Nikolov and Stanojkovski to represent North Macedonia at European Table Tennis Championship

Amelia Nikolov and Kristijan Stanojkovski will represent North Macedonia at the European Championship in Ljubljana, Slovenia, which will be held from 11 to 18 October.

The continental event will gather participants from 40 countries, where Nikolov and Stanojkovski will compete in both individual and team formats as part of their national delegation.

Preparations under a world champion

In the weeks leading up to the championship, both players are scheduled to take part in a training programme led by four-time world champion Shang Yining of China. The training is intended to sharpen their technical and tactical readiness ahead of the tournament.

For the two top Macedonian table tennis players this continental gathering offers a chance to measure themselves against Europe’s best and to gain experience on the big stage.

Federation officials say the participation is an important step in the development of the sport domestically and hope the preparations will translate into competitive matches in Ljubljana.
