    I... Disagree. His forehand technique is too bad for him to be an all-out attacker and his backhand countering is near-perfect.

    Baby Shark got bitten.

    It's clearly not NOTHING, Fan Zhendong had a very real opportunity to challenge Ma Long's GOAT status. He was already a two-times world singles champion, title number three was all but guaranteed... Olympic singles gold #2 was very much on the table as well, I believe, as was the WTTC singles...

    I watched FZD in the flesh exactly once and the power behind his strokes seemed staggering. One of the hardest hitters I've ever seen, hands down. Also, blazing fast, but yes, also very consistent. Consistency may be THE factor that put Ma Long above everyone else as well.

    🧐 Is there a "normal person" perspective somewhere for us to read, also?

    I transcribed and translated the video using AI, here's the PDF if anyone's interested: https://files.catbox.moe/aeo8d7.pdf A lengthy read.

    I have a pretty strong core and quads like a horse, for what its worh, lol. :ROFLMAO: I do know a few guys who move surprisingly well despite being downright obese. However, all of them are naturally talented and madly skilled.

    Doesn't make much sense to me. Inertia is a huge factor in footwork. Also, being lighter on your feet just feels so much better than being heavy. Less strain on your ankles and knees as well. I speak from personal experience, having played a few matches in the Croatian Superleague during...

    Oh man... I wanted Coton to win, but I did not want Togami to lose. Does that make sense?

    That Japan, though.

    I've personally gotten in and out of shape way too many times to not know what I'm talking about. I also have some formal education on the subject. I don't think it's his fault. I firmly believe he was mistreated in some way.

    And who will be yelling at Wang Hao, Xi Jinping? His squad is in bad shape. He brought with him a group of people who didn't earn their place here. Lin Shidong would probably be best sent home at this point. WR#21 Liang Jingkun had no business coming to London in the first place.

    Retire at 21? What he needs is a lengthy break and some quality mental training. Also, reducing his body fat percentage wouldn't hurt. Sorry, needs to be said.

    He's losing to his demons again. Liang Jingkun has very little agency here. EDIT: Make that zero agency. Demons vanquished again. Kudos for shaking the umpire's hand. I probably wouldn't.

    I think the stats refute that. But I really wouldn't pay much attention to his pre-Europe-Smash stats. Truls broke his brain in Malmo.
  16. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Jesus Christ, Truls, get it together! Or don't, who cares.

    LSD came back from 0-2 and was up 3-0 in the fifth when I posted it.

    LMAO, overrestimate Lin Shidong at your own peril. :ROFLMAO:

    From PingPongAfrica: Absolutely disgusting, if true.
