Table tennis coach who turns 80 this year has devoted his life to the sport

A table tennis coach who turns 80 this year says he is so devoted to the sport - that he never got married. Chris Town, 79, has been thrilling table tennis courts around the globe since he was just seven years old - a love affair that spanned across seven decades. But his commitment to the sport hasn't come without its sacrifices, as the sharpshooting coach has never wed and blames that on being "married" to the sport. Chris said he has come close to tying the knot on four occasions, the latest in 2010, but table tennis "got in the way".
