Jörgen Persson (born 22 April 1966, in Halmstad, Sweden) is a Swedish table tennis player.[2] In two memorable World Table Tennis Championships finals he faced fellow Swede Jan-Ove Waldner in 1989 and 1991, losing the former and winning the latter.[3]
Persson has represented Sweden in every Olympic Games since table tennis was introduced into the Olympic program. The 2012 olympics were his last (46 yrs old at the time) - he has officially retired and will therefore not play at the 2016 Olympics.[1] Along with Croatian Zoran Primorac and Belgian Jean-Michel Saive, he is the first table tennis player to have competed at seven Olympic Games. His game is based on a powerful backhand stroke and a regular forehand.
His best Olympic result is a fourth place at the 2000 Summer Olympics and 2008 Summer Olympics.
