We are mixing up a few points here (whether the current system should give points for tesm events or continental events or national events) vs tour events vs points and ELO. The WTT is trying to create a professional tour in an atmosphere where national affiliation is the core of the tour...

This perspective is a bit one-sided, there are many situations where world ranking in points based systems does perform better than ELO. It's ultimately a balancing act, and the points systems do encourage tour participation to maintain ranking, while ELO systems were difficult to use to...

Japanese or Korean fans? Or more likely a deranged fan of a German teammate like Boll who Dima has displaced?

Ttgearlab has a review, maybe you can learn what a reasonable proxy is by reading that review.

It's a technical and timing adjustment with a focus on spin that you need to practice, but which you have not shown much interest in making when it was discussed prior. Those are pretty tough smashes so if you can make them consistently against quality balls, keep doing them. But if you want...

You are young it is best to change when you are young and get something you can use for a very long time. So yes, I would say go faster earlier, because the feeling needs to be adjusted to and you will be able to maximize the benefits with training.

The more I think about it, maybe someone who cares for Ito convinced her to play using that argument and rather than realize the person was trying to be kind to her, she actually believed their logic.

She needs to find a reason to remain delusional. Lack of tact can ruin anyone.

I don't know the number of subscribers he has, but many people have full time jobs on youtube with around 50k subscribers. And there are even top chess players who make much more money streaming chess and chatting with fans than playing at the top 10 level. Niche sports are just hard to make...

It's the new world, you can get more money as a TT influencer than as a TT professional.

There might be a rule tying ranking to some prior result in a prior event.

The Japanese Olympic TT teams are: Women : Hayata, Hirano, Harimoto Men: Harimoto, Togami, Shinozuka XD: Harimoto, Hayata Two of your team members have to be in the singles event barring injury substitutions. The XD team can be any man or woman from the the teams. So more likely than not...

The Hungarians are mercurial and experienced and Togami and Shinozuka have time to figure it out. Let's remember that Mizutani and Niwa got it done in the end vs the Koreans no less. If they can do it, Togami and Shinozuka have hope.

That's the team event - it's not MD or WD. IT's still there. But the Japanese can field any combination of players in the doubles match.

Only XD is an Olympic event. And that is Harimoto/Hayata.
