Dude! Jesse Pinkman was a simple minded halfwit and a world class screwup. :D Also, Maze is like 5 inches taller than him.

We have Andrej Gaćina, perhaps not on par with Primorac or Tamara Boroš, but world class none the less. The thing is, nobody on HRT gives a damn about table tennis, and they cannot afford to buy the rights to that many sporting events any more (with 3500 employees they're absurdly overstaffed...

OK, I haven't been watching a lot of TV in the last few years, but still, I should have caught that one. BTW, I don't think HRT even mentioned the 2013 WTTC, except in the evening news.

Huh? How the hell did I miss this? O.o

Holy shit. :( Instead of being sad, I'll be happy for her reaching that age. Not that many people get to live past the 100 mark. I hope I'll still be enjoying table tennis when I get old. RIP

Hm, that's weird. They're streaming it in 480p which is far better than what we're used to. See, it's pretty crisp. Stream is a bit choppy, though, but nothing too serious. Of course, but YouTube is the next best thing. HD is a great idea, but a bit unrealistic, considering its free...

ITTF is streaming the 2013 Global Circuit finals on YouTube, and the quality is pretty great. I wish they streamed the World Tour like that. Also, streaming the matches on YouTube, instead of on their website makes it much more accessible to general audiences.

Hi Liam. When are you going to bulk up a bit? Do your friends ever compare you to Peter Crouch? :D No hard feelings, I hope. Oh, one more thing. We have this thread in which we brainstorm about the ways to make table tennis more popular and appealing to the masses. What would you do to...

What is this I don't even

Jesus Christ, look at that crowd! It's almost surreal! THAT'S what TT needs, and deserves!

There's a huge difference between ages 10 and 13. In those three years both your body and your mind go through significant changes (yes, I'm talking about puberty). Just sayin'. And I've seen Kanak Jha play, and I can't say I was all that impressed.

The last time I've watched TT on TV was London 2012. I don't think Croatian TV had any table tennis broadcasts since then, not even when Tan Ruiwu made it to ETTC finale. And to think our national network used to do live braodcasts of the European Top 12 (back in the nineties, when Zoran...

Good point. Also, I must say I don't like the camera angle that's become standard in the last decade or so. The camera is centered and in line with the middle line, so the player on the near side obstructs the ball way to often. Also, the depth perception is reduced too, and the arc that ball...

Shoulder pain seems to be quite common in table tennis. I heard two guys from my club (both in their late teens) complain about it recently, and lately I've been feeling some mild discomfort in my front deltoid muscle myself.

I don't see how that would raise the sport's popularity, but it IS a good idea none the less. Remember the 2007 WTTC in Zagreb? They did it, and it was great. Atmosphere was phenomenal.

Hi there, jpenner!

Sweet! I hope he stays in good health for a long time. Fingers crossed.

I used to think Jike was a douche, but I must admit, the guy grew on me.

Perhaps, but I do remember reading about the Chinese flipping out over Wang Hao having a girlfriend back in the day (I wonder if that's the same girl he ended up marrying). No, I don't think China is all that bad either, but it's still a totalitarian society.
