Table tennis star Pascal Kronen Berger is set to revitalize the sport when he makes a visit in August.

The German star is expected to carry along table tennis equipment ranging from balls, bats and nets in a bid to revamp the sport which has been hampered by lack of equipment.

The president of the national table tennis federation Medrad Rutayisire pointed out that besides the equipment, Berger will also pass on a few playing skills to the locals.

"It is going to be a valuable visit for Rwandan table tennis but he (Berger) is not going to stop at giving us the equipment but also give important tips to our top players,” Rutayisire noted.
