Azlan my friend, Japan will have something to say about your 3rd place selection!

[Der_Echte]

Of course japan will be under-dogs, but let's watch the fireworks.

[Davott]

Gold: China
Silver: Japan
Bronze: Germany (South Korea looked extremely suspect today, Oh Sangeun was particularly poor but it will be close due to Timo Bolls poor form)

[valouping]

Gold: China
Silver: Germany
Bronze: Korea Republic

[kevin]

Gold:China
Silver: Germany
Bronze:Japan

[Raffols]

Gold:CHINA
Silver:GERMANY
Bronze:JAPAN

[UpSideDownCarl]

For those of you who chose China as Gold and Germany as silver, you should have looked at the draw. There is no possible way for China to get Gold and Germany to get silver.

If Germany gets to the finals China would have to play for the Bronze. If China gets to the finals, Germany would have to play for the Bronze.

Here is my guess:

China
Korea
Germany

I think Ovtcharov is playing great but I don't know about Timo and Bastian. We shall see.

[azlan]

Azlan my friend, Japan will have something to say about your 3rd place selection!

Hehehe maybe...I'm still waiting till the 8th of August, it'll give me a bit of time to see the teams respective form. This is hard! :)

[Michal_Z]

I decided not to put my guess in for now ;)

[firdausnazeri]

[Michal_Z]

Just to be different:

3 - China
I would suggest the same, but I will wait for the match in 30 minutes to see how it goes ;)

[Der_Echte]

Hehehe maybe...I'm still waiting till the 8th of August, it'll give me a bit of time to see the teams respective form. This is hard! :)

Haha, someone slapped Japan accross their mouth and shut them up before they could test Germany...

Portugal almost snuffed out Korea's candle light.

[Schlaftablette]

1. China
2. Korea
3. Germany

[MJB]

1. China.............2. Korea...............3. Germany.

[TTPRO]

GOLD: China
Silver: Korea Rep.
Bronze: Germany

[DustinZ]

Gold: China

[wilfred888]

Gold: China

[Knuckle Ball]

The last Men's Team tournament I saw had the Koreans whipping Zhang Jike and Wang Hao like kids! Maybe, just maybe it could somehow happen again
So something different for me:
Gold - Korea
Silver - China
Bronze - Germany

[Vega]

Gold: China
Silver: Korea Rep.
Bronze: Germany

[Michal_Z]

I hope Korea to win, in fact, but I dont think it will really happen..

So
1. China
2. Korea Rep.
3. Germany

Germany deserves a medal ;)

[Rhydian]

tough decision in my opinion....
i'm going for this:
Gold: China
Silver: Korea Rep.
Bronze: Germany

i think Germany can get the Bronze medal as Ovtcharov plays great an Steger is improving and Timo showed that he can be on form one more time ^^
too bad Portugal lost against Korea Rep. it would have been great for them to play for Bronze ;) or maybe Gold if they had beaten Hong Kong ^^
please, let me win this competition xD

[UpSideDownCarl]

I wonder how on earth can you guys still put JAPAN in there ???
JAPAN IS OUT OF COMPETITION !!!

It entertained me at the beginning how many people put China as Gold and Germany as Silver which is not possible because of the draw. :)

[syedlee]

Gold: China
Silver: Korea rep
Bronze: germany

[Michal_Z]

It entertained me at the beginning how many people put China as Gold and Germany as Silver which is not possible because of the draw. :)
Same.. people are so stupid :D

[UpSideDownCarl]

Same.. people are so stupid :D

[CANP]

gold-China
silver-Korea Rep.
bronze-Hong Kong

[Anders]

I think these will be the medal winners of London 2012 Olympics Mens Team Table Tennis:

Gold: China
Silver: South Korea
Bronze: Germany

[TT fan]

Gold: China
Silver: Korea republic
Bronze: Germany

[TableTennisDaily]

Competition now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered and took part! Enjoy the finals today! Winner will be announced shortly :)

[Michal_Z]

Shortly???
Who is the winner? :D

[Bollforte94]

Shortly???
Who is the winner? :D

Yeah ;) Iwant to know, too!

[azlan]

Patience is a virtue, my young grasshoppers :)

[Bollforte94]

Wise words as always ..:D

[UpSideDownCarl]

Besides, after Japan got nocked out, there were, at a certain point, a lot of people who put down,

China,
Korea,
Germany

as their choice. So there are a lot of people for them to put in the draw to find who will get the prize.

