How did Truls struggle to play this well against Lin the way Harimoto is playing?
Truls doesn't have the same backhand topspin. A good one but not a great one. And Truls doesnt have a lefty teammate with a strong backhand topspin either. Truls ability to disrupt arguably hurts his ability to play straight TT sometimes and sometimes that is what works.

No wonder some Tieba users feel this Harimoto is scary - Oni Harimoto.

Lin wins the first game by a good margin. Tomo wins 3 games by minimum margin. Such is table tennis.
I feel it took one game for Harimoto to adapt to serve/receive and also to anticipate the Chiquita course and power. He was no longer surprised

Took more than one game for sure. And it also took Lin precious time to realize basic chiquita will.not woek vs Harimoto and that he needs to take real risks. A good match and it probably takes the mystery out of the whole tie like Coton did yesterday. The X factor is Togami lol...

If Uda and Shinozuka never play a match in this tournament, do they get medals? Asking for friends... seriously...

More seriously does it hurt team spirit if Uda and Shinozuka never play in this event but they win gold medals?
