Except Tomo's parents are Chinese table tennis insiders and they have relatives in China, so they can follow Chinese young players if they want to. Meanwhile Tomo will grow taller, extending his reach with arms, torso and legs, and he will add 20 pounds of muscle from 14 to 18 (growth plus workouts). He may lose 10% of his quickness, but he'll make up for that with power and knowledge. Gonna be fun to follow the developments. If I were in charge of Chinese table tennis, I'd work on getting him a super hot girlfriend for June, 2019 to derail him for a few years....when harimoto is 18 the chinese will have studied him for half a decade and he will face 20 year old chinese players who he has never seen.

He is more Japanese than Chinese. He will try to win gold for his Japanese foster country as Japan is the nation which he has been raised up from while China has not done anything for him. I always tell my kids who were born in US that this (US) is your real country even your parents were from a different one which has nothing to do with them.
Sure wish I knew Japanese. I would love some more insight into how he got so good so young, and why he yells so much, and how he has become a top-ten killer, especially how he figured out to stay within 3 feet of the table when he is actually capable of stepping back if he wants to. He is a brilliant tactician (at 14!!!)