[Michal_Z]

Yes and also they have to check for double posters, who posted more than one guess :-P

[Vega]

would be interesting to make a statistic of the different choices all the people wrote down, but to time expensive for me, i shouldnt even be here on the forum and learn for my exams :D

[Der_Echte]

Don't sweat it everyone, it will all soon come out in the wash.

[UpSideDownCarl]

Don't sweat it everyone, it will all soon come out in the wash.

As long as you are not talking about those signatures. :) Who ever wins: don't wash that shirt. :)

[Bollforte94]

I would play with it but i wouldn't wash it. Quite interesting how it would smell after a week or two?:D

[Davott]

Yeah, someone posted after the bronze medal match I think. Not hard to guess who was going to win the final... everybody would have entered correctly.

I know I got my prediction wrong but I think its unfair people were allowed to get more information and then predict.

[Michal_Z]

would be interesting to make a statistic of the different choices all the people wrote down, but to time expensive for me, i shouldnt even be here on the forum and learn for my exams :D

I am working on it ;)

[Der_Echte]

It is an expression meaning that it will all be sorted out.

In parentheses are nicknames, who broke rules and edited their post. I didnt count when someone edited his post right away just to fix some typing mistake.
But I only decided to make a statistic with the illegal votes as they are only 3 of them.
Ok, the statistic with all votes:
Total votes: 83
Correct vote - 1st China, 2nd Korea, 3rd Germany - 37 which is 44,58%
Other votes:
1st China, 2nd Japan, 3rd Germany - 13 votes, which is 15,66%
1st China, 2nd Germany, 3rd Japan - 11 votes, which is 13,25%
1st China, 2nd Germany, 3rd Korea - 7 votes, which is 8,43%
1st China, 2nd Japan, 3rd Korea - 5 votes, which is 6%
1st China, 2nd Korea, 3rd Japan - 4 votes, which is 4,81%
1st China, 2nd Korea, 3rd Hongkong - 2 votes, which is 2,4%

Other options got only one vote, like:
1-China, 2- Hongkong, 3-Germany; 1-Korea, 2-Germany, 3-China; 1-Germany, 2-Korea, 3-China; 1-Korea, 2-China, 3-Germany.

Interesting statistics is when I count all STUPID votes that couldnt win at the time, when entered.
That means that their vote was not possible according to the draw or already played matches.
So we got in total 22 stupid votes, which is 26,5% :)

So, possible winners are:

TTOski, Jefftanjs, markog99, Bollforte94, judah000, xu37, zhong97, carlos chuz, Nairod, tameen, sajid, kiwiNCFC, WiWa, Super Chopper, DKPOWA, chughtai, Mattis, firdausnazeri, Mwit_Psychoror, Fernando, Giangt, Schlaftablette, MJB, TTPRO, DustinZ, derekho, YosuaYosan, wilfred888, Vega, Michal_Z, Rhydian, syedlee, Anders, TT fan

That is 34 members out from 80 legal votes, so 42,5% of competitiors guessed right.
Compared to the vote London Olympics teams, where almost 87% voters voted for China to win, here it was 80 out from 83, which is 96,39%.
44 people guessed correct Korea as 2nd, that is 53% and
52 people guessed correct Germany as 3rd, that is 62,65%

Illegal (correct) votes were: azlan, strangeloop and UpSideDownCarl.
Its up to the admins to consider their votes as valid or not.

I hope no other statistics needed, if yes, let me know, I can take a look at it ;)

[azlan]

Nicely done Michal..superb except for one thing. :) I voted correctly, yes I edited my post, but just to change to South Korea and it was done on the 7th, a day before the dateline hehehe South Korea = Korea Republic *ahem:)

Oh..Upsidedowncarl and strangeloop too edited, but it was done on the 6th, 2 days before the dateline..*ahem :)

[Michal_Z]

I know azlan.
BUT .. rules doesnt say anything about when you are going to edit your post.
What you have done is the same as if you would post another suggestion.
the rule say clearly:

- Once a post has been submitted, a member cannot edit their submission. Users who edit their submission will not be included into the prize draw.

No word about editing before the deadline..

[jmillsy2]

Meh, let's just let the admins decide :P

[azlan]

Oh yeah..didn't see that. Oh well...don't expect to win anyway :) thanx Michal.

[Michal_Z]

NP .. :)
I am still laughing at stupid votes..
Means in general, that every 4th TTDaily member is stupid :D
