  1. European Games 2019

    We are located in different countries. And Olympic Channel usually works fine and is obligated to show all medal determining matches/rounds.
  2. European Games 2019

    Mittleham played an amazing final five points, but the live stream froze so often that I couldn't see them. Thanks, Olympic Channel.
  3. Why doesn't the IITF have a ratings system?

    I'm not sure you get it since you haven't proposed a system that solves the problem yet you continually castigate the current system despite the fact that it has so far solved the problem it was designed to solve. You can't get accuracy and fairness if you pretend that your definitions are not...
  4. Opinions wanted on disputed point and lack of officiating

    There is usually an umpire at that event for those finals. Something must have happened that month that prevented him from being there. It is weird how Murphy's law struck.
  5. Why doesn't the IITF have a ratings system?

    Yes, Quadri is Nigerian. Training in China is overrated there are good and bad coaches everywhere. The real benefit in China is just living around good players. Kids copy TT like it is a language. I live in the US and we don't get to see many players on tour but when we once had an...
  6. Why doesn't the IITF have a ratings system?

    \ Maybe if you lived in the cities where the tours were held and got to see your favorite players, you may feel differently. In any case, it is also about getting people opportunities to play and rewarding the people who play.
  7. European Games 2019

    Polcanova, Solja and Szocs are all young, Solja should really have been on the podium and Szocs as well. Polcanova has to work on her game vs choppers when the match gets tight.
  8. European Games 2019

    He didn't see it so he had to defer to the official who was right there and had a good angle but made a wrong call.
  9. European Games 2019

    Yeah but TT is still in the prehistoric ages when it comes to video replay.
  10. European Games 2019

    Only in Europe my friend. Only in Europe!
  11. European Games 2019

    Congrats to the Magician. Groth should not be another Ionescu...
  12. European Games 2019

    He is actually a left handed killer when the player is not named Xu Xin or Groth.
  13. European Games 2019

    Timo Houdini.
  14. European Games 2019

    He looks like the favorite not the challenger.
  15. Why doesn't the IITF have a ratings system?

    Anyone can maintain an ELO system. Ratings central exists if someone wants to put in the results. This has been my position forever because I was a victim of the lack of participation driven by the old system when China didn't send any players to the World Cup in Philadelphia. The new system...
  16. European Games 2019

    Yeah but it is a complex topic. I do like Barbora's game but I think she might need to lose some weight but it is just an uneducated observation.
  17. European Games 2019

    Unlikely to be at the European games, since this is only rue 2nd one ever.
  18. European Games 2019

    National pride is like family pride or team pride, it has its good side and its bad side. Unfortunately those who see evil in it make it all about the bad side. It makes you wonder if they have children or want to raise children.
  19. European Games 2019

    Groth seems to be playing lights out TT as well. He may actually be on equal terms in the final given he usually plays Timo well.
  20. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    The advice to stop after hitting the ball to me will end up confusing a player who doesn't understand it. If Ma Long or Xu Xin is doing a windmill forehand or a big backhand, are they trying to stop after hitting the ball? What they do is they have a contact point and finishing position for...
