Since 2008, Ovtcharov has won a total of two silver and four bronze medals at the Olympics, making him second most decorated male Olympian in the table tennis category in terms of the number of medals awarded.

Career

[edit]

At the2008 Summer Olympics inBeijing, Ovtcharov won thesilver medal as part of the German men's team, together withTimo Boll andChristian Süß.[3][8]

He used a special technique in his serves, which was later picked byTime magazine as one of the top 50 innovations of 2008.[9]

On 22 September 2010, Ovtcharov had been suspended by the German Table Tennis Federation (DTTB) due to a positive A-sample test forClenbuterol that may be used as a performance-enhancing substance.[10] Ovtcharov himself denied the doping accusation and requested a B-sample analysis which still tested positive.[11][12] After hearings and further investigations, the hair sample voluntarily offered by Ovtcharov showed no evidence of clenbuterol and its abuse. DTTB later unanimously decided to cancel the suspension on 15 October 2010.[13] The decision was endorsed by ITTF.[14]

At the2012 Summer Olympics, Ovtcharov won bronze medals insingles and team events. In June 2015, he won a gold medal at theinaugural European Games. At the2016 Summer Olympics, he was defeated byVladimir Samsonov in the singles quarter-final. He then won a team bronze medal.[5] In June 2017, he won the title at the China Open against Timo Boll (4 sets to 3), and in August 2017 he won the title at the Bulgaria Open. In January 2018, Ovtcharov became the World's Number 1 Table Tennis Player.
