    If you read it then the problem is reading comprehension.
  2. DTTB Announces Paris 2024 Lineups

    She needs to thank god and all the saints for being born a leftie. As a rightie not being a very physical player it would have been very difficult for her. I wonder if it was a coincidence or it was done deliberately to have an advantage both in her case and timo's knowing they both come from...

    It doesn't matter if it releases your stress. It has been agreed it could be uncomfortable for opponent... so don't do it looking at him. Why would you assume the crowd will not be bothered as well? In general I would say tennis and table tennis are the biggest drama queens of sports. Maybe...
  6. Suggested rule change

    this is after a finish of the match or after you win a very decisive point. Not after every single point. And they don't look at their coach like looking for approval.

    Is it a universal sign of victory? I only see TT players do it. Again, if it's so universal It shouldn't be a problem to do it looking at your adversary. It's not that you hate him and want to kill him.....it's just a celebration. The fact that you turn around and do it looking at your...

    I have played professional table tennis, but I never saw the logic of screaming to my coach and showing him a fist after every point I win. So I never did it.
  9. Suggested rule change

    So even ITTF admits this gesture and scream is somewhat annoying.....so they suggest not to do it while looking at your opponent. Yet you can do It looking at spectators or your own coach. Lacks logic to me. Imagine I am in a small venue watching Borussia Dusseldorf and each time the player...

    I think it depends. If you are celebrating it's normal to look at your coach and teammates. But when these players cho I'm not sure if they are celebrating or trying to look menacing and dangerous (closed fist, anger face). It's confusing.

    If you cannot shout "cho!!!!!!" looking at your opponent with an angry face and making a fist because this could offend him.... Why did ITTF think it was perfectly fine to turn around and do this looking at the spectator watching your match? It's stupid. Also complaining while looking at the...
  14. Suggested rule change

    Rule 6.6.6 "If a player is going to scream after winning a point he must do so looking at his opponent" I'm tired of watching matches on YouTube and having players turn around and shout looking at me. You are not playing against me bro, look at your opponent....
  15. ITTF/WTT problems reported from players

    Well it's the conditions they set. If a player doesn't like it he can quit the national team and never play ittf tournament again.
  16. ITTF/WTT problems reported from players

    Football players arrive several days before the match, live together in a hotel, train together.....they also have the pressure from the fans. TT player arrives, plays his matches and leaves.....it's almost like a tourist. Also zero pressure, if you lose nobody criticizes you.
  17. ITTF/WTT problems reported from players

    There's the qualifiers for the world cup, the qualifiers for the euro, the world cup, the euro, friendly matches that your national association sets up..... total is around 10-20 matches per year. And football is a team sport so sometimes they travel to their home country, train together for a...
  18. ITTF/WTT problems reported from players

    It's a bit like having a job and your employer is ITTF. In a normal job if you don't go you because you are sick you must present a doctor certificate. It makes sense that they force them to go, otherwise nobody would go to WTT except the chinese who always win lol. FIFA is similar....if they...
