Could be a political dimension to it, but even Fang Bo is excluded. I guess this also means no Hirano, Kihara, or Nagasaki in Super League as well.

Table Tennis: China's Table Tennis Super League suddenly bans foreign players from participating; Lin Yun-ju and Guo Guan-hong will miss this season.

Miyuu Kihara got a WTT Nomination as did Fang Bo.

Not sure why, but ZYL's Zero Point Penalty that was originally set to expire on Nov 9, 2026 has been lifted. Maybe an appeal was made?

Sally takes the WS title with a 4-2 win over Amy. Kanak takes the MS title over a hard fought 4-3 win over Nikhil Kumar.

Whatever the case may be, I'm glad Hina cleared the air. What ultimately matters is that the JNT has the strongest WD pair.

Amy Wang is in; Adriana Diaz is out

I mean a hint for the Olympics.. Miwa/Hayata and Miwa/Odo are the 2 highest Japanese WD pairs. Anything can happen still, but there's a good chance these 3 players will be the Olympic team so it makes sense to try out the best pairings from them.

Miwa and Hina team up in WD for the 2nd Smash in a row. I think that's a hint from the JTTA. Also, no Miwa / Sora pairing this time. I actually think that's a good thing for both Miwa and Sora. It's hard to tell because it could just be Sora's personality, but he does not seem interested at...

[Table Tennis] Miu Hirano: "I want to raise my world ranking." Regarding the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, she said, "I hope it will happen after that."...T.League Kyushu signing press conference.
