She is now competing in another cultural-athletic event, the Elitzuria Games in Israel, for traditional and Orthodox youth. She began actively com- peting at age 10. She practic- ed "a few hours every day." Her goal? "'Ib be the best." 'A goal which she eventually achieved in the U.S. competi- tion. "I always wanted to go to the Olympics," she adds. "But it always seemed really far away." The Olympic table tennis system involves qualifications which do not allow the U.S. to send a full team. Two spots in this year's Olympics were reserved for North Americans. One player each from the U.S. and Canada will go. If the U.S. could send a full squad "I would probably have kept playing," Mantel says. "But I decided to go to school." Although she is playing in Israel this week, Mantel says competition is "pretty well behind me. Right now my goals are to do well in school and become a doctor. Table tennis is more of something that I like to do for recreation. It's nice memories. And now I like teaching it to other peo- ple." She admits that at her U-M dorm, occasionally "I attack people" at the ping pong table. Like Clark Kent, she hides her true identity. "And all of the sudden I'm beating them. They're very shocked." However, she does not hustle anyone for money. "Just for fun," she says. Her best table tennis memory came at the 1986 U.S. Olympic Festival in Houston. Mantel, then the top-ranked U.S. junior, met a highly-ranked senior player, Ai-Li Wu, in the final match of the festival. Mantel was not only an underdog, she had several distractions. "My leg was all taped up and it was horrible. And they were rushing us, you know, 'Come on, get done, we have to have the award ceremony.' But I beat her. That was probably my favorite match." Now "her" matches will be played by other people. But at least the Maccabi program allows her to remain a partici- pant in table tennis. ■ Shapiro Wins iWo Events Jodi Shapiro swam to vic- tory in two events in the Elizabethtown, Ky., Summer Classic last week.
