2011 EUROPE-ASIA ALL STARS SERIES

February 23, 2011

The Chinese leg of the 2011 EUROPE-ASIA ALL STARS SERIES table tennis competition will be held in Beijing, China on March 1 and 2. Nikon will support this Chinese leg as an official sponsor.

Asia and Europe lead the world in this sport, so the Asian Table Tennis Union and European Table Tennis Union agreed during the Olympic Games held in Beijing to jointly sanction the "EUROPE-ASIA ALL STARS SERIES" in order to further boost table tennis. This event consists of two tournaments, one held in China and the other in a selected European country. Each tournament features a team competition between the Asian and the European all star team consisting of five singles per day. The tournament will be broadcast by CCTV5 in China.

Nikon logo will be exposed all over the venue, including on the players' bibs and uniforms and table-tennis tables.
