I hope after Paris players speak out against the tight schedule and conflicting interests. While I'm happy we have more tournaments now than in the beginning of WTT where it was restricted due to COVID it's clear it's too much. Even I as a viewer am tired.

Can we talk about the shit job WTT has been doing with uploads for the past six or so months? It has been especially bad with with this Champions tournament. Uploads of edited matches have been really slow this time and they keep skipping points to the point it's infuriating. It took them until...

The Champions in Frankfurt last year was one of the last events and she was using a Viscaria there. You can see it in her match against Bernie. She probably tried the W968 for a while and changed back.

This is the normal version, not the Japanese national one.

But she was playing a Viscaria before the change.

Using too little glue on the first layer and hating how tiny the sponges are that come with the glue.

There is the andro TT school in Düsseldorf and another one in Grenzau. I never went there myself and don't know how high level it goes. You can check out their websites, but you won't be able to stay there for more than a week.

I have seen Kato do video collabs on YouTube a few months back. Maybe she will go down the ambassador route?

He will still play one more season in the Bundesliga so he won't be gone just yet.

And Lin Gaoyuan is out against Wong Chun Ting. Lots of mistakes from Lin he usually doesn't make.

From my experience at the low level most people get offended when you call them out on serves. I once asked a woman to toss the ball (with a please) because she didn't toss at all and she told me I could have asked nicer. People like that go down as disrespectful in my memory. Old players have...

The manager from the 1. Bundesliga women's team in Weinheim said they have 100000€ for a year (or season, I would have to look it up) and he himself does the job for free just like the people helping out with catering. Berlin, the top club in the women's game, has double the budget he said. It...

Champions wouldn't work since that's supposed to be the top 32 and it would be weird to have two "grand slams" at the same time. No sport does that, right? More feeders and contenders at the same time in different places would be good though I think.

Yeah, that too. Seems like it's just kinda a "business" thing instead of nurturing athletes to get there. Simply wrong people at the top making arbitrary decisions.

Yeah, I was thinking more players get to compete which is obviously good. Just wonder if there is any drawback I can't think of.

I just read the article. "Look, we got more medals, so it's working", meanwhile a 21-year-old sprinter who is not close to peaking quit because it's too fucking depressive to miss out.

So what do we think about the same tier of WTT events happening at the same time?

I have been using the Tibhar grip tape. It's for badminton, but you can obviously use it for table tennis too. My whole body sweats a lot when I play including my hands. I also wipe them on my shorts and rarely use a towel to wipe the handle. It still looks new under the tape and I make sure to...

I'm in Germany on a Xiaomi phone and can see the flag.

Doesn't surprise me. Did you see some of the SYS fans crying and praying in the last game? How far does fandom go for these people?
