I think anyone familiar with TT knows that this 2012 story is not as simplistic as you make out. Familiarize yourself with the details, and we can have an informed conversation. Maybe when you have, then it will be worth discussing. Because you seem to not even try to understand how the...

It is hard to co-ordinate and takes time. Even in the NBA and NFL, it can add 2 minutes, sometimes more. And these are the two of richest sports in the world. I think a net sensor makes more sense for let calls, with a threshold and audible response that makes it clear to everyone.

Nah. The Japanese girls don't fold like that. IT will be a match till the end.

He wasn't doubted by many, he just choked and put too much pressure on himself. Trust me, very few people were given as many resources and opportunities to cope with their issues as Ma Long was, and you don't get those resources if people truly doubt you. If you watch any interview with any of...

I think he will retire after the Olympics.

A mild pity that LJK ruined what should have been an epic semi-final, but thanks to Falck and Gauzy for a great tournament!

Just register at the bleacher report - it is currently free.

The timeout was very stupid if you ask me. But people make mistakes.

The GOAT!

If Quadri (or even Kanak) were playing, I would be too.

In the US, David Zhuang was in the US Champs semis and hadn't lost a match to a US player in a long time. Lily Yip, who is a short pips hitter, coached her current son-in-law, Cory Eider, to beat him. I thought Korea would find someone to train An or Jang and I am sure they did.

This is weird analysis to be honest. Even in tennis people are playing with extra spin and you really believe table tennis is where less spin will dominate over more? So why is Falck the only one? At the Lower levels where are the people who are emulating him? Why isn't this working in the...

This makes the internal trials for the third CNT spot more exciting. And again, Ma Lin gives a big middle finger to the machinations of Xiao Zhan.

It pretty much does. This has been the only reason she hasn't gone so far.

Congrats. I love redemption stories. A beautiful one from Liu Shiwen.

LSW goes Super Nova again.

Portugal vs Spain!

My point is that there are many cultures where they don't shake hands, no matter whether I should have added Slavic or other cultures to my description. Just keep that in mind. The Japanese usually just nod or bow to each other, for example.

We are on the same page. The handshake is treated in just about every sport I know the way it is treated in TT. The other thing is that many cultures don't shake hands when greeting unless they have absorbed Anglo Saxon culture. This also gets missed in these things. No need to enforce the...

AJH is amazing. It is interesting that he improved so much under the radar. I always thought he underachieved as a junior but he disappeared completely from my eye. Doing this now is interesting and amazing.
