Story for the magazine "Stern" #50_2016 about the mentally disabled table tennis athlete Hartmut Freund. The gentle 48 year old Hartmut is trained by his brother Norbert Freund who sacrificed his career as a journalist to allow his brother to live his life up to his possiblities. Even though Hartmut is not able to communicate his basic needs or even take a shower without help due to his low IQ of 46 he is a stunningly good table tennis player. A sport for which usually fast reflexes and mental abilities are needed.
