Hard to tell. But given LYJ's track record in WTTC, he'd probably lose in the next round (Aruna) even if he got past Moregard.Would Lin have beaten Truls if he had getting past Lim? Who really knows....
No stakes lol!Matsushima gets his revenge by beating Daniel Habesohn convincingly at 3,4,6.
Denmark moved Groth to the third slot since they realized that Slovenia would likely rely on Darko winning two and Kozul winning the third slot. I didn't think Rasmussen was good enough for the strategy to make a difference but between his play and Hribar's choke job, it was enough to make it work.MT Seeds

昨日の練習前のミックスゾーンでの会見で、日本男子の田㔟邦史監督が大会前のNT合宿での準備について尋ねられ、「あえて言えば……」と前置きをしたうえで、こんなことを言っていた。
「(張本)智和のフットワークの時間を増やしたというのがあって。いつもだと1コマ7分半を3回ずつやって休憩なんですけど、智和だけ2回分の15分をぶっつづけでやったり、時間を多めにして取り組んできました。チャイニーズタイペイ戦ではちょっとでも成果として現れたかなと思いますけど」
フットワークを増やすことを監督から告げられた時のリアクションは、張本自身が再現してくれた。
「『いやあ、ちょっと、本当ですか?』みたいな感じで言ったんですけど、『本当だよ』と。初日はキツかったんですけど、毎日やりました。
習慣化したらまずいと思って、2日目くらいから田㔟さんと距離取ってたんです。話しかけられたら終わりだと思って。でも歩み寄ってきて『今日もやるから』って。習慣化されちゃいました(笑)」(張本)
ちなみにそのフットワーク「倍増」の成果について、「そこで体力がついたり、足の動きもスムーズになった」と張本は語る。ベテランならば大会前の合宿は調整が中心になるが、我らが日本男子チームのエースはまだ20歳。ガンガンやり込んで調子を高めるというやり方もあるのだろう。
ちなみにまだ決勝トーナメントのドローが出る前だったが、「チームの勝利が第一ですが、決勝トーナメントで対戦してみたい選手はいますか?」と張本に尋ねてみた。
「やっぱりフランスですかね、ルブラン兄弟が強いので。ドイツや韓国はいつもやり慣れている相手ですけど、ルブラン兄弟とはまだ1回ずつしか対戦していない。すごく楽しみというか、普通の対策で済む相手ではないし、普通のプレーをする相手でもない。まあ、面白いと言ったら、そこが一番面白いですね」(張本)
...
ちなみにもうひとり、大物の名前を挙げた選手がいた。「中国の馬龍選手とやりたいなと思っています。昔から憧れていた存在でもありますし、五輪で何度も金メダルを獲っているので、一番対戦したい選手」。答えの主は16歳の松島輝空。こちらは準々決勝に勝ち進めば、実現の可能性は十分にある。その意気や良し、だ。

Losing to the silent assassin isn't surprising. Falck getting creamed by Kao Cheng-Jui in the 5th match is. 11-1, 11-2, 11-9.Well, Falck can not agree more
Falck almost did a South African thereLosing to the silent assassin isn't surprising. Falck getting creamed by Kao Cheng-Jui in the 5th match is. 11-1, 11-2, 11-9.
It was a choke job, by the time he recovered, it was too late. If he had the same mindset in the 1st game that he got to late in the third game, he would have played much better. The pressure got to him and he started thinking too much.Falck almost did a South African there
Did you see Falck recovered?It was a choke job, by the time he recovered, it was too late. If he had the same mindset in the 1st game that he got to late in the third game, he would have played much better. The pressure got to him and he started thinking too much.
Strictly speaking, they should follow the IOC country codes.I always wondered why the Japanese broadcast just calls them "Taiwan" while the English broadcast calls it "Chinese Taipei", which is supposedly the official name.
What do other foreign language broadcasts call it?
It was definitely a mix of both Kao relaxing and Falck giving up and relaxing out of hopelessness. But Falck played way below his level - Kao should probably win but not that much.Did you see Falck recovered?
he was gifted points from Kao for loosing concentration
Like Sleepy Joe, does White Hair look like he is in charge?Seems like whitehead Watanabe favours Miwa over Hirano. Based on his track record the lineup for the finals is going to be the same.
