==End of elite level career== 
 I added this from a good reference: In May 2012 Stefan Frauenholz, Fulda-Maberzell's President, confirmed that Jan-Ove Waldner finished his contract with the club. Timo Boll: "Was yesterday's match against us the last one for Jan-Ove Waldner?" referring to the Bundesliga semifinal between Borussia Dusseldorf and Fulda-Maberzell. This probably ends his career at the international elite level, at the age of 46 years. 

 If you doubt that the semifinal in the German table tennis league is at international elite level take a look at the players in those teams. There are only a few Germans. Most of the players in these teams are the best players from China, Korea, Japan, etc...
