Number One In the World! From Puerto Rico, The Best Mixed Doubles Team In U-13 Table Tennis

(by: Edgardo Vázquez /Puerto Rico National Coach )

Among the rising stars are Brianna Rodríguez and Owen Shemesh, who woke up Tuesday as the number one mixed doubles team in the world in the ITTF U-13 category, climbing two spots from their previous ranking.

Junior table tennis has a new dominant pairing: Owen Shemesh and Brianna Rodríguez, who have reached the number 1 ranking in the world in mixed doubles. Their success is the result of hard work, commitment, and table chemistry that has taken them to the top of international youth sports.

Owen Shemesh, one of the newest additions to the Bowmar Butterfly Americas family, has proven to be an athlete of great potential and determination. His playing style, based on a combination of power, control, and strategy, makes him a key player in any team. Thanks to the support of Bowmar Butterfly Americas, Owen has been able to strengthen his development and compete at the highest international level.

For her part, Brianna Rodríguez has been one of the most consistent players on the junior circuit. Her speed, tactical intelligence, and adaptability have been key to the pair’s success. Together, they have achieved an exceptional connection, complementing each other on every point and demonstrating that they have the winning mentality to stay at the top.

Owen and Brianna’s rise to the top of the world rankings is a reflection of their discipline and the support they have received from their coaches and sponsors. Thanks to the support of Bowmar Butterfly Americas and the confidence of Mr. Bowie and the entire Butterfly America team in young talent, these athletes continue to push boundaries and set new standards in junior table tennis.

With their recent success, Owen and Brianna have not only made their mark on the history of junior table tennis, but are also inspiring new generations of players to follow in their footsteps. Their goal is clear: to continue growing, competing, and establishing themselves as one of the best pairs in the world in all categories.

Without a doubt, this is just the beginning of a career filled with achievements for Owen Shemesh and Brianna Rodriguez, who will continue to train diligently to defend their title and reach new heights on the international stage.
