BUDAPEST: Hungary showed it remains the dominant force in teqball, a hybrid sport mixing football with table tennis, winning the singles and doubles world titles on Sunday.

Teqball, the brainchild of former professional soccer player Gabor Borsanyi and computer scientist Viktor Huszar, is played on a downward-sloping, knee-high table and involves spectacular long kicks, dribbles and explosive headers. Blazsovics beat Poland's Adrian Duszak in two straight sets for the singles gold, while he and Banyik also needed only two sets to defeat Montenegro in the doubles."We have trained very hard for this, practising four times a week for singles, doubles and mixed doubles as well," Blazsovics told Reuters."We give it our all, including the technical skills that we all bring from football to teqball.
