MAS in MD SF? Am I watching badminton?

Badminton, squash ( racquetball ) and soon.... table tennis.

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

Cnt retire player list:
- all of them

 

[Peter93]

We need regime change in North Korea so I can watch Kim Kum Yong at the WTT events.

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

The CNT is fortunate to have a player like LSD to carry the flag for the next generation. However, at the moment, they do not have an equivalent on the women's side. I think KM was supposed to be the one; however, her results have been just okay. I'm surprised she lost to SYB. I actually thought she would win that one. She appears to be groomed to be a doubles player.

 

[Robin0910]

Man, feel sorry for Kim, Ri missed so many shots at the end

 

[zeio]

XD F
Ri Jong Sik/Kim Kum Yong 1-3 LSD/KM (9, -10, -9, -13)

This is the CNT pair for LA 2028. WCQ/SYS will be disbanded.

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

Assuming these are the S40+, they're the official ball of all WTT youth tournaments.

Yep
I spoke to one of the coaches there and can confirm that

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

LSD/KM finally win it 3-1 but they really struggled. RI couldn't block or counter LSD. KIM Kumyong played awesomely again.

Are her rubbers made in NK ? Every EJ wants to buy it now...

According to Yarilog, she's plaing Viscaria/T05/Curl P1V.

Viscaria/Tenergy 64/Curl P1V

It's a little blurry, but you can roughly make out the 64 here.

Clearly P1V

That makes sooooo much sense then. No wonder the best performers are generally the juniors. Even those who now compete mostly with seniors like LSD and Miwa probably have more experience with the ball.

 

[igorponger]

Кim is reportedly using Tenergy 64 and Victas Curl P1 equiped with a thin sponge layer. Plus impressive pillar-like legs under skirt. 🦖

 

[driversbeat]

WS SF
Ito 1-3 Harimoto (-8, -6, 11, -8)
G3 59, 1311
G4 88, 811

DHK 0-3 Kim Kum Yong (-8, -6, -9)
G2 52, 54, 64, 67 TO for DHK, 611

Ito showed that vs. Kim Nayeong form again at 5-9 down in game 3. But 2 serve errors in a row, and the constant looking at her pips after errors have got to go. Not sure if she can do it unless she radically changes her training regime and mindset. Step 1 is finding a coach.

On a somewhat related note, it doesn't seem like the golden generation have fixed doubles pairings right now. Miwa/Kihara, Yokoi/Odo, and even Nagasaki/KNY (lol) are pretty set, Does Hayata want to pair with Ito again? Or Miwa to replicate their near Olympic success? Maybe Ito/Hirano can be revived again. Either way JNT had better stop slacking on doubles, it has cost them for 3 consecutive Olympics.

Maybe they will revive Hirano/Shibata😱

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

Maybe they will revive Hirano/Shibata😱

Or Fukuhara Ishikawa

Rewatching the match, it seems that this level of Togami is on par with his 3-1 win in their last encounter, but what have changed is LSD has learn to defend better and to slow the pace down when needed, which in turn invite Togami to make more mistakes. If he could learn to vary his pace rather than relying on speedy rally to overwhelm his opponent, he surely can reach higher

Either way JNT had better stop slacking on doubles, it has cost them for 3 consecutive Olympics.

Ito's desire was there but her body shape, reaction time, and technical/tactical execution, which peaked between late 2019 and early 2020, were a shell of her former self. Even if she knew what to do, she just couldn't get it done. Most top players with double-inverted style know how to play her. The QF against Odo made that abundantly clear. SYS's withdrawal, SHW taking out Pyon Song Gyong, and her WR got her a bronze medal here, which is way more than her current game could've gotten her. She should feel satisfied with it.

For WD, Ito has extended the olive branch, so it depends on Hayata (whether she wants to be marooned again). Personally, I think Hayata should focus on WS like Hirano does. Whether her injury never truly healed or flared up again (lying or not), it's obvious her body cannot take much more than that with the reckless way she plays. Matsushima/Miwa will be the XD pair for LA 2028. Unless Hayata learns to rein herself in further, playing WD again with Ito will just be useless work that leads nowhere. Leave the precious spot to Harimoto/Kihara and/or Odo/Yokoi for the time being.
