Another year, another unforgettable adventure at Snowking’s Winter Festival! This year’s event was filled with epic Table Tennis matches and laughter-filled moments, making every second a blast. We can’t wait for next year!
The festival brought together over 50 school kids and Table Tennis friends from all over the world, including participants from China, Japan, and Europe. It was a true celebration of the sport and community!
One of the most heartwarming stories came from a family visiting from Hungary. After reading about the Table Tennis activities at the ice castle, they decided to shift their travel plans to ensure they could join us. It’s amazing how the universe works in funny ways sometimes!
Team NT athlete Kathleen was a standout, sharing her tips and tricks with participants, playing rallies, and showcasing her incredible skills. Her enthusiasm and expertise inspired everyone involved.
Thank you to everyone who made this event a success! We look forward to creating more memories next year!
