Having followed the season in the TTBL (German League) I don't see this as an upset, but rather as a logical consequence of Franziska's development. The world ranking positions don't always tell the truth

well, you can check out the head coach of Korea, Yoo Nam Kyu, olympic champion and also his student Ryu Sung Min. Kim Taek Soo and Kim Ki Taek are also legends of Korea and and their peaks were not long ago (almost same generation with Yoo Nam Kyu). The best defensive player ever, Yoo Se Hyuk, is still playing, silver WTTC 2003, which as far as I remember he is the only one defensive player achiving that.

For your reference:

​

and tell me what you have got after research on Japan achievement.

OK, here's the breakdown for Japan and Korea in parallell.

If you want the silver and bronze medals in the World championships, please feel free to look around yourself. I was unfortunately unable to find them.


Combined medal tally since the beginning of table tennis time
Korea: 46
Japan: 55


That seems to indicate that my memory might be slightly better than yours.
However, in the greater scheme of things, that doesn't matter one bit

And thank you for the video link. It was really nice to see Kim Ki-taik. He and Hyun Jung-hwa are two of my favourite players of all time

If you count from the Japan dominance period or from the beginning of table tennis, well I admit that we are actually talking in totally different languages. Since Yoo Nam Kyu Won Olympic champion (1988, Seoul), I barely remember Japanese players winning on big stages. Why I count from that time, because table tennis was in the form that similar to now (similar but not same).
But anyway, your memory is better Cheers.

You are right. If you look at the medal count before and after 1988, Korea has definitively won more than Japan since 1988.
In the end, it isn't that important - it's just numbers.
Cheers and enjoy the rest of the championships

Sure we can. There's no malice in bricephan's post, nor is there in mine. We disagree and get along at the same time. It's why this forum is better than the other TT forums on the internet

I agree, i didn't get much on other TT forums much, but here it is way far the best, and i spend time here as much i was spending time on one site for photography everyday in the past, maybe once i get back to photography i may stop coming here everyday or more often

Mixed doubles pairing XU Xin CHN/YANG Haeun KOR, they have 0 communication but still can win,LOL maybe only the korean coach can understand chinese.​

 

[underlaydisk]

Mizutani does it again!

Shifting to table 4 and cheering for Shibaev

 

[strangeloop]

And I am rooting for a Xu Xin comeback.

 

[Tommy Lee]

What a match ! Zhang Jike / Xu Xin 4:3 Masataka Morizono/Yuya Oshima (9:11, 11:8, 11:7, 9:11, 11:9, 12:10)

Save 2 match points, chest-bumping again

 

[megaexception]

Shibaev made me believe that he can take out Xu Xin, and he was really close...
But no, Xu Xin recovered, 4:2
