Hey i am a professional table tennis player so i have less knowledge about other sports.
Yes Waldner and Ma lin greatest competition ever. I guess Jan Ove Walnder was better player, he is simply the best.
Even Chinese agree on that.They call him the Mozart of Table Tennis.

Well, my favourite sport is gymnastics so I think Olga Korbut and Nadia Comaneci are the greatest sports stars from that list. I think Nadia is better than Olga as she reached perfection in the 1976 Olympics and she was more consistent and more successful, winning major international medals from 1975 to 1981.
