Fully reasonable and she may well have been injured. Just doubtful that it would have significantly affected the result at this point in time. I find this mixed team event a great boon to China's dominance at rhe Olympics and I think it shields them from the susceptibility they have in the...

Once I saw Tomo in the lineup in the singles slot, I accepted that this was purely experimental. But I can't think of a lineup that would have produced a different ultimate result so no point in overly thinking it. And #2 is about where Japan will be seeded anyways so it is what it is until...

Thats why it is frustrating when fans act like the team they picked is the only reasonable one to pick and that the people using other team configurations, usually national team coaches who have studied the team all year round, are just people who don't understand table tennis enough to pick the...

They have lost to Lin and Kuai. But yes, they combine to a different level and their experience and synergy is pretty much automatic now.

Maybe my intended meaning isn't properly communicated - I am not the most precise writer on most days so forgive me. He told the story of the Jewish rabbi equivalent of the supreme court and how one of them proposed a question for discussion - if you took all the laws/rules prescribed by...

Most of us will never in our lifetimes hit a shot quality a top 10 player can hit. Spinsight is now producing the data to teach us that lol.

I guess I deserve that - my Enron bluesponge was really supposed to be about following the rules vs following the spirit of the rules. But I am not a good messenger so... But the another sentiment you may have missed was to keep off topic stuff from invading the forum that people wanted to...

Haha... not at all you are funny. I have actually watched the stream a few times, just my first time commenting and then I got pulled away and couldn't see the response so I am still not sure what the drill was... We are all speculating when it comes to the pros and Zyre, your guess is as good...

Is Sora that big? The video makes him look like Jabba...

The weird thing is that lots of business schools and businesses have a very different sentiment from the predominant one expressed on the forum about whether it is worth listening to Andy about risk and ethical topics. That said, I understand that his being a criminal and what he was charged...

How much do you want to pay for the book?

100%. I think the Japanese national championships if they go like last year will be the final alarm bells.

Lots of players are using Zyre on at least one side, some cases 2. We aren't blaming Zyre for their performances. But i agree with you on the *possibility*, after all some pros switched back. But given that the players he has has lost to have been good players, often RPB players (lol), i...

Is it really Zyre though? But he can always go back to D05 but his commercial blade is relatively slow, that's his style and no one's fault. I do hope in the short off-season they can figure some things out including rest.

Japan went 0-6 in games Harimoto played. How can there be any other culprit on the team? The only other candidate was crowd pressure. It was obvious Japan did not play their best team against France. Obvious that Harimoto is not on their best mixed team at the moment. In a sense, these past...

That would be an interesting functionality. Will propose it and see how it goes. It might already be avaliable, sometimes all these forum software comes with bells and whistles that no one ever learns about.

One has to have a feel for the national level this indicates and the typical progress at that national level to know. Sometimes percentile ranking is easier to translate across countries. Even if you have played racket sports before, your improvement is up to you yo figure out and accept. I...

The match was meaningless but he hasn't played well since Asian Teams. Not sure what is driving it.

I think knowing they had qualified, the match on the whole was given that focus. I am sure it would have been an issue if they absolutely had to win.
