Truls Möregårdh

Truls Carl Eric Möregårdh (; born 16 February 2002) is a Swedish professional table tennis player with Hovmantorp GoIF as his youth team. He took silver in the men's singles event at the 2024 Summer Olympics, as well as at the 2021 World Table Tennis Championships. In 2018, he took bronze with the Swedish team at the World Team Table Tennis Championships. In 2025, Möregårdh became the first non-Chinese player to win a WTT Grand Smash singles title. In March 2026, he achieved a career-high ranking of world No. 2 in singles by ITTF/WTT.

Playing style and equipment Möregårdh is right-handed and uses the European shakehand style to hold his racket. He has drawn comparisons to the Swedish legend Jan-Ove Waldner for his extensive use of backhand blocking and backhand punching. He also regularly employs a number of unconventional techniques, such as the chop block, which contribute to his creative playing style.

Möregårdh is notable for being one of the first elite players to use a table tennis racket with the Stiga Cybershape blade, which has a hexagonal shape as opposed to the more common oval shape. As a Stiga-sponsored athlete, he uses the Stiga Cybershape Carbon CWT Truls Edition blade and the Stiga Helix Platinum XH rubber on both sides. In 2021 he became Swedish champion again when he defeated Anton Källberg in the final. The same year he won the silver in the 2021 World Championships, losing the final against Fan Zhendong.

As of 2023, he was playing for Lexuan Sports Group TTC in the China Table Tennis Super League.

At the 2024 Summer Olympics, Möregårdh won the silver medal, defeating the top-ranked Wang Chuqin in the round of 32 of the Men's singles but ultimately losing the final to Fan Zhendong. Together with Anton Källberg and Kristian Karlsson, Möregårdh went on to win his second Olympic silver medal in the team event following a defeat against the Chinese team in the final.
