Miwa: Maybe I should have been the one to play Kyoka Idezawa yesterday as practice against pips.

Oh? Who have retired already, pray tell.

SXY: is that a compliment or...?

I remember Li Yake has pretty solid foundations but she's not winning rallies against Nagasaki. The new gen of Chinese women seems really vulnerable - looking forward to ATTC!

ZYL: Sister CM, don't worry. If you are banned from CNT, you can join the Macao team like me. Remember our twinning days?

https://www.nst.com.my/sports/others/2024/08/1093572/china-awards-table-tennis-olympic-gold-medallist-6kg-gold-and-rm232 Mystery solved. CM was highly motivated for the real gold she will be winning, not those "chipped" medals. Also, FZD's MS gold is not worth the same amount as WCQ's XD. No...

Hayata said that she will loan Kihara her Team silver while she poses with her Singles bronze so that they can have a nice group photo. But it is emblematic of the subgroup - Kinoshita and Hayata lol.

Does an injured Hayata really want to play SYS and risk having the loss on her shoulders though? Lol.

Afraid I'm with zeio on what went down in G5...

WMY: Three years later I'm still leading the doubles.

Heard JNT changed their lineup to let Hirano play first singles ?

Exactly, so LSD/KM might learn from CM and decides to only excel in Singles so they are not locked down for XD. Though there's a chance they might end up like LJK, so 50-50.

LSD/KM: Should we win? Unlikely we will be able to play all three events at the Olympics though, considering the two #1s did not secure gold in the Singles event.

Just based on the photos, reserves get no medals, at least if they didn't play.

Plot twist: CNT ordered the win so that SYS will continue to work hard for another 4 years since they have no one reliable from the younger batch 😅

No, but they are in Paris. Ended up taking picture with Ryu Seungmin instead :)

LGL looking grim-faced here LOL

Is SYS trying to contain herself to not get carried away or just couldn't get into the zone? Looks to be on the defensive more than half the time. DYP, ZYN + DN: Excuse you, we were made to fly hours to Paris just so that a group photo celebrating the birth of a new grand slammer can happen.

Hmm thinking about it, if JNT is bold and really had to replace Hayata with Kihara... that might also work? Considering Kihara/Harimoto is a better pairing than the deadlocked Hirano/Harimoto but that means Hirano needs to display her QF G4-6 form as first singles throughout. Or will Hayata be...
