At the Racket Sports Symposium in Turkey I made two presentations, one about technical development in Table Tennis and the other one about the Racketlon. My first aim was to make Racketlon known by more people and try to form the Turkish Racketlon Federation. Some of my friends are currently investigating the procedures and will let me know what should be done. After having some more people around I will try to organize a challenger event in Turkey. I am now trying to finish my PhD, then I have plans to find a Post-Doc position somewhere in Europe for a couple of years, so I will have chance to play in more Tournaments. I also have some plans to conduct some research on Racketlon Players. I previously conducted a research on table tennis and tennis players in terms of reaction time and anticipation timing accuracy skills. I also investigated the effectiveness of `split step` in table tennis which is also a very important fundamental in Squash, Tennis and Badminton. I can prepare a report of my researches for FIR, to put the information on the website.
