Paris Olympic Games 2024

FZD looks very nervous ...

Pulling through in game 2 is what won it for him.

Truls was closer than the end result would suggest.

Pretty sure Adam creamed his pants

He will wear diapers next time just in case.

Nah I don't expect them to jump up and down cheering but at least applause and smile. Last night, from Ma Lin, WYD to even LGL, everyone display a face as if CNT lost gold to a foreigner. Not even ML back in 2020 got such a cold celebration like that

Well, Chen Meng is not Ma Long and she doesn't have Ma Long's pedigree. Besides, I don't reckon they watch the clips of previous years to rehearse their performance. The mood in the team was probably chilled in the aftermath of WCQ's result too, or some new internal directive/course of action. Several factors can bring about that reaction.

I think you're exaggerating a bit. Truls fought hard and didn't lose a game by more than 3 points.

He came back from like 4 points down in multiple games to even things up.

He brought his best game out IMO.

Ask harimoto about it. And Sali from Poland who wrote that FZD is not in his best shape. And one guy who wrote about boring match between FZD and Harimoto.
I Respect Truls he is not looser like HUGO BUT I didnt watch match after this pivot in third set 10-9... It was over and waste of time

I was never a fan of FZD's style of play. Very mechanical and by the numbers. Blunt force trauma combined with almost perfect consistency.

Whereas Ma Long always played a beautiful game combining power with elegance.

It's like comparing Andy Roddick to Roger Federer in a way.

Djokovic won Gold without dropping a single set the entire tournament!

 

[mrk]

Seems like his game against Harimoto was the real final. After that he lost only 1 set in two games.

 

[piligrim]

Curios if Ma Long would get gold if he played

 

[piligrim]

Before FZD went to take pictures he carefully put racket into bag

 

[d3nium]

Harimoto deserved bronze for his performance against FZD.

He learned from WCQ. Good man. Now, he’ll help China win gold.

What is this, the fencing channel?

its zeio and his hijacking of what ever things comes up his head of his.
he has 48 hours a day and he thinks every one here enjoys it

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

I can Already see everyone trying to chop block in training
(and failing)

Truls trains 1 hour a day, every day on his chop block.
mate of mine was training next to Truls for a good 4 months.

3-9, Truls' snake would make Adam super proud!

makes Adam's one look amateurish now.

Snaking the olympic champion at a crucial stage of the olympic finals....

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

First thing, Fan put the blade in its case.

SYS did the same in the SF
everyone did the same, even putting the bag on the chair and even getting CNT staff to guard the bag

they need to also guard FZD hotel room, for underwear thief

 

[andzejgolot]

I saw information about three of Taylor Swift concerts in Warsaw. It is really sad and empty feeling for FZD and I think he thought about that when he was down with Harimoto, fast L and to the concert to the moon, but he won gold and makes his family proud. I think he still didnt know what is worse, missed concerts or missed gold medal...

biggest choker of the event Harimoto Tomokazu.

biggest choker of the event Harimoto Tomokazu.

you mean WCQ?
loosing to a 19th seed

some also say Hayata must retire.

jokes aside, hopefully both can become stronger for LA

English is unlikely to be your first language but since I was the guy who wrote about boring match, it was my prediction which Harimoto exceeded beyond my expectations. And it was clear after that everyone had a right to make fun of my prediction and many did.

What's with the jabs at CIC? She's Taiwan's best player and has had a really fine career. Adam speaks glowingly of her and her ability to come back from injuries.

its zeio who has a never loose attitude
when he struggles to reply facts with me, he takes jabs at any Taiwanese person.

I know it is difficult to follow, amidst his spams of quotes of posts (and those from outside this forum) and stuff, but after few years of reading some of his posts, you will know what I mean.

He wants Hayata to retire, now he is like praising her a hero to take an injection that no other tt player has taken.
I told him that many has taken, and he taking a jab at CIC in retaliation....

see, how immature he is.
10 years ago, I thought he was a teenager who has too much time
10 years later, I still think he is a teenager who has too much time

I once asked him nicely - how the heck do you have so much time in the world. I followed up asking, what do you do for a living. Do you even have time to play table tennis? lol
he choose not to reply.
he remains a mystery, and many TTD users takes turn to keep him busy.
