Poor Harimoto. He’s definitely going to need a breather.

Harimoto was probably experiencing slight cramps in his right calf when he suddenly lost steam against LYJ.

JTTA turns out to be the biggest enemy to the select few players who can medal.

Just stop it.

Butterfly Japan website says Ovtcharov ALC - could've been a pre-production blade that was sent to him for testing. The Viscaria handle is the "default" for their custom blades, so could be anything, but Butterfly Japan is pretty good about saying when players are using custom rackets.

Heartbreaking for Harimoto. I could understand if he just quits Table tennis tonight

Sad thing for Japan is that France is not gonna be easier

I'm heartbroken for Harimoto. It was hard to watch him break down. Even his father had tears in his eyes.

Unbelievable!!!

Sweden annoys me. Hope china can avenge Japan and humble the gloating swedes.

I feel for Harimoto. Hopefully his mental game isn’t too screwed up in the bronze medal match

Maybe China, u never know

In that case definitely not gonna be easier lol

Just stop it.

Man, Harimoto can’t carry an entire nation’s team on his back

The ace's job is to get two wins. I can grant him some leeway, but he has to do his job. And his teammates got him a win so they did their job. For reasons, Togami deserves some blame IMHO, but no one can blame anyone other than Harimoto for not doing their job in a team match.

They've been nothing but respectful, giving hugs to the Japanese and whatnot. Do you even know what gloating is?

I don't think they have a chance.

whatever that celebration was while harimoto was in tears on the floor. Basically right in front of him too. no need for that big of a celebration. Do you see any of the asian countries doing that?

You're kidding, right?

Are you new to sports?

I mean he had the upper hand and the lead as well so that was the major slip up for team Japan but Togami is almost just as faulty since it was the same case for him but a lot of people actually didn’t expect him to win. He was also the most adamant among the team members aside the coach to cheer him up probably cause of his individual loss

Brutal defeat for japan...
