European Games 2019

[NextLevel]

Falck out to Shibaev 4-0, didn't see that one coming! Also Apolonia losing again to someone much lower ranked - ever since I started noticing his name (perhaps around the time his blade came out), he pretty much hasn't beaten anyone interesting.

Wang Yang is a pretty tough chopper. Apolonia lost to a good player.

Ovtcharov HAS TO WIN THIS TOURNAMENT!!!

OR ELSE!

(Else what? ... Exactly.)

I watched a documentary on Tamara Boros recently. It is pretty sad that nowadays, European women's TT is all dominated by players who originally trained in Asia. Lots of work still on the horizon. I mean a lady over 50 is beating the top players in Europe.

Ni Xia Lian 3-1 Szocs

Yea!!!

Was down 0-3, got it back to 3-3 and still lost. Polcanova loses to Han Ying. Solja down vs Li Qian. Pathetic.

Except for ZJK.

At that time ZJK wasn't interesting. So I think the original statement is correct.

Weakest field ever.

OR ELSE!

(Else what? ... Exactly.)

Or else, he doesn't win

Weakest field ever.

Solja pulls it out. It would make zero sense to have Han Ying as a teammate and lose that match. Zero.

Weakest field ever.

NEVER underestimate Ni Xialian. Lesson one.

For those who know how to use acestream - 8d9094e60cac92486cd23d1311a4ef1261a337ed . This is for Belarus 5 channel where one can currently watch Vladi vs Kirill.

A big crowd.

Wow, we've got 4 choppers and 2 penholders in the QF. Such a throwback!

Ovtcharov HAS TO WIN THIS TOURNAMENT!!!

Dima doesn't seem to agree. At least Groth completely disagrees as he is up 3-0 at the moment.

 

[Michal_Z]

Ovtcharov lost easily to Groth!!!
That is great news for Wang Yang, Groth is much better player to play than Ovtcharov, if you are a defender

 

[NextLevel]

Dima is out. Oh well... so has Groth gotten better or has Dima gotten worse? Or some mix of both?

Haven't seen the match but it is quite long since Dima played top level.

NI YU YANG LI HAN all qualified for 1/4 finals. Is this a Chinese provincial championship ?? One could be easily mistaken

IIRC it's a long, long time ago that any of these players mentioned were of chinese nationality.
