hwp 1936, Jesse Owens.
1960, Cassius Clay.
And now in 1988,
the name on everyones lips,
US table tennis champion,
Randy Daytona.
Youve seen him
in Sports Illustrated, on
the Cinnamon Toast Crunch box.
You may even already own
his McDonalds
collectors glass.
The golden boy
who iced Iceland in round one,
and checked off Czechoslovakia
in round two.
So why dont
we take a moment to meet
the real Randy Daytona?
Here he is showing us
his skills with
his lucky Def Leppard paddle
thats won him
over 200 amateur matches.
With him, as always, his coach
and father, Sergeant Pete
Daytona, of the US Marines.
Randy,
youre only 12 years old,
and already theyre saying
that your name
will go down among those
of the greatest
Ping-Pong players
ever to take up the sport.
And right offhand,
I dont know
what those names are.
Randy,
the eyes of all America,
and indeed the entire world,
will be on you tonight.
USA! USA! USA!
2:45 am. The moment
youve all been waiting for.
The mens table tennis
semifinals.
Tiny balls, bouncing for gold.
USA! USA! USA!
Now, presenting
the United States of America,
Randy Daytona!
Here he is,
entering to his unofficial
theme song, Rock of Ages,
by the super group
Def Leppard.
I love you, Randy!
Hey, big guy,
I just want to make sure
youre ready.
Have you seen my dad?
No.
Where were you?
You think Id miss this?
You didnt put money on this,
did you?
Dad, you promised.
Try not to think about it,
okay?
Now, presenting East Germany,
Karl Wolfschtagg!
Deutschland! Deutschland!
Deutschland! Deutschland!
May the best man win, huh?
I will destroy him!
Beat that Kraut!
Breathtaking intensity
surrounds the table
as Daytona and Manslaughter
fire away at each other.
Daytonas in the groove.
Both men distancing themselves
from the table now.
Theres a high elevation lob.
Tremendous accuracy.
And a smash by Manslaughter.
And Randy Daytona
makes the save.
One more smash!
And now Daytona goes back.
Farther back!
Back!
And the crowd rises
in anticipation!
He stretches.
Look out!
Shit!
Randy? Randy? You okay?
Randy? Randy?
Randy Daytona,
unable to finish.
Match forfeit to East Germany.
Randy?
Im going to Disneyland!
Come on, guys.
Cant we talk about this?
Mr. Feng does not
extend credit.
Gentlemen, time is money.
Chop-chop.
Jesus!
Well, thats the way the
cookie crumbles here in Korea.
As Renos golden boy
was humiliated
in the semifinals,
and if he lives to be 100,
hell never live down
that Disneyland line.
If he returns to America,
a life of shame.
Two tickets to paradise!
Wont you pack your bags?
Well leave tonight
I got...
Two tickets to paradise!
I got...
Two tickets to paradise!
Lets go to heaven
Yeah! Thank you!
Take a bow, honey.
There she is!
All right,
lets keep the love going
for our very next act,
The Peppermills
very own Ping-Pong wizard...
Randy Daytona!
Randy Daytona!
Come on, lets bring him out.
Hows everybody feeling
this afternoon?
All right!
I dont want to work.
I just want to bang
on these drums
all day long. Am I right?
Hey!
Thank you!
Hey, a volunteer!
How you doing, buddy?
I was just going
for more Cheese n Mac.
Stop!
Thank you!
Were in the biz
to bring the bewonderment
