Artemis Gay (Born 1987, Mana, Furnifold) is a table tennis player from the nation of Furnifold. Possessing dexterous footwork and a powerful penhold style, Gay rose to the top of Furnifold table tennis rankings in 2005 at the age of 18, the youngest player ever to do so, and thus beginning his 12 year international career. Gay moved onto the regional stage, where he was well known for his passion while competing, and his complete mellowness when outside of competition. After competing in the Yasteria Table Tennis Competition in 2009, and losing miserably in the opening round, he took a two-year hiatus from the sport to examine his playing style and passion for the game. In 2011, he returned suddenly to the Furnifold table tennis scene, again his play propelling to the top of Furnifold’s rankings. Retaining his passion for the sport, he entered international play once again, representing Furnifold as its only qualifying table tennis player in the WTTF Grand Tour.
