donkey of the day lol

Strength is a bigger factor than being light.

I have a pretty strong core and quads like a horse, for what its worh, lol.

Strength doesnt necessarily mean bulk but it is more important to be strong than to be light for any athletic endeavor. Optimizing for the right balance between Strength and speed (and they are not unrelated) is key.

I do know a few guys who move surprisingly well despite being downright obese. However, all of them are naturally talented and madly skilled.

How many people have you helped develop them to inform your opinion on how others should look and play?

It's really Fan Zhendong's fault. If he was still around, Lin would be the #3 he was supposed to be at this point in his career.

Liang and Lin can still turn it around. I think people are underestimating what is possible. It is just nos as easy as it used to be.

There's a video that explains all of it:

It's in Chinese but essentially he was stripped of training resources when his WR fell due to injuries. Paired with the constant harassment from his own fans and the WCQ army, who wouldn't want to step away? Don't forget that without him, China probably wouldn't have secured gold in the Olympics. He did what he needed to do and left on top.

As much as I want to hate on LSD, he's obviously changing his style of play and he's in a transition period. Was it wise to put him in the tournament with his condition? Probably not.

Important caveat. I forgot that LYJ put on his uniform for Taiwan today.

It’s unbelievable how easily LYJ beat DQ.

Deciding game to decide the group

 

[TampaBayTableTennis]

OMG. CANT ASK FOR MORE THAN THAT

THANKS TOGAMI!

 

[dewnyc]

Wow, France completes the comeback and takes the group

 

[Matteones]

I really hope France and Japan meet in the final again...

 

[NextLevel]

Great match. He couldn't finish it, but Togami, this is what happens when you can't finish the job after coming so close. It is better to lose easily so that your teammates are ready lol.

 

[dewnyc]

Funny how each stream (other than t1) is ended so abruptly after the last match ends so we hardly see any celebrations or other reactions

 

[zeio]

Like it or not, this playing system has revealed/unveiled/exposed various issues (valuable intel) of the top teams ahead of 2028.
