Among them are four Olympic champions from China: Ding Ning and Ma Long, both gold medalists in singles and with the team, as well as their teammates Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin. Zhu Yuling, world number one, and Fan Zhendong, also winner of the World Cup.
A better ground than a world cup
"A symbolic result better than any World Cup, it's amazing," Friedinger said. "We are waiting for the best players from five continents," said Mathias Neuwirth, ÖTTV general secretary and director of the Austrian Open.
For the Austrians so strong at the European Championships, it will be difficult. Particular attention is however paid to the double European Champion Robert Gardos / Daniel Habesohn, the triple medalist at the European Championship Sofia Polcanova and his mixed money partner Stefan Fegerl. The mixed competition will be played in Linz for the first time of the Platinum Tour. The question is from the Austrian point of view, the arrival of Liu Jia due to acute injury become an old injury to the shoulder.
