My guess :
Ma Lin--age 5
Wang Liqin--age 6
Timo Ball--age 4
Vladimir Samsonov--age 7
Zhang Yinging--age 6
Guo Yue--age 6
Guo Yan--age 6
Li Jiawei--age 6

And the player who won men's singles at World Championship, Olympic, and World Cup = Liu Guoliang

I will post the answer in a few days but I can add that the answer to #2 is more than one person; there are three players.

Will be looking forward to your answers, ejunkie.

Cheers and have a nice weekend.

I could be wrong but if Waldner didn't win the world cup there is only two. Sorry.

Good qn.

Here is my answer. The age of the rest of the players is 6. Am I right?

[ejunkie]

Solutions:
quiz 1. 7X+4=46
7X=42
X=6 All started at age 6. QED
Varghese you are right!

Quiz 2. Kong Linghui and LiuGuoliang. Waldner Won 89 and 97 Worlds, 92 Olympic, but not World Cup, though he won European Champ. For women Zhang Yining equals the forementioned Kong and Liu. If Deng Yaping had a chance I am sure she would been one too.

More later.
