    If the boy was in a better mood, they would have hugged him. But I can understand, he wants to crush them not be friends with them lol.

    Please stop acting like we don't understand what you are saying. We think the coach was wrong. We think LYJ choked. It is okay to not to agree. But stop saying we don't understand. We are not idiots.

    No, I am an OB player and we perfectly understand. The point here is that we think the coach is wrong. You can say the coach was right and was managing his player. It is okay to disagree. But cut this stuff out about it being about OB players. The coach should have noted that his player was...

    Hopefully you can read zeio's post and read the rule. The rule was made with the assumption that for singles or doubles, the players are responsible but for team events, the leader of the team should make the best decisions for the team. It has nothing to do with China or Japan or Sweden and...

    The rule is that if in singles competitions, players are allowed to ignore the coach and in team competitions, coaches/teams are allowed to override the player. Of course, it is the coach's right to listen to the player. But sometimes, a coach knows better than the player. Well, they are...

    By rule, the team/coach has priority for timeout in team competitions and the individual does in singles competitions. So if he called the time out and his player didn't agree, then the coach betrayed his responsibility to the team by listening to the player or not knowing the rules.

    He is not allowed to in a team competition. So it is still the coach's mistake.

    For some matches yes, but this is not universally true. It was noticeable for the finals and semis but wasn't the case in the earlier rounds.

    Looks like they didn't field Lin Gaoyuan for Men's singles even though they had him for men's teams. It is WCQ, LJK, LSD. XP and XYB. What i also find interesting is that it is too late to replace SYS and WYD team with WYD and SXY. I wonder whether they would have done it if they could have...

    Most players who did well in 2016 have retired now. No one at their peak then is at their peak now.

    There were lots of rumors after Tokyo, even including that the CNT kept XX and ML from coming to the USA. In the end, you just have to look at the big picture as more facts come in.

    By the way, this officially kills the Harimoto is alone meme. Whether you believe the matches should have been that close or not, Togami came through in flying colors against motivated and underrated opponents.

    I doubt anyone forced FZD to retire, in fact, his break during this period of the year gives a slightly different perspective to ML's similar break after the 2021 Olympics, with the caveat that ML's break coincided with a WTTC. If FZD decides to play again, it will be a rejuvenated FZD, the guy...

    It's one thing if he had been winning points with such serves all through the match, but missing the serve completely was a pure indication of nervousness and not acknowledging that with a timeout is a sign that both him and his coach didn't really believe in their ability to win.
