Kent Mikael Appelgren (born 15 October 1961 in Stockholm) is a Swedish former table tennis player.[1]

Table tennis career[edit]

He was 4-times World Champion, 9-times European Champion, 2-times Europe Top-12 winner, and World Cup winner.[2] He also won an English Open title.

He is left-handed and is known for his ability to play well far away from the table. This particular style became known over the years as 'appleing'. [citation needed]

Applegren coaches Swedish first league team Ängby/Spårvägen and was present when Jan-Ove Waldner ended his career on 11 February 2016.
