  1. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    IMNSHO, Hugo's serve game is extremely lazy.
  2. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Not necessarily, you can play only 2 events with the right team configuration (Xu Xin didn't play singles). Playing 3 is events is a country's choice, but in that case, maybe scheduling should be a bit more favorable. SYS has beaten Chen Meng more times in the last 2 years than Chen Meng has...
  3. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Kinda sad, his coach had done a great job working on aspects of his game but other holes still remained to be exploited. And the failure to call timeout in the SF in game 1 is going to be a forever missed opportunity. But it is likely more a momentary thing, Munier has been with him for life...
  4. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    He showed up, the problem is that when people come up with tactics to play you, you have to have solutions and he didn't have any. He still hasn't solved his tendency to back off the table and this gives his opponents time and angles to exploit if they can handle his quality. Felix takes the...

    He dealt with players who had tactics that threw him off and the skill to control his power.
  6. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    The rule that whoever beats Hugo wins the bronze will now be going for the third consecutive Olympics.

    The other element missing here for some is that Sun Yingsha as a 3 event player has played a lot of matches. While we shrug it off, she and Wang Chuqin were due. I suspect on some level China will revisit what this means though it might not matter since it is more about the team than the...

    Yeah she learned decently from her beatings but so did Sun Yingsha so I don't think anyone knows what would have happened if we replaced WMY with SYS doe just this match.

    There are free options if you have a suitable VPN to the right country. There was also a free link going round that I provided. In the US, they almost never show the matches so being able to pay to see them is awesome. It has made this one of the best viewing experiences of the Olympics for...
  10. The difference between TMB T5000 & ZJK/Lin SP ZLC

    T5000 is hard and stiff and bit difficult to control with harder outer plies. I haven't met any looper who took it over the SZLC blades when given the choice. That said, if you get lucky and find a soft feeling ZJK T5000, it might work for you. Especially since Butterfly rubbers are high...

    Wait, you mean that Omega didn't notice that she flubbed XD and is not on the same level as what Ito did in Tokyo? Shame on Omega!
  12. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Seriously? What's with the jabs at everyone? There is always something, the player is dumb, the player is overtraining, the player is blocking, the player is not good enough, thr player should retire now, the player should not risk taking injections, the player is not playing up to her...

    Invitation to speculate: access granted!
  14. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Regardless it was extremely endearing to see him there for his player all the way, almost beyond the call of duty, even on some points where she might have been embarrassed to celebrate, you could consistently hear him. Ma Lin has become similar as well.

    Table tennis careers are never really long, it is the achievements that matter. I get her wanting to stay healthy and I want that too. But is anyone going to remember her for playing 4 more years without any medals or for having a WTTC bronze and an Olympic bronze? She can spend 10 more years...
  16. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    A career means very little if you can't take an injection for a match that is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

    Chen Meng upset the grand slam agenda no?
  18. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    It is an important thing all players especially power hungry amateurs need to learn. You can't hit the ball hard all the time and expect to be a good player when your timing is off
  19. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Dumbness wins. Flawless victory!
  20. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    The umpire clearly messed up the serve order. I can't believe anyone didn't notice.
