Miłosz Kraiński
World Champion Garlando Par Semi-pro 2012 and Polish Champion Garlando OS and OD 2017, and 2018. Player of the Toruń Table Football Club and participant in the Puchar Sołtysa. He has been playing table football since autumn 2008.

Toughest opponent of your career?
It's difficult to pinpoint one person. There have been a few players over the years who have regularly outplayed me or still do. I think my biggest opponent is myself.
Toughest match during Pucharu Sołtysa?
I hesitated between the two, against Krzys Warzesha and Grzegorz Zawilowicz, who finished our match against Jack Raczkier in the pairs tournament, or Simon Varos in the OS. In pairs, the longer the match went on, the worse I looked on the three-setter, which the guys took advantage of, winning flawlessly in five sets. In the singles match, my opponent played more solidly from start to finish, feeling my poor transition from 2 to 5 well, which didn't help. I had my chances, but the better player won.
Favourite technique/play?
All circumstances aside, this is a stave of 3 or 2.
Favourite table?
Lehmacher, which has not been an official P4P table for many years, but continuously in my opinion is the best German table. The Leonhart in comparison still seems to me a bit toy-like and slows the game down. Tornado ex aequo in first place.
Favourite foosball competition?
Single Open. It's all up to you, which of course can be a double-edged sword, but that's when it feels the biggest backlash.
Biggest career success?
On paper, it is the 2012 Garlando world championship of semi-pro pairs paired with Michal Melnyczok. Looking subjectively, it is also important to win the 2017 Garlando Polish championship in OS and OD with Jacek, and to defend these titles a year later. Winning the open pairs with Mateusz Fudala at the 2014 Czech Leonhart Championships is also memorable for me. In my heart most of all, after years of trying, winning the Polish club championships 3 times in a row with TKFS ❤
What do you miss about football as a sport?
I would like to see our hobby-sport become a real discipline. That it would be worthwhile to stand alone or in company for hundreds of hours at a table, not only for the pleasure and satisfaction, but also that one could give oneself fully to it without worrying about the material rest. Of all the bar sports, I feel that ours is at the very bottom. I don't count on the level of darts, billiards, not to mention snooker, but I would like to see parents one day considering sending their child to table football classes when thinking about their future, on a par with, say, table tennis.
