- [Adam] Kanak Jha, the
great hope for the US. He became the first ever
Olympic medalist for USA in table tennis after beating
the current world number five, The Silent Assassin, Lin Yun-Ju in the 2018 Youth Olympic Games. - [Sports Announcer] He's done it! Kanak Jha of the United States of America. - [Adam] He started playing table tennis at the age of five after watching Prachi, his older sister, play. At the age of 14, he moved to Sweden to become a full-time professional, and at just 16 years old, he became the US men's national champion. Then again at 17, 18, and 19 to become the first ever
four-time consecutive men's US National Champion in history. He's only 21 years old right now, and has been the only player from the US to play seven consecutive
years professionally. He's currently playing in Germany and still improving all the time. At the world's biggest events. He's also beaten Korea's
world championships bronze medalist An Jae-Hyun, Japanese national champion Yukiya Uda, and Chinese Olympic simulation
champion Zhou Qihao. Kanak recently led the
US Men's National Team at the Olympics. With the 2028 Olympics
being held in Los Angeles on home soil, we expect Kanak to be the
leading man for team USA. Also, only a small percentage of people who watch my videos are

be happy that you did. Kanak already beat me at
an official tournament when he was 11 years old, and is clearly way out of my league. So to test him, I'm gonna
start with a significant lead. It will be a best of five match, and I'll start the first
game up seven to zero in a game to 11, must win by two. If I lose game one,
I'll start the next game with an eight to zero lead,
but if I win game one, I'll start the next game with
a six to zero lead, and so on. First player to win three
games wins the match. Here we go! - Ah - Good Start - Okay. - Zero Seven - Okay
- Okay - Here we go - Oh, good. - Tricky serve. - Thanks, snake serve. - But it looked like it was going there. Clutch shot.
