Arnaud Sellier [club]; Gustavo Levisman [national]

After winning two medals at the 2018 South American Championships in Santiago, Chile, he was the victim of a robbery at his hotel and suffered a sprained right shoulder while fleeing the attack. He underwent surgery and returned to competition in March 2019. "I had very bad luck, but thinking about it, it could have been worse." (lanacion.com.ar, 19 Apr 2019; lavozdegalicia.es, 21 Mar 2019; pontevedraviva.com, 28 Nov 2018)

He took up the sport at age 11. (clarin.com, 17 Apr 2021)

MOVE TO EUROPE
At age 17 he moved to Europe in order to advance his table tennis career. He is based in Porto, Portugal, but has also played table tennis in Germany, Austria, Spain, Belgium and France. "Asian countries dominate this sport, but besides them, Europe is where everything happens. The experience of playing there has gave me lots of competitions at international level and with many good players. That's something impossible to find in Argentina." (clarin.com, 17 Apr 2021)
