Table tennis world wowed by 95yo champ

A Sydney woman has attracted international headlines by competing in an international table tennis tournament at the age of 95.

Dorothy de Low was the oldest competitor at the World Veteran Table Tennis Championship in Germany.

Mrs de Low’s story has appeared in newspapers around the world and she has also reportedly been contacted by producers with the Dave Letterman chat show in the US.

Her son, Peter de Low, says his mother will handle the attention well.

“I think she loves it,” he said.

“She’s got a purpose behind playing table tennis and that is to raise cancer awareness because I lost a sister through that 20 years ago, so that is sort of a purpose behind any publicity she gets as well.”
