Hirano never complained about the selection trials despite losing so much early on, never ditched her teammates after losing and never looked down on them after winning, either. What more can you ask? Kihara is also like that.

Hayata's demeanor has also leaned toward that of Ito in recent years.
The so-called "star disease", do you think?

In Cantonese, there is a term for that, 輸打贏要, which means exactly what Trump said, that he will accept election results if he wins.

Compare that to Hirano's comment after her R64 exit at WTTC 2025 here and here, always trying to meet the expectations others had for her and putting her heart second.

There are supportive comments from Ito coming from chinese social media too (red note).
there is no doubt zeio only shares posts that suits his narrative
some of those he shares are actually really mean and bullying.
maybe he thinks we will assume that the whole of china supports his view.... yet I'm sure he knows many people on TTD doesn't buy his agendas. But I'm guessing, he insists of continue the same, and hopefully he gets intakes that suits his views.
I just don't understand why Japanese players are always the first in his firing line.

Direct linear transform (DLT) is used to map the object point (ball) to the image point (camera) and calculate the actual toss angle. Only 2 cameras are needed.

Theoretically speaking, they could use that to calculate whether the space between the ball and both net posts was obstructed.
Yeah, shouldn't be that hard for TTR to definitively judge pretty much every service. The issues probably comes when the receiver obscures the view of one of the cameras, so ideally should have 3 cameras just in case.

Athletes all little bother to follow the principle of fair play. TTR would force athletes to comply with the rules. Just keep tossing the ball up to 30 см and live secured life 🤩🤩🤩

Maybe organising the event in a circus town in the middle of a desert isn't a very good idea. Not to mention the "nazi olympics" aspect of it.
I think USATT likes to do it there, because it becomes a "holiday" + table tennis, but this isn't some national event, this is a major international.

IMO, I would have it at the heart of table tennis population of the US
You want fans, you want kids, you want volunteers, you want to lots of school kids, and hobby players.

Some people already traveled to the US nationals a fortnight before the Smash. How many people can continue two events? These are all "fan" related questions to look at too.

Be careful not to get sucked into zeio's Bizarro world where made up dramas become real in the head.

this bizarro world has few clear agendas (across multiple threads) just this month along.

1) to discredit Japan/Japanese players
2) to discredit India

feel free to add to the list

So many Tieba users wanted Hashimoto to win and how Ito isn't tactful. LOL

OTOH, Matsushima is too young to know the history of the service rule from his Instagram post and his brother Toa even cursed at Harimoto on his Instagram.

Yet the truth is Tony's Table Tennis has consistently discredited himself by spreading fake news of Miwa from a source that anyone with some critical thinking and language skills could see right through and posting his own biased conjecture on the CNT depriving WMY of her WTTC 2025 spot in broad daylight only to get corrected by out-of-the-loop average Joes, to name a few.
yet you hide from challenges from people like me, because you know I have a lot of facts.
I have way more connections within CNT than you would ever have with provincial teams. In the world of TT, you are just a fan and nothing more and you probably feeling like a god on western forums - but too many people know you well now. This isn't mytt where you get worshipped.

Tell me about Fan Siqi, where her merit (WR11) led to zero more WTT in 12 months,
started Beijing Smash 2024 with 0 points, made semi final, and then no more WTT
Define merit? Yet you talk all nonsense about JNT
Even CNT players themselves talk about merit-participation don't go hand in hand, and here you calling me a liar for speaking the truth. If i'm not lying, that mean you are hey :)

there is so much I can talk about, so lets just talk about the most recent.
let me guess, you need to go search on tieba for answer - go! haha
if you really have some face left to uphold, rather try and get information from CNT and not from your fellow amateurs

Please take up the daily quest waiting for you.

Like Tony from LC Sign, I couldn't care less about your unverifiable networking.

so you too chicken to answer merit within CNT?
but yet your chicken attitude continue to quote me about my knowledge of CNT as wrong?

grow a spine and face the challenge - of which you challenged me few minutes ago on that very subject you are trying to dodge, and stop trying to turn the subject when you get into a dead end - you no longer a little boy.

I'm waiting, what is wrong with Fan Siqi's example?
Does she not have merit?

this is you zeio, you will hide from answering, and you will just repost the link again in the future, and dodge again
this is you, and all you know. You just become professional in it, due to it happening over and over again.
your legacy after decades on western forums - is just a troll.
While the rest of us, we move on to greater part of table tennis.
This is why the same you, can't trick much people nowadays.

enough time wasted on a nobody
let me get back to Dina and Kotomi - some serious table tennis business (something you will never understand).

PS. I really don't understand how you can live your life on trashing Japanese players regularly, for over a decade. Either you get paid to do it, or you really have a major problem.

Please pose your question to JTTA, specifically Miki House why Shibata, Sato and Hashimoto disappeared from the WTT circuit from 2023 and weren't ranked until early 2024. Same for SBTF for strong-arming Moregard and OETTV for threatening Polcanova et al..

Sato on running away from facing reality

Multiple sources close to the matter on the desire of Shibata, Sato and Hashimoto to change the environment in an attempt to make the team for LA28

yet you running in your own circle and dodging with all these thinks, thinking you are smart.... more like a coward.

I don't need to ask any one questions, only need to ask you - since you quoting me.
So, what is wrong with Fan Siqi and my quote of merit-CNT.
stay on, or just say you can't.

trying to dodge this 1 last time = you can't answer, because the answer doesn't suite your narrative.
