Kanak Jha

Kanak Jhu

When you think about the year 2000, doesn't it seem like it was just five years ago...definitely not 16...but oh baby baby *corny reference to the Britney song released that year* will you feel old when you hear that Kanak Jha is the first American born in the 2000s to qualify for the Olympics. The 16-year-old table tennis prodigy has also previously competed in and won the 2014 North America Cup Men's Singles competition.
