  1. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    For Miwa, the event arguably has no value (though I beg to differ but that is my own personal opinion). Rin Mende, if she played the qualifiers and made the team, should have played, the players here are strong. Qin Yuxian and Zong Geman are superleague players so it builds confidence to win...
  2. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Faso lost to the guy who would get one so not so sure... but I agree on the award.
  3. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) won the U15 boys... don't give the rich too much more money please....
  4. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Amazing match - Zong Geman probably has turned her skin to steel now - fighting through red card and two deuces to take it for China from down 0-2 - we keep our sponsors! ;)
  5. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Italy loses in a valiant effort - I guess they were the underdog after all (analysis based on result lol).
  6. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Chinese Taipei it is interesting that Cheng is so good today and Chen so bad today...
  7. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    They didn't stand a chance but I think that they would have played harder had Ankur won.
  8. Is a member who had to be reminded of his contradictory comments fit to be a mod?

    Your opinion is noted, there are a lot of assumptions and claims it makes that are generally not true, but getting into them is besides the point. I could see what @pongfugrasshopper wrote, he deleted it using his own free will in order to avoid derailing the thread and I saw reposting the...
  9. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Interesting how the losses of Faso and Ankur just completely changed the tone of the matches lol...
  10. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Faso might lose for the first time...
  11. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Tough loss for team India as Ankur couldn't close it out 2-2, 10-7 and goes down 11-13.
  12. World's Fastest Table Tennis Serve - Asuka Sakai Still Got the Moves!

    Yes, I agree and purposely meant dubious since it also isn't perfectly vertical, I don't mean clearly illegal. But again, it is all up to the umpire...
  13. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Ankur lost two 10-7 leads yesterday against Kuo - I am sure they must have discussed something even if it didn't work.
  14. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Italy beat China and Japan - remind me why they are an underdog again... ;)
  15. World's Fastest Table Tennis Serve - Asuka Sakai Still Got the Moves!

    The Lebesson dance has gone on for decades... oh, I am focusing on toss height so let me make it apples to apples lol... low toss servers, it really comes down to the umpire.
  16. ITTF World Youth Championships 2025, Cluj Napoca, 11/23-30

    Predictions - which will you be watching in 27 minutes?
  17. World's Fastest Table Tennis Serve - Asuka Sakai Still Got the Moves!

    Dubious tosses me thinks... but I would go along with it as an umpire...
  18. German league TTBL 2025-26

    BTW are these dates mistakes or are we now capable of time travel after Avengers Endgame came out?
  19. German league TTBL 2025-26

    So it looks like Final four will be Ochsenhausen (who predicated they would get back after losing both Gauzy and Calderano), Fulda, Saarbrucken and Bad Homburg. This is the first year I have followed the Pokal where it felt to me like an FA Cup version of TT with all the upsets and lower...
