Whatever this is about, Zhang is best :)

I was always taught not to sit on tables and not to place bottles of water on the table...

Awesome coverage!! Zhang is making that exercise look too easy lol, I wouldn't even manage two repetitions of that :p Really cool to see international stars practice with each other.

Note that you need to toss illegally here :p Toss towards yourself, take a step forward, and hit :)

Here's a fun fact I read on tabletennista: Timo Boll is the only non-Chinese player who has beaten all five team members of the Chinese team in this years WTTTC at least once in the past years.

It's not as hard as you might think. Try it and you'll notice :)

Maybe instead of going into the match to win you should go into the match to win and not let him score more than 5 points per game. That gives you a challenge that would require you to do your best.

is the first one Karakasevic (I know, I guessed him before :p), third mayybe Persson? (Not sure if he was already in a pic :p)

Too bad, even though Denmark didn't have a very big chance anyway as they don't have a strong 2nd and 3rd player. Maze will shine in London :D

2nd is Chen Qi?

To compare: The Dutch TT Association (NTTB) has around 35.000 members, in a country with 16.7 million inhabitants. :) Read on the site of the NTTB: "At this moment we are a relatively small sports association..." xD

Haha photo 3, that's a little different from Chinese training isn't it xD

Nice! The German article is too hard on the early morning, I'll read it later haha. Thanks for sharing :D

According to the Butterfly site, it's Zhang Jike FL blade and Tenergy 64 rubbers on both FH and BH.

Great posts here! This makes me think of my own game recently. Since I am still recovering from injury, I cannot give full power especially in my FH. Backhand is all about the wrist for me at the moment, and I almost avoid FH-looping. If I loop, it goes at max 30% power with FH. Last friday I...

According to the first photo in the thread, we should watch Wang Hao. His golden shoes are back!!! ;)

Indeed, 64 is supposed to be the softer one of the Tenergy family. I always used it on my FH and 05 on BH since my BH is much better haha. Now I use Xiom Vega Pro on both sides, it will definitely stay on the BH, not yet sure about my FH.

The best thing about Japanese TV is that everybody always laughs :p

That is great news :D China opening up for the rest of the world will only improve global table tennis. The must have so much more knowledge about the sport than all other countries together, can't really keep that all for themselves can they :p

If I'm correct, the third one out (with the yellow skirt) is Sayaka Hirano. She is not a chopper.
