Norwegian teenager Christopher Chen had no idea how he was releasing a Pandora's box when he optimist stalled his table tennis racquet in the depths.
The 15-year-old has become a viral sports star after this hoist instantly becomes the most impossible table tennis nail of the decade.
The rally has been attended by more than a million people worldwide since the Norwegian sports club Trondheim Bordtennisklubb originally released the clip of a second division weekend match in Trondheim.
Out of nowhere, a magic sporting moment is born.
Before 10-4 in the first set, Chen found himself at the back end of a series of powerful shots from his opponent before being forced to run desperately to the base of the table to recover a powerful shot.
After collapsing on the floor under the table, Chen suddenly raised the paddle while sitting on the deck.
His opponent, with all the ground to aim, sent his shot straight into Chen's paddle at the perfect angle and speed to allow the ping-pong ball to bounce perfectly on the other side of the table, almost out of reach of the stunned attacker.
The sliding range of his opponent for the diving ball then dropped to the side edge of half of Chen's table – tearing Chen's point.
The commentators of table tennis pointed out that the point would have been removed because the viral video shows him grabbing the surface of the table with his free hand.
The rules of table tennis prohibit players from touching the playing surface or net configuration with part of their hands before making a return.
However, the referee, the spectators and even the players on a neighboring ground have quickly rejected the small technical detail facing the pure magic.
It's something we will never see again.
"There was no doubt about luck," said Chen, according to the NRK of Norway.
"It's a once in a lifetime and I can not do it anymore.
"I'm 99% sure.
Although reports from around the world claimed that Chen had actually won the point, he confirmed to NRK that his opponent had earned the point.
Yet, after more than a million views, there are no losers here.
"I really did not think about it," he said.
"I lay under the table and I thought the ball was lost, so I just did something that I thought was fun." Incredibly, he hit my racket.
"I heard a lot of applause, then I realized that it was happening. It was crazy."
For the record, Chen has recovered to take the match three sets to like. But he won a lot more than a local amateur table tennis match.
