7Michael Landers vs Tomas Mikutis (3-0): 9, 14, 10Barney Reed vs Kestutis vs Zeimys (1-3): 6,-7,-9,-9Adam Hugh vs Tomas Mikutis (2-3): 6,-8,7,-6,-7US Women's Team vs Ukraine (2-3)Jun Gao vs Ganna Gaponova ( 3-0 ): 6,7, 10Ariel Hsing vs Margaryta Pesotska ( 0-3 ): -4, -9, -10Erica Wu vs Tetyana Bilenko (0-3 ): -7, -8, -3Jun Gao vs Margaryta Pesotska (3-0): 6, 6, 4Ariel Hsing vs Ganna Gaponova ( 1-3): -9, -3, 2, -8—March 27, 2012: Wednesday ResultsUS Women's Team vs Hungary (0-3)Ariel Hsing vs Petra Lovas (0-3): -10, -5, -8Lily Zhang vs Georgina Pota (2-3): -9, -8, 9, 13, -6Judy Hugh vs Krisztina Toth (0-3):-10, -5, -5US Women's Team vs China (0-3):Ariel Hsing vs Guo Yan (0-3): -4, -8, -8Lily Zhang vs Guo Yue (0-3): -6, -4, -2Erica Wu vs Shiwen Liu (0-3): -1, -5, -3US Men's Team vs Montenegro (3-0):Timothy Wang vs Irfan Cekic (3-0): 6, 5, 6Michael Landers vs Luka Bakic (3-2): 5, 6, -8, -3, 8Adam Hugh vs Vladimir Djukic (3-0): 3, 10, 1--March 29, 2012: Thursday Results3rd Division Men's Team 2nd StageUS Men's Team vs Cyprus (3-0)Timothy Wang vs Yiangos Yiangou (3-0): 5,6,4Adam Hugh vs Marios Yiangou (3-1): 5, -9, 7, 7Michael Landers vs Hristo Hristonov (3-2): -6, -10, 5, 3, 13US Men's Team vs Dominican Republic (0-3)Adam Hugh vs Ju Lin (0-3): -8, -7, -7Timothy Wang vs Juan Vila Batista (0-3): -4, -4, -4Barney Reed vs Emil Santos (0-3): -12, -5, -4Champion Division Women's Team 2nd StageUS Women's Team vs Croatia (1-3):Jun Gao vs Tamara Boros (2-3): 9, 9, -3, -5, -7Lily Zhang vs Cornelia Molnar (0-3): -7, -6, -9Ariel Hsing vs Yuan Tian (3-1): 8, -8, 7, 13Lily Zhang vs Tamara Boros (1-3): -11, 8, -4, -8--March 30, 2012: Friday Results 3rd Division Men's Team 2nd StageUS Men's Team vs Thailand(3-0):Barney Reed vs Suriya Prasertsri (3-0): 5, 6, 8Timothy Wang vs Chaisit Chaitat (3-1): 9, 8, -3, 4Grant Li vs Tanapol Santiwattanatarm (3-2): 3, 6, -10, -6, 5Champion Division Women's Team 2nd StageUS Women's Team vs France (1-3):Ariel Hsing vs Alice Abbat (3-0): 7, 4, 2Lily Zhang vs Fang Xian Yi (1-3): -8, 10, -9, -9Judy Hugh vs Emmanuelle Lennon (0-3): -11, -6, -8Ariel Hsing vs Fang Xian Yi (1-3): -5, -4, -6--March 31, 2012: Saturday Results3rd Division Men's Team 2nd StageUS Men's Team vs Latvia (3-1):Grant Li vs Olegs Kartuzovs (3-2): -8, 2, 9, -8, 7Timothy Wang vsVladislavs Agurjanovs (3-2): 8, -8, 6, -5, 6Barney Reed vs Matiss Burgis (1-3): -8, -6, 7, -7Timothy Wang vs Olegs Kartuzovs (3-2): 6, -8, -6, 5, 5Champion Division Women's Team 2nd StageUS Women's Team vs Turkey (3-0):Lily Zhang vs Gokcenur Gungor (3-1): -7, 5, 3, 3Ariel Hsing vs Fulya Yildirim (3-0): 4, 12, 12Judy Hugh vs Ipek Karahan (3-1): 7, -6, 7, 3--Check out some photos from Diego Schaaf!
