Such is life in the CNT, eat or be eaten! We'll see if she comes out of this tournament improved in the future, as she obviously was out of the Asian Championships final loss!

And Sun Yingsha defeats Chen Meng in 7 sets, China's womens team has a very deep and very talented pool, Japan and the rest of the world are going to need to up their game pretty ludicrously quickly!

I was thinking that was likely true frome their only encounter in 2014, she's also much younger than Han Ying. She still does perform quite well when she competes though, beating notably Ai Fukuhara and Kasumi Ishikawa in the 2016 German Open and Mima Ito at the Asian Championships. Albeit it...

Just wondering, is Wu Yang considered a better Chopper than Han Ying (Wu Yang doesn't play much internationally these days)? (I watched their 2014 China Open match, and a what an interesting thing a chopper v chopper match is may I add!) Also interesting article, about chinese players moving to...

First match (Sun Yingsha vs Wang Manyu) has just started

The times are on the ITTF website (in japan local time GMT+9): http://portal.ittf.com/competitions/test/matches_per_round1.asp?competition_ID=2728&rnd=4&s_Event_Type=MS http://portal.ittf.com/competitions/test/matches_per_round1.asp?competition_ID=2728&rnd=4&s_Event_Type=WS

China's up and coming women's players are doing quite well, only Chen XingTong and Yuan XieJiao out so far, and they've knocked out Doo HoiKem, Li Jie, Kasumi Ishikawa, and Feng TianWei. Albeit they have fielded quite a large group.

correction 4-3

Timo Boll vs Lin GaoYuan now!

Indeed, seeing as it's 3-3 now and going into the 7th set!

Fang Bo is performing very poorly against Yoshimura Kazuhiro!

kudos to yoshimura on that first set! Also I wish you could buy pocari sweat in the UK for cheap...

Another interesting video, with an interview of Liu GuoLiang and discussion on the coaching changes in the CNT. Interesting Tidbit: To be the head coach within the CNT you need to meet 3 requirements according to the CTTA; have won the World or Olympic Championship, have coached someone to a...

It is indeed quite interesting! Most of these people seem to be advocates either of low-carbohydrate/high fat diets, or high fat ketogenic diets, with lustig seeming to be primarily against excessive fructose consumption. Albeit I do think that these dietary guidelines are likely quite...

How exactly would changing your diet (or eating less oil and sugar) somehow bypass the Hayflick limit? Research into aging does not show that people are 'designed' to live to 120 years old let alone 120 years with no illness or health problems! (There are some comments and calculations on a...
