Well I didn't write him off or see comments on the thread that did, maybe another thread I haven't read is being referenced. But there is a big difference between folding under the pressure unintentionally versus intentionally. Unfixable, of course not, but legitimate cause for concern...

I would chalk it up to immaturity too, until I heard some of the Sora stories that I've heard from people I trust.

Anyone know why LYJ and KCJ aren't there? @Tony's Table Tennis ?

Not so sure about that for the Olympics. But the "rumors" are still someone's interpretation of what Sora told them directly so who knows, but those someones are people who know Sora and speak to him directly so there is clearly some truth to what we are all seeing.

I've heard from more than one direct and reliable source that Sora is very conscious of his "idgaf I'll give up" attitude and is even somewhat boastful of it. Still just rumors to an extent but I'm not defending him on this one.

He bowed, we don't need to go that far.

At some point does the Japanese team need to discipline Sora for blatantly quitting on matches? If they can even afford to...

So you're trusting LSD in the fifth if Japan played Harimoto in that position, when Harimoto is 5-1 against him? LJK has clearly not been in the best health at points throughout the last year but the Chinese coach will know his current state better than any of us. Lin Shidong is also 0-2...

He knows this because he has tried every setup ever and conducted extensive scientific testing

Ah I haven't caught up on all the matches yet. Hiroto takes game 1...prove me wrong please...

I know but that was over 3 years ago and I think LSD has grown more in those 3 years than Shinozuka has...would love to be proven wrong though

Is that Sathiyan Gnanasekaran commentating?

Yes, maybe the goal was to keep Togami away from WCQ who owns him, but I feel Shinozuka poses even less threat of an upset. Lets see..

lol

Mo Zhang doing terrible things to Fabiola Diaz

Nothing questionable about the serves...Faraji's hook is Yoshimura levels of illegal, and Noshad is Noshad

Just cause I have an American flag doesn't mean I only know American players, quite the opposite actually. Anyways, I'll be waiting to hear about any meaningful moves this group has made...

I have chatted with players in the top 50 and 100 too and they haven't mentioned anything about it but granted they are probably just not participants. Curious what the request is and whether its something that WTT would have granted anyways, but until this organization is strong-arming WTT into...
