Luka Mladenovic (table tennis)

Luka Mladenovic (born 26 December 1998)[1] is a Luxembourgish table tennis player. Born in Luxembourg to Serbian parents, Mladenovic took up table tennis as a child after health issues made him stop playing football and take up indoor sports.[2] Mladenovic qualified to represent Luxembourg at the 2024 Summer Olympics,[3] but was eliminated in the round of 64 in the men's table tennis tournament by Jonathan Groth.[4][5] He became the first male table tennis player to represent Luxembourg at the Olympics.[4]
