# Alvaro Robles calls Olympics biggest stage, eyes return 2026-08-17T02:03:08+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Spanish table tennis player Alvaro Robles, ranked No. 67 in the world, has said the Olympics remain his ultimate goal as he seeks another appearance at the Games. Robles, who reached a career-high No. 28, has been a regular on the international circuit for over a decade and has featured in six of seven editions of India’s Ultimate Table Tennis. Robles told The Hindu that his career was shaped by idolising German great Timo Boll and by moving to Germany as a teenager to train with top players. He described consistency in training as the key to staying inside the world top 100 for nearly 10 years. The 33-year-old father of two said he hopes to return to his best form and remain at the elite level for another decade. He noted that Spanish table tennis has improved, with around 20 players now ranked between 100 and 300, and strong results at junior levels. Robles said the next step is to push more Spaniards into the top 100. ## Coverage - thehindu.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
