A British Class 6 table tennis player ranked fifth in the world underperformed and was knocked out in the second round at the Paralympics.
Nothing much to shout about there, you might think. So far, so British. And you'd be right, if David Wetherill hadn't managed to produce THE BEST SHOT EVER IN ANY RACQUET SPORT in the process of losing the decisive fourth game. If you think we're exaggerating, consider this: when was the last time you saw officials and opposing coaches applauding a player during a match? As one-hit wonders go, he's the Joe Dolce of ping pong; the Norman Greenbaum of wiff waff.
Much as we'd love to eulogise, we won't spoil the shot for you just in case you haven't already seen it. Once you've taken a moment to prepare your mind for a good old-fashioned boggling, click play below and get ready to catch your jaw when it drops.
