In the end the lineups were somehow predictable but of course I wasnt 100 % sure. Chinese coaches always go with safer solutions and the truth is ma long zhang jike ding ning and li xiaoxia all delivered when they had to deliver, sadly XX and LSW did not. LSW is definitely unlucky, if she wasnt...

XX and ZJK are officialy announced for olympics with FZD getting the p card. We dont know yet who will play in singles

statistics dont matter besides every match is different. In their best days ML is just too strong for XX . both ml and zjk just play in his bh or middle bh and move him around till winning the point, a strategy also followed by little fan

please define "deserve". let the flame begin. XX lost to to ccy in asian olympic trials

looks like all the tt experts are on ttdaily :P go on guys . *grabs pop corn*

Guys the picture was clear in the world team champs. LGL has never trusted youngsters especially after the 2004 failure. So for me its almost 100 % sure that ml zjk and xx will play in olympics. Maybe LGL will give XX a chance in singles but little fan is definitely out of the picture. He also...

ranking does not matter at all. winning the title does. waldner won world champs without being no1. so did zhang jike. ruy seung min never reached no1 in his life and lost many times to lower ranked players, but he played extremely well when it mattered. even if he lost. jean michel saive was...

Competition is cruel, get used to it. First of all we are witnessing only your side of the story and not the coach's. Im not trying to be a wiseguy here ,but if the coach really needs the money, no ethics are breeched if you ask me. If he has tons of students and he can cope really well with...

sorry for being a such prick but some people still like to believe that ma long was a victim of chinese fixing by LGL in london olympics. This rumor is still posted everywhere, and its random opinions by dissapointed ma long fans and not facts. I know its dissapointing/frustrating to see your...

http://www.ittf.com/World_Events/2012OG/Qual_system_OG2012_EN.pdf 1st paragraph of the 2nd page The top twenty-eight (28) eligible players on the first ITTF World Ranking published following the 2011World Championships to be held in Rotterdam (Netherlands), from 8 to 15 of May 2011 will be...

oh god. here we go again. let me clarify this for you with caps : SINGLES TICKETS IN LONDON 2012 WERE DECIDED FROM MAY RANKINGS 2011. 2011. 2011. 2011 !!! 2 0 1 1 . OK NOW ?? in may 2011 ma long was not number 1. end of story. You obviously didnt know the exact rules for london olympics and...

Enough with this story already. Ma long WAS NOT no1 ranked, for selection in olympics. Olympics in london were decided by rankings of may 2011. Wang hao and zhang jike were no 1 and no2 back then (ma long was no5 because of semifinal loss and previous injuries) , so the singles were already...

He is a decent player, I wouldnt say the same for his trolling abilities :P

The national team can nominate which player they will send so its not strictly a matter of ranking since top 22 slots automatically qualify, the coached know that . After all if FZD was qualified, there would be an official announcement/article news. Everytime the chinese roster is announced...

Well since china has a specific "Tradition" on whom to send . Im guessing XX ZJK and ML with XX playing in team event. Even if youngster chinese destroy the big names like FZD or Yan an did sometimes, they still dont send them in top events because 99 % of the time they are not ready to handle...

Obviously he has his reasons. First of all he doesnt need to, all of his players are qualified through the ranking list since they competed in the asian trials. So maybe he didnt want to risk any injuries or more fatigue to his players? im just speculating. Through his public statements through...

There are 2 stages. One player is qualified from each region (east asia, middle asia, south east asia etc etc) both in stage 1 and 2. when a player wins the slot in stage 1 (like ma long did) then the country he is representing has the right to send only 1 player in stage 2. If china send FZD...

Since the chinese federation will have to nominate one player more in the top 22 world rankings I guess LGL and the coaching staff will eventually decide who will go. From a chinese user (translated an article) in another forum I read that the CNT wanted to give LXX a farewell gift giving her...

not necessarily. the chinese can select either zjk or xx . all of the 3 players are qualified via ranking list so its a matter of the coaches now

Yes but in stage 2 the rules are clear. If one country gets 1 spot in stage 1 , then only one player can compete from that country in stage 2. And I dont see anywhere that the no2 of the tournament (FZD in this case) gets a second chance to qualify so they leave it to the countries to decide...
