Congratulations Ito!
Thank you Yu Mengyu for that courageous display

 

[Michal_Z]

Poor Ito.
She was not even happy for the bronze.

Congratulations Mima! I know you wanted gold and so many in the world wanted it for you as well. One more medal to go.

Congratulations to YMY for a great Olympics.

Poor Ito.
She was not even happy for the bronze.

Yes bronze was the minimum for her standards, given there were only 2 chinese players and she beats regularly easily all the other players. except Kasumi perhaps, but she lost in the National Championships more because of her underestimating Ishikawa and taking it a bit too easy.

Ito was crying during her post-match interview and it wasn't tears of joy. She was open about her disappointment.

I'm hoping that Chen will win this match.
This is probably her last chance to play in the Olympics, she's 27.
On the other hand, Sun is younger she is 20 and she has at least one more if not 2 Olympics to play in the future.
On the men's side, I'm rooting for Ma Long to make history and to become the first double grand slam winner

Chen Meng looks ready to block and tire out Sun Yingsha

She looks like a Zhang Yining + Li Xiaoxia combined now while SYS is like an upgraded Liu Shiwen lol.

The fact that you didn't have to qualify that statement...
ouch Liu Shiwen

Just pretend that it is LSW playing now (but means she's losing?) ~

Before Tokyo 2020:
Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

After Tokyo 2020:
Is Chen Meng's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

That was so close for both chinese men wow, I did not expect this. Ovtcharov usually has no chance against Ma Long, this is surprising. And LIN Yun-Ju is huge, a pity he lost. But he is the biggest threat for them in the next years imho. (Harimoto stagnated unfortunately with no real progress and isn't good enough)

They had to rush their approach to developing him. The footwork and forehand issues are still real - that will be his battle for the next 2-3 years. But he has skills that are unteachable on defense, but he needs to be able to impose his game and not just counter. That's part of his game that is missing that makes him vulnerable vs the lower ranked players who are playing with higher risk.

 

[Atas Newton]

The lack of experience showed. Chen Meng was more than happy to just take two steps back and counter everything. Went exactly like their last few matches. Sha Sha needs a soft block or two thrown in between her loops

All is fair in love and war between teammates.

CM stands to become the first and hopefully only player to win the Olympics and WTTC in the same year.

She isn't going to win in November. I think one of her teammates will get her, likely Wang Manyu.

I hope Lin and Ma Long win tomorrow to make up for the lacklustre women's finals
