That's going a bit far. They have a good draw to the final match at the Olympic Qualification.

They have a good draw to the last round though. Ukraine has good but beatable players and the winner of Spain and Belarus isn't unbeatable. They have to win one match that will be tough but the tougher teams are in the other half IMP.

You will be surprised. The longer this goes on, the more dudu Korea is in.

For some reason, everyone knows this except the coach who designed the selection process and took risks with the selection process instead of waiting for a new Olympic cycle to implement the changes.

I got a sheet of T05H for $60. I have never felt such a pure sensation of power when using any rubber. Now I don't feel so bad when good players blast the ball past me. I have to get a red sheet for my backhand and see how that works

And in the other half of the draw. Nice catch! They had better get no other major upsets. If a Romania or a Hong Kong fell into the 9th place event, it would cause major issues. India is tough enough and Ukraine is no joke either.

Yeah because those old Portugese ladies know how to play choppers and block loopers. South Korea had better figure out whether its bench players are its best players like the trials said.

Come on, forget the ethnicity. It was great table tennis. And it seems that Madarasz is a good antithesis of Pota.

I think Dora Madarasz is easily my favorite player to watch in table tennis. I don't know why but her topspin style of both wings just makes me excited. Especially when she leeps it up against the nasty penhold blockers. Relentless topspin for the win!

Table tennis is illogical. The transitive property doesn't work. I thought if Madarasz could beat Yu and Yu was the team #1 that Madarasz would have no problem with Yu. Assumptions are the...

Looks like Hungary without Pota are going to beat Portugal. Which puts one more dangerous team in the final elimination for Korea to deal with. This is getting interesting.

Yes, and I consider them the favorites, but this team has more question marks than a team with Jeon would have. I can't imagine that they had absolutely no other topspin player who they trusted against defence than to play Suh Hyowon against a team with probably the best female defender in the...

Well the real problem now is that they have to deal with the Netherlands (which will at least not have an injured Li Jie), Belarus, Hungary, India, France etc. They are still the favorite, but their inexperience creates question marks where a team with Jeon would have not.

Looks like Potential (Shin) just won. Now Choi has to perform a minor miracle assuming Suh can level the match.

Hungary sweeps Belarus - I would never have predicted that - all 3-2 match scores.

It's a bit unfair what they have forced this team into. No Jeon Jihee or Yang Haeun who know how to do this in their sleep. They should have at least let Yoo Nam Kyu coach this team. That said, PRK is the worst draw you can get on the women's side.

So Shin Yubin didn't win a single match at the trials. That must be some potential.

Thanks. It would be nice to know all the players since the 5 you provided did lose at times to other players.

Yes they did.

If the beginner is committed, Timo Boll ALC with H3 Neo or a Mark V type rubber on both sides. If the student is cheap, Yasaka Sweden Classic with a Mark V type rubber or a cheap tensor on both sides.
