Amazing match!

Just looking at the scores reveals a level match. Yet FZD was the one closing it; good for him. LYY will no doubt learn and grow even stronger from this hair-thin defeat.

 

[SFF_lib]

Tough mentality seen in the 6th game. Come back from 5-9 isn't easy especially against FZD

i believed in LYJ till the very end. I'm so disappointed. tough for him.In all olympics and WTTC, China gets seriously challenged once, but they (almost) always win it

 

[NextLevel]

That has to be the best table tennis match I have seen at the Olympics since 2010 for sure if not all time.

 

[puyol]

This must have been one of the most dramatic high-stakes high-level matches ever.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

the 2017 WTTC final between ML and FZD was awesome too

 

[An0n]

Some mixed feelings for me too. Very proud of Lin but keep thinking what could have been….

Fan really earned his medal though, no doubt the best player in the world right now. Can’t see him being troubled by Ma (or Ovtcharov).

 

[Lycanthrope]

Jesus, I can't breath at all.
Total score 75 : 75

Ma Long is Ma Long but I fully agree.

 

[yoass]

FZD gave his all, but ML may not have shown his ultimate form yet.

I think the pressure’s higher for FZD; he has everything to win, with ML having nothing to lose. Also, I expect if there’s any opponent out there that puts unrest in FZD’s mind, that would be ML.

I’ll not count ML out just now. Well, if he bests a seriously peaking Dima; he should be able to, but ir’s no given.

Not working unfortunately
Hello everyone, Long time no see

Fan would have been suicidal if he lost that. Let's be happy with the result on some level.

ML- dima: 2:0

Unbelievable! It comes down to who gets a 2-point advantage more.

Serve masterclass from Ma Long:

• hide the ball with your head
• wait for umpire to warn you
• change absolutely nothing
• ? ? ? ? ?
• PROFIT
