Umm, and how do you describe their unflinching support for Russian aggression in Ukraine?

At least it's his own original content and not videos stolen from other channels.

Nice interview with ZYL by Butterfly: Zhu Yuling's Comeback Interview: “I Just Want to Purely Enjoy Table Tennis Again” EJs will find the comments re T05 Hard and Rozena most interesting.

So we're all in agreement, losers of yesterday's semis should retire, right? 😂

Hayata looks like she's playing with a rapidly progressing wrist injury... Not good.

Because all things being equal, it takes more effort to hit the new ball with the same speed as the old ball when using same rubber. Think about what is needed to activate the "catapult" of the softer rubber too.

To make up for the loss of speed resulting from the transition to 40+ balls.

Well, even FIFA is hopeless here. See https://www.sportschau.de/usa-verweigern-kubas-volleyballerinnen-visa,kuba-usa-110.html and https://www.sportschau.de/einreise-in-die-usa-wird-ein-problem-fuer-sport,einreise-usa-wm-olympia-100.html.

Even the Guardian wrote about it. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/jul/05/hugo-calderano-misses-wtt-us-smash-over-visa-issue

I like your optimism - describing Trump's immigration policy changes as "an accident".

Great job America. More details: https://www.hugocalderano.com/en/not-allowed-to-travel-hugo-will-miss-the-wtt-us-smash-in-las-vegas/

Better quality (and 2 min longer video):

Sadly, these matches are also a perfect demonstration of what was lost as a result of the switch to 40+ plastic balls...

Just watch the videos on that YouTube channel. It used to be the source of the best TT videos.

Imo, these 3 matches are absolute classics.

Tried it once a couple of years ago on someone's zjk alc back when I played with K2 and didn't like it particularly. Not tacky, etc. IMO, Xiom c-series use a different technology for the top sheet, it seems at least a bit tacky.

I don't. Altitude means distance above sea level.

Higher altitude -> more rarefied air-> faster/spinnier ball Hotter/dryer air -> same Humid/cold air -> slower/less spinny ball Random air circulation -> unpredictable ball Basic stuff. Imo, halls with higher ceilings invariably tend to be large halls either with lots of people or non-trivial...

I've got to say that his idea that halls with higher ceilings result in "higher air pressure making it harder to play" is utter bollocks. P.S.: Wouldn't surprise me if he said something completely different and it was mistranslated.
