He is one of Swedish sports’ absolute greatest.
Daniel Nannskog gets to experience that the hard way when he faces the icon Jan-Ove Waldner in a table tennis match.
– No, no, no, no, no, this is so embarrassing, exclaims the SVT profile when JO himself makes his entrance.
Former football player Daniel Nannskog has in recent years been a really colorful profile in SVT’s football broadcasts. The outspoken TV expert always speaks his mind and isn’t afraid to step on anyone’s toes.
Nannskog cocky
But sometimes even he has to eat his words when he gets a little too cocky. As in this neat case when the SVT profile is a guest on the TV channel’s new competition program “1 against Sweden”, see the video below.

Challenging a match of ping pong, Nannskog makes the most confident promise and delivers with plenty of confidence:
– I promise that I will receive every damn ball, he says in the TV box.

“Welcome JO”
But he will quickly regret that promise when he sees who suddenly enters the studio.
– Welcome in, JO Waldner!, announces a very satisfied presenter in the broadcast.

Then Nannskog realizes what he has just done and how much he will regret his words when 1 Olympic gold, 6 WC gold and 11 EC gold suddenly make an entrance.
– No, no, no, no, no, no, no, he says shocked when he sees Waldner step in like a real king.

“So embarrassing…”
Now the football expert is pitted against one of the world’s absolute best table tennis players of all time and will try to receive serves from the “King of serves” himself.
– Oh my God! But stop JO… This is so embarrassing. Come on!, says an exhausted Nannskog, who is trying his best to hit the ping pong ball with his rack.
After the program, a more humble Daniel Nannskog also admits exactly how difficult it was to play table tennis against the giant Jan-Ove Waldner.
“Absolutely insane screws! It’s impossible to explain…”, writes the SVT profile on Instagram together with the video, see it below.
