So I just had a brief chat with many times Caribbean womens
champion Rheann Chung (Trinidad & Tobago) who plays professionally in
France about her game and stuff which I’m sharing with you guys.
Petermoo:
What team do you play for in France?
Rheann: I play full time for a team called Poitiers, which
is not far from Bordeaux where I live.
Petermoo:
Who is your equipment sponsor?
RC: I use all Cornilleau equipment, blades rubbers
everything.
Petermoo:
What is your biggest table tennis victory to date?
RC: I actually beat a chinese player Zhing Zhin Hua recently
(forgive me if I didn’t get the name right)
Petermoo:
Other than me, who is your favourite player now to watch?
RC: Oh my god! That has to be Zhang Zhike!
Petermoo:
What do you think is holding back the level in the
Caribbean?
RC: People need to train more often, they cant just start
training a few weeks before tournaments. It’s a lot of things.
Petermoo:
The womens level in Jamaica now is pretty low, are there any
Jamaican girls that you think might have the potential to become good players.
RC: For sure, Theres one Ashley Alexander who has the
physical capabilities. She told me she even plays football, but she needs to
train more.
It’s a bit late to get to a high level though.
Petermoo:
What is your favourite place in the world to visit.
RC: That would surely be Jamaica
Petermoo:
Who is your favourite athlete in the world
RC: Ato Bolden, he put Trinidad on the map! I always wanted
to meet him, I like how he has grown in his career to become a journalist.
Petermoo:
What is your favourite food?
RC: Doubles, Roti any Trinidad stuff.
Petermoo:
Thanks a lot for your time.
RC: Anytime , you’re welcome!
