This clip was filmed at club Trondheim Bordtennis Klubb in Norway, on November 25.
The club shared the footage of a second division match online and it has since been viewed over one million times.
‘There was no doubt luck,’ Chen said, according to Norway’s NRK.
His opponent went in for the kill, smashing the ball to Christopher’s side of the table
‘It’s once in a lifetime and I’m unable to do that again. I’m 99 per cent sure.’
Explaining the miraculous shot, Chen said: ‘ I really didn’t think anything. I lay under the table and thought the ball was lost. So I just did something I thought was fun. Amazingly, he hit my racket.
‘I heard a lot of applause, and then I realised it was happening. It was insane.’
Raising his hand from beneath the table, Christopher was able to pull off an incredible shot
The clip naturally stirred up some debate as to who should awarded the point with table tennis enthusiasts pointing out that Chen had his free hand on the able, something that is forbidden.
He did in fact lose the point but recovered to win the second division match three sets to love.
As well as winning the game, the 15-year-old has won praise the world over for his incredible shot.
