Ansley |
Bio
A resilient
newcomer guaranteed to wow the crowd, Orlo is without
a doubt the one to watch on this year's circuit. In
a few brief months he's jumped from obscurity to the
center of the Unipong stage. Orlo's wiry frame contains
the coiled athleticism of a born competitor. |

| Sven
Svenson |
Bio
The Norwegian Nailbiter,
Sven is known as an emotional Roller coaster. From the
locker room to center court, he uses a tightly wired
system he describes as 'Empathic Play' to wring the
most out of an admittedly second tier talent. While
never 1st rank, Sven's consistency can be unnerving…one
slip in his opponents is enough to give the tournament
whenever Sven is in the final four. |

| Sarah
Welber |
Bio
A threat at any time,
Sarah's game has just gotten better and better this
season. From her early days at the 92nd street Y right
up to this seasons Sri Lankan invitational Sarah has
applied unyielding discipline to improve her game. With
a special emphasis on deep chaining and wall-banging
- Sarah has come within striking distance of the reigning
Champ, Takanohama. Off the court, Sarah keeps herself
to herself. Rumors of a budding friendship with the
sports newest sensation Orlo Ansley are, she says, "nobody's
business but Orlo's". |

| Ozeki
Takanohama |
Bio
For the last 6 years,
one name has stood above all others in the world of
competitive Unipong: Ozeki Takanohama. With a grace
that belies his early Sumo days, the 'Ham Man', as he
is called, has a command of the Flow that is nothing
short of awe-inspiring. He attributes his long success
to a strict diet of Cheese Nips and Hard-boiled eggs. |
